Lmao. I can never understand some accounts are just extremely dedicated to just anti-china or anti-russia propaganda and people are just swallowing their shit without any questions.

This brought back memories of the times my uncle dragged me into pool. Now I'm a chain smoker and an alcoholic with a beer gut but I still suck at pool

I had the end call issue on my older phones Redmi 5A but it only happens on the whatsapp. Normal calls are just fine for the 5A. The A series are the cheaper models, it costs about $100. Now I'm using a Redmi 9. None of those issues anymore.
When it comes to bloatware, I'm fine with it since I don't install any heavy duty apps on my phone. I just have whatsapp, telegram, 2 games, 2 shopping apps and a few work related apps.
I'm writing this not to convince you, it's just people are so hardcore negative when it comes to China brands that they become an free anti-campaigners without actually using the products.
Some of you may be using Iphones or Samsung but for me I can't afford those luxuries, this cheap phone saved me when I was so broke and it helped me tremendously on numerous occasions when doing part time jobs and my full time.

But then this is reddit, go ahead an downvote me for my experience using Redmi. Damn the hateboner for anything remotely Chinese is insane.

I have a Redmi and have owned a few, when they first came out a few geeky tech guys at my work were laughing at me saying the same thing you did. Fast forward a few years they bought Redmi phones for the company and are using Xiaomi TVs.
Sure they're not perfect or as good as top brands out there but they aren't as bad as you make them seem. Plus they're cheap. The only downside as far as I know is the ads that come with the built in cleanup.
But what do I know, I've only been using a few. Perhaps you can shed some light on it exploding?
