Xiaomi phones and connecteddrive

I'm after a new phone and probably going to get one of these.
Any of you lot got one and if so does it work with Connecteddrive ok?
Mainly asking to see if Spotify connects ok.

Cheers

Bmw connected, android and spotify just don't go together. There's a big thread over on babybmw about all the troubles to get it to work.
I've got my Huawei almost working 100%, steering controls don't work with spotify and when browsing you need to re-enter the menu to get things to load. Also had to roll back spotify as latest version kept crashing.

Mine worked perfectly over bluetooth for the last 4 months but now is hit or miss.
My old Samsung S5 is on its' last legs so i need to upgrade. I dont like Apple stuff.
I also dont want to buy a phone that isnt compatible with the car.
Is Deezer a better option?
