[@zarelinoise3866]

I don't understand why people opt-in to everything when they set up their devices. My Poco X6 Pro has zero ads, I didn't use any debloater or script, didn't follow any guide. I just used my brain to opt-out at setup. Just read the license agreements, the checkmarks specially, see if they're optional, opt-out of everything 'personalization'. Don't enable Carousel Wallpapers (that should be obvious from the warnings).

[@prinzexisalowqualityytber]

yeah with the new hyperos update you are not forced to use the wallpaper carousel now

[@syafiqaszamin6411]

I've bought the X6 Pro, removed the bloatware with Universal Android Debloater, changed the OEM apps with third party open source apps like for gallery, wallpaper, video player ect. Use dns.adguard as Private DNS and disabled the msa. Even though there's no night mode on the phone setting most apps can be set to dark mode on the apps setting itself. The app drawer background can be set to dark mode too in the App drawer setting. I turned off the App Vault too. So far not a single ads problem.

[@Otto45]

Thank you for this comment! Android Debloater is such an amazing tool for modern phones.

[@stockportiniesta]

is it hard to remove the ads? I would like to buy this phone but considering the built in ads constantly pop up there might change my mind

If you upgrade to the X6 Pro, you'd get a stronger processor (better speed), and higher res display. Speakers and haptics are comparable to the F3. These are not usually items that differ significantly.

[@eitanob]

Are you able to completely disable adverts, as you can with existing Poco phones? I.e. switching off MSA, and all recommendation settings in system apps. A phone with permanent ads, is a non-starter for me.

After switching off MSA and recommendation it's still there.

[@englandcalling9721]

@@LimReviews Wow. Would you be able to test if changing the phone's DNS to a free ad block DNS, such as Mullvad's DNS, has any impact? You're the only reviewer making note of the adverts. Not sure whether it's region specific, other reviewers are simply not mentioning it. The X6 5G you showed looked almost unusable, with that level of popups. Thank you for all your videos.

​@englandcalling9721 Can you explain what msa is and where to find this setting on xiaomi phones please? Thank you 😊

@@Carol...... MSA is MIUI System Ads. In MIUI, Settings, Password & security, Authorisation & revocation, switch msa off. Open each Xiaomi app and switch off Receive Recommendations in its settings section. This will eliminate ads appearing, in that app. As mentioned by Lim, it might not work with Hyper OS.

I've lost faith in Xiaomi phone quality. I've owned two Xiaomi phones. The first one (Mi Mix 2S) developed numerous problems after two years. Then i buy another new xiaomi phone (Mi 10 Ultra). Within a year, numerous issues arise. From dead touchscreen areas to yellowish screens, occasional lagging, freezing, and more. After experiencing these problems, I opted for a cheap second-hand Sony smartphone that was two years old (Xperia 1). Now, in my third year of using it (the phone being five years old), it still runs smoothly and quickly, although the battery has weakened considerably.
