    Phones are released all the time. Currently you're not getting the same high end specs and features elsewhere for a similar price.

    Folks, for anyone that has bought the Mi 9T, just wondering what screen protector you went with.

    Fingerprint reader won't work if you have a screen protector FYI.

    My wife uses a tempered glass screen protector on the 9t and the fingerprint reader works perfectly..

    I'd rather not use one but find these new phones scratch easily.(based on my OnePlus 6t experience)

    tedpan how would you compare the 9T pro to your oneplus 6T ?.

    The look and quality is very similar. The cam is better on the 9T, much faster too. Battery seems comparable with up to 2 days with standard use. I love the Oxygen OS on the OP6T, but it's not worth the extra you pay for a OnePlus in my opinion. Other than what I've mentioned I find them surprisingly similar. I'll definitely move to Xiaomi when I decide to replace the 6T.(the SD 845 processor is still a beast, so it'll be a while!)

    Hi guys,

    Had a few questions for people who bought the 9T Pro.

    Currently have a Samsung Note 8, I got the Gomo Sim and I'm thinking of a dual sim phone which I know the 9T Pro is but how is the quality of the camera and how would it compare to a 2 year old Note 8? I really like my Note 8 and have no reason to change other than needing a second sim so I'm tossing up the idea of buying this or else a Note 10+ but that's double the price.

    Main thing I'd be interested in is longevity of the device - will it last me 2 to 3 years minimum? And how is the camera? Would the camera be on par with some of the current flagships out there or will it struggle?

    Thanks in advance!

    It's good in most situations, but the note 8 has a fantastic camera, you maybe disappointed.

    Camera is good, just replace it with the google camera as shown in this thread earlier. https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/reviews/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-review#targetText=Xiaomi%20Mi%209T%20Pro%20camera,3%20%E2%80%9Csensor%20and%201.12%C2%B5m%20pixels.

    Also Xiaomi has a good track record of updating devices and should last you easily two years. My Note 4X would still be in use if not stolen.

    I'm actually already a bit disappointed with the Note 8 camera when I compared it to my old work phone XS Max :/ Hmm, maybe I'll go down the Note 10+ route so....

    Have you got a tracking number? I ordered the 9T pro 10 days ago and the latest email I got says it's "dispatching soon", whatever that means.


    Based on feedback from this thread and others I'm expecting to wait about 3 weeks.

    Use Honorbuy if you want to pay significantly more money for the same phone :) Or in my case they didn't have the model I wanted.

    In my case it was 17 euro more expensive (MI 9T) but I got a tracking number the same day and DHL delivery 1 full business day later.

    that 17 euro would easily be eaten up in the time you spent tracking your eglobal parcel for weeks.

    Yeah would have prefered to pay the bit extra and gotten it off of honorbuy at this stage. I order it on eglabal on the 7th and I had to get in touch with them for them to tell me that it was out of stock....



    Altough as I say that I've just jumped onto skynet world-wide tracking and it has arrived from Honk Kong to London so it might be here sometime soon.

    Don't think any come with a UK plug, just an EU one with an adapter. Honorbuy are reliable enough, bit dearer though.

    Wouldn't be buying at that price myself (I got the non Pro) but OP asked for reliable and thats about as reliable as you will get and works out around the same price as honorbuy after you add on their €23 shipping cost.

    9T (not Pro) is working out at €294 from Honorbuy with shipping. It's €279 with shipping from the amazon.es link quoted in a previous post. So it's looking like amazon.es is the best option for the non-pro version?

    Mine arrived in London an hour ago. How long were you waiting from when it said it was in London?


    Just got stung with customs on another phone from gearbest (Mi A3) :mad:
