My wife came home with a fancy new contract Samsung A54. I think my Redmi Note 9T wanted to make me feel better and after 8 months of no updates :

So far I'm quite happy with the Note 12 Pro 4g - pretty decent upgrade over the Note 8 Pro - where my battery was flat by midday, this one is still going strong at 60%, seems to hit about 30% at bed time (10pm-ish)

Also nice to have a phone that doesn't lock up 4-6x a day
 
I might need to upgrade in 2024 - however I need something Snapdragonish as I don't want to be left in this Mediatek-no-LineageOS state again in a couple of years time.
 
Damn Google Pay seems to be screwed forever now on XIAOMI.EU MIUI 14.

Story of my life - left it on my wifes car roof this morning - it fell off the roof 2km away.

I ran after it - my wife turned around and came back - met me at the 2km mark - a guy walking there told us a white guy in a WHITE bantam bakkie picked it up.... fortunately I now had my wifes phone and could track him... eventually it stopped at Builder's Warehouse...

No one was answering the phone, and the accuracy was 50m2, either at Builder's or in a complex across the road - I was sitting on the sidewalk trying to phone myself - and was about to give up - then realised my watch had reconnected to the phone, and the call was coming through on my watch, so it was within 10m, just by chance - I was sitting right next to the SILVER bantam bakkie it was in :p The owner came out of Builder's and knew exactly why I was there... he was quite surprised how fast I'd tracked him done.

Fortunately the cover that came with the phone saved it from any serious damage - just a tiny ding.
 
What a piece of shiiite the latest update is ,Miui 14 sucks its intrusive and absolutely ruins the whole phone ,buying an S23 and shooting this thing up with a pellet gun ,now cannot turnoff wallpaper carousel ,i dont want crap on my phone even though its toggled off something else will appear like short videos and adverts ,what a tosser of a phone .
 
Where do you see videos and ads? I often see people on Reddit complain of this, but being on my 4th Xiaomi model I find the complaints confusing, as I have never had this. And wallpaper carousel can be turned off at Settings/Lock Screen/Wallpaper Carousel on mine.

Sorry I thought you're complaining about Carousel. Swipe right for Mi Remove/Torch has been a thing forever. I have never managed to swipe when double-tapping the screen though, hardly seems like a software issue.
