If you could change only two things about the Mi A2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

What would you change?
For me I would probably say a super AMOLED display and micro SD expansion.

Bigger pixels for the camera, nexus 6p had 1.55 microns and NFC for me. Missing my yubikey neo already.

Pretty sure the camera thing is already good, in that the 20mp lens has 1.0 microns but it also has pixel binning. That takes 4 adjacent pixels and combines them into 1. Which effectively gives 4.0 micron pixels. Combine that with the very wide aperture of 1.75 (on the back), and that's a low light marvel really.

Have only had mine a few hours...
I'd probably go with slightly thicker, but not much.
NFC would be great to have (have never used it much, but say you forget your wallet, then you still have a way to pay).

Bigger battery and headphone jack.

Bad Diaplay

My display is looking like it's in a low resolution, feels like I can see the pixels and look oversharp, I didn't change anything on the settings and coming from a phone who isnt famous for the display (iPhone 7) this screen feels worse ;(
That's because it's a 1080 pentile matrix display . With a pentile matrix the effective resolution is lower than it actually is around 900, so yes the OP3T display isn't great and looks quite grainy.
I'm coming from a Nexus 6p with qhd and the difference is not noticeable. It could be during some game but actually I didn't see any difference..
Lol i dont see any problem and i welcome this display over these ridiculous 4k battery hogs. The funny thing is 4 years ago you would have looked at the latest iphone and been like wow the display is beautiful. Just because there are phones with better looking displays doesn't mean anything worse than them is now somehow bad.

The latest optimised 2k(they're not 4K) panels use LESS battery than most poor 1080panels. The whole "2k panels use more battery" is a myth with today's tech, check out the S7 battery life for this. The fact is, the OP3T panel is poor quality and the pixels can be quite easily seen.

I don't see it either. I've recently switched to the OP3T from a Xperia Z3 with an LCD screen and the OP3T definitely has a much better screen.

Yes, for me the problem is the sharpness, comparing to my Moto G4 screen the OP3 looks worse.

There's bad fringing around text also. It's just a bad display.
I do think some people are more sensitive to it though, it definitely annoys me.

You definitely cant see pixels it's clearly in your head people where claiming you couldn't see pixels on the iphone 4s at the time. Can i ask what size your pc monitor and what resolution it puts out? I don't understand why people think 1080 on such a tiny display isn't already insane as it is. You are just getting fixated on numbers for no reason. And you are being silly there is no myth, more pixels = more battery use no matter which way you look at it it's a fact, the newer panels might be more efficient but it still doesn't make up the difference.

I completely disagree. I'd say that some people are more sensitive to it and so might not be able to see the pixels where some can. 1080 on a 5.5inch pentile display isn't overkill. The OP3T doesn't beat the S7 or even the 2K Pixel XL on battery life, why if 1080 is such a big battery saver? because Samsung are class leaders in screens and optimisation, their panels sip battery.

Exactly why samsung and those 2K screens now default to 1080 resolution on Nougat. You have to go in and manually set it to 2K if you want it that high for some reason. I wonder why Samsung would do that if it didnt improve performance and battery?

I know that a 1080p diplay is just fine, but im questioning the quality of the display. Again, i dont know if its just mine device but theres a notable oversharp.

Coming from an S7 Edge as of Friday, I can tell you that the battery life on it isn't very good. 100% stock I would get less than a full day, and with the garbage root method we had, I would get about 6 hours (with 5 hours being standby) before I had to charge it. And as far as the screen goes, I can't see pixels exactly, but I do notice the grainy effect because of the pentile matrix. Although colors, contrast, and sharpness are fantastic. White letters on a colored background can be seen as grainy if you're really looking for it. Still very happy with this display
Gotta say I love the display on the 3T which is same as 3 so yah really don't see the quality problem. My other phone being the Galaxy S7 really don't see much a difference with these to.
I have to say the 3T display isn't great, I can definitely notice the drop in resolution over a 2k screen. The 3T looks grainy. I hope they increase the resolution for the OP5.

When you say "easily", what do you mean ?? Like sticking the phone on your nose to see the pixels ??
Cause I use it about 1 feet away "at least", and I don't see no pixels.
Asking for a 2K display on phones is like those people who ask for 60+ FPS on a game, but has only a 60Hz monitor.

I can without a doubt see a grainy effect on text at normal viewing distance. 2k resolution smooths it out, 4k is probably overkill.

But I don't think that the problem here is the resolution, seems like the display quality is the real problem ;/
I did something and in my opinion the display look a lot better. If you have root download easy dpi changer and change the resolution to 2560/1440, 3200/1800, 3840/2160.
Tell me if you see any difference, I know that seems crazy, but for me worked.
There are some bugs like black recent apps e tou can't take screenshots, but for me worth it.

Clarity/resolution

The OnePlus 5T has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I have used Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for 2 years ( AMOLED 2k) before coming to 5T and I really don't see any difference.

Good to know, I'm eyeing a 5t myself. I think I read that they use a different 'diamond' pixel spacing on the 5t, so it may actually appear more pixel dense than the old lentil arrangement on Samsung's previous amoled panels.

If you meant "diamond pentile matrix", then Samsung has been using it from S3 days or even earlier than that. Today's Samsung sourced mobile amoled displays have diamond pentile matrix only that includes 5t as well. This pixel arrangement gives less number of green and red subpixels compared to LCD and other screens but it's non noticeable for a screen with ppi more than 400. It was a problem in S3 and note 2 days bcoz of low resolution but not anymore..
So get the 5t with eyes closed.

What I can tell you is that the display is perfect. No discoloration or hues on tilting the screen, brightness is uniform only thing is the display looks a bit...really a bit more reflective than the note 4 display but then it could be because of the screen guard thats pretty applied. Other than that nit picking the display is amazig.

I went through 3 different pixel 2 XLs (for various defects) before setting on the OP5T; all 3 pixels had significant uniformity problems with the top being brighter than the bottom. Also very grainy. Can't find anything wrong with the display on the 5T.

Yes, it's a lottery with LG's OLED panels, but with Samsungs panel, it's more consistent per panel.

Not sure. Plenty of pink tints etc on Samsung panels. But the Samsung ones are a lot better anyway.
I had 2k screens (G3, S7e and Pixel XL) for 3 years and while I can squint and see that the 5T is a lower resolution, it looks the same when you use it normally.
I was a little concerned about this, but was relieved when I got the phone and the screen was very nice and crisp.
I would like to admit to being quite picky about resolution and used to change it on my G3 to get better battery life but couldn't stand it being slightly "blurry" because it was no longer 1:1, pixel for pixel. Most people don't notice this but it did! (Not that the text looks blurry on the 5T because it is 1:1 at 1080p.)

Hey, i just switched too from the Note 4 to too! Before buying i was sceptical too due to the 1080p screen, so i went to the stores and had a look at the mate 10 pro, wich also has a 1080p 6" screen and i couldn't see any difference, so i ordered the OP5T. I am very happy with the screen! Can't see any difference in normal use aswell. Plus it has a much whiter white than my Note 4.
Coming from the 2K screen on the Nexus 6P to the OnePlus 5 had me a little skittish, but it wasn't a significant enough change to warrant returning it. The 5T's OLED panel takes things to another level with its brightness/darkness levels and battery life impact. I thoroughly love it, and went as far as to drop my font size to the lowest possible to give me the faux-highres feel.
Currently my oneplus 3 screen uniformity is rubbish. It's especially noticeable on white band even more so on grey backgrounds with a very noticeable yellow tint towards the top left of the screen. It's pretty gross.
I know it's a bit of a "lottery" with OLED screens but can I expect a better overall experience coming from the OP3?
Id the oneplus 5t screen from samsung ? Shame google couldn't just take an oled display from samsung because otherwise, the pixel 2 xl would be the perfect smartphone.....

Sadly it costs to much and has no headphone jack and has not much development.
now back to topic: the screen looks fine nearly the same as on my op3 but thats okay it was a very good screeen.
I've from a QHD Super Amoled display from my Note 5 to this phone. Unless you're gonna use a magnifying glass to pin point pixels, you're gonna find both both displays are excellent. I am extremely happy with the display with my 5t.
Screen looks awesome to me. With any oled screen it's a lottery how uniform it will be.
The screen looks fantastic to me... no noticeable difference from a 2k one.
The phone does not support VR so it would have been only a useless battery draining feature.

S10 or S10+?

Even though I have a 6T 6.4" I wouldn't say no for an s10 with 6.1" but the claim that battery is much better on the + is making me think twice.
Anyone has both in exynos and can compare SOT?
Do you feel the single small punch hole of the s10 much more tolerable than the cigar shape dual lens of the s10+?
S10+ will be better.

Whatever size you like. I looked at both and I liked the S10 better because it was a little smaller. I keep BT, location and wifi on all day on my S10 and usually have between 30 and 40% left when I charge it at bedtime. I'm fine with the small cutout but I don't thing the oval one would bother me either. It looks like the Snapdragon may have a little better battery life so if you're getting the Exynos then your usage may vary. Some people are more anal than others and don't like either cutout so in the end it's what you're looking for in a phone.
S10 is fine if you some extra bucks then go for S10+
So it doesn't bother you to have a bigger "hole" out of nowhere on the s10+? On the s10 I could live with it
I have both and will be selling my ceramic S10 plus. The standard 10 just feels to be the right size and going back to the plus just illustrates how much managing these large phones take, yes you get used to it but there is no doubt that the 10 is easier to use one handed and less of a burden to carry.
The jump from say 5.5 or 5.8 made the burden worthwhile but 6.1" is hardly a small screen and may well be the sweet-spot
YMMV

I tried both, figured I'd prefer the S10+ because of the battery but even if I'm used to 6.4 inch displays (note 9, 6T), a far prefer the S10's format. It's just a bit less screen but to me, it feels much better in the hand.

I have found a thread in xda where people are getting 8h Sot with the s10 after a full reset and no apps restored from backups.
If this is confirmed I would take the s10. My 6t actually gives me 7h sot which is good for a full day, I would certainly get 10h if I do a reset but I am too lazy specially if I will sell it soon
I love the standard s10. It's still plenty of screen real estate, the battery is still amazing.
I did a complete review if you are interested in watching it,

The Note 9 is much bigger (wider) than the 6T. I know what you mean, as the 6T does feel more comfortable in the hand since it is a smaller device. The S10+ has slightly smaller side bezels, so it is marginally less physically wide than the 6T despite having a larger (wider) display.
The 6T has the longest aspect ratio (19:9) while the Note 9 has 18.5:9 and the S10+ has 19:9.

Looking only at the diagonal length is misleading owing to the differing aspect ratios. Pythagorean Theorem. This is why diagonal sizes are seemingly so much larger these days despite phones not necessarily becoming much larger. Bezel has been replaced with display with the same phone width, and phones have also started becoming slightly longer.
If you were to only consider the 16:9 portion of these displays, then here's a quick summary for comparison (+/- 0.01" for Rounding). Personally, I wouldn't get the S10 since it's a tad small for me.
S10: 5.34"
S10+: 5.63"
Note 9: 5.69"
OP6T: 5.49"
I don't really like the camera cut-out on the S10/S10+ since it makes the notification bar fairly gigantic. The wider cut-out on the S10+ won't make as much a difference as you might think as the actual placement is more important.

You can always adjust the DPI. I find the default to be way too large, so I do the opposite and reduce it on any device I use. You can also independently adjust the font size if you wish. Between those two settings, you should be able to get the right balance for yourself.

Redmi K20 (Mi 9T) VS Samsung A70

https://youtu.be/aJ7H2SN2VsA
If you watched the video you can clearly see that both phones have same brightness level yet the A70 screen looks much brighter and better than K20's screen which is dim and has ugly red tint. Samsung used a a very high quality amoled panel in the A70, the best I have seen in this price range. A70 also has bigger screen, bigger battery, and performance is great. It's downside is the ugly outdated back design and build materials. K20 has notchless display but look how thick the phone is. A70 is much thinner and sleek. I think the A70 is the winner.
I might be biased since I own the A70 :laugh: Still the superiority of A70's AMOLED screen is undeniable and it's the main reason why I choose Samsung phones over other brands.
Bottom line: Not all AMOLED screens are created equal! Chinese phones use cheaper lower quality amoleds.
What do you think? :fingers-crossed:
I think the back of the a70 is really nice and does every thing I want it too just a shame the back srat he's so easy
the mi 9t is 300€ in france or 350€ depends on deals.

Also loving this battery life... way better than s10+
So a70 or mi 9t
I still prefer Samsung a70 over mi 9t
Special regards the display
I have no problem with the back of the phone i'm using a case anyway or after a month i will find tiny scratches everywhere even if the back is metal
Im currently debating between mi 9t or a70.
Which phone has better camera and video quality.
Can someone give me a hand?
Xiaomi mi 9T is the better device to me and yes I have both.
K20 has its disadvantages....
No expandable storage capacity..

These are not Disadvantages
64gb or 128gb expandable storage is a personal preference.
Screen size is a personal preference screen on the a70 could be to big for some.
Battery is great on both back to screen smaller less battery consumption.
Disadvantage a70 sd675, glastic back that scratches easily, oh and one low speaker I have to crack it to the max most of the time.

Well, plastic back is actually preferable with larger phones because of the risk of accidental drop. And to be honest, a70 performs pretty good as well. And it is perfectly slim and anyone can hold this phone in his/her hand without problem. One hand usage is pretty awesome.
The speaker volume is good enough. But plug in a good mid tire headset, its amazingly good...

I did I went from pixel 2xl, to pixel 3axl, then op7. My pixel 2 was better than the 3a I thought. But I'm loving this op7. So far my favorite and I'm on Verizon
How could you compare the 2 XL with OP 7 ( Pro ) ?
What about the battery life ?
It seem to be not as good as the 2 XL one ?

Totally worth it,speed is faster and screen is larger and better,I love it.you should try it,bro
I upgraded from a 2XL. It was well worth the money. The display is miles ahead, I consistently try 5+ hrs of SOT after owning since a week after launch. Software experience has been A+. Only real gripe I've had with this phone is the size is kinda unwieldy. I've gotten over it though. Don't use camera much, so that is not something I can really comment on. Speakers are also better than my 2xl as far as quality goes IMO. No regrets here.
This is a great hardware and software upgrade! 7+Pro is my best DD for 2019! Cheers
Upgraded from 2XL.
The screen is miles ahead. Honestly, it's night and day. I didn't realise how terrible and "grainy" the pixel's screen was until I got this phone. The 1440p definitely makes a difference to clarity at this screen size, and the contrast, colours, black crush, viewing angle etc. Are just miles better.
The 90Hz is nice. It just makes everything feel a bit smoother. I could still go back to 60Hz quite easily, but in comparison it feels juddery.
The build quality of the OP7 Pro is really nice. The pixel had curved edges, but not really in a way that affected the actual screen space. The curve on the Pro is more dramatic, and that has meant occasional accidental touches for me when lying in bed and using it one handed without a case.
Speaking of one handed, don't expect much of that with this device out of the box. Surprisingly, the overall footprint is very similar to the pixel 2 XL, but the screen is obviously much larger. In particular, the length of the screen is an issue. With my Pixel, I could use the rear sensor to pull down the notification shade, or shimmy my hand a little bit to reach items higher up the screen. That's not an option here, so I've been using reachability cursor instead, which works pretty well, but it's a still a downside to the phone.
In terms of weight and feel in the hand, I actually prefer the OnePlus, though. I like the little bit of extra weight, and it's balanced really nicely in the hand. The curved back makes it really comfortable to hand in portrait, though the weight and size can make it more uncomfortable in landscape.
Onto the camera. One of my main reasons for buying the pixel, but I realised I didn't even take that many. The 7Pro is worse, no two ways about it. But is bad enough to be annoying? Not for me. After the most recent updates, camera consistency is improved, although it's not quite there in all scenarios. The 7Pro oversaturates images more, which I find annoying, but that can always be fixed with Gcam or editing. The difference really isn't enough to be a turn off for the average user, and the wide and zoom lenses are a nice addition for composition, even if they're softer than the main sensor.

You can swipe down anywhere on the screen to open your notification shade... Which is a way better feature by anybody's measure!

I actually disagree...you can do that, but you can only do it from the home screen, which makes it less useful to me
