What should I buy? I'm buying via network carrier so these are my two only options in this price range.

So far I've watch 10+ reviews for both of them and they seem like great phones, but I don't know which one to pick. Xiaomi is about $85 (75 euros) cheaper, but Samsung has better screen.

I was leaning towards Samsung, but I've read alot of complains about it like battery drain, overheating, WiFi disconnecting etc. Also I've read that Samsung mid-range phones go slow after a while and the developer support is poor. As for Xiaomi, I've read that there are ads in it. Never had Samsung nor Xiaomi so I don't know about that.

I'll be using phone for internet browsing, YouTube, music, maybe some light gaming, nothing demanding. Camera does not interest me at all.

I have been using a Samsung smartphone for about 4 years... Actually, I haven't had any issue with it expects its age. Also, mobile data on Samsung causes rapid battery drainage and I think it is common for every smartphone as it doesn't happen the same when using Wi-Fi. That's my personal experience. On the other hand, I've not used Xiaomi. But, I listened to some positive reviews from its user as continues updates, battery power and hard using.:)
