MindfreakDenny, 06 Aug 2022Hello! Could you please tell me if that phone is fully tra... moreHi sorry for late reply, phone is a china import so it has a china version of miui, this comes with many china related issues, for example you have to manually set gboard as keyboard otherwise it reverts to china keyboard which is annoying, caller id works sometimes (sometimes it just shows a number on the contact instead of their name), there are many china apps installed, most can be removed others are staying and cannot be removed and you get notifications from them, if you know how to mess with a phone (unlock the bootloader, flash a twrp recovery and then install a xiaomi eu rom which will soon be available) then you can import and use it, otherwise the software issues will be very annoying and will ruin a perfect experience, i know how to do it so I don't mind doing the above

Phone is excellent
One major problem, while the phone is locked no social media messages or calls (whatsapp /messenger) would come through.
Only when the phone is unlocked messaged and missed calls are shown.
Ive removed battery restriction on apps as well as checked auto start for them.

1" sensor is not the matter,it's just like saying it by size (yet the mi 11ultra is superior all round).
Believe me,if this 1" was for an apple or Samsung device reviews we say it's over processed,cause there would be no match on planet earth 🤣
Kudos to Apple and Samsung 👍.

Anonymous, 27 Jul 2022That's just a load of bollocks. The P30 Pro will know ... moreYes I'm talking about the P30 Pro not the P50 Pro. I own both the 12S Ultra and P30 Pro and compared them side by side extensively. I'm sure the P50 Pro will absolutely murder the 12S Ultra.
However with all that bashing I've been giving to the 12S Ultra in my previous comments, I just updated the phone to the latest Xiaomi software and surprisingly the photo sharpness is now at least equal or "slightly" better than the P30 Pro and that is really good considering the 12S Ultra FOV is much larger than the P30 Pro. With this recent software update, I don't regret importing this phone anymore. If Xiaomi continues to make improvements to the imaging software, I think I will really start to love this phone.

12S Ultra is a big step back in terms of screen real estate. Not only is it still curved, but the top and side bezels are more thicker than 11 Ultra. If you're gonna thicken the bezels, then at least give us a flat display. Otherwise curved display with thick bezels is pointless af, as the thick bezels cancels out the illusion that the display is "overflowing".

if just only compare the rear camera without comparing the front camera, then xiaomi is still inferior to samsung, especially the iphone!!!

as a Mi 11 Ultra user and now upgraded to Xiaomi 12S Ultra user
I got this phone this Sunday (July 24th) updated it to latest version as of the writing of this comment, so here is my opinion about the phone compared to mi 11 ultra
Xiaomi 12s Ultra is an improvement and refinement to everything the mi 11 ultra failed or was behind in, let me explain:
the back leather-like doesn't attract fingerprints, comfort to hold, and doesn't feel hot, easy to grip
the soc snapdragon 8 + gen 1 is amazing, the 888 was an overheating mess, and everything on the mi 11 ultra made it hot very fast, this 8+ gen 1, works flawlessly, and it doesn't heat up as much, performance is top notch you really have to try it to feel it
the camera is great and huge improvement compared to Mi 11 Ultra, it has very very fast shutter speed and focus, no motion blur at all which is so much fun to just take the phone out and snag a pic, super fast and easy.
battery life is vastly improved (don't know why they say there is less battery life here on gsmarena), the battery is smaller, but it is less felt since the phone is way more efficient, both the soc and the screen consume way less power (im also running the phone on wqhd+ and 120hz)
and the proximity sensor is finally fixed, I can take phone calls and listen to voice messages without the screen turning on randomly when the phone is at my face
the only sad thing is gone the rear display and I miss it a bit, but everything else is better in Xiaomi 12S Ultra compared to mi 11 ultra
let me summarize:
Xiaomi took a great phone and made it even better in almost every way
sure the screen got smaller but it got way more efficient, and is crisp and bright
sure the battery got smaller but the soc and screen consume less battery so you don't feel it
sure wireless charging got slower but it is still 50w which is very fast, if it's not fast enough use the 67w included with the phone (no charger on many new phones these days and xiaomi is including the top one for the phone)
sure the rear display is gone and that is a real bummer
yes it is niche and if you want the phone you need to import it, but I can understand this is only for mi fans (for users outside of china)
but really Xiaomi fixed many issues,
obviously it is not perfect
selfie is only at 1080p30fps max (still usable for video calls)
no rear display
usb 2.0 speeds (I transfer files to pc using wifi so no issue really)
50w wireless and 67w wired (120w on pro and 67w on ultra what?! - it's okay, 67w is enough)
67w is enough since it can charge most of the phone in 15 minutes and you really don't need more unless you use it heavily, I don't charge this phone overnight since I don't need to the battery here is that good (I was always charging my mi 11 ultra all the time in day and night)
HOWEVER, there is one major flaw which is miui, even on latest version there are bugs which are annoying, this is a flagship device and those bugs shouldn't exist,
so the only reason I replaced my mi 11 ultra was because it was overheating allot,
I plan to keep this Xiaomi 12S Ultra for years to come and then I might consider moving to iphone, I also have iPhone 13 Pro Max and I compared the two, the pictures are better on X12S Ultra, but video is better on iPhone, I like iphone allot, but I personally like xiaomi more, I have also tried s22 ultra but it was meh to me, the pen was cool but my mi 11 ultra felt superior to that phone, so yeah, I tried the mighty competitors, but Xiaomi is still my favorite brand since I personally like to tinker with phones and import them, so it's my personality here, hope you enjoyed reading :)

yeah right 1" sensor....
i serviced this phone for dead camera and decided to take apart the camera out of curiosity
the big sennsor is actually 3/4 or 1/2 inch
other than that the phone is vary easy to service thumbs up for that
