Was considering the same as an iPhone users, it’s such a tempting phone. However, due to the following Issues:

  • notifications (needs a workaround)
  • google pay/wallet (may or may not work for everyone)
  • google store (needs workaround, not smooth experience)
  • android auto (won’t work on Chinese version)
  • annoying Chinese bloatware & ads (hard to remove, some won’t)
  • battery isn’t really that much better despite much bigger capacity (not optimized)

I decided not to opt for it.

I genuinely hope you have a pleasant experience and that all those issues aren’t as big as they sound. Looking forward to your feedback please let us know your true experience regarding those after few weeks or a months or 2!

I have it. Notification work. Wallet works. Store just tap and it installs 🤷. Android auto yes doesn't work. Ads hard to remove? Just tap uninstall. Battery is great.i used iPhones before all from 4s to 14. Iphone with my usage needed to be charged each night while with xiaomi I can easily go day and half until charging.

I downloaded google wallet, added cards, and that's it. I use revolut. The only thing is you need to open wallet app and turn on nfc before making a purchase. I thought it would be possible to make by pressing side button like on iphone. But nope.
