Like people seriously have memory of gold fish?

    "imitating Apple’s Dynamic Island."

    You do realize that Apple didnt invent it?
    And R&D of it was not made in like one month so it was made WAYYYY long before last iPhone premier?

        What it does not have is what could have made it a perfect gadget

            Imagine making notch aka "eyesore" bigger and calling it brand new feature. At this rate, we are going to see more "islands" in all four corners of screen and they would call it "advanced features"

                Akashraj, 27 Sep 2022Damn, that thing didn't took long for them to come wit... moreBecause yes, you desgin, engineer, put into production and release a phone in 20 days, everyone knows it's that easy.

                Reality is, it probably takes up to half a year to get the phone ready for production, maybe even more in some cases.

                  This isn't the first Xiaomi phone with front facing flash... The Redmi note 5 from 2018 had it too.

                    Damn, that thing didn't took long for them to come with a knock-off.

                      Ninja technique to resemble iphone 14 series.
                      As usual Android manufacturers again start copying crap design of apple

                        So beautiful device. Hope it will be released worldwide.

                          Civi 2 = 20MP super wide

                          12T Pro = 8MP

                          🤦🏻‍♂️

                            That front is just pathetic

                              Try not to fail feel so desperately that you're right but to fail nonetheless

                                Nice phone for the price except for that punch...
                                Err... pill hole

                                  Nice phone but pity about the two selfie cams. I think the single camera solution with a wide and regular field of view option works well enough on some Huawei phones and it's not really worth having two selfie cams . Pricing is competitive and better than last year's model. Basically the same price as the Honor 70 which it's competing with. The cameras are a big improvement on the original Civi and Civi 1s. They're is much improved shutter speed too which should improve the photo taking experience. The worst thing though is the software implementation of the pill which is used for various notifications and functions (shown here on the first munute or so of this weibo review from one of the largest Chinese reviewers ).

                                  Hopefully that can be disabled in settings
