I love Huawei so, I have a like for Chinese brands like Xiaomi, they provide good phones at low(er) prices and, have phones at ever end of the spectrum, and are trying new things with different form factors. HyperOS is decent and the architecture they’re working on alongside it is interesting too but, because they release about 69,000 phones a year I don’t trust their update policies or speed of updates.
If you’re in the market for a Xiaomi or a Chinese phone in general and want a good example for a low price, then the 14T or the redmi is a good bet.
Their ecosystem is broad but, I’ve always found there’s better alternatives at similar prices, especially for their headphones.
The redmi looks tempting, but, my days, doesn’t every phone look similar nowadays. That redmi looks straight out of a BBK electronics playbook 😜
Love the general tech chat, I’m here for it!
