    They're all the same , if yours is working fine then treat your woman to a brand new phone.
    ...... Unless it's the type of relationship where one partner has to do all the installing, connecting to WiFi, porting data across....

    Mate 20 pro screen is in bits, worth the upgrade? Or is it a downgrade?

    Could you get a screen replacement? there's Celtic repairs or Maxburns .

    From my experience screens on Xiaomi were potato unless they've changed. Get one of those fold over covers.

    Maybe buy it for her and give it to her just before you head off for a long weekend away... Where there's no WiFi.

    How did you manage to purchase from the Xiaomi UK site? I've tried numerous times but it won't accept my Irish Bank cards. Do you have a UK bank card?

    Phone arrived yesterday.

    nice sise and feel.

    Bloatware is annoying. There is a cleaner app and security app and a few others that i really want to get rid of

    Not sure the battery is as good as i thought it would be.

    the MiUI is annoying so changed to POCO launcher which doesnt have the google feed so switched back to the MIUI.

    havent tried the camera,

    fingerprint unlock is deadly

    over all i like it but not sure what I was expecting coming from a 4 year old Moto, but a bit underwhelmed

    If you're not happy with it, amazon have a great return policy!

    I have it 3 days now and the battery is very good , I like the screen and camera. The max volume is poor tho, that would be my only issue.

    You can change the maximum volume by going in to "Developer options".
    Some eu regulations on volume that has been preset.

    Nothing wrong with it. And I need a phone!

    I guess it's a case of "through a chink too wide there comes no wonder"

    go to about phone and tap miui version 7 times to enable dev options.

    Then the dev options are under settings - additional settings - down the end - Developer Options

    Not sure what setting relates to Max Vol though??

    My huawei mate 20 pro screen was cracked and in a bad way so I bought this phone last week to give it a go. It arrived on Tuesday and I am more than happy with it, the battery is lasting me about 40 hours, the phone is fast and so far I have had no issues, charges fully in just over an hour.

    I see it's now down to £206 on Amazon.

    I bought a Note 8 from Amazon Spain. Good price especially with 48 hour delivery, warranty & no customs issues. I chose the 8 over the 8T & Pro because I need a notification light - yes really :)

    Seems to be an excellent phone. My old Note 5 is three years old & still perfect.

    The 9 also has a notification light/led located on top in the earpiece although it's very small and just plain white

    Mine works fine for charging but I can't get it to work for notifications - I am sure that I have everything turned on.

    If you go into settings and search for LED, make sure both are ticked

    Yes they are. I got it working by using a third party app
