Verm, 06 May 2019Wait for Oneplus 7 and Oneplus 7 pro and decide later. Honestly, if you fancy oxygen os go for... moreIt really depends.
For starter, at my region, last year Xiaomi Mi8 and Oneplus 6 are not in the same price range. Oneplus 6 128GB price is already close to Samsung S9 Plus price.
So, it really depend in which region the phone is sold.
At the selling price of Oneplus 6, I would rather get a Samsung S9 Plus and seal the deal.
At Xiaomi Mi8 price, it's direct competitor is ASUS Zenfone 5z. Then at slightly cheaper side on price of 64GB Xiaomi Mi8, can get a 128GB Pocophone F1.
If you are talking about fans of Oxygen OS, then just pick Oneplus 7 without needing to compare the price, it won't come down to the price of Mi9.

Sq, 07 May 2019Really disappointing that there's still no SD card slot. It's a big deal and the battery is a ... moreSince Xiaomi Mi2, then the Xiaomi Mi Note series, there is no Micro SD slot for these flagship model. Oneplus flagship also doesn't has this slot either since the first Oneplus One. Huawei also start ditching the Micro SD, but they offer NM card slot, which is 3 to 4 times more expensive than Micro SD card, not a direct replacement solution either, your old Micro SD card cannot be used.
Battery size is arguable, but only because last year Samsung Note 9 is doing with 4000mah, then you can now say this 3300mah battery is small, if not then this 3300mah is pretty respectable for a flagship phone. Previously on Samsung S9 Plus, and also Note 8 also having small battery like this, why don't you complain on that?
If last year your country has Pocophone F1 and ASUS Zenfone 5z, then get these, which has proper Micro SD slot, and pricing of these is cheaper than Xiaomi Mi8.
Get the right phone instead of complaining this phone don't has this and that, especially when you are complaining at budget flagship, which obviously due to cut cost, they omit these features.

Tim, 07 May 2019Could you pls convince me that I should buy Mi 9 rather than iPhone 8 Plus? Thanks.It’s a no brainer. Mi 9 is better in almost every way apart from iOS if you prefer it. Better battery, camera just as good if not better, faster chip, more ram, won’t give up on your in a year. Order from aliexpress and pay for DHL shipping if you live outside china

Really disappointing that there's still no SD card slot. It's a big deal and the battery is a little small for such a big phone. 3300 or 3400 may is not enough. 64gb storage is again insufficient. I'm not a fan of virtual storage. I have a lot of videos, songs and pictures.i really need a minimum 128gb but with my pocophone F1, I have that plus a 256gb SD card. It's really annoying and completely impossible to understand this decision. I'll wait for the Lenovo Z6 pro to come down. Looks incredible. 4000mah battery and an expansion slot with a very impressive camera and a great amoled screen.

Fady, 05 May 2019Which one do you recommend mi 9 or OnePlus 6 and why? Definetly the Mi 9, it's guaranteed to get at least one more update, definetly going to have aftermarket update support. Has newer chipset and better GPS (dual-frequency plus other systems). It's also cheaper. Though if you think a 3.5mm socket is a must-have then the O6 but in my opinion it's not worth the tradeoff in other areas.

After looking at all the phones available right now this is my opinion about the phone:
Be aware of the cons this one has:
* No HDMI (MHL) - Can't really be solved unless broadcasting
* No 3.5mm - Can be solved with BT AptX HD receiver
* No SD-Card slot - USB OTG can allow storage extension
* USB 2.0 (but USB-C) - No fix possible
* No 5G - No fix possible
But keep in mind the positives:
* Dual-channel GNSS
* USB OTG
* IR Blaster
* Good camera
* Good aftermarket possibilities
* 500€ cheaper than the alternative that has the things listed above
* WiFi 802.11ac
* Under-screen FP scanner
* Good chipset (best available currently)

I have just got a Mi 9 (128gb/6gb) two days ago in Singapore for SGD 699.00. The camera is great and the processor is fast too. It still runs cool when my old Oppo R9 pro gets very hot during gaming. However, Mi 9's pre-installed apps all have advertisement, including browser, music player or almost anything inside. I hope they don't drain my data flat from just popping up for any apps i used.

MrsFriday, 02 May 2019Xiaomi Mi9 better or Huawei Nova 4 better or Honor View 20 better?? HELPP!! 😭Honor view 20 is better than nova 4 for the price except it does not have an amoled display. But i would go with the mi 9 because of the camera/processor/charging/dual band gps and in fact the price is lower than both of the nova 4 and view 20
