That's what made me switch from Xiaomi to Samsung. I had a poco F1 until I upgraded it to the F3 (F1 is still going strong, gave it to my stepdad after replacing the battery) but the software experience was dreadful. Updates were few and far between, and I had an issue with notification bubbles being cut in half that was really annoying, and all the dev blogs said it was a known issue, and a fix would come "soon".

Had 0 software issues with my S21, I complain about the battery a lot, but I knew what I was buying because I wanted a small phone. Already on android 13, and Samsung releases updates regularly, last one somehow made my cameras a bit better, believe it or not! Only thing I miss is the macro mode I had on the poco F3, that the regular S21 does not have.

So far the only issue I had with Xiaomi was that I would break the charging port after a few years and then would attempt to change it myself. On Redmi note 3 I ordered the wrong piece but I only learned about it when the same thing broke on Redmi note 7. If I noticed it I might have still been using that phone. The phones are cheap but good although they prob last somewhere between 3 to 5 years. Redmi note 3 lasted me for 3 years,7 is around 3 and still going. I don't really have a reason to upgrade and the phone is still running alright.

Yeah, ordering parts for xiaomi phones is a pain in the ass because they release about 378 billion different models every year, who all are similarly named, like mi 10, redmi 10, redmi note 10, then pro/lite variants, then for some reason they introduced the t models, there's the regular t, there's the t Pro, fucking hell...
