On 2.0.2.0 eea firmware ui perfomance is great and there are almost no loading times, I get only 9%/hour in 1440p mode and screen-off drain is low too. For cameras variable aperture has been useful quite a few times and on telephotos it was their close smallest autofocus distance that has been useful, I used 3,2x quite a few times. Regarding photos exposure adjustment is done when you shot a photo and then open it and click it. I also shooted ultra-raw.

        Only games without drm like games from Gog work.

        Winlator is great but before i could use Steam or Epic Store it will be very niche use cases.

              have you dabbled into the various settings in the gallery photo editor? I think Xiaomi has some of the best filters and settings for photo editing.

              (My favorite - try the "White mist" and "Dark mist" filter from gallery photo editor and set them to like 20-30% to add a soft look to your photos)

Most "modern" games released in last 5 years are indie platform games which literally are crossplatform. Not to mention massive rise of card collecting games, light mmos not over 20 gb on size and open world gachas. Quite literally the modern games you know are 10% out of a game market literally meant for phone devices and PC.

                      It won't come to a phone for some times. Tablet have much bigger thermal headroom than a tiny weeny phone.

                                It's nearly impossible to play modern PC games on any snapdragon chipset with playable frame rates. Because this is 8 gen 2, the performance will be far worse than playing games on a snapdragon x elite which is a laptop chip.

                                  My xiaomi pad 6 definitely won't have this, especially since the 6s pro has it which has a much more powerful chipset

                                      this is awesome one day phones will be extremely powerful able to ran many games so this is going in the right direction, the snapdragon elite should be a beast already

                                        Would be crazy if this ends up running more games than Windows on ARM.
