This just happened to my phone screen right now, Mi 9T, It didn't fall down at all. Just finished watching movie and saw the white line at the right top of the screen. Pls any solution

Since this is a screenshot then the display is undamaged. Try force restart or a display tester.

None of the above.
Curiousity though, because it's my first time using this brand.
Then use it in peace with open mind.

Out of the box, is the coral green color option of the Mi 10 8/256. Box contains the phone, 30w charger, type C cable, transparent hard case (more like a hybrid between silicon and nilkin case), Sim ejector tool. This option is the global version (single Sim).
On the first look, you'd notice the beautiful aesthetics and attention to detail in the design of the phone. Brushed aluminum metal covered with gorilla glass front and back (I think corning gorilla glass 5).

Powered on and set up in no time. It's good that it has the option to transfer your files from your old xiaomi device to this one over local wireless. Google setup also done.

After powering on, first thing you'd notice is the incredibly crisp display. A blend of appropriate contrast, sharpness, and color. Though it's a FullHD display, you can barely tell the difference with a 2K display (I have used 2K displays from the LG phone range before, so I can tell). The bezeless edged display also gives a beautiful feel for those who love this.

The global version ships with the Global MUIU 11, and very few bloatware compared to the CN version. Also comes pre-installed with GApps, so you don't need stressing to get your Google apps.

Scrolling through the phone was as smooth and smooth can be, and you could almost immediately notice the 90Hz refresh rate of the screen. Charging out of the box took about 20 mins to get it from 65% to 100%. It supports 30w wireless charging but I don't think I'd be investing in a wireless charger for now.

During initial use, I shared Wi-Fi from my other phone for the initial setup. After a while the phone started to heat up a lil bit (I use a lot of apps though, so I had to reinstall them all). The battery dropped about 35% after like 2hrs. This got me worried. The battery has been steady strong after doing a security update for May, the battery life and heating issues seems to have gone away. Did 45 minutes of music on 80% volume with Wi-Fi on and the battery dropped just 1%. Yet to do a rigorous gaming and video test on the battery.

My favorite games on Android are War Robots (PvP), PUBG, and Asphalt 9. Tested the 3 games on it yesterday. Connection was good on PUBG and War robots was good. Game play was very smooth, and you could easily tell when game play is sustained above 60FPS. Heat generation was very tolerable also, compared to the last Snapdragon I used (SD835). On-screen controls for the games were great, with very fast response. I also tried the Asphalt 9 with it (using the Glap mobile controller). Awesome graphics, great response.

I am yet to give the device a full day testing because I've been busy. Also yet to do a camera test. I might update with that later.

Boss how has the experience been after using the phone for this long now

Did you see any RN7 that got Android 10 on MIUI 12 or was there any rule that said all phones on Android 9 eligible for update will get Android 10 together with their MIUI 12 updates?

Android 10 first then MIUI 12, same applies for Redmi 8

Ok thanks

if you multitask a lot you better endure and get the 4gb cuz MIUI won't allow your apps stay long in the background.

higher brightness = higher battery drain.
lower brightness = lower battery drain.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Loneley: 7:27pm On Aug 04, 2020
Just did.

Problem solved.

Thanks a lot bro.

Gptech:

Have you done a hardware test? Might not be hardware related.
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by Igemburg(m): 7:33pm On Aug 04, 2020
Loneley:
Igemburg do you have a replacement earpiece for Redmi Note 7?

Not sure if earpiece is the name though.

Can't hear callers when on a call

Do the hardware test 1st, then if no response, let me know

Purchased Xiaomi Note 10 Lite 6GB/128GB from seller nurex01 today.

My thoughts:
Excellent businessman
Patient seller
Well-mannered and jovial
He even suggested escrow when I exercised doubts


I enjoyed doing business with him

For those still waiting for Mi A4. It is the end of an Era.

A lot of OEMs have walked away from the android one program leaving only HMD.

How can I make this headphone icon go away?
I inserted an earpiece into my phone, I've removed it yet this icon is still showing.
Now I can't hear any sounds at all and I've even done hard reset, same thing.

Been using even a lesser version of Mediatek (Infinix) for 3+ years now, I don't mind upgrading to another Mediatek that is even presumed to be far better. I don't know why you people are scared of Mediatek.
You see, that's why I typed "If left to me". The fact that you were able to cope/manage a device running mediatek (Infinix for that matter) for more than 3 years does not mean every other person can afford to go through that "punishment" because that's exactly how I see it. It's not a matter of being scared, it's a matter of choice. There's no way I can get the level of freedom I have using snapdragon devices on mediatek ones. As a matter of fact, within the first few hours of unboxing my latest device, I applied for bootloader unlocking and got it unlocked after 7 days and within an hour of unlocking, you can't begin to imagine the wonders I preformed with the phone. This, I wouldn't dare to try if it were a mediatek device.

Finally, check the attached picture from the official website of Xiaomi.eu; this is one of the many reasons I will always choose snapdragon over mediatek(Xiaomi) over any Transsion device.
