Fair comment, but it’s not been my experience before I discovered Xiaomi. Previously, I’d get the latest Samsung galaxy s phone every 2 years on contract. After about 18 months, the phone would be on its l
ast legs. I had the galaxy s2/s4/s6/s8, and they all became laggy, glitchy and had a battery life of about 4 hours towards the end of the 2 years.
My Xiaomi mi 8 pro lasted me over 2 years. I only replaced it with a 10t because I dropped it and smashed the screen.
As you may see mine is really really good 🙂
I can see that man, good for you! 🙂
Of course it will works, its only 2 years!
Wow I have gboard and mine looks like crap
I have shaped it through the customisation settings as I like it is really os you could do it yourself if you search it up a little bit 🙂
hell yeah, my mi mix 3 is too although the battery amount is degraded to almost half left.
Same!
What’s your keyboard?
Got the Mi 10t lite for my wife and she loves it! She was apprehensive about the size(coming from MiA2) but it’s not a concern at all now.
Fantastic value for money IMO, great phone.
Mine’s redmi note 6 pro, and still kicking
Mi mix 2s is too, looks like i managed to skip the notch era. I’m planning on keeping mine for a while yet. Seems there is little benefit in buying a new model. Ordered a new battery hopefully it wont be a crappy one.
My Redmi 4x still works after almost 4 years, just switched to a new phone tho
Yes considering the Redmi 8 sold for about $150. Cheap phones used to be very bad quality wise.
I’m lucky that my battery is still in decent condition after all these years. I really wish Xiaomi didn’t drop the Mi Max line. I haven’t found a modern phone with a similar sized screen with the same quality, performance and affordability of the Mi Max.
I have the original battery still, purchased the phone in November 2018 and the estimated battery health is 78% according to EvolutionX (3157/4021MaH)
It can barely get me through the day if I don’t use the camera.
Performance is still phenomenal for the price though!

RIP 🙁
As a person who’s rocking a Nexus 6P, I have to disagree.
edit: I consciously chose to rock a nexus 6p downgrading from an iphone 6s because I enjoyed android. Roms are great for extending the life of old phones!
its GBoard
The latest official MIUI version is MIUI 11.0 running on Android 7 Nougat.
Don’t know the specific version number, but it’s the most watered-down version you can get, as it’s based on Nougat.
It’s still going strong! My mother uses it and she hasn’t had a single problem with it.
I’m using Note 4X, will hit 4 years of use this May. Still on MIUI 9.3 haven’t updated since.
How can yours by 2 years old?
[Redmi 8 – Release date: October 2019](https://phonesdata.com/en/smartphones/xiaomi/redmi-8-5458370/)
I have the mi a2 Lite and it’s still going strong, besides the poor ram optimizations
Thanks i hope your phone last as well
My RN7 is still going strong too, but going stronger with EvolutionX, runs like a brand new phone plus instagram camera app works surprisingly great. Definitely looking forward for another 2 years with it.
Original, works perfectly fine
And the battery? Have you replaced it? Or you still have the original?
I’m still using my 5 year old Mi Max. No major issues with it, knock on wood.
Ah, sorry. I know how to check, I just didn’t have the phone with me.
It’s on MIUI 11.0.2.0 Global, Android 7 Nougat (NRD90M).
I can only imagine how long this phone will still last for with custom ROMs. It will just never die! 😀
Still got my note 6 pro
Surprised it got MIUI12
Still rocking a 3 year old nokia 6.1 and a 4 year old Mi A1. Both are still working good. But my main phone now is my turning 1 year old realme 5 pro.
my note 5 pro (whyred) works just as new
No, still using MUI. I was thinking of going with a custom ROM to see if I can squeeze a bit more lifespan into the phone, but I think it’s near time to just buy a new phone.
I’m not saying they always do, I’m saying they always should
Maybe you didn’t updated it or your theme is different.
My note 4 is on its death bed. Bottom of the screen is flickering and it shuts off at the slightest bump. 🙁
My 8t is, phones are meant to last you more than that, your point?
I am still on the original one and still holds up to 2 days of moderate usage. Im just a casual user..calls, social media and playing music while on transit.
I do remember it having more juice in the past but no need for me to replace it for now
redmi note 8 here 1 year and still working great 😊
Ive still got an og xperia x1 somewhere, slide out kb and all. An awkward transitional stage for sony Ericsson who ditched symbian uiq for windows mobile, it was made by htc.
Well thanks Xiaomi for making actually good phones in a budget price (looking at you, Huawei)
My Redmi Note 4 also is going for 3.5 years and still working great
Redmi 7 here. Hoping to get another year or two out of it.
What version of MiUI is it running? I’m curious.
Redmi Note 8 Pro,started on Christmas day of 2019. Works like a charm and I’m typing this right now with that phone.
Oooh, nvm 🙂 I misread you. I though you were saying the opposite of what you were actually saying. I actually agree with you, phones should last a long time.
My Mi Note 3 is 3 yrs now. Still kicking and feels like new except for the battery.
I mean, it’s just 2 years old, of course it should still be going.
Same here! My battery has 2334mah left from the original 3400mah. I’m not sure if I would buy a new battery as I don’t know how long the phone will last and I don’t wan’t to have a useless impact on environment by wasting a battery. I have around 4h SOT now, how’s yours? I’m interested how much different the new battery will make!
My redmi 5 is still going.
I had to reset mine because it didn’t want to cooperate at all and I have it since the summer of 2020
I have a custom rom (evolution X) wich shows it int the battery settings but there are apps that can show you your battery health
I’m still enjoying my xiaomi mi a1. I have lineageos on it and hoping to get a few more years out of it at least.
Still on stock ROM or have you swapped it for a custom ROM?
I have a Redmi Note 5, nearing 3 years already. Seriously never had any issues with it, still as good as new
Redmi note 4x still going and the battery lasts for a day,i just bought mi 10t pro because i wanted a new phone and i gave my old device to my father
Using my redmi note 2 atm
I bought a Redmi 9 and it was super slow. Slower than my Nexus 6. I then bought a Poco X3 and it was definitely a worthy upgrade.
Me too! But mine has started shutting off at 42%. Still love it though!
Actually really really good
Specific number of the Android version? If so,it should say in the About section of the Settings app.
Is a phone functioning for 2 years noteworthy now?
Everything is original i haven’t had to change anything
As ilica1407 said it Gboard
I want to see how long my phone lasts on its last official update. Could be MiUI 13 or 14
Note 8t..had almost a year.. Had to roll back to Android 9 MIUI 11 but apart from that all good.. No reason to upgrade anytime soon for my needs
4 years here on Redmi Note 3 pro
My poco F1 is still capable of games like asphalt 9 at max graphics
My redmi k20 pro still going strong. No notch, black OLED? What a beast.
My Redmi Note 4X is still going. I don’t get saying “it’s still going!” for hardware that isn’t at least 4 years old tbh. I mean even warranty is about 1-2 years these days
How is battery doing after 2 years?
