You're paying for good hardware without all the vendor bloatware that the rest of us get. My pixel 5 died the other day and I replaced it with a Redmi note 13, and I miss the pixel. The Redmi, like other phones I've experienced, took a few days to stop sucking at performance, I guess that's how long the crapware took to settle down - my pixel was fast from the get-go.
Your primary mistake, though, is thinking that buying a phone from Google entitles you to premiums services on that phone. This is an invalid supposition.
If you want no YouTube ads, buy premium (and enjoy YT music as part of it). Or use a client like newpipe.
- not_your_vase 2y agoI don't think the OP thinks he should get premium service because it's from Google. He feels he is entitled to premium service because of the pile of money they ask for the phone. But basically the price-multiplier between redmi and google are justified with the first 3 days of ownership, when the redmi is slower? I agree with OP. This doesn't sound like a particularly cromulent argument.
- wruza 2y agoI’ve worked with quite a few mi/redmi for a project and even owned one (for a while) and never experienced the described few-days settling period. They just worked without any slowdowns. I literally set up a few new phones a day and put it into work. I guess gp describes some sort of misconfig or otherwise irregular behavior. It was a couple years ago though, software could change. Anyways, paying a shitload of money and getting ads in your face every few minutes or every other tap is unjustified. But that is android’s nature, honestly what did OP expect? That google will save them from itself? I’d buy a decent non-android instead.
