## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Xiaomi brings a truly brilliant offering! - After almost going through a month of research & already having used flagships from OnePlus & Samsung, I decided to go for this beast. I will try to give a genuine review, but it will be long as I prefer details. 1. 'Xiaomi? itne mein to Iphone mil jata' - I have used Android my whole life & don't have any major issues for a switch to a different OS. I believe apple devices are definitely good, but the premium is very high for the same tech. For the same price one will get iPhone 14 128 gb, which has an inferior screen, smaller size & lower camera capability (will come to that). Whenever a brand tries to enter a new segment, it has to offer better value & here Xiaomi has clearly shown that. It had previously tried 11 Ultra too in India, which again was a top flagship but had limited availability. I am not obsessed with brands & only look at the value offerings for the price. Xiaomi has nailed it here 2. Best competitors? - This phone is compared to the S23 Ultra in most reviews, which I still consider the best android money can buy currently. S23 U offers a similar screen, performance & battery & has better ecosystem support (DEX, UI, Pen, and Accessories support), but the price difference is too high for incremental gains. When it comes to the camera, the performance is brilliant, but it will always be subjective. I can certainly say it is on par with S23 U & Iphone pro models. OP11 also has been a huge upgrade from oneplus but at just 10K more, 13 pro offers a considerably better camera & design (again subjective). 3. No Gimmicks - The trust factor at this price point for a brand like Xiaomi was my biggest concern initially, but Xiaomi has ensured to cover it all. For a start, Samsung & Apple have built expertise in camera systems & catching up to them was still a big task for other brands. Unlike the gimmicky color balance partnership of Hasselblad with OP, Xiaomi not only co-engineered the primary sensor with Leica, but it also worked with sony for the main sensor. Last time when Leica partnered with Huawei, the output was the world's best smartphone camera (check DXO mark). Overall, it's refined to the best, which one surely wants for this price. Battery life & charging speed combination surpasses S23U & 14 Pro. Snapdragon has finally caught up with 8 Gen 2 with superior performance & huge efficiency gains as compared to Bionic chips making this device a performance powerhouse. A quick pro & con which maybe not be covered by others: Pros - 1. Feel & built (Ceramic makes a huge difference) 2. Design - I love the clean & subtle design. Some will argue for the huge camera bump, but the same people love the huge module of apple devices, HYPOC... Anyways, good camera hardware requires space 3. UI - I actually like the clean MIUI 14, contrary to reviewers putting it as a con. It uses less space than Samsung os, doesn't have bloatware (Netflix is not bloatware!) and is fast. Xiaomi has also offered 3-5 years of software support ensuring no compromises on latest android releases 4. Performance, display, camera, battery life - Just no need to worry, you are getting the best 5. Fkin Charger!!! - Ask the people paying 1 lakh+ for other brands & not getting a charger. For me, this Apple-incited practice of not giving chargers is just an exploitative behaviour to extract more from customers & I appreciate Xiaomi for still giving such a premium 120W hypercharger along with a case with the phone. Cons- My Dopamine levels are under control after 10 days so won't be saying "Sab badhiya hai' 1. Accessories- I am not able to find a good case/cover for this which is easily available for Samsung & Oneplus devices. Xiaomi needs to look into it or at least provide its own accessories like Samsung 2. Swipe actions are not smooth due to the curved display - It becomes difficult to use sometimes with the case 3. Ip 68 ratings? - Xiaomi has verbally confirmed it, but not mentioned in the specs (Pani mein dalun ya nai?) 4. It's heavy! Few missed points- - This device sells for almost 1.1 lakhs in Europe, a price similar to S23 U. This actually makes it a no-brainer deal for Indians. ( Indians have to pay a similar premium for Apple devices ) - Some reviewers have complained about the front camera - I felt the camera is decent & clicks good photos with a slight whitish tone & no 4k recording, which isn't a deal breaker for me. - The box mentions 'Made in India' which I feel will mostly mean fully assembled in India, but it's still better than direct imports Hope the review helps you!
Review: Came for the cameras, stayed for the whole package - I'm reviewing this after 10 days of use, so far so good! I was looking for a new phone in the 40-50k price range. I was open to both iOS and android. Xiaomi was certainly not on my list of phone manufacturers I was looking at but that changed when I learnt of this phone with the Leica collab, triple camera setup and the latest one inch sensor from Sony. This is certainly above my price range but at the same time, it is priced far lower in India than most other markets which sweetened the deal. Here are a few of my observations: 1> Display: Curved glass is a pain frankly. Finding good tempered glass and case is always a problem. On the other hand, the brightness is great, the colours too. The colour scheme defaults to vivid. I changed it to 'original' and made the colour temperature a little warmer. Dynamic refresh rate is good. The WQHD resolution drains the battery and my untrained eyes can't really tell the difference from FHD. I noticed a bit of glue sticking out of the display, that was a bit disappointing and worrying for such an expensive phone. Probably also means it is not water resistant. There is no Ingress Protection rating on the box. 2>Touch: Getting accidental touches at the edges but there is a setting to minimise this. Haptics are excellent when typing even at low setting. 3>Speakers: Loud, feels comparable to other flagships. 4>Battery: Can get through a whole day for sure and the charging is fast if you leave the phone alone for a bit. 5>MIUI 14: Spammy notifications (which can be turned off) from default apps of which there are many. Haven't come across ads although I've hardly used the default apps. Those concerned about privacy may want to read the T&Cs closely. I'm using the Niagara minimalist launcher which works really well here (although gesture navigation doesn't work with third party launchers). 6>Cameras: The bump is massive! Even with a case, I managed to put scratches on the camera glass within a week. The camera app is well laid out, you can customise what modes you want to see and in what order. There are plenty of modes including 'supermoon' (for which Samsung has been getting a lot of bad press). I'll preface my views on the photos that this phone captures by acknowledging that I am a bit of a Fujifilm and Leica fanboy, so take the rest of this review with a pinch of salt. The colour tuning in 'Leica authentic' profile is brilliant with the main camera taking the cake. When you transition between ultra wide and wide, you will notice a colour shift which is off putting. The telephoto lens is hands down my favourite of the three, I can read a sign 30-40 meters away, at the same time it takes wallpaper worthy macros. The main camera takes in a lot of light so you never really need night mode. Also the camera app comes with Leica 'master lens' portrait modes. Each mode corresponds to a fixed focal length. My favourite is the 35mm B&W which makes everything look classy. Videos in 4k come out well but there it struggles to focus quickly. The front camera is quite poor in resolution, colours, hdr, you don't want to use it for anything other than low res video calls. TLDR: Surprisingly good phone, especially the cameras. India might be the cheapest market to pick this up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came for the cameras, stayed for the whole package
*by P***T on 21 March 2023*

I'm reviewing this after 10 days of use, so far so good! I was looking for a new phone in the 40-50k price range. I was open to both iOS and android. Xiaomi was certainly not on my list of phone manufacturers I was looking at but that changed when I learnt of this phone with the Leica collab, triple camera setup and the latest one inch sensor from Sony. This is certainly above my price range but at the same time, it is priced far lower in India than most other markets which sweetened the deal. Here are a few of my observations: 1> Display: Curved glass is a pain frankly. Finding good tempered glass and case is always a problem. On the other hand, the brightness is great, the colours too. The colour scheme defaults to vivid. I changed it to 'original' and made the colour temperature a little warmer. Dynamic refresh rate is good. The WQHD resolution drains the battery and my untrained eyes can't really tell the difference from FHD. I noticed a bit of glue sticking out of the display, that was a bit disappointing and worrying for such an expensive phone. Probably also means it is not water resistant. There is no Ingress Protection rating on the box. 2>Touch: Getting accidental touches at the edges but there is a setting to minimise this. Haptics are excellent when typing even at low setting. 3>Speakers: Loud, feels comparable to other flagships. 4>Battery: Can get through a whole day for sure and the charging is fast if you leave the phone alone for a bit. 5>MIUI 14: Spammy notifications (which can be turned off) from default apps of which there are many. Haven't come across ads although I've hardly used the default apps. Those concerned about privacy may want to read the T&Cs closely. I'm using the Niagara minimalist launcher which works really well here (although gesture navigation doesn't work with third party launchers). 6>Cameras: The bump is massive! Even with a case, I managed to put scratches on the camera glass within a week. The camera app is well laid out, you can customise what modes you want to see and in what order. There are plenty of modes including 'supermoon' (for which Samsung has been getting a lot of bad press). I'll preface my views on the photos that this phone captures by acknowledging that I am a bit of a Fujifilm and Leica fanboy, so take the rest of this review with a pinch of salt. The colour tuning in 'Leica authentic' profile is brilliant with the main camera taking the cake. When you transition between ultra wide and wide, you will notice a colour shift which is off putting. The telephoto lens is hands down my favourite of the three, I can read a sign 30-40 meters away, at the same time it takes wallpaper worthy macros. The main camera takes in a lot of light so you never really need night mode. Also the camera app comes with Leica 'master lens' portrait modes. Each mode corresponds to a fixed focal length. My favourite is the 35mm B&W which makes everything look classy. Videos in 4k come out well but there it struggles to focus quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Hardware, Pathetic Software.
*by K***A on 24 September 2023*

GREAT PROs: 1. Awesome camera and picture quality. Very snappy pictures. 2. Consistent security updates/patches. PROs: 1. Good call quality. 2. Good reception. 3. Good stereo speakers. 4. IP68 Waterproof, important if you have kids. GREAT CONs: 1. Pathetic Software. Work Profile DOES NOT Work properly. It keeps turning the app categories back on (recently fixed with software update). 2. Does not let Antivirus in work profile work, Microsoft Defender in my case. Does not let disable battery optimization, so office mails won't sync which is what I spend 90% of my time on mobile for. Currently running with a hack which keeps stopping. So not useful for me. My very old 13K Samsung had perfect software experience though it was slow as its very old. CONs: 1. Heavy phone, if you are watching videos you will start to feel it. Even during long calls. 2. Heating issue, not during charging but when using camera especially video or watching youtube videos. After taking 2.5 minutes video I stopped as it became a little hot even with the case. Not that I couldn't hold it but just being cautious. WEIRD: Battery drains during night when I am not doing anything. Not sure why. Same amount of idle time during day has no effect. May be some optimization runs during night. Don't really know. Drain from 100% -> 1 hour of call with bluetooth headset, 1%. -> 30 min of camera usage, not continuous video but some videos, photos etc, around 15%. -> 10:30PM in night to 8:00AM in the morning idle time, 18%. The software experience on this is very bad, not useful for a professional. So switching my phone.
