    I bought mine from someone who bought it in HK and had used it for 1 month. It also came with official tpu case, 2 third party magsafe cases, screen protector and camera protector pre-applied, and 3 extra screen protectors. Of course cable and charger also.
    I was considering keeping my Mi 10 which is very good except for the battery but the price of this package was too good not to buy.
    Very satisfied.

The price in China is 4,599rmb for 16gb 512gb. That equates to around €589. If you bought it from official sources directly in China there has never been a discount on it. Even the cheapest price avaliable online from unofficial sources directly in China is well over €500 and that's if you are living in China and buying it online from unofficial third parties

        You don't see the problem? This phone is sold at a PREMIUM PRICE, hell it's more expensive than the S24 actually. It's not like the Mi 10T. People pay a premium price for a premium experience, otherwise what's the point?
        Why would anyonce pay so much for so-so software support and ad-ridden bloatwares?
        I enjoyed the Xiaomi 13 but I'm being honest here. It's not worth $1000, just like a S24 isn't worth $1000. But at least Samsung offers substantial discounts globally at launch while Xiaomi only does that in China.

          Its annoying Omnivision is naming the camera sensor similar to LYT900. The way Xiaomi was promoting the camera as Light Hunter 900, they were confusing folks on if the sensor is same as one in Mi 14 ultra.

          Other thing is price. its crazy high. But it will come down like most Android phones and so one is better off waiting when you get it at a good price. Otherwise it ticks most boxes.

              They do not even bother trying .

                honestly xiaomi hit it out the park with the 14... the price for the global variant is extremely expensive and no one should buy it at that price but... if you can import the chinese varian and it matches the network bands of your country... then this is a winner.

                I bought mine (16+512) for 450 eur and let's just say it a great step up from my mi 10. size is perfect, not too small not too big, first time the non pro model has actual decent cameras, SoT is strong for a small phone, display looks awesome, design as well. since miui 14 software has been very stable on my mi 10, same for 14 on hyperos.

                Don't be fooled by the troll comments saying it's another 8 gen 3 failure, do your own research.

                  Anonymous, 26 Feb 2024Another overpriced garbage without SD card, audio jack.lmao you can't type this comment with a straight face can you? sd card is dead, suck it up or buy expensive sonys. 256gb base storage is enough for most

                        Look pretty natural on my device (find x5, using brilliant mode on default colour temp). Allows the reds and blues look true, i know this by opening my camera app and taking a picture of an image on my 4k monitor thats got perfect sRGB colour reproduction (highlight of the monitor), colours are the exact same.

                          The colors are so oversaturated. Especially the blue in the sky looks ridiculous.

                                great hw, but memeUI is bad as always. have they got no engineers left that can change it? did Xiaomi stop hiring with MIUI v4 in 2011? it's been the same interface since 12 lol, they had a chance with the whole HyperOS hype yet it's the exact same 😭

                                to think that Xiaomi was once upon a time a "software company"...

                                  Marco M, 26 Feb 2024Then why who does the S24, X5 and others fail so miserably ... moreMust of been that unit having problems with white etc, my find x5 handles it perfectly well, the white parts of my cat look like how it does with my own eyes.

                                  Gunna see what my dads s24u is like, said his old s21 battery was done because of all the 25w fast charging (seems galaxy and iphones batteries cant handle a few years on 25w chargers), the find x5 beat his s21 and iphone 13 for pictures but it wont hold a candle to the s24/iphone 15/xiaomi 14 and if it does then shame on them lol.

                                    In the uk its the exact same price as the s24 (£850, thats directly from both xiaomi and samsungs sites and base models). Its £899 for the 12gb/512gb version. Most other places are selling the 14 for around £550-600.

                                    The iphone 15 pro is £950 for the base model, must just be europe the 14 is so expensive?

Seems it wasn't so easy after all. Heck, the S24 even struggles with noise on the brown parts of the building. The detail clarity on the content of the balconies are so much higher in the Xiaomi photo. Look at the furniture, plants and AC. Photos aren't taken at the same time, but still, the same stuff is there in broad daylight. The 12T actually seems to be the closest second in the post with photos by this Xiaomi 14, 12T, SGS24 and Oppo Find X5.

                                        The building being the object of the photos. . . Looking at vegetation seems a bit odd. The camera software should focus in the main object making it as good as possible.
