What to consider when choosing a Xiaomi phone

Xiaomi's smartphones don't skimp on features. From pop-up selfie cameras and in-screen fingerprint readers to support for 5G mobile networks, there's a lot to keep in mind when comparing the various models on the market. To help you, we've highlighted some of the key considerations below:

• Internal storage

  Most Xiaomi phones don't come with microSD card slots, meaning you can't easily add extra storage down the track. That's why it's important to choose a phone with sufficient internal storage to meet your needs.

• Screen size

  Xiaomi's phones typically trend towards the larger end of the spectrum, boasting displays of six inches and larger. This makes them well-suited to watching videos, playing games and other entertainment purposes. At the same time, they can be awkward to operate for people with smaller hands and might be too big to fit in your pocket. Bear this in mind when looking at the larger Xiaomi smartphones.

• Price

  Most Xiaomi smartphones offer mid- to high-end performance and features with a price tag to match. You can expect to pay anywhere from around $400 for one of Xiaomi's older, mid-range handsets all the way up to $1,500 for the latest flagship models.

• Headphone jack

  Like many premium smartphone manufacturers these days, Xiaomi has abandoned the 3.5mm headphone jack in favour of slimmer and sleeker designs. To compensate, most Xiaomi handsets come with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box, letting you connect a regular pair of wired headphones to the USB-C port instead. Alternatively, Xiaomi smartphones support Bluetooth for connecting wireless headphones, too.

• Security options

  If you're concerned about your phone falling into the wrong hands, you'll be happy to know that Xiaomi's latest smartphones all include fingerprint sensors for locking out unauthorised users more effectively than a simple PIN. Better yet, the latest Xiaomi handsets incorporate the fingerprint sensor into the screen itself, saving you from fumbling with a rear-mounted sensor.

• Camera quality

  High-quality cameras are a fixture among premium smartphones and Xiaomi doesn't disappoint here. Multi-lens camera arrays power most of its modern handsets, with some lenses sporting resolutions as high as 48MP. The front-facing "selfie" camera is often especially powerful on Xiaomi's smartphones, with plenty of AI optimisations to help out folks who don't want to mess around with exposure settings manually.

• Network speed and support

  Xiaomi was one of the first smartphone manufacturers to offer a 5G-compatible handset in Australia, edging out the competition by charging hundreds of dollars less for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G than phones like the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G or the Oppo Reno 5G. This gives Xiaomi Australia a distinct advantage for folks wanting the highest Internet speeds currently available on a mobile device.

• Fast charging

  All Xiaomi's recent phones support some form of fast charging, though there are some important differences to watch out for. The charger included with Xiaomi's phones can vary in wattage from 10W up to 20W or higher, with larger values leading to shorter charge times.

  Some handsets also support wireless charging, or even fast wireless charging, which can be especially useful if you're tired of carrying around tangled cables all the time.

• Battery life

  With Xiaomi's phones sporting large screens and powerful processors, a big battery is a must. Fortunately, most handsets include batteries with at least 3,000mAh capacity and typically deliver a full day of use off a single charge.

• Waterproof design

  If your phone spends a lot of time near spillable liquids, you'll want to think carefully before purchasing a Xiaomi phone. No Xiaomi handsets currently offer official water resistance, so there's a chance any contact with water or other liquids could cause serious damage.

  If you want to compare phones that do offer water resistance, check out our guide to waterproof phones.

• Performance

  Power is in ample supply under the hood of Xiaomi's smartphones. Most handsets feature the latest high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon processors available at the time of manufacture, ensuring that they can handle virtually any task you throw at them. Combined with a healthy supply of RAM, Xiaomi's phones offer performance up there with the best Android handsets.

Which Xiaomi phone is best?

Picking a single Xiaomi smartphone as "the best" is not really practical, as your specific needs and budget will dictate which handset is most appropriate for your situation. Instead, we've selected our favourite Xiaomi smartphone based on our experience in the industry testing and reviewing phones in Australia. You'll want to factor in your own preferences when considering our reasoning to ensure it's the right phone for you.
