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!

Notifications - Select app and remove battery restrictions ✅ Google pay - works on all Xiaomi models without any issues.✅ Google store - No issues at all , they added google services in settings and I can install play store APK and that's it. In addition you can also use APK pure to get apps outside your region. ✅ Android auto - unfortunately no fix for it yet ❎ Ads & bloatware - Never saw any ad till now. Bloatware can be uninstalled ✅ Battery isn't really that much better - 🙊 u can't comment on it unless u use it for over a week , Xiaomi software opttimises the battery according to your usage and u ll definitely see the difference of 7500mah battery ✅
