If you get the Global versions and not from Austria, or Germany, Hungary than example Vivo X200 Pro, and Honor Magic 7 Pro you can get the higher mAh batteries 5850 the Honor and the Vivo with 6000mAh. A bit harder to get and might cost a bit more as well, but there are possibilities. :)

As many times and where Will said " nice details, dynamic range " as so many times i saw oil painting lookalike ai washed out photos. Please re-watch the video Will, and keep it to " non-paid " review. Some are nice for real, but 50% are washed out. Look at the night one in the middle the dark building in the background, daytime the tiny tree etc.... There's a lot of AI-Oil photos. I know it's early software, but still.

AntonelPAPI, 02 Mar 20251500 dollars, euros! The problem here is that if you want t... more900 won't be worth anything, if you buy it, I'll buy it more expensively, on the other hand, your logic is to buy a device lower than that, but you will be able to sell it well because it will be called apple or samsung, for example, people who don't know anything about technology do this, but they buy something because it only has a name, so that they can touch it a table for others to see, obviously you belong to them.

It would be useful if you could add the details of the name and brand of sensors and lenses used in the cameras. Hoping that information will be available in the camera specs soon.

1500 dollars, euros! The problem here is that if you want to sell it after 5 months nobody is going to give you even 900 for it!

so many fanboys here saying the cameras are well-designed, while this looks more like a point-and-shoot camera than an actual phone. also, the fact that only china gets the highest configurations tells a lot about the way buying a phone works in different countries, where most people would rather buy a stable phone than a phone that would start glitching withing a year of release

If the European variant costs as much as the Chinese one, has a 6000 mAh battery and a charger in the box, it would definitely be worth it. But the European variant has a smaller 5410 mAh battery, it will cost €1499 (512GB version) and the charger, as has become the norm lately, will probably have to be bought separately.
Regarding that charger, once and for all: There is no EU directive preventing manufacturers from putting a charger in the box. These are fairy tales told by manufacturers. The EU directive only requires manufacturers to offer their product without a charger as a variant. But the manufacturers are lazy and greedy, they don't want to do both variants, so they mostly decide not to put the charger in the box. That's how they earn extra money. If they're not already putting a charger in the box, they should at least lower the price for the value of that charger, right?
What bothers me is that the prices are extremely different from market to market (with European prices always being the highest) and this cannot be justified by any special additional costs or business policies, at least not to that extent. It is not normal for prices to differ so much. Many manufacturers do this. For example, the OnePlus 13 (512GB) costs $999.99 in the US and €1,199 (without charger) in Europe. Why? Such a business policy is completely reckless, because in this way the prices of Chinese mobile phones are slowly becoming uncompetitive compared to the already favored products of the competition. In this way, Xiaomi and OnePlus phones are in some cases (especially flagships) even more expensive than Samsung phones of the same range. How they intend to conquer the European market with such a price policy is a mystery.
This is not only the case with Xiaomi and other Chinese companies. The new iPhone 16e (256GB) is sold in the US for $699, and in Europe for €859 to €899, depending on the country.
Do manufacturers think that users in Europe will not notice that they are being sold products at significantly higher prices, and sometimes with weakened characteristics, than in other markets?
I leave the stories about which brand is better, who makes the best cameras, etc. etc. to the experts. I see that there are a lot of them here. I wanted to highlight very strange business policies (which Xiaomi, as we see, has succumbed to), which are fundamentally unfair to end users. The huge price differences and the degradation of certain elements of the device (especially the battery; Honor also recently did this drastically with the Magic7 Pro model) can hardly be justified by anything.
This time Xiaomi has opted for both: a smaller battery at almost double the price. In fact, the 512GB version is more expensive in Europe than the 1TB version in China by as much as €500! What were they thinking?! As a long-time user of a Xiaomi phone (the beautiful 9T), I can only say: I've had enough. Go home Xiaomi. And so the answer to the question in the title is: No, it's not worth it. At least not if you live in Europe.
