Hi everyone. Back in 2019 I bought a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro at release. Now the charging port, software and battery are starting to cause some serious issues, which is why I am looking to get a new phone. After some search the Motorola Edge 50 Neo seemed to be a good candidate, with a good mix of decent price/performance and not being Xiaomi (I hate the OS). Now to my actual question: Looking at benchmarks, it seems like my Mi 9T Pro has roughly the same performance as the Edge 50 neo, if not better. Am I reading that correctly? Would I not see an improvement in performance with this “upgrade”? Is a rather top tier phone from ~5.5 years ago comparable to a mid ranger from today?

Any input or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    lineageOS supports Mi 9T. (Not sure if it includes the pro version)

    i was thinking of getting a 9T to install lineage. There aren’t many phones without the front camera :(

      Yeah, but it seems like this is not for the Pro version. There are some ROMs on XDA, including an unofficial LineageOS one, but at least for me the days of running custom ROMs on my daily driver are over.
