I think fast charging is all very well. But I rather have a good working battery after a year not depleted cells from constant recharges.
Price compared to Samsung or Apple is reasonable. My current Samsung works fine still however that will get semi-retired when I upgrade this year.
Hardware is good on the xiaomi ; good camera optics, colour calibration on the screen, good amount of solid state storage and available RAM for applications and the photo kit which can turn it into a compact camera experience is a worthy bonus. 67mm filter glass support without awkward adapters.
Second choice could be a Honor Magic 6 Pro if you are not swayed by the leica branding.
The s24 ultra is not really inspiring to me as all the incremental changes are so insignificant to what I am looking for and the ai functionality is a bit of a gimmick. Live translation is pretty good though.

I believe this is the phone that top Hollywood producers have used to make a film. If that's not an endorsement to switch from an iPhone, then the force is strong with the Apple diehards. While I like to switch between Android and iOS, I'm curious to see how Apple or Samsung tops this.

WitheredBonnie, 27 Feb 2024The s24 ultra is flat would you consider it?????
If I _had_ to get a new phone today, it would probably be a coin flip to choose between S24 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro, and I _hate_ iPhone.
None of the currently available phones ticks all my boxes. Zenfone? Sony? Awful support duration plus a whole list of Xperia flaws (notably auto mode and flashlight) and no telephoto on the Asus.
Samsung has the most annoying web store and sale strategy of any manufacturer plus an annoying UI with lots to reconfigure, deinstall, and sideload. (My partner has a S23.) Also, if a USB-C headphone jack is present, you can't override that so sound plays on the phone speaker. This is possible on the Zenfone, Xperia, and others.
Pixel? Ugly inside and out, features are region locked, software was buggy at launch, I loathe having a company name as the assistant wake word.
No flips or folds. No curved screens. Fairphone is out after owning a 2 and two 3s and having enough hardware and firmware issues.
I don't know, what does that leave... the new Nokia? But that doesn't have a great camera. So... Nothing---and I don't mean Nothing, the brand...
Now I'm just waiting for Sony to fix their lousy two years of updates and maybe get a brighter torch and then I'll be back to Xperia, ready to get more blurry action shots and dim night pictures... Until then, trying to keep this used Zenfone alive until something halfway decent gets released.
Regular Xiaomi 14 (or the 13 Pro) also look alright, although I haven't looked long enough to know what's annoying about their OS overlay and features and bugs and quirks.
Coincidentally, my favorite phones were by Huawei in the form of the Nexus 6P and an LG before they went bust, and that last one had a curved screen which was nudged off of a bench and cracked from end to end after a 15-inch drop, which was the last curved screen I will ever own, regardless of specs and OS support.

the fun times, 25 Feb 2024Well i only see flatThe display itself is flat and the glass has a gentle curve along the edge... just like the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Now, if you find a video on YouTube called "Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra Drop Test", you will see how dropping such a phone from table height onto a regular hard floor
...will create a crack across the entire screen starting from the edge, where the impact is concentrated onto one point because of the gently curved edge.
In my experience, you can full-on abuse a completely flat Gorilla 3 or 4 display. Submerge while swimming? Fall out of motorcycle jacket while riding? Totally fine.
For me? No curve. Not 3d. Not 2.5d. I want 0d. This looks like a great phone... but still not for me.

Furkan, 26 Feb 2024But Hyper Os is better than MiuiDon't be fooled around. MiUi is Hyper OS... Hyper OS is MIUI. A few optimisations and a few / minor UI changes have been made. Still, there are restrictions and no proper updates, as promised by Xiaomi.
