Cool.

No issue regarding February month for our phone but before that if we get Official Camera2 api including Asus zen max pro m2 camera UI/Ux in our M1.
Battery drain issue, etc then it will worth wait.

That ain't worth time..... Asus say major oems like Samsung is giving pie to their flagship phone in 2019 (S9/S9+)
But the truth is they have a custom skin they are working on a fully redesigned UI....and that's what taking it such long...
We are stock android a very much closer version to what Google source codes releases.....
We have to stand on this guy's....it's. Such a lame excuse saying Samsung providing it in 2019...

Huawei Releases EMUI 8.1 Update for Mate 10 & Mate 10 Pro, Big Upgrades to Camera

Huawei Releases EMUI 8.1 Update for Mate 10 & Mate 10 Pro, Big Upgrades to Camera
Ttoday Huawei has officially started EMUI 8.1.0.321 update for the Mate 10/Mate 10 Pro device. It is also reported that the Mate 10 will get GPU Turbo Technology probably by next month.
The new EMUI 8.1 system update will bring new features to the Mate 10 series smartphone like 960fps super slow motion videos capability, AI photography master, 3D portrait light effect, smart gallery and many other practical features. The AI photography will increases the number of scene recognition modes from 13 categories to 19 categories and total scene/o recognition to over 500, through this update the cameras of Mate 10 series smartphone can now identify more scenes and objects. The users of the Mate 10 can update EMUI 8.1 by heading to the Huawei Club app and register as an early adopter under Member Services, the update will then be pushed out to your device when registration is done.
Recall last October, Huawei has launched the Mate 10 series smartphone in China, at that time it was running on EMUI 8.0 system based on Android 8.0 . In March this year, Huawei added face recognition to the Mate 10 series through an update and in May these smartphones received another update that brings super night scene mode to make its night shooting ability significantly better. In June, Huawei’s Mate 10 series was the first to implement the GPU Turbo technology upgrade which improves its graphics computing efficiency by 60% and reduced the power consumption by 30%.

Same model as you and the only updates I got since buying the Mate 10 (secondhand and only a few days ago) are face unlock and a security patch. I have night shot mode but I doubt it's the one you're talking about.

You can't. Probably a reason why no one can find it in the app gallery or play store. I guess it's a Chinese app for the Chinese ROM. And only Chinese can get the beta/testing

Worth getting now or wait for the Mi A3?

Is the phone worth getting now or should i wait for the next gen? It is probably just a half year.

If you can wait, I would recomend it. Too many problems.
To be honest, my device doesn't have 90% of the bugs reported in these forums. I probably have one of the newer stocks of the product. The only bug that i come across on a daily basis is the unstable face unlock. Have no over heating issues, stellar performance, manageable battery life (gotta be honest, not its strong point), fantastic camera (raw with gcam), super easy to mod
I'm totally in love with this phone. Hasn't let me down in any way. But yeah, if you're able to wait for the Mi A3 then that would be better. But if you want something now, this device is worth the money. If android one isn't your prime focus then check out the redmi 7
If you want nice custom ROMs buy Mi A2, because you must wait a lot of time after Mi A3 released for TWRP and etc ...!!
I have mi a1 and mi a2, so far both phones had zero issues whatsoever, none of the bugs reported here. To be fair I'd go for the mi a2 it is a great phone, and I love it.

Too many bugs you expireanced your self, or to many bugs yeah heard some one that heard some one that had a friend who had another friend who possibly had the phone that might have had or might have had not any bugs?
I don't have any issue with my Mi A2, I am using stock Pie, not unlocked, not rooted. . . everything is working normal, just notification led is laggy and laggy animations when live wallpapers applied, but better buy Mi A3 xD
mi a3 is probly coming just in the autumn this year, so no probably not worth the wait. if you want a xiaomi with android one the a2 is your best bet. like others said, if you want a miui xiaomi you can find better options at the same price (poco f1, redmi notes), if you're willing to spend more look also at the nokias with android one.
I really like this phone and have zero issues with it. waiting will take 6+ months
remember that the problems reported here are specially amplified when compared with how many units xiaomi sold, and really small for all the leechers inthis forum
however, I also have the a2-nokia-equivalent, the nokia 7 plus. if you can afford the difference go for it. it has camera2api and volte enabled by default. it also has widevide l1 codec and better build quality. the update to the pie also arrived a lot faster.

The Support and Development community for this device has been superb. The members here on XDA have really gone all out to make up for Xiaomi's shortcomings.
So if you can get one relatively inexpensive, go for it.
If you are willing, have patience and know how to deal with custom roms - yeah, it's a gr8 device with some issues (I don't like the vibration motor, lol)
If you want to buy it just for the official "very vell supported" android one experience - forget it... and in my opinion - forget about MI3. Buy Pixel or at least Nokia.
Now I'm rocking AOSP Extended ROM + Gcam + Lawnchair V2 Alpha + QuickSwitch Magisk Module. And device feels very smooth.
Also we just got Ressurection Remix 7.0, so I'm keeping an eye on it. ROM support is awesome here, and it keeps coming.
But... on custom ROM I haven't found a way to get a stable camera yet...
I used MI Cam, Gcam - and they have bugs... None of them support 60 FPS + EIS recording.
This is nr. 1 thing that's missing for me right now... normal bugless camera.
So yeah... it depends dude...
On thursday my Redmi 3s stopped working, i just could not power it on, so i have decided to buy a new phone, i was considering either Mi A2 or ASUS Max pro M1. This one won because better camera and Android one. I am planning to stay in stock ROM at least for a year because of the warranty, i guess this is gonna be a huge difference to previous Havoc OS.

it's an easier switch compared to say... miui to android one.
i've switched to the a2 from a mido with official lineage and while i missed some things i have to say it was a pretty easy adjustment. and stock is stock. it just works.

Here are my 2 rupees :laugh: and a bit of a rant which I hope clears your doubts:
I used A1 and currently using A2 with buyer's remorse (should have bought Nokia). I got both these devices for the clean Android experience and it is not turning out to be the case. A2 now has MIUI like "about phone" setting at the top in settings. There is no clear rules on how Google decides which phone will become an Android One phone. I am starting to think that this Android one project is just for the name sake, I don't see any google's direct involvement in this project, we can argue that google makes the builds and vendors just add their features but again doesn't every other manufacturer does that like Samsung and LG, they take the AOSP builds and tweak them as per their requirements (correct me if I am wrong). Monthly security patches are mandatory by google but not every manufacturer follows it. To sum it up Android One is no longer that essential or a distinctive "feature", it is a package that gives you monthly security updates and new version upgrades.
This "A" series now seems to be an upper mid-range or lower high-end one and with A2's price and chipset, it is clear that Xiaomi is starting to charge a bit of a premium (cameras are really average), so why not also wait for Google's new Pixel lite? The price will be higher but you will have developers support like anything else. A2 doesn't even have an official twrp and the developer support seems scarce to say the least. On that note, if you want custom ROM support, wait a few months after the launch, if lot of people buy it then developers will support it, A2 got shadowed by Poco (Xiaomi gave F1s to developers for free to develop ROMs for it.). A1's development got gradually better over time because it didn't had any incident like that.
The current problems with A2: Slow emmc, No camera2api support (Even nokia's, cheaper than A2, 6.1 plus has it), mono audio recording, no arcore, low headphone volume like really low, Xiaomi's freedom of changing UI interface (Android One's ambiguity), average cameras, proximity sensor, smaller battery.
If every problem is fixed in A3 i'll also buy it, heck even if they kept the same cameras and enabled cam2 api it'll be enough to give me freedom to use other camera apps like google's tweaked camera or manual camera for better utilization of camera. If they fix everything I'll also get A3 if they don't i'll look for other options and certainly not buy A2 right now

it's not just half year, realistically you can probly find the a3 for sale at a decent price only in autumn. a1 launched in september 2017, a2 launched late summer, they both had normal pricing and availability just in late late autumn more like holiday season. as others pointed out, the a2-s worse nightmare was nokia and the poco f1. chances are a3 will face the same fierce competition in the form of the future f2 and whatever nokia has to say.

im asking that for my Deliberation - which phone to buy - ultra 21 or mi 11 pro
Ultra 21 as Mi 11 has default hard coded Google dialer which is ugly and not very user friendly, a total deal breaker for me.
But if you have patience to go with 1) boot locker unblocking 2) Change recovery 3) Download and instal EU Rom 4) Restore your apps and data then you can choose Mi 11.

Hmmm, isnt it Samsung Dialer on the S21U ?...well, anyhow, you can change the default dialer (I'm using True Phone for some time now)...
I am not sure about usefulness of samsung dialer or true dialer but missing Miui dialer a lot.
xiaomi is useless at updates, flagships get a bit better treatment but montly patches, no never.
they couldnt deliver security patches even on android one devices. they are/were always late, and they even skiped a few months.
the only way to get a decent rom is with unlock/customs.
so , maybe oneplus 9 pro will do better jobe in all aspects including updates?
Updates are way overrated. They can and do break phones.
The 21U has a big price tag and no SD card slot.
Running Android 11 and that OS is less than stellar. I'm not impressed.
There's also owners experiencing the display dying, just goes black. Their are a couple XDA members that had it happen.
A used Note 10+/Pie* or a Note 20U/Q* are better phones in my opinion. It will be the next major release that holds any hope and that maybe influenced by the chipset availability or lack of.
I'm seriously considering buying another 10+, well built, fast, stable and a lot less issues with hardware and the bloody OS. It's a solid performer with a drop dead gorgeous square corner display. Running at 60hz but no tint or brightness issues; colors and gamma are excellent.
*Snapdragon variant, if you want to root maybe not a good choice, otherwise the best chipset

I have had Xiaomi Mi 11 ultra for more than 3 weeks now. It is my first Xiaomi device ever, so I can't comment on it's update frequency or quality. However, I have had quite a long experience with Samsung flagship smartphones since 2010. Of late Samsung has really improved their software update frequency and quality.
I have S21 ultra 16/512 GB sitting iny drawer for past 3 weeks as I wanted to give Mi 11 ultra a try for its camera.
My observations:
1. Camera - Still and Videos - Mi 11 ultra is better overall. S21 ultra is not bad at all though, with very consistent output in all conditions.
2. Display - S21 ultra has slight edge as it seems a notch brighter under sunlight. Quality wise I would say both are neck to neck.
3. Battery - Mi 11 ultra seems to have better battery backup (with similar settings), especially the standby drain with 4G data on all the time. Also, the charging is much faster on Mi 11 ultra.
4. Design & Build quality - Personal preference. Tie IMO. Xiaomi has really made a premium flagship this time. I mean the Mi 11 ultra doesn't even have any percievable panel gaps like S21 ultra!
5. Audio - Mi 11 ultra has better sounding stereo speakers IMO (better lows). Sound via galaxy buds live is similar on both.
6. Performance - Snapdragon 888 powered Mi 11 ultra is better than Exynos S21 ultra for gaming and media editing apps.
7. UI - Samsung's one UI is better IMO with lesser hard-coded junk (at least you don't need a third party app to disable Google apps on Samsung)! I might have a bias here, as I'm used to Samsung UI for years.
8. Extra features - S21 ultra has S pen support. Mi 11 ultra has IR blaster, Heart rate sensor and a 55W charger included. Also, the option for higher storage (512 GB) is there in S21 ultra, if you want.
Conclusion - I'm honestly blown away with the quality Xiaomi is offering for the price of 70k INR! I honestly bought it to break Samsung monotony in my smartphone upgrades, and I think I will keep it untill Samsung lures me back with something better in future.
P.S - OnePlus 9 pro is not in the same league as the the other two IMO!
well yes, xiaomi does make good hardware. software not so much.
if you check out their own c.mi.com forums, there are countless users complaining, they just dont care. there's 0 trnsparency about which devices are maintained and which they've abandoned, you dont know when you buy one how long they'll "support" it. it's like they have no interest in support. a lot of the guides and fixes end up being found and shared by end users. the few bug they do achnowlwdge are just being trown around between google's fault, qualcomm's fault, and we need more data, we released a fix maybe it will work... it woukd be funny if it wouldnt be about actual problems. they have a habbit of breaking ota updates on stock phones, simply by missmatching release targets. yes, im not kidding. they invented the concept of stable beta releases. where they beta test updates on random users. honestly where with oems you want them to release a patch, with xiaomi you wonder if you should risk installing it in case they found some new and improved way to break your phone.
funny thing is a lot of devices get a lot more fixed on their custom roms. countless devices that they reported nonono we cannot upgrade it to android 10, the hardware is not compatible. guess what the custom roms did it the next day.
at least for now they let users unlock their bootloaders (even if the process is broken af) and lately they provide kernel source codes, even if they always forget to keep them up to date.
it is what it is, ive learnt my lessons the hard way, only getting their phones after i see custom roms and treat them as hardware vendors.

Don't count on that. You'll get one year of monthly security patches, one or two somewhat big updates and the next Android 12. Android 13 is questionable. I had the similar experience with my Oneplus 7T Pro - got only mothly security updates. It was supposed to get Adroid 12, but last i heard that it may never happen. And it got updated to Android 11 try to guess when - the day before the launch of Oneplus 9 end of march 2021 - three months after everyone else updated their flagships and half of midrangers to Android 11. Forget the promise about 3 years of software updates - 18 months is the top nowadays with Oneplus. And seeing how they are focused on their Nord devices that might be their last flagship. There's more money in midrangers.

Question MIC Quality Comparison [Video Proof]

MIC Quality is really horrible. Finally found a direct comparison, side by side in a single video. Start watching from 5:34 mins. Compared to Iqoo.

Funny but it's the truth sadly.
Giving realme promised 4 years of updates for the flagship series and it's still on February update you can see where this is going.

You are right. Its a brand new phone. Now itself, they are not providing security patch update. 4 years seems like a prank from them. I was waiting for Xiaomi 12X. But no announcement from the brand, of when it will come. So started looking into these two, GT 2 and Neo 3. Guess i ll go with Neo 3 for now. Better screen and better mic quality.
Haha I just read your comment and got a notification of an update.
Seems like they heard me.
But looks like it's still Feb patch.
A.16
Security
● Integrates the February 2022 Android security patch.
Network
● Fixes some network problems.
System
● Fixes some known issues to improve system stability.
I wish they fixed the screen brightness so it doesn't turn all the way down making too dark.
And the eye Confort mode only activates when you push the notification bar down, same to deactivate.
Hopefully the neo 3 is a better model although it shouldn't be since the GT series is the flagship.
But why you say the screen is better? Is it not the same Samsung amoled e4 panel?

Nice! Could you please check the Mic Quality after the Update!!?? Talking about display, its cheaper E4 amoled. There are multiple qualities in E4 amoled. Colour accuracy is not that good in the Realme. They have used same GT NEO 2 screen in this. You can see their specs too. No mention of JNCD.
Neo 3 has Tianma screen with JNCD around 0.5. GT 2 Pro has samsung screen with JNCD around 0.6.
Also talking about Launch, GT 2 was silently launched. Neo 3 Launch has been hyped up more than GT 2 Pro!! Multiple promotional videos made on GT Neo 3!
Why the hell have they not given April Security Patch in the latest update!? This is just too much. Its a new device. So much ignorance from now only.
Hmm, I see.
Well I just did a quick test and it sounds as sh** as before or even worse atleast in video recording.
Since I rarely record video on the phone I just tried one time when I got it but didn't think it was this bad holy sh**.
I wish it showed the microphone model used on those device info apps to see if its the same as on GT 2 pro and neo 2.
Yeah it's weird and they say integrated Feb security patch as if before it was January or something like that. It's been Feb patch since the launch of the phone.

Neo 2 has better mic. This ****ty mic issue is happening only in GT 2 and GT 2 Pro. Hopefully, atleast your calls are clear. Some were saying even calls are little muffled. The other person will not be hearing your voice clearly itseems, compared to when called by other phones.

You know what? Neo 3 has got 3 updates within April itself in China. 3 freaking updates!

Read the changelogs. They have been doing meaningful bug fixes and enhancements.
I don't know what type of 4D chess strategy is Realme thinking.
Wow I'm astonished. That's what I call good software support, that's what I would hope to get for paying such money for a phone.
Seems like we in Europe are treated as 2nd class customers.
It's gonna be my first and last realme.
About the voice quality in calls no one complained and to be honest even an iPhone 13 pro max sounds muffled.

See the changelogs itself, attracts me to buy Neo 3. Hopefully Realme fixes the issues on GT 2 also.
Yes I read it.
But that's on China judging from the support for GT 2 series I think neo 3 is gonna get the same treatment on Europe.
Unless you import it of course .

I don't think so. I do agree that China version and Global version are different. But if they have put efforts to fix bugs in China rom, they can easily migrate that patch to global rom too. I have seen this happening for Xiaomi devices. Global gets same patches after a couple of months.
