Literally the perfect phone!
I've been using it for a month, the screen is amazing, the performance is satisfactory and the cameras are great.

Yes it is easy. All information is on the internet. Google is accessible for everybody too. It's a good combination to search an information about specific components.
"Second, despite it's IP68 rating, the display doesn't have Gorilla Glass Victus and it scratches very easily."
What water resistant has to do with glass on the phone?
And what's exactly wrong with xiaomi shield glass?
For the love of all that is holly can you just stop it with the stupid curved displays?

However, the camera / lens does not have enough depth of field which causes a major problem with focus even at its f/4. Second, despite it's IP68 rating, the display doesn't have Gorilla Glass Victus and it scratches very easily. Both problems are hardware related, so obviously can't be fixed. And it's a Flagship! There was no way to know these before buying it.
This is undoubtedly the best phone I have ever owned, with far and out, the best Display and Camera I've ever had. And I'm coming from a Pixel 6 Pro. The Camera however, is not for everyone as it does not produce perfect results without 'some' editing. Having said that, you could reduce contrast and adjust colour slightly quite easily but I'm a photographer, so I do serious editing on my phone and then it looks amazing. And I love doing that! The display is fabulous with even Pro (soft) calibration options which is great! Cons: The glass is not Gorilla Glass Victus (forget GGV2) and it scratches easily. I would guess that this is because of it's unique, lovely, all around bezel, maybe Corning couldn't make it out of GG Victus... ? Then, the software seriously needs improvement, especially with image processing. Sometimes I don't have time to edit photos. Battery life is fine, not super great but it sees me through the day. The camera bump is VERY big and this is occasionally awkward. The super-innovative Camera Kit is not available here plus it's expensive. Last, Xiaomi (in India) are not helpful. They just sell. Ask their staff any questions and they don't know the answers. But bottom line, having said all that, the Pros far outweigh the Cons and I love this phone!
Whob whob, 04 Jun 2024Maybe this is a dumb question but will a china ROM have multiple languages available in settings? I had a k20 pro and the china ROM had Chinese and English only. some Google stuff did not work like google pay

zillion, 28 May 2024Leica compared to zeiss? You must be got drunk, blind and hallusinated. LolMy opinion having owned both devices and tested them side by side.
The vivo is the clear winner

BigDisplay, 27 May 2024Hey folks
Want to kick my S24 Ultra with this beauty... Or should I take the 14 Pro instead... moreStock camera experience is better on xiaomi but if you use gcam then samsung with all features are better choice.
Of course xiaomi charging is insanely fast compared to samsung

Hey folks
Want to kick my S24 Ultra with this beauty... Or should I take the 14 Pro instead.
I'll get one with the EU rom which have baked in call recorder etc.
Is it worth it?
Are the battery time okay now?
Moseskk, 22 Apr 2024I need your advice xiaomi 14 Ultra, Samsung S24 Ultra and Sony 1 V, what is the best of all 3 ... moreJust stick to a Nokia 8. These flagships are horrible value in the African Market.
Does it do sweep panoramas with its ultrawide lens is the key question everyone needs to answer before buying any new phone, IMHO.
Not a word in this review, or any I have seen in many months of reading new phone reviews.
I search because its my thing to do with a phone that cameras do not do, but since 2018 and 16mm Ultrawides, no new phone appearing in the quad bayer era does them, it would seem.
And I need at least the 25MP resolution I get from my old Note 10's 108MP Samsung sensor (but it cannot do pans wuith its ultrawide either...)
This leaves us with the 12MP resolution the Nokia N8 sported in 2008 at hugely hiked prices... with $K video and adequate low-light shots as alternatives to better still photograhs and panoramas. Odd.

razon, 22 May 2024what about the shutter lag that dxomark reports? based on that test it is similar to S24 ultra... moreI doubt you can tell yourself that you know how to shoot pictures if you trust dxomark. It's full of cr**. Whoever pays more gets more points.
razon, 22 May 2024what about the shutter lag that dxomark reports? based on that test it is similar to S24 ultra... moreHave not experienced any shutter lag in the month, or so, I am using it. The only thing I have observed is somewhat longer processing time in some night photos. Other than that, I am extremely happy with it in terms of photography: Natural colours, quick focus, clear pictures with amazing details when zoomed.
It's an excellent phone overall with a top-notch screen and speakers. The only thing that is average is battery life and of course HyperOS (and related update policy) is not everyone's cup of tea.
