It's been quite the rollercoaster ride.

Over9000, 14 Mar 2025Why isn't Xiaomi banned like Huawei? They are better ... moreHuawei wasn't banned due to their smartphones, but their telecommunications solutions and infrastructure products. This due to fear of espionage and/or potential for sabotage.

Xiaomi makes consumer products, not cell towers etc.

      Why isn't Xiaomi banned like Huawei?
      They are better than Samsung and Apple.
      Xiaomi makes global versions.

Oneplus and TCL are freely trading smartphones in the US for many years. Huawei and ZTE are primarily telecommunication focusing on networks and supplying network equipment

          Aierlan, 12 Mar 2025How? Apart from the Huawei sanctions there are no sanctions... moreYou forgot about ZTE? They were big until the sanctions neutered them. The US sent a signal that any Chinese company looking to make inroads into the American market will get sanctioned.

            Aierlan, 12 Mar 2025How? Apart from the Huawei sanctions there are no sanctions... moreI think it's about time you start watching/reading the news. Trump started with Huawei first time he was in the chair, but now he's back and much more aggressive. But if you only read news on gsma, it's no wonder you have no knowledge about what's actually happening.

              403 Forbidden, 13 Mar 2025Tbh I will never understand with this FuntouchOS hate lmfao... moreVivo has been trimming down FunTouch since the Vivo V20, where most of the devices came with Stock Android until May 2021. Their current UI and Motorola's Hello UI aren't that different (except for custom icons and Jovi Lifestyle for FunTouch, whereas Hello UI retains Moto Actions). The only thing they need to improve is avoiding pre-installed bloatware, because Nokia/HMD is yet unmatched in that regard.

                Anonymous, 13 Mar 2025Those with dol hdr can use as default 3 exposures. Anyw... moreDOL-HDR captures multiple frames at different exposure settings and combines them into one, the only difference between this and a "regular" HDR stacking is that the former starts exposing for the next frame before it finishes reading out the previous one, whereas the latter waits for each exposure to run to the end.

                TCG reads out a single frame in three different conversion gain settings. While the maximum DR achieved with this method wouldn't be as high as the one with DOL-HDR, it is *significantly* better for live preview (since there is no frame stacking involved), and there is no risk of ghosting or frame fusion artifacts, either.

                Sony had never created a mobile phone sensor with triple conversion gains. LYT-818 is the first one to do it.

                "Ehy ppl here cannot accept this fact?"
                You're the one who has always been complaining about how having a type 1 sensor with a 35mm full-frame equivalent lens would make a phone too thick lol. Vivo is getting around this by using a smaller sensor.
                Personally, I don't mind having a larger camera bump, but I don't quite understand why *you* are against this.

                        Well its okay.
                        Xiaomi 15 Ultra can sell more.
                        And is better anyway so.

                          But different people different taste.
                          I am a stock android fan.
                          Pure simplicity was always my forte.
                          Having tons of preinstalled apps in phone is a big no.
                          For example why to have in a phone samsung brownswer and a google chrome at a same time also a google search if one is more than enough for example chrome. No need for others which doing same thing and apart costring some space and asking for frequent updates does not do anything extra worthy.

                          Same example can be used for many else UI apps from many else UIs.
                          Stock android have everything no need to have same app doing same thing from your brand of your choice. Like having twice notes, twice calendar, twwice calculator etc.
                          Thats why i prefer stock android over anything else.
                          For a simplicity.
                          Less bloated phone, faster response and more disk space for other things like photos, videos etc. More ram will be left, more disk space, user gets better endurance because less apps will be run on backround etc.

                          But its up to each user what he likes.
                          Motorola is my favorite brand or Nothing or Oneplus for either a stock android or near stock android in Nothing UI and Oxygen OS.

                            403 Forbidden, 13 Mar 2025Tbh I will never understand with this FuntouchOS hate lmfao... moreIt is too simple, it lag features, it feels so prehistoric. For me, best chinese UI is ColorOS, which is my number 2 favorite. But OneUI is just best. But still, one hundred people, one hundred taste.

                              I also prefer Funtouch OS over One UI and even over Oxygen OS from my previous phone. I installed nova prime launcher anyway which I customize as I like.

I legitly prefer FuntouchOS over One UI and any other Chinese UI because of its simplicity. Plus, not much gimmicky feature.

Lyt8... moreUnlike LYT-900, LYT-818 has a triple conversion gain HDR and boasts the lowest read noise among any CMOS sensors Sony has ever released for smartphones. It doesn't quite *beat* LYT-900 in terms of the SNR, but for sure it puts up a good fight against a sensor that is over 70% larger physically.

                                  Also, as I mentioned previously, the differences in ISPs between Dimensity and Snapdragon should be taken into account - The latter is generally better at removing noises (both luminance or chroma) efficiently.

                                    Its vivos and oppo's loss as the xiaomi 15 ultra is sold out in the UK as of now apart from the max storage size, hence they were rewarded with all the profits etc
