i know it's wrong to ask this kind of question here, but i'm really in dilemma now. Im thinking to get new phone but undecided which one to choose:
1. RN5 (4GB)
-best price vs performance phone
-lowest camera quality compared to below option
-build quality, but acceptable since this is mid 1k phone
-disappointed because no 6GB version after waited for long
-using well known Snapdragon SOC

2. Mate 10 Pro (6GB)
-reduced price, can get brand new for rm2.6k
-proven battery life
-Gen 1 AI with possibility of getting update/port from P20 Gen 2 AI

3. P20 Pro (6GB)
-latest hype in the market, but battery life is slightly shorter compared to M10P
-best camera phone in the world at the moment
-AI assisted image for night mode, no need tripod

I'm very well versed with MIUI and EMUI so user experience will be not that much issue. I know the price is huge difference, I dont mind investing but at the same time if i can save some bucks why not.

my last xiaomi phone was mi3 and RN3, used OP3T for 3 weeks then i switched to honor 6x. i'm a retired flasholic.

This is my preference rank (from most to least important):
1. Battery life
2. Price (since its a huge gap)
3. Camera
4. Build quality
5. Performance (i believed for real world usage the difference is barely noticeable)
6. UI

What is the drawback or disadvantages when buying 6GB version? Other than warranty issue

Camera unable to start with stock china rom?

just bought official set from IOI Mall. initial impression ok, not washout or whatever. double tap to wake working fine.

Xiaomi Mi Store IOI City Mall. Standard price

Tipu Some authorized shop already selling since yesterday

I think when you enabled this setting, once you click something in the quick settings, that notification shade will auto disappear. So you saved 1 click.

1 hour watching YouTube kids, battery reduced from 100 to 93. Worth it.

Wifi, screen set to auto. Volume can't remember, my kids watching it.

Any difference that cast option from notification bar with the one from Google home?

Yes I can 😀

I did some mistake in the 1st attempt, opened youtube and clicked the cast to chromecast, of course nothing happened when i moved the phone in 360 video.

2nd attempt, i mirrored my screen using built in cast (i believed it is miracast) and then opened YouTube 360 video on my phone, i managed to reproduce it

No issue with Google maps and waze, Digi user.

i don't encountered any those issues, something is wrong with your phone or ROM

not only umobile+xiaomi combo, it happened to umobile+oneplus too

maybe he's referring to the OEM and Mi unlocked status

Reformatted my phone (MIUI 10) and noticed no more stock email app? is it just me or they removed MIUI email app?

Not that bad or bloated. Im coming from stock vanilla android and for me MIUI is still acceptable for me. Their extra software also useful, like remote control, cleaner, screen recorder, QR scanner, compass.

2018 where data is unlimited and cheap 😀
Anyway only if i use their video player i will get obstruction ads

My unit, Unifi 500mbps, asus ac86u, connect to 5Ghz.
