I have owned Mi3 and Mi5 with GPS problem.

Occasionally can, occasionally cannot. Not sure software or hardware issue...

My redmi note 3 (MTK version) has faced GPS issues since day one. Not sure about the newer models.

Funnily, my Mi3 does not have GPS problem but my Huawei P9 does have it very often.

Was thinking to change to Pocophone but if the GPS problem persist, it's a no go for me.

If I'm not wrong, Xiaomi earlier models got GPS issue because of their mediatek chip.

Not quite true that only the MIUI models are affected. Even the Mi A1 has the same issue despite running stock Android. I am
using one as my work phone and it's brilliant except for the regular GPS outage. I'm still pushing the Xiaomi service center for
a solution but it's pretty hopeless dry.gif
