They are both £199 at the moment. I know the note 9 pro is 128gb and the Mi 10T lite is 64 but thats not a deal breaker for me.
Just cant decide

Can't comment on the Note 9 Pro but I've been using a Mi 10 T Lite , UK version ,for the last couple of weeks (128GB Version) .
I really like it , but a couple of things to note -
It's a fairly hefty phone ,about the same size as the Note 9 Pro (last phone was a Xiaomi A2)
There are ads built in but they are easy enough to turn off .
Has Stereo speakers and a headphone socket , box says Hi Res audio supported .
Has 5G
(2 sim slots , but one can be used for a sim card or Micro SD card , also only support for one 5G sim at the moment , support for dual 5G sims is planned - according to the user guide) Haven't tried 5G , don't live in a Vodafone covered area , not sure if I need a new sim either .
120Hz screen , I thought this was a gimmick , but after using it for the last couple of weeks i switched back to 60 Hz , and it was instantly jarring on my eyes while scrolling / browsing web pages etc .
UK version comes with a proper 3 pin fast charger .
Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.
The more I read about the 2 phones, the more I think the Mi 10T lite is a better choice.
Not worried about the ads because I will be flashing an aftermarket ROM when some become available.
How is the battery life for you?0 -

How is the battery life for you?
Can't comment on custom ROMs , I'm leaving mine stock.
Don't want to mess with the bootloader and lose access to my banking app and Google Pay.
Battery life is brilliant, lasts a couple of days with listening to music (local and streamed) with headphones (there is an FM radio but I haven't tried it yet), browsing , a few calls , messaging and using news apps .
Your usage might be different
Some days I didn't even bother plugging it in at nighttime.
Charging from 50 to 100% only takes about half an hour.
Battery management in MIUI seems to be aggressive .
One or two widgets didn't want to update until I changed the app/ battery settings for them individually .
A friend I work with likes mine so much he's going to order one for himself
Any other questions just ask 0 -

OK you've convinced me, the Mi 10T lite it is
On a side note: unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom ROM doesnt mean you wont be able to use banking apps or google pay
You just need to flash Magisk and add your banking apps to Magisk Hide, then you will pass safety net and can use your banking apps with no issues
Im currently typing this on a Mi 8, rooted and flashed with Lineage OS and have 3 banking apps on the phone that I use with no issues but each to their own.
I love Xiaomi phones but dont like the bloatware that comes with them.
Thanks for helping me to make my decision 0 -

Cool , thanks for the info .
What I did when I got my Mi 10T Lite was -
Charge and power on.
Connect to WiFi
Let phone get the latest update
Factory reset (this removes some crappy games that were preinstalled )
Disable all the ads
Uninstall Facebook and other apps
Then set up as normal 0 -
