    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

I had i phone and i have ipad m1 12.9 i am in no way apple hater but again iphone pro max cant compete zero. With any of the above. Attraction of people to this 240gr brick outsmarts me indeed

            I owned this phone and really love its leica pic style.
            Sometimes you can modify your pics with many blabla apps, but if you can get a awesome pic directly from the camera, that's another experience.

              It was great when Xiaomi made the Mi Note 10 and released their best camera with a midrange phone as a lot people want that. Most people that want that don't need the rest of the "flagship" specs. I'm really interested in this phone and while I'd rather it have less stuff I don't need on it and less cost, an even bigger problem is that my 200g phone already feels too heavy, I want something lighter. I not going to spend 1kEURO on phone I'd hate because it's too heavy. I also don't want to spend 1kE on curved screen that I can more easily break. All android(no, I'm not even considering iOS) phones with flagship cameras seem to have these issues, it's just stupid. Why people encourage this by buying them is beyond me.

                The only phones that would be fair competition to this in terms of camera are the Vivo X80, Sony Xperia I IV, Sony Xperia Pro-I and Samsung S22 Ultra.

My own comparisons between the 12S Ultra and Iphone 13 Pro Max shows the difference is minor. The 12S Ultra maybe have a bit better color and definitely less noise than but overall sharpness is about the same with 12S ultra only a slight edge at best. I'm not even biased towards the Iphone as I abandoned Iphones long ago and was using different Samsungs for years until the P30 Pro came out and that camera was a beast for its time and still beats my crappy 12S ultra in some instances.

                      if you're on a 12s ultra comment page leaving remarks about an iphone, you already lost.

                          anonymous, 20 Jul 2022the camera better than iphone?I spent hours comparing it side by side with the Iphone 13 Pro Max and while the 12S Ultra is better, the difference is very slight and nothing like these professional reviews indicate. My Huawei P30 Pro from years ago blew everything out the water at the time and still takes better pics than my 12S Ultra. If you are hoping the 12S Ultra is like that, like I was, then you will be disappointed. It is definitely not worth importing since you can get the Iphone 13 Pro Max for actually lower price than a 12S Ultra if you are in the US.

I wish Huawei will be able to manufacture their chips again so I don't have to settle for these wannabe camera kings that's more hype than substance.

                                    It was a budget camera typically used by parents about 10 years ago, before smartphones got good enough for family memories.

                                    The 600D was never a photographer's camera, not in the western world anyways. Maybe a young aspiring one inhereting his mother's camera.

                                      This phone is beyond bad as the camera modual is about 10x bigger than it needs to be,they should use that space for bug fixes,alongside this you can easily damage the camera by placing it on a can (this twists the lens off and causes small combustion for prolonged period)

                                        I will say that you always want higher resolution capabilities on the Ultrawide, as there is more in frame. 12mp isn't ideal and does hold output back but the sensors are cheap so companies still use them.
