Weekly poll: Is the Xiaomi 13 Ultra hot or not?

22 April 2023
It sure is popular, but are you getting one?

Sort by:

There was a time when I blindly recommended Xiaomi phone. But now no more.
Unpredictable OS version updates and confusing product line up.

          Nick Tegrataker, 23 Apr 2023Did you even read the spec sheet?Specs are easily misleading.

          Example: Class 10 micro sd card from samsung is not equal to class 10 from sandisk or kingston.
          Different speeds, different fab processes etc ..

          Screen of x90 pro is awful. Probably worst of flagships. Does it look that bad when you read its specs? Xiaomi 13 pro is using latest E6 ( probably not samsung like 13 ultra) and gives worse results than previous generations. Just brighter.

          There are phones which ufs4.0 speeds are lower than it should be, on pair with 3.1. Inferior chips compared to samsung-made storages.

          Isocell GN5 is way smaller than GN2, but packs better tech.

          Phone is not reading specs. Person that reads tech daily should know.

            Where's the option "I'll wait for price to be reasonable"?

If it's the latter then it should be able to take an advantage of Adobe's new ML-based denoise, which (I'm hoping) will be available to LR mobile someday and should vastly improve the quality of the image you can extract out of a phone camera.

                            Yes. It really is going to be my next phone.

                              No, because:
                              1. The Price, Obviously
                              2. My S22 or Mi 11 Lite NE aren't dead yet.
                              3. That Camera Tumor.

                              I'm sure this was made for photographers, and not Casuals. Just like how OnePlus is for Enthusiasts, well, at least back then.

                                Amazing phone but so expensive, just bought a new xiaomi last October so I won't buy another phone this soon, maybe when 15 or 16 ultra comes out I'll consider

                                  No Chinese phone is hot. They are all mediocre devices with poor battery longevity, poor UI, mediocre cameras, most of them without OIS.

                                        Sadly I will be on my phone probably to the next year, otherwise x90pro+ would be mine till now, xiaomi13u from now.
                                        At least until something better comes out. Though I do not hope for hi res on sony, they got some great focusing tech, which also matters, as resolution is only good if it can focus right and not for fast action...
