Xiaomi has a huge number of phones in its catalog. If we take into account only those shown by the official website of the brand in Spain, we can count up to 27 different models. In this 2019, the options that are worth taking into account are fewer, but still they can overwhelm the average user, who only entered the page to see which Xiaomi mobile to buy in 2019 and finds a hodgepodge of terminals in which it is difficult to separate the grain from the chaff.
And we enter those. We are going to make, below, a guide of all the Xiaomi phones that we can buy in 2019 and that are worth it, giving clues so that each one has their own depending on their needs. Because not everyone needs a Xiaomi Mi 9 for 500 euros, right? In addition, we must bear in mind that Xiaomi is a brand specialized in breastfeeding in the mid-range, so the options increase, adding more indecision to the matter.
Xiaomi phones in 2019: buying guide
Entry range: for the least demanding
We start with the most basic of the Xiaomi catalog. We recommend these terminals for that type of user who does not care a little about the mobile phone but cannot do without it since they use WhatsApp to communicate with their relatives. The perfect gift for that family member who is far from technology and is suspicious of all that about social networks.
Redmi go
Date of appearance on the market: February 2019
The best thing about this terminal is that it comes with a pre-installed Android Go operating system. This is a special layer of Android, designed so that less powerful mobiles work perfectly. The Redmi Go is a 5.5-inch mobile, HD resolution, Snapdragon 425 processor accompanied by 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, 8-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera, 3,000 mAh battery and FM radio. All this for about 70 euros on Amazon.
Redmi 7A
Date of appearance on the market: June 2019
The other low cost alternative of the Xiaomi brand is this Redmi 7A that differs from the previous one in that its design is a little more modern with tight frames, it has a superior processor although still on the border of the input range (Snapdragon 429) and higher RAM and storage (2 + 16 GB or 2 + 32 GB). Regarding its photographic section, we find a 12-megapixel main camera and 5-megapixel selfie with face unlock. Its battery is 4,000 mAh and it has FM Radio. The price of this Redmi 7A is around 85 euros on Amazon. For a difference of 15 euros, we recommend buying this terminal instead of the previous one, since it offers more for very little extra money.
Mid-range 'Low Cost'
The mid-range is increasingly undefined, especially at the time when there are terminals that reach, or even exceed, a thousand euros in stores. The mid-range, at present, can range from terminals that do not reach 200 euros in price (and they are mid-range more for benefits than for their cost in stores) to almost 700 euros for a terminal such as the Samsung Galaxy A80. Xiaomi is also not far behind, finding 'mid-range' terminals that range between the 165 of the Redmi Note 7 and the 330 of the Xiaomi Mi 9T.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
In-store date: January 2019
In what we have decided to call 'low cost mid-range' we find a clear winner, a terminal that has given excellent results in its own reviews, such as the Redmi Note 7, which currently costs about 165 euros. 6.3-inch screen, Full HD + resolution and an all-screen design with a drop-shaped notch. Snapdragon 630 processor and 4GB of RAM plus two available storage versions, 64 or 128 GB. In the photographic section we find a 48 megapixel and 5 megapixel double rear camera as well as a 13 megapixel selfie camera. The battery that we find is 4,000 mAh and we also have an FM radio. This mobile is highly recommended for those who want an infinite screen design and a double camera for a low price.
The price of this Redmi Note 7, in 4 GB version, we find it for 165 euros on Amazon.
Mid-range 'Premium'
In this section we are going to discuss a terminal that involves a greater financial outlay but is still within what we know as ' mid-range '.
Xiaomi Mi 9T
All screen (AMOLED made by Samsung) without notches, front camera that appears like a periscope, a battery that performs very well, a powerful processor that looks from you to you to the high end and a triple rear camera that covers wide angle and telephoto. In this link you can see a thorough analysis of this terminal that, on Amazon, you can buy it at a price of 324.81 euros. This terminal is recommended for those who want to try new things on a mobile, value the screen section a lot and like to play with their camera.
High-end
Xiaomi Mi 9
Of the terminals that make up the high-end in Xiaomi (we can also find the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 with 5G version) in your expert we recommend this because it can be obtained at a good price and has the most powerful Snapdragon processor launched to date, the one that has by number 855. It is a lightweight terminal, with a construction in premium materials, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, triple rear camera with wide angle and telephoto lens, 20 megapixel selfie camera, 3,300 mAh battery with fast charge and charging wireless and NFC for mobile payments for a price of 433 euros on Amazon.
