    blue.sun, 18 May 2021Based on what exactly? Your oppinion or your love for Xiaomi? Don’t bother with cheap quality Xiaomi phones. The Zenfone 8 is probably an excellent phone already.

        I am from Estonia, and i still have no Volte and Vowifi, but in settings i can see these feature, but cant activate... Have to wait update, because voice call is poooorrr

          Anonymous, 18 May 2021I dont get these updates on phones that are not even out in... moreBecause developpers work hard, respect deadline, and some of the features are not finished also not crucial, so they flash the firmware on the phones, shipo them to retail, and then it's to late to ship them with the new firmware, so the release an update.

            I dont get these updates on phones that are not even out in the market for most part of the world and these fix problems. Like why dont these phones already have all of the features and fixes done out of the box ?

              blue.sun, 17 May 2021A good joke! :-D It's truth. Mi11 Ultra is the best camera phone right now available on this planet.
              S21 Ultra, ZTE Axon 30 Ultra, Oppo Find X3 Pro, Vivo X60 Pro Plus are other ones.

In a period of release after release such step will be praiseworthy. Noone has time for optimize software except Pixel(These days even Oxygen OS is buggy). I hope custom roms takes android to a new level in next five years.

                        Very interested to see how much the camera was improved. The pre-release software was not very good, images looked too dark. I want to like this phone but so far the camera has held it back for me.

                          blue.sun, 17 May 2021A good joke! :-D Joke errr, it is the best out there right now... No matter what you and I think.
                          I have the S21 ultra, okay phone, but not the best to 👍🏻
