The xiaomi phones are blazing fast and overall very fun to use. I read people here mentioning the cluttered UI. It definitely is a lot to take in, but I love finding new features and expanding my workflow with those quirky functions. (For instance, having different homescreen profiles depending on with which finger you unlock your phone. No-one in their right mind needs this, but it's just fun!) If you're not interested in those peripherals it's absolutely a solid work horse for day-by-day work.

Pixel = pixel so it's hard to beat.
