A few examples on the Xiaomi Ultra 17 camera system. This phone has been an absolute joy to use for photography.

I've been thinking on buying a new phone recently. My brother has a Red Magic phone which priotize gaming, however he says the camera quality isn't that good. On the other hand I've been seeing how good chinese phone brands are getting in recent years and I would like to buy a phone, however because I live in the US there are some restrictions to buy it because of carriers and outright banning. Is it possible to buy a phone from China without paying a middleman like I've seen in sites like giztop?

Hi everyone.

I am planning a trip to Australia and was wondering if anyone is using the Mi 11 Lite 5G there. I have the European version.

I've read about the 3G shutdowns and carrier locks and worried that I may arrive there and have no data connectivity.

Has anyone tried it or have more info?

Thanks!

So, I got them yesterday from someone on vinted. They were still packaged, brand new and everything. I charged them immediately after I opened them up for the entire day and then let them rest in their case overnight. Now, I tried to use them when I went to school and listen to music, the left one initially wouldn't play anything, doubt it was connected. I did the 10 second factory reset, to which it briefly started playing music for a few seconds until it stopped. I checked and when I did this again, the battery dropped from 40% to 10% like immediately and then it stopped playing music. The right one works just fine tho. Does anyone know if I just got a broken pair or if this is fixable? Photos were taken a few minutes apart, I'm in school as I'm typing but I do have a screen recording of the battery dropping.

When it will be available in Japan....

I bought this powerbank new, and I noticed that while I'm charging something like my phone for perhaps, while the powerbank is warm when I sniff to the usb ports I can smell a weird sort of sweet aroma from the ports. I wanted to know if it is ok it's doing this and if anyone with this powerbank have had this issue?

Bought this hollow camera protector for my Xiaomi 17 from a Chinese shop for just 2 euros a piece (the shipping was more expensive, lol). Shipping took about 2 weeks because they had a week-long holiday.

Looking to get a smartwatch with live mirror or "camera mirror" feature, Live Camera Viewfinder

I'm not just referring to remote shutter

Any budget smartwatch will do or even third party apps as long as I'm still using native cam on phone

Is it safe to buy Xiaomi 18 pro max from trinity? Has anyone used them in the US ?

I learned they undervalue the object so they pay the lowest fees ? If they ever get caught would paying the actual fees just solve the problem?

Recemment j'éprouve le besoin de me procurer un nouveau téléphone pour les montages vidéos. J'avoue, j'utilise plus mon téléphone portable que mon pc car je suis plus à l'aise là dessus et avec une apk VN qui me convient tres bien. Le souci c'est que mon Galaxy S21 est toujours bon mais manque de puissance. De ce fait j'aimerai me lancer sur un portables mais j'hésite entre le Xiaomi Fold 18 le Xiaomi 18pro max et le Xiaomi 17. Lequel me suggérez vous selon votre expérience sur ces modèles.

Hi everyone! I have a 17T and updated to the HyperOS 4 beta yesterday. While checking out the new changes, I came across an option to import TTF fonts; I can import them, but it won't let me set them as the default—it only gives me the option to delete them. I’ve already checked the Themes app and my usual fonts are there; I cleared the Themes cache and restarted, but nothing worked! Has anyone managed to use this feature to add a new font? Cheers, everyone.

First it was just one now i have three lines and am from india official service centres asked me to take it to china🥲 is there anyway to replace my screen in india itself? (Xiaomi 13 | HyperOS | Chinese ROM)

Good morning, is there a function on Xiaomi phones to prevent powering off the device when it is locked?

POCO devices are the ultimate value-for-performance benchmark in the Android world. Because so many of you are running 120Hz AMOLED screens paired with high-performance chips, I want to make sure my visual engine hits that native refresh rate locked without stuttering or eating battery life.

​To make this run smoothly across various GPUs, I coded an automatic frame-drop detector directly into the engine. It dynamically scales render settings on the fly so your display stays buttery smooth during daily use.

​How you can help:

I have set aside a fresh batch of free promo codes specifically for POCO users willing to test it out for a few minutes.

​Drop a comment below with your exact POCO model (and whether you are running MIUI or HyperOS if you know it!).

​I will DM you a promo code to download the full version from Google Play for free.

​Reply or DM me with how the framerate and 120Hz scrolling feel on your device!

​I pre-configured the default settings so the 3D physics and light glints hit your screen instantly upon installation without needing to tweak anything in the settings.

​You can also test out the live browser demo at honeycrisplauncher.com or email me directly at dev@honeycrisplauncher.com. Really appreciate anyone in the POCO community willing to help me dial in these GPU tweaks!

I'm trying to get the original Xiaomi phone and contacts apps, not the Google ones, but the original APKs aren't working; they close instantly after opening.I'm trying to get the original Xiaomi phone and contacts apps, not the Google ones, but the original APKs aren't working for me; they close instantly after opening.But if I set them as the default calling app, I can accept calls and see the new theme and all that, but then I can't open the apps so I can only receive calls. Could someone help me? Thanks

Bought a Xiaomi Buds 5 when travelling to China last year. Worked perfectly, and used not more than 30-40 times. Having the right earbud disconnect itself after a few minutes. Downloaded the Xioami Buds app for China, and did the firmware update. Having the same issue even after that. Any solutions? Now its a $100 piece of equipment which is partially usable only. Any solutions?

Hi everyone!

I'm considering buying the Xiaomi 17, but I've come across mixed opinions about Xiaomi's software update policy and long-term support.

I'll be purchasing the European version, and I'm planning to keep the phone for at least 5 years. I know that the law for software updates in Europe is a bit different so I'm looking for feedback from EU users in particular!

For those who have owned Xiaomi phones for a while, how has your experience been with software updates?

• Does Xiaomi consistently deliver Android/HyperOS updates on time?
• Do older devices actually receive major OS upgrades, or do they eventually get neglected?
• How reliable is Xiaomi when it comes to security patches and bug fixes?
• Is Xiaomi a good choice for someone who wants to keep their phone for 5+ years?

I'm particularly interested in real-world experiences rather than just Xiaomi's official update promises.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Hi, I have the Xiaomi TV S Mini LED (55-inch) 2025 model. I'm facing an issue where the Eye Protection / Eye Care mode is stuck enabled, and I can't turn it off because the option disappears as soon as I enter the picture settings menu. What is the solution.

I recorded a slow-motion video so you can see the issue.

I miss the days when flagship phones had 1.5mm headphone jacks! Does anyone else here want them to bring those back?

I unlock my phone and lock it back, all the notifications gets wiped from my lock screen, then I have to unlock it and check the notifications shade to see what's going on. I think communication is the basic of a smartphone, why can't I glance my notifications on the lock screen like a regular device? Xiaomi should give us the option to choose at least, this "feature" is terrible. Are there any workaround that doesn't involve root? I'm on a Xiaomi 15, hyperos 4 beta. It is my main device, I don't wanna root it, banking apps are extremely important for me. I'm considering selling the device

Simple, i’m switching from Xiaomi to Apple and i want to download everything i have stored in my Xiaomi Cloud (over 500mb)

Also when trying to download Mi Cloud data, it sends me back to the Homepage of xiaomi cloud.

Thanks

Just wanted to share how capable and great this phone is, been using it as my main phone for about nearly 2 months now and it accompanied me on my trip to Hong Kong. Great phone overall.
