Super Android 22, 11 Apr 2024I think you answered your own question, if it can wirelessl... moreMy wasn't exactly a question, either way wireless data transfer isn't exactly as straightforward or optimised as usb, it requires additional software to work and I'm not even sure if there is any for mac or linux. Typically, it's the usb that serves the purpose in transferring files across different devices and operating systems, not wifi. The usb 3.1 standard came out in 2013. For me, or for anyone who might have to backup 100gb's of photos at one point it's a drawback that 11 year old usb standard still hasn't been implemented and therefore have to transfer backups at 50 mega bytes per second at best.
I don't think implementing usb +3.0 would have significantly increased the manufacturing cost more than a couple of tens of dollars. I could be wrong here but i suspect usb 2.0 was chosen for its simplicity for implementing in it xiaomi's own proprietary fast charging technology, implementing usb 3.1 and fast charging could have been way too compex to achieve. Even the 13t pro has usb 2.0 but it supports 120w. I suspect Xiaomi's own fast charging technology relies on the old usb 2.0 standard. However the latest xiaomi 14 ultra supports 90w and usb 3.2, so eventually in a couple of years this same usb technology could be implemented at least across the incoming mid rangers as well

Also the s8 was a flagship that released at about £800, this has a custom 12 bit dolby vision screen with a current gen chip (those 2 things must be taking up most the cost for the device) and i think a pretty good main cam, it'll beat the s8 with its main, comes with 12gb of ram and 256gb storage as STANDARD, plus 90w charging with the charger for under £300, i think having usb2 is a minor annoyance tbh at this point (it would be like putting a v8 in a ford focus and selling it for £20k with a top quality info system and front and reverse cams but complain it doesnt come with heated seats sort of thing).

The lack of usb 3 is a serious issue considering that even the galaxy s8 (~7 years old) has usb 3.1.
It doesn't make sense combining Usb 2.0 with ufs 4.0,
Usb 2.0 reaches 480mbps with one way communication, usb 3.1 reaches 10gbps with 2 way communication. Transferring files through WiFi 6 is faster than usb 2.0

Possibly the best deal from Xiaomi so far. This phone is already on sale on giztop for 349$, but if i decided to buy it now it wouldn't come with the correct european lte bands, it wouldn't have 6ghz wifi, i would also have to pay a custom fee of ~160$ to get it here in the eu. The deal is good at first sight but there are too many obstacles when buying directly from china if you're within the eu. Perhaps this deal could be good for those who reside in territories who have free trade agreements with china. Unfortunately anything that comes from china in my case is subjected to vat and custom fees(custom fees ~20% are applied only when value exceeds 150€, vat 22% always applies)

At this point it feels like xiaomi is just making camera hardware bad purposefully. Did they improve on camera since like 5 years ago?

Was about to focus on things I thought should be improved, then realized this is a EUR 260 phone. In my opinion the specs are quite decent for that price.
