Btw I am still wondering how they can off-set the cost THIS much just with selling user data and high volume sales. Given how ridiculously cheap those devices are for the specs (like really, we're still in the under 1000 EUR range for an SD Gen 3?), the gap seems extremely large. If only we could install a proper OS onto this, this would be a great option. But let's assume you don't care at all about the spyware, how have you guys fared with Xiaomi devices in the past? I'd imagine they skimp hard on the software, but I have no experience with that brand at all. Does anyone even use Chinese phones for longer than a year or two (being that cheap, they sure seem easy to replace)? Like man, if I could put ANY trust into their software whatsoever, I wouldn't be paying for an overpriced P8P (though that camera is still just top notch, even if the SoC doesn't quite live up the price). If only they'd just make those devices as open as the Pixels are...but I guess that's not in their interest at all.

you have to suffer, 29 Oct 2023no need of those chemicals. titanium will tarnish over age.... moreI think titanium will get oxidised easily which will prevent it from further changes . So in result titanium will remain same as you get it(titanium products) in your hands .

@GSMArena, please will you add info about the OS updates / how many years? I'd hate to land on a phone with only 2 years updates again. Thank you!

Nifol, 29 Oct 2023No card slot and no 3.5mm jack. Screw Xiaomi.Sadly nobody ever does nowadays. I could manage with no card slot but I'm so used to 3.5mm headphones that I would hate not having it. I'm just not a fan of BT headsets.:(

First you said titanium will tarnish in a few year, then gives example of 22 years old laptop? is 22 years "a few years"? and it was PAINTED! the thing that wore off was the paint, not the metal underneath.
Not only this but, I don't know if you are clueless or just plain ignorant, titanium WON'T tarnish, my example is the extreme condition, I said you can kill stainless steel with bleach but not titanium, it is one of the most corrosive-resistant material known to man!
I am literally a chemical engineer and you somehow thinks you are more knowledgeable than me in this field? where do you get this info? your mom?

It's worth noting that these phones have elaborate cooling mechanism unseen on lower end phones. That's why those lower end phones are the most often seen with 5000mah+ battery and still have acceptable weight and dimension.
You can't do flagship performance without cooling but with cooling you need to sacrifice the battery space otherwise you need to make it thicker and bigger.
And look at the reply below bashing the weight, what do you think would happen if Xiaomi decided to increase the battery capacity?
Can't please everyone, that's just how live is.

you have to suffer, 29 Oct 2023titanium are prone to tarnish in few years so take proper care.Stop spreading misinfo lol, titanium will not tarnish unless you have lab restricted chemical.
I'll tell you this, stainless steel can be dissolved by HCl, a fairly common solvent, also used in your toilet cleaner.
while titanium would need aqua regia, a highly dangerous substance that can and will kill you much more easily than hydrochloride acid.

Izumiyamura, 29 Oct 2023I don't think you know much about photography. An actu... moreI don't think I follow.
The variable aperture only start at f/1.4 which is standard opening in smartphone, in theory a 1" sensor with the same opening can get much more lighting than smaller sensor.
That is to say, smaller sensor will be inferior than bigger one at the same aperture. But I have heard they will use much brighter (clearer) lens in this phone so light-gathering capability difference is negligible.
But I digress with the variable aperture making it much more flexible choice than fixed or double aperture.
It's impossible to do long exposure photo in daylight with a phone even with 100 ISO is too bright, and ND filter for phone is niche.
Some phone's telephoto does indeed have narrower aperture like S23 ultra, but then the sensor is arguably inferior to the main one.
But let's be real here, the real reason Xiaomi downgraded the sensor is to make the 14 Ultra looks better, I'd say the main camera will be insane in this one:
- 1" Sensor.
- True variable aperture (possibly even more flexible than this, like f/1.2-f/6)
- Brighter, clearer lens compared to predecessor.
