I paid 250€ for my current Xiaomi and I love it. It's ridiculous how good the phone is compared to its cheap price. No way I will stop using Chinese phones (especially since the CIA is a lot scarier than the CPC)

I love how, with the Snowden leaks and more, we know definitively that the US government is collecting all our data but people are super scared right now that China might be spying on them.

One thing's for sure: capitalism seems to be miles ahead of any socialist country when it comes to propagandizing their citizens. Because the best propaganda is the kind that you don't even know is there.

Lol, the US 3 letter agencies are more likely to disappear me than anyone in China.

Same, xiaomi phones are 10x better than samshits for a third of the price. Really funny that the with the US blocking huawei, and now soon xiaomi, that the US will have access to only the worst phones.

NOOOOO you need to pay $1500 for the latest iPhone to stimulate the economy

[–] CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I might start looking at Xiaomi next... I started with Huawei but they're getting expensive now. Still very good phones, best camera on the market on the P50 pro at the time, but they're iPhone prices now

Dude, their redmi note series are bangers. I bought mine 2 years ago and still rocking it hard. Chinese phones are the best

Xiaomi phones are extremely good...i'm too deeply entrenched in Apple's ecosystem though.

Same, I will escape one day though

Suggestions? My Motorola is getting rather dated. Do they still have aux ports? I hate the trend of companies getting rid of them.

[–] RedCat@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 1 year ago

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. I am happy to report that it has an aux port.

I don't get why someone would buy a dumb phone as a status symbol. I never liked those dumb devices in comparison to Android.
