Redmi phone after long iphone use, as an experiment. I used it for six+ months, made sure I get used to it before criticizing, then sold it to a colleague. The upside is, I got a new iphone instead and it felt like changing from new shoes to old comfy ones.
- mickelsen 2y agoWell, the Redmi segment from Xiaomi is known to cut corners to give you the feature-packed phones at a low price, usually they are the least consistent experience compared to flagships and POCOs, their other cheap brand. Same warning goes for Oppo and Vivo cheaper series: they don't seem to have a good mix of specs, they pick one or two things as the main selling point but skimp on the rest. Middle range and flagships are fine tho. I use iPhone mainly, but for Android I usually stick to either Pixels or Motorola, even the cheap ones have been quite reliable for me, both hardware and software, plus they are usually a good deal.

Miui was fine too, it was generic “android experience” that made me hate it. I avoided sharing details cause neither HN does usually like it nor I want to remember. It was one of the biggest physical and psycological a reliefs in my life getting a new iphone afterwards.
