If we're here talking about miui, full disclosure I'm not using it at the moment but have used miui off and on for years. The biggest thing I like about MIUI is, if you're coming from an iOS device, MIUI makes perfect sense. Mi cloud services are amazing and work just like apple's (you just have to either buy credits third party or use a site like privacy.com to purchase through alipay, but the pricing scheme is nearly identical to apple's, about $1/mo for 25gb, and Mi cloud doesn't backup full images of your device (very space inefficient) like apple does. Mi messaging is awesome where applicable. Portrait camera is AMAZING and really the only thing I "Miss" from MIUI rom.

I will say that back in the day of MIUI 6-8 the theme community was amazing. It's very weak now.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] juukeli:
I thought I could live with MIUI, but after 5 days I discovered that it's impossible to add anything else than Xiaomi devices as trusted bluetooth device, so I can´t unlock screen with my car audio. This sucks big time and I just have to change 3rd party rom because of this. Really stupid feature.

I have dcd's rom but it aways says I have one unread text. Does anybody know how to fix this without deleting all my texts?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
did you try a soft reset ive ahd that before, its not a big problem and is fixed either by a soft reset, or by getting another new text and reading taht.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
I'd try installing psshutxp, then reading the text message. Soft reset using psshutxp instead of using the stylus and see if it fixes it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] serfboreds:
This worked for me when I had that happen. Select all messages and mark as read. Then send yourself a text message from verizonwireless.com or wherever else, and that should reset the amount. Worst case is to delete all messages and then send yourself one.

With the latest EU rom (8.4.12), I got around 8.5 hours to do the web surfing through wifi (no video, audio) with the auto brightness about 50%.

Hope it helps.

I lost about 1% battery for every 5.3-5.6 minutes to be precised.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
If you use it all the time you get 5-7h SOT easily, however if you don't use it much you get around 4h because (at least for me) there's always some drain on latest china rom. I have to wait until the bootloader is unlocked to test it with xiaomi.eu or global rom
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ted presley:
I have problems with latest EU rom (8.4.28) which based on China Dev 8.4.26, my phone become unbearable lag and slow down.

They did something wrong with 8.4.26 kernel....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] teddy74eva:
Try rolling back to 8.4.12, I've heard it's much more polished overall.

BTW, battery life on official Xiaomi Global ROM is beyond fantastic, I'm straight shocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
How was it with normal rom for you?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] teddy74eva:
With the latest Chinese ROM I was getting the usual 5-6h of SOT with exactly the same setup as I have now with the Global ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
Nice, I'm currently on China rom and getting 5-7h, looking forward to global rom now :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] androFRUST:
Hi, anyone using the global edition, where the unit is not pre-flashed by vendors? just wondering how the battery life is compared to the mix 2, oneplus 6 and p20 pro.

GSM arena currently shows the mix 2s as having really bad battery endurance. but im assuming that was the china rom. Anyone can validate?

First cycle.. very good. hopefully it will be better. Coming from huawei mate 10 to oneplus 5t to mi mix 2s. Love ips lcd display.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ValterSilva1990:
Battery has been great, not much of a mobile gamer so i believe i'm a moderate user. So far between 8 to 9 hours of sot in 35 to 40 hours cycles.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ValterSilva1990:
Global rom,as it came from the store :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Loru2:
Same here, but I've never got more than 6h SOT with 24h usage
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ValterSilva1990:
I don't game much, the heaviest use i gave it was the camera. No NFC, bluetooth or gps. Just regular use,like 2 to 3 hours of YouTube, Facebook, watching movie or anime and lots of web browsing get me 8 hours at least on every charge.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Kish1799:
Hi, I've had my Mi Mix 2s for a couple months now. I have the 256gb variant, still rocking the chinese rom. Max screen on time I get with the phone is 3 and a half/ 4 hours.

Judging from other people's reviews thats much lower than average. So I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to try improve it? Does the global rom help improve it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Wcosta:
I'm with Global rom miui 10 beta and battery is bad I get max 5h of use and even before with miui 9 it was not great also. Great phone all good except the battery at least for me coming from OnePlus 5 and 5t.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] duraaraa:
I've heard really bad things about standby drain with this phone -- gsmarena's review indicates it's really horrible.

Can anyone with the phone elaborate on how it is?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
I charge my phone during the night and remove it from the charger when I wake up during the night (usually at 3am). After that it's just laying around until about 10am(weekend) and if I pick it up it usually has 99 or 100%(wifi and Bluetooth enabled all the time). Of course there is more drain if you are on mobile data but you will have enough juice for one day for sure. I'm currently on 5,5h SOT with 22% left. Phone has not seen a charger for 13h and 34min, I had wifi for 10h and no time without signal
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] malimukk:
Well, after I disabled gallery sync, standby is really good. ~1%/hr which is for me perfectly fine
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
You are right, forgot to tell that, that mi sync stuff drained the battery a lot
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ObsidianW:
(Test done with sync disabled)

During my sleep time (11PM-8AM - airplane mode active) it lose around 1% every two hours.

Else it lose around 1% every hour.

I'm currently at 86% of battery after doing 45~60 minutes of internet (estimated at 3% of battery use) and 15 hours and a half since last charge

I work events. I bought the Mix 2s originally because I had an event coming up and needed something that could go all day and NOT necessitate carrying around a USB battery in my pockets as well. I've yet to have it die on me. Lowest it's gotten is 8-10%

Battery saver mode works excellent on this phone and despite a lack of OLED screen, I usually tie SOT power consumption to my most used app of the day neck-and-neck. Fast charge works perfect on this phone as well, usually can get from 10 to 65-80 in about 10-15 mins.

Without the case you get in the package it always feels a little slippery. Compared to the oneplus one I owned before it feels very heavy
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] zsajak:
The weight is a serious issue for me, it feels like a brick in the hand
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] noahthedominator:
Not sure why all the complaints about weight. I notice it a bit but it is a welcomed change to me. The weight to me resembles quality. In an age where I feel that my oneplus 5t was almost too thin, I really love how the MI Mix 2s feels in hand. Hard to say it feels like a brick because it weights 191 grams (6.74 oz) most bricks weight 3 pounds or more. The oneplus 5t was 164 ish grams. 30 grams isnt that big of a difference....

Ceramic is a lot stronger than other materials as well (yes its very brittle I know that), and I love how it looks. Plus it has wireless charging!

Nonetheless, the design, weight, and screen, make this the absolute best feeling device in hand. IN MY OPINION.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] zsajak:
To each his own, weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy and ceramic is a less than ideal material for a phone.

For me the weight is a serious issue even when it does not look that much in numbers, you feel it while holding it longer, especially while watching videos.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] noahthedominator:
You sure have a lot of issues with this phone! Starting to wonder why you bought it...

You must watch some LONNNNNNNNNNNG videos bro. Maybe ya need to hit the gym more if you arms are getting sore :D
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] zsajak:
I obviously bought it expecting the weight not being that large of an issue
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] noahthedominator:
"weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy" Soooo you're telling me that a plastic phone that is 100 grams is just as durable as a metal framed phone with glass on one side and ceramic on the other.

Sorry but you are wrong. My nexus 6p was metal and I watched many people fold theirs in half. Weight does not equal quality. But they go hand in hand....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] zsajak:
Yes a polymere can actually be a great material because it can be light strong and flexibel, great for a phone especially when you drop it, brittle things like caramic and Glas break.

It's only because or the irrational 'premium' feel manufacturers started using these other materials
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] noahthedominator:
:good: Have fun with your polymer flip phones then dude. Its 2018. If you were to stuff a polymer phone in your pocket with a bunch of keys and coins it would be scratched to hell in no time. I own a polymer handgun and would never want my phone to be made out of it. Metal is harder than plastic dude. Metal would scratch plastic. Ceramic is extremely scratch resistant and it allows for wireless charge, unlike aluminum.

If you dont like ceramic and glass go back to your Nokia grandpa.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Flatric:
Dude keep calm, we are all friends here, no reason to be offensive:D

Actually 30g from 160g is a huge difference. That's one fifth (20%) so it is a lot. I agree with you that the ceramic back definitely makes it feel high quality but it will scratch and break too. The plastic back of the 1+1 was very very resistant, I dropped this phone countless times on concrete and it only had a few scratches. I would also prefer, in some cases, a good plastic to a ceramic or glass back(don't like glass at all) but it would destroy the premium look of the 2s completely.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] zsajak:
Exactly, I had the opo too and it was nearly indestructible, great materials
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] rivethead23:
I'm going to post this coming from a V20. In hand this phone feels weighty more so than the V20 even tho the difference is about 10g. While slippery naked, the provided case gives it a nice soft gripiness. The sides are gently curved and feel good in hand. I have long fingers so I can say the screen size is good for me but I can see the less endowed having issues. I'm happy with the feel overall.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] souless poet:
This phone is sexy as hell. Love the look and feel. The weight is a non issue for me. Coming from my pixel 2xl the weight doesn't bother me. I'd be interested in a skin if and when that comes out.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Ulver:
Mobile Outfitters has skins for the 2S. At least clear and matte ones. I have one on mine.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] souless poet:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] GuestD0850:
Great feel but slippery. Really good build quality and yeah it is heavier than most other devices which is great imo.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] j2002:
Coming from MI5, yes, It feels heavier.

Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2S mediante Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] redjamesg:
To me it does feel heavier than the other phones I've been using, but that's mainly because I've never used a phone with a screen size above 5"

After a few month the weight doesn't affect your usage of the phone and it is barely noticable.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Peden:
It feels nice in hand for me with a "medium sized" hand (or what else you would call a normal hand :)

I just think it's way to slippery and couldn't see myself use it without a cover - and not the included one as that's even more slippery! Have no problems with the weight..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] stillka:
hi, I just bough mi mix 2s after 2 years on MI5, are you happy with the new phone? It's camera better then MI5? (MI5 with latest gcam mod had perfect HDR+ pictures for me....)

how log last battery in compare with MI5?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] j2002:
Globally, everything is better (battery life too). I've never used gcam: with miui app, rear camera is better and front camera equal.

As I said, the weight is the only negative issue I've found at the moment.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] stillka:
I belive you, MI5 was very light (but fragile, see jerryrigeverything on youtube) phone, at least MIX 2S should be more durable :) I see only one issue with it, its not water resistant....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Gopena:
The phone is very svelte in the hand. I adore the texture of the ceramic. Was using a case but recently stopped. The ceramic is so smooth the phone will slide off of "flat" surfaces, so this has taken some getting used to. Despite large surface area, I often find myself using the phone one-handed with little to no issue. Triggering the brightness sensor on the chin sometimes is troublesome.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] xumixu:
Agree on being heavier, but not much of an issue (aside that it fall harder).

Came to hate the ceramic back, every little fingerprint shows, is way too slippery. do not slips off hands but it will slip off of every surface, even with a little slope. I got it a 360 case wich helps a lot, though it keep it from colling down properly messed with the proximity sensor, however a little dremel did wonders.

I'm a little upset that there are so many replacement back covers on aliexpress, however non mate black (no ceramic nor plastic).

Lastly the lower bezel is a real pain. I would have prefered the bezzel to be on top due to the camera functioning. While the selfie can "work" upside down, being april 2019, they still ahve not addressed the inverted videos, also, if you invert the phone, the finger print shooting get very hard to reach with index finger, so by using it inverted you lose that fucntion. I don't really get the point of having a "cleaner" top if you have to put up with so much issues. At least it seems that they found it an awful solution and used drop notches or slider cameras on newer models.

While they are not deal breaker, these are little things that bug you in the long run.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Cubiss:
Been using MIX 2S for 7 months now and I like it.

It's a bit on the heavier side, and the ceramic back is very slippery on virtually every surface. I use it with a rubber case which makes holding it easy, the bottom bezel is great for holding the phone in landscape mode with one hand.

The position of the brightness sensor is a bit unfortunate. I cover it with my hand a lot and the display will sometimes get dimmer.

Back facing camera forms a little bump, which makes using the phone without the case feel weird.

Front facing camera in the bottom bezel is not a big deal since I don't use it much and the Xiaomi camera app works well with gyro. It's only an issue if you use the google camera port or some other camera app.

That's all the negatives I can think of about this phone. If none of the above is an issue for you, you will be happy with this device.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ej_424:
Great and can easily make it look close to stock Android through the theme app.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] LormaD:
BUT!!! it has been only like forever, that EVERYONE is asking MIUI to have an independant volume control level for the Ringtone, and the Message (notification) tone.

Why in gods name would you want to have them locked as one sound level. On most roms, you can choose to unbridge or bridge the two.

Cheers,

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] Z953RR:
+1000!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Real Life Review] ObsidianW:
I find MIUI pretty average.

The settings menu is a bit of a mess.

The gestures are pretty good but it's hard to not launch google while trying to launch multitask or home.

I'm not really fond of MIUI colors, it honestly feels that is doesn't have a proper identity and do not feel consistent enough (the blue/white theme isn't always respected) and it lacks a real highlight color (well there is an yellow-ish orange color that can be found often but i'm not sure if this is the highlight color).

The theme app is not available in EU so I have to change region every time i want to change a theme (which is slightly annoying)

And finally i'm not a fan of the applications groups/folder the scrolling feels a bit weird (I preferred the pager like EMUI); Same for the multitasking.

One good things about those default is that they might not exist anymore soon, Xiaomi does a lot of software update and really works their UI. From the few I've seen MIUI 10 will be more consistent in it's design and will improve it's multitasking. Furthermore the 'Theme' app will probably come to EU soon.

So overall, coming from EMUI, I'm a bit disappointed. But the facts that there is a lot of improvement done by Xiaomi and that devices who are more than 4 years old (such as MI3) are still updated makes choosing MIUI a perfectly viable choice. I can't wait to see which path MIUI will take.
