The camera island is unsurprisingly huge.

GAMIR3DH, 25 Jan 2025I tried a Mi10 Ultra before. Xiaomi's UI is really bad... moreBro, you used Mi10. That was like 5 years ago. Xiaomi overhauled their UI. It's no longer miui. It's hyper os. You have to really use it to confirm it. I'm a Xiaomi user.
Now imagine someone saying that Samsung UI is bad and lags a lot, saying he used S8. Now that's how you sound. Touchwiz was overhauled to One UI. So also MiUi was overhauled to hyperOS.
I hope this makes sense. I've come a long way from Techno to HTC to Samsung to Xiaomi. Family now owns Samsung and Apple. So you should know what I mean

    Xiaomi 15 Ultra ❌
    Xiaomi 15 camera ✅

      Wow an ultrawide downgrade. Seems like a missed opportunity. The last Xiaomi 14 Ultra was already balanced hardware wised but seems like this time some bad downgrade is in sue. At least zoom is going up lol.

        nice, though I probably won't buy one

        hopefully it's weight distribution and in-hand-feel is good

I agree that it is duplicitous to make the same claim for a budget phone. I quite like the circle camera island myself.

Xiaomi ha... moreI am not just talking about the Xiaomi 15 Ultra but ALL of the current phones using a round camera island like that. It is abundant in all device classes and often takes up so much space, without even looking good. I see why Ultra devices may use this because their cameras genuinely need that extra space. For budget flagships and anything below, not really.

                The back looks like fabric rather than glass. But it does look nice.

                    Is the design department hibernating? Another gigantic cyclops-eye camera island! And that ultra-imaginative color: black! Wow. Why do all phones look the same?? When you put this on your ear you look like Princess Leia.

                              Another phone with unecessary generic ugly big circle camera island, that looks like another "chinese phone" from 4 years ago.

                              Looks like Chinese companies are happy with the flop sales of their flagship.

                              Ugly big circle camera island = no buy.

                                AlexandrePG, 25 Jan 2025You don't even have the money to not hard pass it lolAnd my experience on 2.0.2.0 vnaeuxm has been quite different, no introduced bugs, great ui performance, no massive drain, in fact it would be 7,5+ h sot, perhaps even over 8 h in 1440p mode, no big screen-off drain either.

                                    I'd gladly make the phone 50% thicker, or have a huge bump, if I could get a leap up from current-gen cameras. Feels like we're so close to a phone camera that's good enough that I won't want a professional camera too.

                                    ...."6,000 mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 50W wireless charging too". Please Samsung :( We will all look past he-who-shall-not-be-named. You can push boundaries with batteries again. We gotta have an option outside of Chinese phones

                                      Less funtionality, less polish, bugs and ads.

                                        People complain about Samsungs design but is this really better? Even on budget flagship phones and budget phones others have giant islands like this on the back.
