Hi! Thanks for the great article!
Could you please test the anti flicker (dc dimming) feature that Xiaomi introduces with each oled device?

How bright is the notification LED, is it white-only as is the case these days for Xiaomi and does it actually work for obscure third party apps of the user's choice or only for certain Xiaomi-whitelisted apps?

I was quite keen to get this one when it was first announced but then the Note 8 Pro came out, at a lower price, so I went for that instead.

LED is multi color and works with Spotify, not sure about others..

Really liking the device so far!

hello i have 4 questions about the device mi 9 lite:
1) Does it support micro sd cards in ex-FAT format?
2) Does it support USB OTG?
3) If you have the global version can you tell me if the software MIUI on that device show ads?
4) What settings require internet connection to be changed?

If are willing to pay a premium (>2K$) you can get a laptop with 144hz or 300hz screen of 4K resoluution and higher peak brightness. SSD is practically in all >mid laptops as well as >8gb rab (which you can increase). So, unless you are talking about <500USD laptops, they can provide lot of power for the money, and of course games not available for smartphones.
