I’m sorry but are you seriously saying Xiaomi is better privacy wise than Samsung? I had one and you literally had to accept the terms of service to use the fucking calculator because it collected data on you.

Lol. The irony of recommending a Chinese brand over Samsung because of concerns of what they’ll do with your data/wanting control is hilarious.
Samsung might shut down your phone remotely. Xiaomi does give your data over to Chinese government. I would pick Samsung over Xiaomi any day.

Oops. Sorry buddy! I don’t use MIUI native/built-in apps. I disabled it right away through ADB.
