Mix 2S vs Huwaei Mate 10 Pro - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers

Hello to everyone. Any views on Mix 2S vs Mate 10 Pro?
I am having a hard time deciding between the two. On the one hand the Mate 10 Pro in "sexy" blue, with the official European support and service, the camera, the AI, the battery life, the IR, and the known quality. On the other hand Mix2S 6/128 which is unknown territory to me, bought from sometimes dodgy Chinese sites, non-official or difficult support, and questionable battery, but innovative and practical and also rather "sexy" in ceramic (please correct me if this the 6/128 is not ceramic), with the practicality of wireless charging. Price is roughly the same. Thanks
(PS. 1+6 is too apple-ish, so out of the equation. Perhaps the Smartisan R1 would be a strong contender having the best looks, but again hard to find and no idea about the support and build quality).

In my opinion you don't really need the support, if you buy it on tradingshenzen for example you can buy a 2-year insurance for 24€ covering nearly everything. The camera on the 2s is awesome but I don't know the mate 10 camera so I can't compare it. I get about 6-7h SOT so battery life is not bad. IR is a great feature and I miss it a bit but not very much. The build quality of the 2s is awesome it feels very very premium but it's a little bit heavy. Yes, the 128 version has a ceramic back and the sides are aluminum. There's a full ceramic version but that's only the 256gb version I think. If you have some questions feel free to ask

I have both and I actually prefer the Mix 2S. I've had many Xiaomi phones in the past, so I'm more partial to Xiaomi and MIUI, but I wanted to try the Mate 10 Pro. The 2S camera is right up there with the Mate 10 Pro. I like the fact that the Mate 10 is waterproof, AMOLED screen, and slightly better feel in the hand. I feel Xiaomi has more frequent updates, especially if you decide to try the dev ROM.

Thanks to both replies. One question: Does Google Pay work on Mix 2S? Thanks

Sorry to be off topic, but is your device Chinese or Global version? I can't get GPay working on my Chinese one, always stuck on "contacting your bank" message.

Whats your standby drain like? Debating on a 2s vs waiting on a Zenfone 5z.
My s9+ is getting sold off once its paid off, battery life is inconsistent at best and it really annoys me. Former View 10 and Mate 10 were far far better.

BTW the way I understand it, is that there won't be any waiting time on the phones sold through their recently opened European stores (at least it is not mentioned in the instructions).

Can you tell me something about the speaker and mic, compare to Mate 10 Pro? I think the Mate 10 Pro is about 10 times better than the Mix 2s

Mi Mix 2S vs OnePlus 6

I was just wondering if those of you who haven't ordered the Mi Mix 2S yet are you considering the OnePlus 6 instead? I'm kind of on the fence between this phone and the upcoming OP6. I like the fact that the OP6 has similar specs with reportedly very good camera and waterproofing.
Am I the only one debating this or are you guys convinced the Mi Plus 2s is the right phone for you?
OP6 has a notch which is enough for me not to buy it.
Same thing here. I am waiting for OP6 to be release and see which one to buy. Has anyone able to get the Mi Mix S2 in the US?
My 1+1 is very old now so I had to decide between MI mix 2s or waiting for the 1+6, I bought the mi mix 2s because the price is lower, the design is just awesome and the camera is very good. Oneplus said everytime their new camera makes perfect images and it was crappy everytime
The only reason for me I would prefer the 1+6 over the 2s is the huge developer community behind oneplus devices, there are houndreds of Roms, kernels and mods. However with the new project treble we will see lots of Roms for the mi mix 2s for sure and if you check the xda page of the mi mix 2 you can see there is lots of development too (of course not as much as for 1+ devices). As far as I know the 1+6 will only be splashwater proof
B28 kinda important to me but don't need/want the 256gb and not paying that much for a network band lol. Will wait and see what OP6 brings or even u12 to replace u11.

Wise words, bro
I was ready to buy a Mi Mix 2S but I wanted to wait for the OnePlus 6 but that notch just kills it for me.
It does not have any symmetry or anything in its design, its just ugly IMO. Although I dont like the camera bump on the mi mix 2s either, with the provided case it looks actually quite good.
How about bringing the Mate 10 Pro into the equation as well? Personally I was waiting to choose between the 3 of them, but the notch brought the choice down to 2. 1+6 is too apple-ish imo. I think I will start another thread on 2S vs M10P btw.
Wanting a Snapdragon 845, there isn't a huge choice at reasonable prices.
I'll probably choose the Mi Mix 2S over the OnePlus 6 because:
- cheaper
- no ugly notch
- has wireless charging

How is your opinion about how the 2s feels in your hands? For me that's the only downside of the 2s, my 1+1 feels so much better (especially because of the weight) and without the case the 2s is very slippery...
Honestly, I was waiting for the OP6 launch but after seeing what they are offering, decided to go with the Mi Mix 2s. Then I saw that not only did Xiaomi not get rid of their stupid unlocking period, they actually increased it to 360 hours. Seriously, this is the kind of BS that makes me want to never buy another Xiaomi device. Went through tons of hassle with my Mi 6 unlocking and not feeling like doing it again so looks like it is OP6 for me.

Right now there are no custom roms or even stock roms for the MM2S, so waiting two weeks is not a problem for me at least. I wish I could unlock immediately, of course, but I don't think it's a problem waiting two weeks at this point.
And the notch...

I like to unlock the bootloader on all my devices as soon as I get it so I don't have to format again later. I just don't understand the reasoning behind this process I guess. Also, I wonder if the mi mix 2s will have a decent rom scene or at least better than the disappointing mi 6 custom development

Yeah, good point. Although unlocking will most probably result in wiping all your data, I have actually unlocked the Redmi Note 4 without wiping anything for some reason. This might not be the case, but also, I have read that using MIUI in-built backup will restore everything...
Regarding custom development, time will tell. But the fact that it's on the P preview is a good signal, I guess.
Also, GSI images seem to be working relatively good according to some users.
Im waiting to see what the mi7/8 brings to the table. Hopefully Xiaomi will include band 20.
Mi 7/8 will bring a notch to the table. Also probably 3D face recognition
The notch is killing me on the OP6.
But OP development is of the charts.
What will the development be like for the 2S?
I had a not-so-good experience with my OP3T and always wanted a Mix phone, because they are the most beautiful phones around
The speaker (calls) died after like 8 months or so, so i had to fit with earphones or the main speaker which is a pain in the ass, battery has been failing lately and also feels slightly sluggish on stock rom.
the biggest issue is the first one, TONS OF PEOPLE had problems with the 3T speaker and they made it look like it never happened, honestly if it wasnt a small bug i would say "whatever" but i could hardly use the MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF A PHONE, CALLING... also updates? op forgot about 3t after 5 released.
So, NO MORE ONE PLUS PHONES FOR ME, NEVER AGAIN.

Coming from LG G6

Hey
I'm currently a lg G6 user and I'm thinking about buying the mi mix 2s !
I live in Paris so had the chance to test it live in their store and found it beautiful, the screen was very good and the camera too, but I also tried the Xiaomi S2 in hand and felt good too.
I know the price would be a factor, but it's not the case for me and Idk what to buy, the S2 or the mi mix 2s.
I mostly use my phone for youtube, chatting sms calls... no games and I take many pictures, so the camera and battery are important to me (I also like to use custom roms ...)
I ask you if you could please give me your opinion and help me choose
Many thanks !
The Mi Mix 2S has the better camera and internal specs, also the build materials are better. But that's because they are different phones, aimed at different targets: The Mi Mix 2S being a flagship, whereas the S2 is a mid tier phone.
I totally agree with Kristof_clg, however keep in mind that the 2s is very heavy. Feels very strange if you are not used to it
I also came from a G6. Don't get the 2S. Hell, don't get any Xiaomi device.
Too many broken/missing features.
Just get another LG or something like that.
I was on LG G5, next ZUK Z2 Pro, next OnePlus 3 and now on Mix 2S and it's A LOT better than all previous ones, smoothness, camera, quality build, the screen, it's very very impressive, I know the G6 and you should leave LG for Xiaomi.
I moved from LG6 to MIX 2S and don't regret it. all specs are obviously better, including battery life. took me a while to get used to weight, MIX 2s is a very, very heavy device. there were few problems with original software, but latest update fixed it. Camera is much better. design was the reason i bought MIX, but if i should do it again, i will not buy Xiaomi device again.

Depends on what phone you had before. I bought the 2s after I used the oneplus one for a long time... The 1+1 is wonderful lightweight and the 2s feels like I can murder someone with it

It simply doesn't make a big deal to me.
I owned 11 smartphones and it truly doesn't bother me. In fact I'm okay with it.
Just my personal preference.
I came from an HTC 10 and a Nexus 6 before that. Neither of those phones was built to be a lightweight, and even I noticed how heavy the 2S is. That said, it doesn't bother me a bit. To me if feels sturdy and I would much rather that than it feeling cheap and like it couldn't take a drop (my first couple of Samsung phones come to mind). Plus as stated earlier, you could use it as an effective weapon if needed
LG have had quality build issues. G4 bootloop due to bad memory, G5 gps Very weak, to not working at all. I have a g5 currently and have a mix 2s on its way to me. I dont know what missing features apart from headphone jack and no microsd slot there are. Mix 2s has an ir blaster like g5 has which you wont find on any other current flagship main stream device now and 8gb ram 256gb rom is more than what samsung or lg give you, 4gb of ram on s9 is terrible for a premium device. Micro sd cards are reletively slow anyway, getting 256gb mix 2s negates the need for microsd.

Sorry it doesn't. Some sites that list specs incorrectly say it has. Obviously googling for "mix2s ir blaster" takes you to those sites, my mistake. I have my mix 2s now, I didn't when I posted that.

Pathetic battery

Only 3200mah? Wtf were they thinking? This is a bad case of form over function. My Mix2 battery life is "just" acceptable and instead of improving it they make it smaller. I'm definitely ordering the NexS. I may resume my Xiaomi love affair with the Mix4 if they come to their senses.
Yeah, agree 100 %, but the problem with the Vivo NEX S is that you have no root and no bootloader unlock.
Also, no Wireless Charging.

I don't root or tinker so it doesn't matter. I don't even care about wireless charging especially with a phone like the Nex which is easily a two day phone.

Calm down man, what did you expect with all those moving parts? BTW, did Xiaomi promise you anything before they announced the phone that you are so pissed now?
Calm down.
While the battery might be smaller than the Mi Mix 2's, the screen now is Oled instead of LCD. This should mean that you'll get more SOT than you currently do with the 2. The battery on the Mi Mix 2 is fine for regular usage (with my Mi Mix 2 reaching about 1,5 days of SOT, needing to be charged every 2-3 days), and I'm sure the battery for the 3 will be better than your current device.

Calm down? I'm not pissed, I'm disappointed. It's gone from 4400mah to 3400 to 3200. The NexS has similar specs and a 4,000mah battery. Huawei's Mate line is almost always 4,000mah. Compromising on battery life is a deal breaker for me.

The NexS has the same oled and 4,000mah.
Btw I think you mean 1.5 days overall. No phone achieves 1.5 days (36 hrs) of sot.
Mix 1 4400 mAh 6.4 inch
Mix 2 3400 mAh 6 inch
Mix 3 3200 mAh 6.4 inch
So, we get 218g device with 8.3mm and only 3200 mAh. Amoled or not, this is trash.

I briefly had the NexS,I think you'll like it,but,if you haven't already,I'd take a look around the NEX forum here @ XDA before taking the plunge,especially if this is gonna be a long-term daily driver.
The software is definitely iOS inspired,but,manageable,a bit of tweaking is in order,especially if you want to use a 3rd party launcher.
Ditto for the Oppo Find X,I had that one for an even briefer amount of time before selling it (5 days),worst mfg UI experience EVER by a country mile.
The hardware on both are awesome,the Nex,while not a flashy,would be the one of the two I'd recommend.

Thanks for the advice. I've been on the Nex forums for a while and bought based on the comments there. The FindX slide to unlock made it a no no from the beginning.
Sounds like you had the Chinese version which is a nightmare outside China. I ordered the global version (I hope!) and it's fine they say. I always change my launcher to FastKey or ZenUi especially on my Xiaomi's so the ios look won't be overwhelming. It's arriving next week so I'll know everything for sure then.

Yep, had the original (Chinese) versions of both.
I went in to the experience fully aware that things were different from the way most of us use our phones outside of China & baked-in Google services.
Still came out of it very surprised at how restrictive the user experience was.
I've heard the global ROMs offer a better experience.
Would be nice to have OnePlus' OOS on either,the best of both worlds.....

Vivo Nex S or Mi Mix 2S or Meizu 16th

Hey there!
So I've always been a Xiaomi fan for the past 4 years, although I've been offered either a Vivo Nex S or the Meizu 16th for my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S + 90€...
Wondering if such a deal is worth it, and if so for which?
I love them both due to the screens and on-screen fingerprint reader so just looking for a more "in-depth" opinion...
Cheers!
i can tell you i had mi mix 2s and i sold it to buy vivo nex s in which is arriving in 2 weeks
2 things i did to want this
the battery on mi mix2s with 5-7 hours SoT due to the 3400mah and LCD IPS screen.
and the selfie camera which i dont use that often but when i did it annoyed me having to up side down.
the only thing ill probably going to regret is the lack of support towards roms, root and other mods.
But we will have to see and wait for Funtouch OS to get better in time.
About Meizu 16th can't say for certain but a 3010mah battery doesn't look promising and the design is also something i don't like in comparison to the vivo nex.
So i say VivoNexS>MiMix2s>Meizu16th
A flagship without battery kife is nothing that's the reason y i dintt got s9 or so plus

I replaced my Mix2 with the NexS and I'm loving it. Don't know much about the Meizu but it certainly won't match the Nex in battery life.
Thanks guys! Vivo it is!
EDIT: just got offered a 6T for 130€ more. Is it worth or should I. Keep with the vivo? Also, regarding to Roms, how's funtouch compared to MIUI or even OxygenOS?

Despite what some might say Funtouch isn't all that bad, however OxygenOS for me is leaps and bounds better. However the Vivo Nex (international) is one very nice device, the battery life is just sublime, display also & camera's are very nice to......:good:

Coming directly from the Mix2 and MIUI I actually prefer Funtouch in many ways. I've never used Oxygen.
The Oneplus is a better known and more popular phone than the NexS but I don't think it's a better phone (especially with that horrible notch). I look at the NexS as a premium Oneplus since they're basically from the same stable but with a bigger full screen, battery, wow factor pop-up camera and exclusiveness. I think it's the most underrated phone of 2018.

true
Wanted to take the time and "mini-necro" this to thank you guys for the suggestion. Vivo is just... wow... I still went for the 6T but traded it like 2 months later and couldn't be more satisfied.
Cheers

We told ya!
Looking at what's been released so far for 2019, I don't really see any compelling reason to replace my Nex. It's that good and the new phones are just adopting what the Nex already has.
I'll use this post to ask something else. I'm getting a phone for a mate's birthday. Thinking about a Mi Mix 3 or an S9 Plus. I can get 'em both for the same price. Which should I take?

Neither. Get something with better battery life like the Zenfone 6, Nex S or P30. I'm a Xiaomi fan btw.
guys i git nex at 26k used 8 days n now selling at 23k 5 months used so should i upgrade to oneplus 7 not pro putting 10k extra ( m also interest in roms n mods) isbtht 10k worth

OnePlus 7 Pro OR Redmi K20 Pro ?

Hi, I decided to change my phone (LG G5) this year, because finally here are the notch-less phones.
I'm really interested by the oneplus 7 pro, the asus zenfone 6 doesn't seem better, but the Xiaomi Redmi k20 is coming soon.
With the same features, but seems smaller (I think that the oneplus is really too big for the one hand use)
But, mostly it's about the OS, miui or oxygen os ?
miui seems close to apple (no thank you) and oxygen close to android stock.
Do you think I should wait the redmi k20 announce ? (28 may) or it doesn't worth to wait ?
Thanks.

I haven't done full research into the k20 but if the question is between OxygenOS Vs MIUI and generally between how Xiaomi operates Vs OnePlus then I would say OnePlus every day of the week.
I have been personally interested in the Xiaomi Mi phones for a few years but I always see a lack of ROM development, the extended period of time it takes to get your bootloader unlocked, the adverts built into MIUI and the heavy customisation as really big negatives of Xiaomi.
The performance of the OnePlus 7 Pro is fantastic. If you use the GPU Profiling developer setting, even on 90hz 1440p, the phone hardly goes over the green line (or doesn't drop frames) on the stock kernel. Once we get custom kernels up and running from the likes of RenderBroken and Arter97, this thing will absolutely fly!
In terms of size I have smaller hands and I agree that you can't use this phone one handed all of the time. There are things you can do like swipe down for notifications that do help but it's still a two handed phone for some uses. Having said that, that's the way this industry is going so for mez I would need a phone with 5-5.5inch display with all screen display to be truely one handed (HTC 10 was the last phone I could use completely one handed and manage to reach everywhere on the phone without it being awkward).
My view is go for the 7 Pro and you won't regret it.

Yeah it seems nice, but I don't really care anymore as I already bought the OP7pro.
The redmi is still not announced in France, I think the redmi k20 is a little better on the hardware, but not the software.
And yes cheaper.
I'm happy with the OP7pro, except a little too much heavy but I don't regret, but it's nice for redmi, the market need flagships killer.
the only downside of OnePlus 7 Pro is the curved screen

Yes I agree about that too, I didn't think that it was a downside before using it all day.
A flat screen and a headphone jack I'd go with redmi

and the blue tint on the side is quite serious, especially in low light condition

Yes I understand, and also if I'm right a better fingerprint sensor.
But what about the OS ?

OEM skin is a main factor that you have to decide.
Oxygen OS is not perfect either. Killing app on background aggressively is something that oneplus doesn't want to fix. Echo voice on Snapchat Facebook messenger etc. Battery life is not great either.
One plus always !
OnePlus 7Pro for the win!

You can disable the ads and I am hoping because of the agressive pricing and bootloader unlock there will be tons of custom ROMs so software should not be an issue
I was so about to order the Oneplus 7 pro but now after the K20 pro launch I am having second thoughts.
Can someone please state all the reasons why I must buy OP7 pro over the K20 pro so that my faith in Oneplus is restored again :angel:

I just disagree about this point, the battery is awesome.
I charged it yesterday morning 100%, I used it a lot as a new phone a lot of config, but also videos à 100% brightness (screen at 90hz)
I only charge it during the car (watching video 100% too and low charging in car), not charging during the night, this morning I am at 61%.
And another good point, screen at 100%, videos, games, install apps etc.. and no heat.
This is the first time I don't need to charge a phone during my sleep.
Interested to see how well the K20 pro works with Oxygen OS flashed on it. Cheaper phone with OOS, that'll do nicely.
K20, it has a headphone jack, I won't feed tard companies that wants to force you to buy new headphones that are inferior to the ones with cable at this point.
I went for the 9t pro.. Flat screen, headphone jack and £300 cheaper for similar spec - 8gb/256gb model... A no brainer imo... No adware I can see and I use nova launcher anyway re GUI. Awesome. Would've liked regular software updates but for the price .....
I own the K20 pro before the OnePlus 7 pro,the display under sunlight it's like cheap oled screen the colour is bad, fingerprint doesn't recognize all the time if your finger is dirt or wet, the miui have a lot of bugs, the front camera capture the coverbord if you use the full body cover and is little annoying
