Unfortunately these Xiaomi flagships becoming more and more expensive on one hand and less and less interesting... Xiaomi 12 / 12x was an excellent device (really compact, convenient in hand and nice looking) but its proximity sensor was really bad. In new devices Xiaomi finally, after so many years of complaints from customers installed a properly working proximity sensors, but devices themselves became less interesting.

Seems like it's about the same size as the Xiaomi 13 with the same 1.61mm bezels and I'd say that bottom bezel is not something you'd notice being thicker the other sides. Seems like they've taken the Xiaomi 13 changed the camera bump and that's pretty much it. I like it. Glad it's still in a great size.

2. Wired is still of better quality than wireless. Any $20 IEMs will be x10 better than any $50 TWS (in terms of audio quality). And you don't have to worry about charging, just plug in and voila, you're ready to go. Again, having the jack doesn't force you to use it, you can still use your beloved TWS, but there's a choice.
3. FM Radio is good for those who don't have good internet connection, not everyone lives in a city with high-speed internet. And a lot of people are still using it.
4. Really? One of the most stupid response. Let's throw car keys because our friends can take and hide them.
5. I agree about display, many are still offering flat displays, and I hope this trend continues, curved displays are just meh, but maybe there are people who prefer them.
6. There were many phones from LG (G & V series) and Samsung (S and Xcover series) which offered all these functions, especially removable battery while still having an IP rating.
The most interesting is that all these functions already exists and there were phones available with them, the wheel doesn't need to be reinvented, but there are fanboys and marketing victims who will praise any crap the manufacturer is giving them.

Bragging about having smaller bezels than the iPhone while admitting they’re not symmetrical is so funny to me. That’s like comparing tricycles with cars and bragging about how the tricycle is smaller.
The “new” OS being almost an iOS clone in terms of UI elements is also hilarious.
Classic Xiaomi.

Omnivision doesn't seem to have the best camera as far as I know. It's only on par as Samsung which isn't saying much since Omnivision does seem to have a more natural colour rendition if tuned properly. But they do sometimes fall flat in some areas. I'd say it's a bit of a downgrade from the better buffer and processing of the IMX800 in the Xiaomi 13. I'll put the benefit of a doubt but maybe the bigger sensor will make up for it. Otherwise, I'll probably see what the Pro have to offer.

Now if only Xiaomi would return to it's roots of not having super expensive phones, that would be neat.
I still have fond memories of my Mi5 that was running laps around my colleagues Samsung S phone. It was half the price of the Samsung S series of the time.
And here we are with the Mi series costing an arm and a leg.

I hope the 14 Ultra will still have a curved display. I'm using my Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with a curved display and I love it.
One thing that's really impressive about my Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra is that when I bought the phone they claimed the battery was of a new type and would last at least 800 charges. Now, more than 2.5 years later, I understand the value in that. My phone is still a one-charge-per-day phone! Usually by now most phones have a diminished battery but I haven't noticed much difference yet.

Kangal, 24 Oct 2023Looks like Xiaomi has chosen form over function. Let's... moreWhy don't you do something about it then, seems like you've got the 'perfect' blueprint to start your own flagship smartphone company, only issue is that you just want all these outdated functions without an elegant ID/form 😂
ROM: How much ROM do you actually need that you also need a mircoSD card?
3.5mm headphone: absolutely useless since wireless headphones are owned by many these days, and they're not 'disposable' don't know what you are on about there...
FM Radio: really? go sit in your car and listen to the radio
Removable Battery: honestly I am happy that this isn't there anymore, it was a torture having friends constantly troll around removing the battery and hiding it somewhere
Flat display: many phones actually have a flat display, don't know what you are on about
Durable Construction: go buy a Nokia 800 Tough, if that ain't durable enough, be sensible and use a good phone case + screen protector - not such a big deal
Honestly, you can not expect global smartphone companies to sacrifice their business model/revenue to provide you a flagship phone that will last 10 years at the cost of RnD budget or people's salaries. There are many other options that are value for money and specs that you want but there will always be a tradeoff, be a little bit more realistic...
