Chinese Brand Phones vs Mainline Android Phones

I have been investigating the flagship phones from the Chinese brands. Specifically looking at the Xiaomi Mi9T. I know it isn't quite as good as the 1plus offering, but wondering if anyone has any experience with these phones compared to the likes of other popular Android phones such as Samsung? The websites that compare performance seem to show they are fairly close.

FYI Only looking/comparing Android phones, not into iPhones.

Thanks!

Follow up... I just happened to be looking at my question history and remember this question. For the benefit of future readers, I purchased a Xiaomi Mi 9T. Have been very happy with it so far. I went with this over the Mi 9 because it has better battery life and half the price. The screen is great and I love that the entire face of the device is screen with no indents, although I worry that the popup selfie camera thing may break some day.

Two observations... One is that it is quite different from the Samsung phones I have used. I kind of assumed all Android phones would work the same, but functionality varies between manufacturers, apparently. The other is be sure to have a backup of data from the old phone to the cloud or PC. Not that anything happened, but it's always a good idea.
