              Without OIS on tele even for the Pro version? What were you thinking, Xiaomi? And sensor size on Tele and superwide is 1/2.57? So small for today flagship standard!

                Do not compare prices of carriers or any promotion if you sign contracts.

                No non-chinese (except motorola that is owned by Lenovo) can make sub-$450 with oled, 120Hz, 8GB/256GB, ufs3.1.
                It is not about low profit margin. It is about lower costs of materials. If any OeM can save $1 per component, it makes huge difference.

                Apple pays $80 for Full HD/60Hz/8bit screen used by iphone 13.
                Be sure it costs much more than many Full HD/120Hz used by cheaper phones.

                  Dimensity 9000 = $100
                  Snapdragon 8G1 = $120
                  Snapdragon 865 = $160

                  No excuse to keep using 865 at higher clock disguised as 870.

So yeah, do you think Xiaomi can sell a competitive Flip for less when they have to source all the key components from Samsung? TCL wisely realised what was going to happen once Samsung announced the Flip3 with abilities and price tag, so they dumped their warehouse of plastic Flip competitor in a giant landfill the week it was supposed to launch.

                          There is no excuse.

                          Ask any photographer. Best cameras are medium format.

                          12MP 1.4 micron is inferior compared to 64MP 0.9 micron.
                          Samsung has used both.
                          Also, the photos out of the 29mm are better than the 25mm, if you use S21.

                            hi guys,

                            in my country xiaomi is in great demand because of very good specifications and affordable prices, but what is lacking is how to make xiaomi products look even more elegant. I, as a bo togel terpercaya lover, really appreciate your progress.

                                  Xiaomi always making mistakes by ignoring minute details.
                                  WTF is SNOY IMX766.
                                  Same thing with their phones, I use a RN10PRO, a very good phone, but little things like low quality screenshot. freezing dialer and proximity sensor failing pisses me off.
                                  You can do better XIAOMI!

                                    Anonymous, 29 Dec 2021From where did you get the info about screen? I got it from the Daily Economic News website (Chinese website) Many of the Chinese reviewers have also stated this though. I've copied the translated extract from the daily economic news:

                                    "The "Daily Economic News" reporter was informed that the OLED screen of the Mi 12 is exclusively provided by TCL Huaxing. On December 28, TCL Huaxing Vice President and General Manager of Display Innovation Center Zhang Xin said in an interview with reporters that this is not the first time Huaxing has provided screens to Xiaomi mobile phones. According to Zhang Xin, in addition to Mi 12, TCL Huaxing also exclusively supplied Mi 10 Extreme Edition commemorative screens. Regarding the amount of OLED screens supplied for Xiaomi Mi 12 this time, Zhang Xin said that this mainly depends on the demand of the whole machine factory, and TCL Huaxing supplies on demand."

GT 2 is also not having any more useful cameras because already confirmed no periscope. Funny that you mentioned copying because RealmeUI actually copied elements from Iphone, OneUI and even MIUI. Heck, even the Realme name is created to sound like Redmi.
