What you have to know before buying a Xiaomi

Xiaomi is undoubtedly one of the firms of the moment. It has become the brand that sells the most mobile phones in Spain and is already rubbing shoulders with the main manufacturers globally.

The mobiles that make up its catalog have become the most recommended and best opinions in the current market. It is not surprising that many bet on Xiaomi terminals before those of other brands.

However, like everything in life, you have to look at what you buy to avoid surprises. Today, we will tell you what you have to know before buying a Xiaomi so that you are clear about what awaits you when you get one of these devices.

Is Xiaomi good?

Several reasons make Xiaomi phones especially good, and in which most opinions, reviews, and comments about the brand’s phones coincide. These are the aspects that make these terminals among the best on the market in 2021:

Performance

First of all, you should know that the performance of most Xiaomi phones is excellent. Even with combinations of MediaTek or Snapdragon 400 series processors, the whole will move smoothly, and it will be difficult for you to find a mobile that works smoother and faster than a Xiaomi in medium and low ranges.

The main reason that makes the performance of Xiaomi terminals so good is MIUI, the software that the brand’s terminals incorporate.

MIUI is a version of Android developed by Xiaomi and optimized to work perfectly with the Mi, Redmi, or POCO terminals.

The autonomy

Second, be clear that it is difficult to find a Xiaomi mobile with poor autonomy, as you can read in many comments from different online stores.

The company usually introduces large batteries in its phones, which, added to the good optimization of resources and efficient processors, make the brand’s terminals a benchmark in terms of battery life.

The price

Finally, be clear that buying a Xiaomi mobile is one of the smartest decisions you can make if you are concerned about value for money.

The Xiaomi phones are of excellent quality, but that does not mean to leave you a kidney and a half. Except for the most cutting-edge phones of the Miseries, such as the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro, Xiaomi phones are among the cheapest on the market.

The photograph

Even on the cheapest mobiles, Xiaomi can offer a good photographic experience. The company is used to introducing good cameras in their mobiles, capable of taking high-quality captures, especially in the higher ranges.

However, where Xiaomi phones really stand out, and without a doubt, they are the reference in photography within the mid-range segment. Phones like the Redmi Note 9 Pro can take photos of much better quality than other mobiles of the same price.

Why are there bad opinions about Xiaomi phones

Of course, Xiaomi phones are not perfect. Although, due to its price, it is difficult to fault the brand’s mobile phones, there are some reasons that more than one could consider sufficient not to buy a Xiaomi mobile.

MIUI

It is delicate to put MIUI as a negative point since it is a beautiful, functional, and attractive ROM for many, but not for all.

MIUI introduces big changes concerning a “clean” version of Android, which is not something negative as bad. However, on occasions, we have had to report on questionable decisions made by the company, such as inserting advertising in the software of their mobiles.

In addition, Xiaomi is not the brand that updates its mobiles the fastest and has sometimes had serious problems when it comes to bringing the latest version of Android to its terminals.

Our take on Xiaomi in terms of its software is that while MIUI’s performance is pretty good overall, the company should spend more time polishing the bugs that are still present in this modified version of Android.

Variety of devices

They say that variety is taste. And it may be true. But when in a catalog we can find dozens of mobiles, some of them traced to each other, so many possibilities can be overwhelming.

On more than one occasion, we have been able to find Xiaomi and Redmi phones with very similar characteristics, whose differences are limited to just a couple of details. Sometimes we even see big price differences between similar models.

This can be somewhat confusing, especially for less advanced users unfamiliar with technical specifications or features. Still, the reality is that the vast majority of models have fantastic user ratings.

Difficult access in some countries

Several years have passed since Xiaomi arrived in Spain, and its mobiles can be purchased in the most popular stores. However, in some countries, it is still as difficult to buy a Xiaomi mobile as it was until a few years ago in Spain.

This is the case of the United States or some regions of Latin America, where Xiaomi has not yet landed with its full catalog of accessories, mobiles, and other products. These are not opinions but reality.

In conclusion … how are Xiaomi phones?

To the question of whether Xiaomi is a good or bad brand, the answer is clear: it is one of the most recommended firms in the market, which during its ten years of life has evolved to become one of the market references in terms of quality and reliability.

The Xiaomi Mi, Redmi, POCO, Black Shark, and other terminals are of excellent quality. The vast majority of problems present in the models launched several years ago have long been corrected.

Therefore, if you are thinking of buying a Xiaomi mobile and have found a model that suits your needs: do not hesitate; the terminals of this brand are as good – or better – as those of any other more recognized firm.

Decide on a Xiaomi in a few seconds.

Before evaluating whether or not a Xiaomi is a good buy, we anticipate 3 models that are hitting it right now, for one reason or another, but that will undoubtedly be a very great acquisition.
