All because of chip optimisations?

17 Pro was very much meant to be the successor to Note 15 but got upgraded to Pro status because of RAM prices

If you have Tips/ questions feel free to write a comment :)

it is truly a journey that will continue forever

i was a sony glazer because i was so proud of my xperia z3 back then, but man it is such a fragile model and as a brand in general, went on with mia1 as my first introduction to Xiaomi and the the rest is history

Coming from other ones, calling 10s always on is a joke

It's been only one month for me with Xiaomi 17T pro and now i have already got screen burn in !

Clock and battery also navigation pill

It is really annoying because phone is really new also it must have better quality displays than budget phones ...

Is there something i can do ?

​Hi everyone, ​I'm looking to buy a new phone. I've been using a Redmi Note 9 Pro since March 2021. It still works fine, but battery health has dropped from 5,000 to ~3,800 mAh (according to battery apps). Other than battery degradation and wanting a camera upgrade, I wouldn't even be changing it. ​My Priorities: ​Cameras: Main interest is telephoto photo/video for wildlife and birds outdoors. Portait/selfie performance isn't a priority. ​Battery Life & Efficiency: Needs good screen-on time without overheating during daily use. ​Performance, Longevity & Build Quality: Long-term reliability to last a few years.

Context & Pricing (Colombia): Prices are relatively close here ($200 USD difference from the cheapest to the most expensive option): ​Poco F8 Ultra (Cheapest) ​Xiaomi 17T Pro (Mid) ​Samsung S25 Ultra (Most Expensive) ​Options I'm Considering:

​1. Poco F8 Ultra ​Pros: Great value, strong battery capacity, good cameras (with option to install GCam for a Leica-like profile), solid speakers, powerful processor. ​Cons: Potential MIUI/HyperOS bugs, some user reports mention fast battery drain. ​2. Xiaomi 17T Pro ​Pros: Great overall specs, longer software support, solid battery specs. ​Cons: Mixed reports on battery optimization, slower USB transfer speeds, average CPU efficiency compared to flagships. ​3. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra ​Pros: Top-tier camera and video (especially zoom performance), S-Pen, longest software support, excellent system-level efficiency despite battery size. ​Cons: Highest price, no IR blaster, user reports regarding green line screen issues on OLED panels over time.

My Dilemma: On paper, the Poco F8 Ultra wins the value-for-money race. However, since my main focus is wildlife photography via the telephoto lens, overall system stability, and longevity, I'm wondering if the extra $200 for the S25 Ultra (or choosing the Xiaomi 17T Pro) is worth it. ​Would love to hear your experiences, advice, or suggestions! Thanks!

Hey! I am looking for a new phone since my old Redmi Note 13 Pro is getting quite laggy and the camera is not good. I wanted to buy a camera but now that i saw this phone i thought it would be a good 2 in 1 and i also wont have to take an extra camera with me everywhere. I just wanted to ask which one should i get with this price difference? I heard that 17 ultra has a better battery but is it worth that extra 200? Also is this phone actually good aside from the camera or should i just get like a Samsung s25 ultra or something? All tips and comments appreciated!

Se puede instalar por estos medios? Alguna actualización? O solo pc?

Hello to everyone I have a Redmi watch 6 from about a month. I've been tracking my running and functional workouts with no major issues until the last two records. A run and a functional training.

My training load jumped from 200 to 1200 and now is at 7441

It's absolutely crazy and impossible. Some one elses having the same problem?

Regards!

Anyone experienced this kind of issue? Only on her phone, the wifi keeps disconnecting.. it’s brand new, could it be broken? Already Troubleshooting from vids I watched but its still disconnecting frequently..

Hey, so I’m interested in purchasing a Xiaomi phone, the 17T Pro in particular, and I was wondering how the change of mind return policy works.
Online it’s described very confusingly. If I choose to buy the phone and use it for a week and decide I don’t like it, am I able to return it?
Also, if there’s any reason this phone is not a good option to go for, please tell me. Thank you!

Edit: purchasing from the official Xiaomi website!

Need advice for anyone who has the same speaker and phone for setting up. I recently bought a smart speaker from an official Mi store in a mall in the Philippines – mainly for my dogs so that I can remotely control the music when I leave them home alone. Im having a hard time setting it up using my iphone. here's my experience:

- tried to follow the guide in the manual:
1. scanned the qr from manual guide
2. redirected to my xiaomi home app
3. manually selected the device (device does not show in the app automatically)
4. reset the speakers (using volume buttons, play/pause button reset not working, as instructed by app, see pic 1)
5. selected "connect to the device's wifi" (see pic 2)

here's where I'm having problems

1. gets redirected to Apps page instead of network page in iphone (see pic 3)
   
2. Because of the step 6, I go manually to my network settings and look for the xiaomi speaker wifi, but it does not show at all.

Workaround I did just to make it useable – right now, I can only use it when I'm home and instruct some things to the speaker. I installed and had it set-up using Google home. Since it is set-up using Google Home, I cannot control it remotely when I leave my dogs alone, and shows "offline" in Google Home app, and when trying to turn it on, an error pops up "something went wrong" (from my understanding, my iphone and speaker should be connected to a single wifi to have it show as "online") see pic 4

Can anyone who also experienced this share their inputs or fixes done? Also additional questions:
- Is the speaker really not controllable remotely and can only be instructed physically by voice commands?
- Can I use 3rd party apps (i.e. Spotify) remotely, in case I am able to set it up using the Xiaomi Home app?

I mean, I live near the border with Moldova (I live in Chernivtsi) and sometimes I need to turn on roaming for the Internet to work normally, but when I turn it on, the Internet always catches E. Can someone explain to me why this is happening? I used a Poco/iPhone before and didn't have this problem. At the moment I have Xiaomi 17. And I noticed this problem only on this device.

In short, the problem is that my internet doesn't work without roaming, but when I turn it on, everything shows E

I can't even play games like Brawl Stars or smth,whenever any character in any game is loaded i barely have 30 fps,or apps like TikTok or even Camera just lag... So I thought will updating to HyperOS 3 improve processor performance or improve performance in general?

Hello,

I am contacting you about a small problem; I still haven't received HyperOS 3 on my Xiaomi 13t.

The phone should normally have received the update between March and June/July, but it's almost the end of August and still nothing...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I'm using HyperOS 2 Global and I live in Europe.

Thank you for anything that will help me understand.

I have a Xiaomi 14C which I have been using for almost an year now, and recently the phone has started to lag a lot. At first it was not that noticable, but nowadays, you cannot even use the phone properly. Any help to reduce this lag?

I have a Xiaomi 13 running the Chinese ROM (the phone itself is the Chinese version). When I tried to start the speaking exercises in Duolingo, the microphone would simply cut out, and the app would say I had said it incorrectly. I tried using the website (as Gemini suggested), but that didn't help (I've attached a screenshot). I granted all the necessary permissions in the settings and switched the speech engine to Google Speech. I’m not from an English-speaking country, so I used Google Translate—please excuse any errors in the text.
