aaur4man Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) muahaha. i dunno about FM radio but i will only choose Redmi note 11 out of the three with a very simple reason - Snapdragon 680. phones equipped with Snapdragon chipsets generally have smoother performance and (much,much) more OS updates. also Snapdragon xiaomi phones have much better chance of getting custom ROM made so u can ditch MIUI and go with pixel-like vanilla experience, bringing out the full potential of the phone. also xiaomi advantage is its easy to unlock the phone for flashing. others, either not as easy or impossible. Sony i recall was able to. i have a POCO F3 coming soon, and its probably time to write a guide how to flash a typical xiaomi phone. my current redmi working perfectly fine and zippy on pixel rom, just wanted to go for flagship 8 series Snapdragon. muahaha.
