That said, there seems to be some people talking about controller issues on Xiaomi phones, but I can't seem to open Reddit to look into it. The thread is called:
"New POCO F3, can't find Xbox one controller on bluetooth"
I checked mine and it's model 1708. As for whether it'll work well with your phone, I can't say for sure, since I've never owned a Xiaomi device (I've stuck with LG or OnePlus since Android became common), but it has never failed me once on my phones. My only gripe with it is the lack of a battery indicator, it just up and dies on me when the batteries run out. I use it with AA batteries, but I think it behaves the same way with the official rechargeable battery pack. Clips to hold the phone are also more widely available and cheaper than those for the DS4. Those pairing difficulties may be due to the rather unintuitive way to pair the controller, though I haven't seen the actual threads.
