By seller.
Not sure to be honest. It's the global version so I would expect Xiaomi though good to have a store to assist as well.
I did chat to them via the website and email and they were responsive and provided good support
Please use the reply button.
Did you get the charger in the box?
Why would anyone spend a $1,000 on a Xiaomi instead of Apple or Samsung?
Because they charge double with the similar performance, and xiaomi build quality is on par (if no better) with other brands.
Unless you took advantage of the current trade in program with Samsung. That has just been a no brainer.
Username checks out lol. Won’t argue what you said but Xiaomi isn’t an inferior brand to Samsung mobile brand. I agree brand sentiment is important but it takes time to build for any brands.
The Samsung trade-in scam? You only need to look that one up to learn of what a ridiculous ploy that is.
It's best you search this up to observe the overwhelming amount of complaints yourself. Aside from this, Samsung Australia stinks, just a warning if you ever have to deal with them.
@Cheeper: Can confirm. Called their customer service for my TV and the rep was rude and stupid. Couldn't understand the issue and blamed it on me. Called back 2x to get someone to understand the issue and solve it. The rude rep wouldn't tell me his name so I couldn't make a formal complaint. Screw samsung
Oh yeah their amazing trade in program. My Galaxy S20 Ultra 512GB was rated $300 at best or something. Screw them.
@Tacooo: I got $730 for my S7 edge a month ago. That was a $30 stacked with trade in bonus, I think that is what people are referring to.
@Nebos: Yeah I got $800+ for my s10+ for my trade-in.
Contrary experience: Samsung Australia has been a breeze to deal with - I had to do a screen replacement due to a screen issue and it was sorted within the day. Dropped off the phone at the Sydney Olympic Park facility and they had it ready for me within a couple of hours.
That said my experience does not discount the poor experience the other folk have had, just my 2c to balance things out.
Exactly, can get one of the S21's for literally half of this, and there's zero way anyone can justify paying double for something that's going to tank in depreciation
@cille745: Had a terrible experience dealing with Samsung online store re: faulty return of a 49 inch Ultra wide screen monitor. Used their own courier , tracking said it's been delivered to their warehouse, warehouse staff said it's been delivered, customer rep said they can't locate it in the warehouse. 49 inch screen missing. How does that happen ? Took 12 weeks all up to get sorted. Avoid Samsung at all costs. If you do buy Samsung, pray you'll never have to deal with their service centre/agents. Don't believe me, check out other reviews online.
Edit: sorry, was replying to someone else's comment re: Samsung service above..
MIUi has come in leaps and bounds over the last 12 months. I am getting security updates every 2 months on my Poco f2 pro. Absolutely no concern over bloat (a few here and there, but so does every other brand include their own). No performance issues or broken bits so I fail to see what's not 'polished'.
I consider myself a power user, having done the whole rooting, booting and roming scene.
OS is a personal thing. Just like Windows Vs MacOS be ChromeOS.
Pure Android sucks balls. Nova's gesture controls anyday
Browsing on a pure android phone right now. My Redmi Note 9S with MIUI is far better.
MIUI does what a UI should, it futher enhances and refines the base OS to suit the manufacturer's product.
I am using Mi 6 since 2017 and I have had no trouble whatsoever. Still going strong.
Doesn't matter.
A $1000+ Xiamoi phone will depreciate harder than a new car lol
The analogy is wrong at present but I do agree about Xiamoi depreciating faster
Ive never sold a phone, they are always old and outdated when I am done lol
$1,850 iPhone X 256gb in excellent condition can be had for around $500 refurbished now with a 12 month warranty.
I recently sold a mid range Huawei phone that cost me $400 new for $150 after 2 and a half years of using it. Struggled to get more than $200 for my daughter's iPhone 8 at a similar age. Which had better depreciation.
samsung and apple have spent a lot of money on os too apple pay, samsung pay and a lot of other feature slike ip68
You don't need Apple pay or Samsung pay when you have Gpay. It works flawlessly and it's super light and simple.
Just an excuse to buy over priced phones.
I have the MI 11 and it's a great phone. Nothing to fault it with and also comes with a 55w wall charger.
Samsung has wasted alot of money on UI considering their market cap it's amazing that they are only marginally better than Xiaomi and alike.
been using Android and Windows phone all my life, Nexus 4, some Xiaomi, s4, s8 and s20 and next one is going to be iPhone, because Samsung UI is absolute crap. and I like what iPhone is doing on privacy front.
like activates screen in pocket but often safety locks the screen when in dark room thinking its in the pocket, in screen fingerprint sensor is unusable for people in trades with tough and dry skin aso
my HTC HD2 10 years ago in many ways, had a better UI than samsung S20
@ripprind: Yes I agree, the under screen finger print is terrible even for people not in a trade profession. I still prefer physical finger printer scanner.
Give Xiaomi 2-3 years before they will give Samsung a good run for their money, but I will assume that the US will put a stop to them before that happens like they did with Huawei.
Privacy wise, I think we should be more concerned about the apps we use and how they tracks us and spy on us than they OS itself. Eitherway, both iOs and Android are not as secure as they all claim they are.
Xiaomi's UI is all over the place though and does not have true encryption
does not have true encryption
What does that mean?
No exynos or Bixby on the Xiaomi.
Bixby killed Samsung for me. Was so happy when I switched to a 9t. Doubt I will ever go back to Samsung's disaster UI and bixby
Bixby is cool. I used to hold the button and say “I’m lonely” and then it was automated to open tinder and swipe right a bunch of times
Oh damn, sounds like you didn’t understand what bixby is for.
@onlinepred: What's too understand, a crappy version of google assistant that Samsung try to jam down your throat, designed to collect data for Samsung but with less features and less compatibility. I don't use google assistant either so certainly not going to use a worse version of it. Quite happy to be with the rest of the majority that don't understand bixby.
@gromit: Yep you really missed its point. It doesn’t compare to google assistant lol, entirely different and more powerful
Better specs for the money is the usual reason. This phone has a msrp of $1099 whilst the s21 is $1249. This phone has a 888 over 2100 (though its a minor advantage), higher resolution screen (both made by samsung). Better camera hardware (not sure if it takes better pics though). Also has a 30w charger and case included as well.
I'd imagine that if they did launch the mi 11 lite 5g at $600 ish, it'd be quite impressive.
However S21 is under $500 with current promo…
show us the promo for $500
@SS625: you don't have to actually send your phone in. You can still get $650 off without sending it in. I have a S9 they offered me $60 trade in. If I don't send it in I just have to pay an extra 60 on top of the 439 I've paid. So would be $499 total.
Don’t forget xiaomi update policy vs Samsung. It’s almost half.
Yes! totally agree. Buy an Asus.
Lol trying hard to sell the geopolitical cliche even if you’re on ozbargain.??? Come on. Stop that nonsense because demonising something you hate never changes how the physical world runs.
Buy ASUS phones over Xiaomi? ROFL have a read of any trusted statistics of sales, people all around the world have already given you answer.
Yeah it's called OzBargain, not OzDontcarehowmuchsomethingcosts.
Just because we don't believe your lie about China/CCP, we can see and think by ourself, so stXu.
@syswong I think your system is w(r)Ong or HongWrong?
Apple: Junk. Not even if it is free.
Samsung: 50% of the price is for the logoWhole family of 6 switched to Poco, vivo, oppo, xiaomi and have never looked back.
With these brands, there is nothing to look back
CCP got your back more likely.
Jokes aside, Im not paranoid with these things. I'm running a xiaomi router
I tried an oppo. Hands down the worst phone I've ever owned. It sucked so badly I'll need at least a decade before I'll try another Chinese cheapy.
I don't care what the spec's are on paper phones have all been good enough for years now but a crap os is worth paying more to avoid.
My Oppo reno 5g is better than a Galaxy S9 (and S9+) that my wife and daughter own
I had the worse experience with samsung.
Will never go back again.
Remember, things can go both ways.@Mydc5r: but sometimes you put things inside and cannot get them back out… i learnt that the hard way
keep supporting chinese, Apple is not trash, look at m1 chip, and iphones last 5+ years, the last xiaomi I bent in half overnight sleeping over it…
I don't think 'sleeping on' is intended use. Then again, I'm sure it will take X amount of weight, you just exceed that capacity lol
@plague69: yea, I suppose it was just a cheap phone (note , $250) and made of cheap aluminium I was in highschool so that was all the money I had, but I would suppose the higher ends have same quality. But you have to keep in mind xiaomi is not making their own os, and features like face ID are amazing. I currently have iphone xs and s10e and xs feels smooth and much like a new phone whereas s10e feels like a 2 year old phone, it stutters, heats up etc. Battery is similar tho.
"iphones last 5+ years"
Tell that to my more than 6 years old Huawei Y550, if you dare.
@bargainparker: I have a Mate 10 Pro and this thing is still going as strong as it did when I first bought it. They really know how to make their phones last. Too bad they don't have Google services anymore.
Because Samsung ui and quality is horrible.
Apple? Maybe worth it. Samsung? C’mon unless you are die hard C hater and can’t fix your discrimination towards C brand.
Bacause they are smart, only pay $1000 instead $2000 plus for a phone that still doing the same job or even better !
Coz not everyone jumps on the crapple and shamsung bandwagon…
Your question is just stupid unless you are new to tech space
I have had the s8 and s9. Went to Xiaomi for mi10. And never looked back
Once xiaomi, never Samsung.
That's why Samsung dropped off from top10 best selling brands in china.All overseas brands are being kicked out by Chinese government including even Tesla. Many brands are going out from the Chinese market. They copy everything without paying.
Have you even looked at mobile phones recently?
What exactly do you think the "big brands" are doing differently?
How many times have Apple and Samsung sued each other for copying each other's tech?@pauly85: There is the copying ideas (ahem, "inspired by"), and the corresponding law suits, media coverage, and deals that rightfully take place, and then there is blatant state backed & protected IP theft. This has been an government backed way of advancing in China for the past 20+ years, it's a fact of life, it's not even a debatable matter. I don't consider myself a China-phobe, i own many Xiaomi products (and other brands), but I also work in the Industry and not blind to the reality of what goes on (and how much/how long we've dismissed its impact). It's been at the heart of advancement for most industries there. My own observations are its only since growing difficulties to cheap labor, increasing limitations & conditions on access to the local market to foreign companies (prior to covid), and of course global politics since covid, it's become a headline broadly socialized topic.
@Xizor: I don't doubt that it's happening. But why should I as a consumer care if Apple make money or some random Chinese brand make money?
Apple are shockingly unethical in their practices, and are now hoarding wealth as the most cash rich company in the US.
Why would I choose to buy a far more expensive phone from them than a Chinese brand?
@pauly85: Samsung and Apple sued each other for IP theft. But in China market it is different story by Chinese government. Overseas companies cannot sue Chinese local companies for IP theft. The Chinese companies copy everything for free and that is one of the reasons how they can sell their products so cheap. Even Apple cannot sue Chinese companies for IP theft. Google and Facebook were kicked out of China by Chinese government. This is a just piece of iceberg. Chinese government gets more power then more threat to the world. See what happens in the South China sea.
@TigerWoops: did we just kick HUAWEI out?
how can you copy something that has not been invented, such as 5G or even 6G? we dont even have a OZ company that makes phones.I will support the local company who make "copy" phone without a doubt, not blood undies with "design in OZ, made in CN".
@TigerWoops: I don't remember any of these overseas companies being forced to enter the China market; being forced to set up manufacturing plants in China under the IP requirements that they must have known existed then; or being forced to stay in China after they understood what was happening with their IP.
Must be something in it for them, I guess. 😎
yeah, keep spreading your nonsense lie
Using Tesla as an example just shows how ignorant you are. China has a whole supply chain to grow relying on the electric car industry and Tesla has got so much benefit.
Do you know why Tesla share price shot skyrocket since late 2019? Maybe do a bit research before you make non-sense comments like this.@tidie: Have you heard new news about Tesla? They had a plan to expand their factory in China. But now they hold it cos Chinese gov change their policy to protect their local elecrtic car makers. Tesla's sales droped by 25%. Under the Chinese gov overseas brands have a high risk of chasing out from Chinese market by Chinese gov without warning.
@TigerWoops: What policy?
And even if it is a real thing, have you heard what happened to Huawei's 5G? Double standard much?@tidie: Actually most Chinese companies are Chinese gov spies as their law says all companies have to supply any info the gov asks. And most of companies are partly owned by Chinese gov. That's why US gov asks its alley not to use Huawei's hardware in their telecommunication systems.
@TigerWoops: So you think all US companies will not spy for the US government? Have you not heard of the NSA scandal and how they were forcing all phone and tech companies to spy on the people in the US and on people all over the world?
The way I see it is this, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
@TigerWoops: Why would the Chinese Government allow Apple to make and still sell their phones in Chine but not Tesla? Wouldn't this be the same scenario considering China's Huawei has been banned by the US?
Also Aus gets inferior Exynos
Exynos performing on par this gen and trade blows. Check out the reviews of the s21 ultra where they compare the two. Agree in prior iterations exynos not great.
Not really. Look at heat which means power consumption. Also GPU performance
Man the M11 ultra looks nice! But no global version 🥲
