Video quality: EIS should work on 1080p/30fps as on my Redmi Note 8 Pro and that is fully acceptable quality👍 But as here no EIS on 1080/60 or 4K so just remember this simple rule: Use 1080/60 or 4K video only if you DON'T WALK around... stay put in other words and just move the camera around softly with your hands.

Love your reviews! Really do put the important stuff ahead of raw statistics lika on GA. Just keep it up! So, have the bugs been solved by an software update fresh into 2022.? And does 1080p/60fps video recording have EIS enabled now? Also, what phone would you recommend that has best(ish) 1080p/60 videos (front and/or back camera), with EIS (and/or OIS), but at the same time keeping it budget friendly? As far as I have seen so far, the Xiaomi has excellent EIS software installed for the budget.

[@albertotabios795]

Been using this phone for 3 months. First 2 months was so frustrating. Lots of SLEEP BUGS and RANDOM BOOTLOOP. I experienced almost 5 times of bootloop which was so frustrating because everytime it happens, i need to factory reset my device. Luckily, i stumbled one internet suggestion that the stock MIUI launcher was buggy and try to use Nova Launcher as replacement. As of now, 1 month later, i never experience any of those problems. Hope that XIAOMI fix these kinds of problem. It is really frustrating. They're good on giving you value for hardware but interms of software, i still might choose SAMSUNGs One UI.

[@U_H89]

So with Realme or Xiaomi you will have to skip two/three/four 'generations' of phones until you find one, that you really prefer - you just have to withstand all offers and prices before 🤷😉...

So cool that the midrange phones these days are killer phones for the price, for 5 years ago i bought Motorola z play with a sd 625 processor i think it had, but the phone back then was about €445 and in my opinion compared to this phone not as good, so these days even midrange phones are good for the price

[@veterannaruto]

I've got this phone recently, and got some "problems" I think they don't have a fix but still want to ask if anyone has any solution First, the front camera looks horribly blurry in the app/preview, Found out that turning the front flash always on KINDA fixes it but still, low light front camera photos look the same or even worse than my prior Redmi 8. Second thing is the speakers volume, the sound is pretty good Quality wise I think but "volume" wise, it's not THAT loud, again my Redmi 8 used to sound A LOT stronger/louder than this one does, is the phone just like that? is there any way to work around that to make it sound louder? PS: I kinda fix the selfie camera Issues by using the Gcam, actually it helps A LOT (at least with the selfie camera, main camera stock vs Gcam.... there's not a big of a difference actually) apart from that, the phone is a really good upgrade from my Redmi 8 and really enjoying everything else apart from those 2 things

Specs are nice as always, but as a lover of Miui, I'm starting to hate it. With every launch, there's always bugs, and xiaomi takes sometimes years to fix bad features and bugs. I remember Miui have issues with WhatsApp in 2015. 6 years after, you can still see ppl complaining about it. They've been using bad mics forever, and they keep at it. Like seriously, Xiaomi really needs a kick in their ass to get the software part going.

[@ivancarlos4806]

Oh, so the thing with audio messages on WhatsApp being really low is a software issue? I really liked this cell phone but I'm afraid the mic is going to be low when sending audio messages through WhatsApp. Do you know if this problem still exists?

[@TTks124]

No, that's rhe mic, cus they always use the same crappy mics 1-2 years, then they change them, for something 5% better as the industry goes on. The WhatsApp thing is notifications.

@@TTks124 and what's wrong with the notifications? What's the bug? Can you describe? I've just broke my Xiaomi mi a2 which was really good, really cheap and no bugs at all, even with WhatsApp.

[@TTks124]

@@thecolorstoriez9532it depends. It changed over the years. Mostly was the configuration of autostart, run in the background permission, or battery optimisation setting, that either did nothing when setting it up, or changed back on. Even when turning MIUI optimisation off, it was only a placebo effect, cus the effects of it will still remain, and battery optimization would still fuck with apps like WhatsApp and Telegram and others. Lately on the pocophone x3 and other xiaomis with Miui 12, WhatsApp notifications come very late, if you're on 5ghz WiFi, and there's nothing you can do to solve it, but use 2.4ghz or data.
