My wife's mi 10 ultra bought last year has had zero issues. Everything working smoothly.
My mi 11 Ultra is serving me great without any issues.
She switched from iPhone 11 & I switched from Galaxy Note 9.
We are extremely satisfied with Xiaomi smartphones and looking forward to what the company has to offer in the future.

    HaterzSuckkkkk, 02 Nov 2021"Why nobody buys LG phones" Is just MKHBD's ... morePoint taken, I still like the detachable DualScreen case solution a lot more than the Wing 5G's built-in second screen. However, Wing 5G still wins me because of its gimbal implementation. They didn't just simply put a dedicated ultrawide camera and apply gimbal stabilization to it, but they also brought the whole gimbal stick user experience to it. Since I got a Wing 5G, my Zhiyun gimbal stick is currently dusting on the shelf. I now use the Wing for mobile videography more than either my Lumia 950 or my V50 with that Zhiyun gimbal stick.

    While I personally have no problem with 765G since it can run Screen+ Desktop Mode with no performance loss, I do think that 865 would be a better choice considering its status as an Explorer Project smartphone.

          Most people commenting about sony have never seen or used a sony phone. The taste of the pudding is in the eating. Have a hands on before you say bla bla bla

            AnonD-1024704, 03 Nov 2021But 99% of them So think like thisIf that was the case, Xiaomi wouldn't have the most growth in the last two years.

                    It is great to see Sony tend to their fans and especially their creators. Although this phone cost 1799USD, it is not far off an iphone 13 pro max while at the same time offer the best camera you can find on a smartphone. Not to mention 4k 120hz display, and other cameras as well. Take away the value of a RX-100 in there, its still worth a USD600 phone which has a snapdragon 888 and 4k 120Hz. So in the eyes of fans and creators, it could work as both your daily device and professional device. It's a win-win in my eyes.

                      People are happy with their devices and i cant complain here at all.
                      Even i prefer stock android over any UI but is not that bad.
                      Thus to my honest opinion.
                      Many other companies have even worse UI.

                          Where is the option for:
                          "Yes. I have zero need for it, but I think it's pretty cool, and modern flagships are already so expensive, I might as well just go all in."

                              What I don't understand is this, 12mp 2.4um on a 1in sensor. The GN2 is 1/1.12 or 0.89" an 2.8um at 12.5mp So why isn't this 1in sensor really closer to 3.0um per pixel or is this a 16-18mp sensor with a 12mp crop, and you don't use the full sensor?

                                      And not only do those things not justify the price, but the price is extremely unjustified once it comes to all the other areas it's years behind in.

                                        If they really were so bad then please explain me how a by your words bad manufacturer with stupid UI and problematic software would and should be the best seller of the year.
                                        With most phones sold nowdays.
                                        I am listening.
