  • Xiaomi Mi 9 in-depth review & unboxing. Without a doubt, this is Xiaomi's best yet. Super quick SD855, great AMOLED screen, better cameras, NFC & 20W Qi charging. But still some minor issues we see time and time again. Where to buy: bit.ly/2EqYXmS

      Great review! I think its important to talk a bit more about the price, with phones coming out with more features but are probably double the price. This phone is for people that want a lot of features for that aggresive Xiaomi price tag. Another discussion point could be, how does this device place in the market? Are they competing with oneplus or honor? Are they seperating themselves with the extremely low pricing? Could you also confirm whether or not this device has double tap to wake? Thanks for the content, keep up the good work!

    Apart from the lack of USB 3/video out (which would be a major plus for me - I regularly use my company Samsung handset with my type C dock) and the lack of OIS (which I think is a fairly big ommission, it's one of the things I really like about the MI 8) it looks like a great handset! Glad they finally seem to have started including Widevine L1. It seems a pretty good offering and decent value for money. Software, yeah..... needs some work (as does the MI 8, the ROM was pretty much garbage for 6 months after the MI 8 came out), but looks like a decent improvement over the last phone.

    I've been waiting for this review! 2 things I want to ask.
    • How does the speaker compare to your S9+ is it good as?
    • Can you please do another test using the Google camera app please?

    • @kpcassell419
      @kpcassell419 Před 5 lety

      Ported Google stock camera app is only going to seem marginally better than the stock app simply because the pixel series of phones have a proprietary chip inside which works alongside the app and hardware which gives such stunning results. The chip is called 'Pixel Visual Core'. It's never going to make a remarkable difference I'm afraid to say.

      @@kpcassell419 wrong, the Pixel visual core is literally for handling a task that the main cores would normally do. I know this because I owned all Pixels and the visual core wasn't active during the early times of the Pixel 2. Both visual core and off produced the same image quality on the Pixel 2. I'm currently using a Pixel 3 and a Mi Mix 3. I can tell with certainty that the Mi Mix 3 is MILES better with the gcam mode and is practically good as the Pixel 3 but not actually beating it. It's actually very hard to tell unless you're Pixel peeping. But the point being is the gcam makes a better and significant difference.

    I feel underwhelmed by cameras in phones so far in the 2019 generation. Xiaomi is no exception. OIS should be standard these days with handsets which cost upwards of £/€/$/400. I know Xiaomi need to make cutbacks in order to keep the price sensible but I feel they make it in the wrong areas.
    Let's hope the Pixel 4 does something amazing (or the Nokia Pureview).
