[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
Hahahahaha the camera is trash! Absolute trash. Even in normal daylight. Background is always blown out. HDR actually makes photos worse because is slows the shutter speed for no damn reason. My main phone is a pixel 2 xl tho so I guess my standards are pretty high. I just pray no one ever asks me to take a picture at a function if I only have the mi mix 2 on me. Oh lord.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] taotechad:
Yep, sucks big time. Came from 6p which, was much better!!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] izeman:
is this a hardware issue or is this software? i saw another thread about adding google cam. will this make better pictures?

i have an iphone6 at the moment, and my new mix2 is waiting at the office this monday. so will i be really disappointed by the pictures?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] allrockedout:
Camera not that great if your coming from a newer iPhone or Samsung device. Google camera mod does help the camera out a lot. You would just need to root the device to be able to use it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] palexis06:
Hi ,

After a lot of read it seems the problem are software, I hope in the future , somebody or Xiaomi port on the Mi mix 2 the software optimisation of Mi mix 2s (AI ...)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] ShadyGame:
Camera is good under great light conditions

It surprised me today

Altought it left me down in a 1 in a life opportunity to take a good picture with a celeb, the flash didn't worked leaving me with a dark picture... I wanted to wreck the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] papavales:
my old phones LG G2 and G3 taking way better quality photos
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] 1500cc:
I dont' want to root just to use Google's camera ... are there any others out there that do a better job than the stock camera app?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] woof123:
Not sure what you guys talking about....The camera is fine for me,and at least on par with my LG G2.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Adriano-A3:
I don't need camera at all

I use my camera more for reading QR Codes than to take pictures hahaha

What I need is power, and Mi Mix 2 can offers it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] unfaix:
Compare this camera to the og Mix, is it at least better ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] malimt:
The front camera quality is very poor and the rear (main) camera is average.... It does the job however, it does not even come close to any of the flagships out there... I get that this phone has been released for a couple of months now but still... There are many 2017 flagships that have better cameras than the mi mix 2... Very poor Camera quality, I just picked up the Huawei P20 Pro and my god the camera is absolutely stunning! But then again, this is a new phone that was just released so we cannot really compare the two.... The mi mix 2 certainly has a fast processor and with the white (SE) version that I picked up it's super fast and smooth thanks to the 8GB RAM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] malimt:
Seconded. I completely agree with you on that!!! It's super smooth and very fast!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Gingernut78:
Broken or just bad OIS/EIS video stabilization & bad video audio on the Mi Mix 2, a phone that cost me 399€.

The new Redmi Note 5 global/china version easily wipes the floor on both of these points and it's a supposed low cost phone, 185€.

If you watch some Redmi Note 5 video footage you'll see that it has amazing EIS, close to the Pixel 2 which is just insane at it's price point.

How is this possible Xiaomi, anybody????

Are these just bugs that snuck in on latest up dates on the Mi Mix 2 or has it always been bad?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] malimt:
I understand your frustrations I really do. Unfortunately, it's always been like this for me. I've used the Mi Mix and now the 2nd gen mi mix 2 both have had very very bad cameras comparing to other smartphones out there. It's not horrible but it's rather awful lol. Hopefully, it's a software thing and not hardware.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Gingernut78:
Well, for me the camera quality isn't that bad to honest but could be better.

The problem that I describe is common across many Xiaomi devices so it's definitely software. In latest nightly builds video stabilization is a bit better but video sound is still dreadful, a joke really.

Very important to open bugs at the Miui forums or affirm the ones already open.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] TrustAugustus:
Camera quality isn't that bad. Sometimes I the a photo and send surprised how good it is. I rather have bezel to bezel and no selfie camera, as well.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] malimt:
Yeah, I agree.

I too hope that it's a software issue. During daylight it works okay, but still overall quite poor.

I will be sure to submit a bug report through settings and let them know about this. I just saw this optiom today while looking through the settings.

During day light it works okay, but still it's rather poor compared to other smartphones. Especially the selfie camera.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] MrColdbird:
The camera is okay and with some fiddling and use of third party camera apps you can create some really nice shots. However it's almost always a pain in the ass to do, as in forget about point and shoot.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] obaidr:
Took two days ago. I like the camera so far.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] panos314:
The photos quality is perfect. You are unrelated to photos. I saw both samsung and iphone their cameras are for garbage irrespective of you irrelevant follow that you hear and see from many.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] rodriz:
There are no bad cameras, there are bad photographers
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] PhOeNiX_oNe:
Not so bad many people say. I'm also not a big photographer, but for me it's fine.

If the light is nice the pic's are very well.

But if the light's getting dark, the pictures get worse fast...

I think for the normal use it's fine and you can take great pictures with this phone :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] olli2018:
Camera Mi Mix 2

I also have the Mi Mix 2 and it's rooted.

Uses the software Camera MX and your camera makes perfect pictures. Can man then with the Galaxy S7 and S8

to compare.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] XDRdaniel:
I see no issues with the camera here
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] dark_prince:
Every trash camera performs well in the range of 10 feet. The problem is where the infinity focus or far-focus pictures are taken. Macros and close-ups are really good. Lighting is fine in broad daylight. After evening you'll have trouble.

I bought this phone for the build and performance it offers and I love it. Camera on the other hand, I hate slow shutters.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] jamike77:
I feel like I received a different phone from everyone else. On a normal day, I do 4 hour of SOT, start at 730 in the morning, finish at midnight with 50% battery left. This is with hundreds of emails received every day, youtube, web browsing, and maybe algal hour of calls.

Not quite sure how gsmarena got such a poor battery rating on this thing.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] taotechad:
I agree. I am getting about the same here. I love it, of course I am coming from Nexus 6p which battery life sucked
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] rowihel2012:

i had mate 9 with 4000 battary

my mix 2 last longer :laugh:

Good ..6 hours for me... But mainly on WiFi...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] PhavourFlavour:
Im switching Roms frequently so Cant Tell much about battery.

But yeah I also wonder why everyone is rating it bad, because damn much phones have same sized ?.

Sure my overall experience is kind of sad, because I'm coming from a Moto z play where I got 2-3 days with 9+ hours SOT.

On AOSP based ROMs I had to charge it 1-2 times a day, which is ridiculous nowadays

But now on epic rom I find it hard to kill battery in 1 day, even if im trying to. I'm now at 50% after 7 hours of use with bit less than 3 hours SOT

I guess that's a good thing ;)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] epuru22:
1 hour calls. Set on 3G network.

Screen brightness ~30%. Was used 99% indoor so I dont need more screen light.

Browsing, facebook and some youtube on Wi-Fi. Only about 20 minutes on mobile data.

Does anyone have good battery life with two sims?

Seems to be a huge difference for me between battery life with one and two sims.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] animaleyes76:
Yup 6.5 and sometimes 7 hours SOT with 2 sims
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] duraaraa:
Interesting. Which ROM or MIUI version are you using? How is standby?

For me with two sims, it drains 2% every hour, or more.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] animaleyes76:
Global stable 9.1.2.0.

I'd Def say it was less than 2% for sure, but I have a pretty good mobile signal all the time which definitely helps.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Asheque:
My word is absolute. So believe me when I say. Battery life of Mi Mix 2 is Fuking Godly. This phone never dies no matter how much I abuse. I will be looking to charge the phone but it got so much juice left still.

How do you guys get these insane SoT times?

Do you turn off location/WiFi/Data/Bluetooth/.... whenever you put the phone to sleep or what? I'm happy when my phone lasts the day. Often I am topping it off around 10pm.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] enzo_cz:
I dunno, myself even not gaming a SOT Is around 8 hrs easily
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] drvalianto:
IMO, switching to Pure Android makes me realise how much MIUI sucks. It sucks so much battery and memory out of the phone. Maximum 5-6 hrs SOT, RAM is always 1gb available out of SIX GB, which makes playing games and using Facebook laggy as hell. I have to constantly kill apps. I mean, 6gb is still not enough??????

With LOS (and RR), I can easily get this without even trying. :good: And RAM is always >3gb available. Such a breeze.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] oifi:
You don't know how RAM management works
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] drvalianto:
Yeah maybe I dont. But I'm good enough to tell if it's laggy or not.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] oifi:
That for sure.

But used RAM isn't a bad thing per se
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Twotems:
I don't know how you use your phone but I have 19 apps constantly open in the background and always 2-3gb of ram available. Average around 7hrs sot which is fine for me. There's only about 16 hours in a normal day ffs. The fact that you're using the Facebook app is probably 90% of the problem.

I loathe stock android because it's completely featureless. Give me miui any day.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] drvalianto:
If MIUI was that awesome, why can't it handle the Facebook app? Anyway, it's just individual opinion. If you love MIUI that much, good for you.:good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Twotems:
Nothing to do with MIUI, it's the awful Facebook app and it's constant wakelocks, autostarts, data mining, ram hogging and generally poor optimization. It's notorious.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] krasny2k5:
I just bought this phone. After a week of use with latest MIUI rom (9.5.4.0) I'm only getting like 5-5:30 SOT time (which is a lot more than my previous phone) and I only read posts like 7-8h of SOT, Is my battery defective?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Twotems:
Hard to say without knowing how you use your phone and how many apps you have running in the background. You should be getting at least 6 hours and sometimes 7 hours. If you're using the fb app then it's not surprising.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] krasny2k5:
I'll upload screenshots of my usage tonight. No Facebook app or very intense apps, that's why i'm quite surprised.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] mynameismada:
Coming from Redmi Note 3 Pro, the battery life is not that great, but I knew that when I bought the phone. I got it for the power and because I liked the design. So I tried to make the best of it.

At the moment I'm getting about 5 hours SOT with battery at 33%(when I usually charge) - so I should get over 7 h SOT. My setup: latest Omnirom + Greenify + BetterBattery Stats + BackgroundRestrictor. Also, probably helps that since I switched phones, I ditched FB, so no Facebook app or Messenger for me.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] krasny2k5:
Here are screenshots of my battery usage for a day. I don't understand how I'm getting 1-2 hours less than other people. I do not use Facebook apps and only a few with notifications.

Thank you all.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Twotems:
5h 18m SOT with 27% remaining will give you about 7hrs total depending on what you're doing. So your battery life is fine as far as I can tell. I use about 11-13% per hour of SOT which works out at a projected 7hrs. I hardly ever get there since by the end a normal day I'm at about 4hrs sot and around 40%.

P.S. Your Google Play Services consumption does seems unusually high though.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] krasny2k5:
Thank you for your reply.

The problem is that the screenshots are taken with only a 6% battery left, so 5h 18m of battery can be like 5h 40m, which is like 1h minor than it should be :( Is there any root-less app to track what can be causing this?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Twotems:
Ok my mistake. You don't need an app to check it. Click on each of the apps consuming battery and find which ones have unusual Keep Awake times. I'm suspecting Play Services, Reddit is Fun, WhatsApp and maybe Firefox. Force Stop them and open them again, that usually resets the cycles. Also click on the Analyze battery usage in the first battery page and make adjustments from there. If all else fails check apps that can Autostart. Lastly go to Background and choose the last option to prevent them from starting in any way unless you start them.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Real Life Review] Airboner:
For those who are getting above of 4 hour with enable screen, how do you manage? The most for me is about 4 hours. Referring to google services, cant stop it, this option isnt available. So what do you recommend in order to adjust usage of screen and getting more than 4 hour?

Thank you in advance.
