dude, xiaomi is life. their phones are actually great, last long enough and are actually pretty affordable
i had a xiaomi phone a while back (it was a redmi phone). it felt too restrictive to use, and i really didn’t like that the official apps had ads on them. might not seem like much of a problem to you, but i’m just sharing my [not really that great] experiences with xiaomi.
How’s is the OS and their accessibility? Do they have a unique one, or do they run off of Android?
I assume they’re talking about it Android. Chinese companies are beginning to really grow like crazy everywhere except the North American market. Some people on North America import them because in some cases they have more advanced camera technology, bigger sensors. Or because for a while the only foldable options outside of Samsung or Chinese brands that you had to import.
Here in Vietnam they’re growing quickly, too. I got a very good deal on a recent-ish model Samsung but I was considering a Xiaomi. I may get a tablet from them if they make one. Overall a better deal than Korean brands.

Their OS is based on Android, is called MIUI. I think it’s ok, pretty modern but is not remarkable in any sense. The accessibility however its in pair with the android phones in the market I guess
They don’t work with third party launchers. At least that’s true of their flagship devices like the mi 11 ultra. That is a deal breaker for me.
Before I looked a bit into it I didn’t even know launchers could be installed without rooting.
Are there features that you want/need that the stock launcher doesn’t have or are you writing it off because of the restriction?
I’ve already started knowing people who are getting Huaweis in the USA. It seems to me that Chinese smartphones are becoming popular everywhere.
chinese smartphones are very popular on brazil too, i purchased a pocophone the same price i paid on my previous piece of shit lg phone not only phone but computer parts too, many pieces of my setup is chinese, they r cheap and very good
OPPO is a great value in Vietnam. I just mentioned I happen to have a Samsung rn but previously I had an oppo, great hardware at a cheap price. If it didn’t get run over by my uncle’s motorbike I’d still have it :(
I’m helping!
I don’t love that its kind of hard to get custom roms for them, but I think Google is making it harder for everyone…
I’ve got a huawei now, but I’ll be moving to an oppo soon. :B
