Riley is pretty out of touch with smartphones things I've to say. Pixel-binning has been a thing ever since the IMX-586 was released with the Honor View 20 (I believe it was the first to use that sensor/tech) back in late 2018, so >3yrs ago! And literally all phones using a QB/Tetra/Nonacell sensor don't shoot in full-res by default. Also manual/pro mode (including manual focus) has been a thing in smartphones for even way longer (almost a decade ago). I don't know who did it first, but I would like to credit Nokia Lumias with encouraging (the use of) & democratizing the "Pro" mode (even though some "Pro" phones still don't come with one). It had the manual focus setting too (which helped with Lumias' generally shorter minimum focusing distance for macro shots), the only thing missing was a temperature slider. Heck my cheap $250 phone (with a SD820) from 2017 also had it (including the manual focus & temperature slider)!
The idea was mainly taken from Nokia, as their 808 and 1020 got bigger pixel numbers but could shot at 5 mp only and had an option of enabling 41 mp as well
By default, pixel binning is used to generate brighter images. 50:4 = 12.5Mp . This is now common with all manufacturers. Also with the Google Pixel 6 Pro

Got to love how non-North Americans make themselves feel superior for not being part of the audience. Clearly with Riley’s statement, the audience they’re targeting for this video are North Americans, which is why they sometimes talk about availability and importing from lesser used sites in North America, like aliexpress.
@@johnbuscher you guys all gotta be balding I swear if you can't get satire when it's slapping you in the face you need to see a doctor dude said "who's gonna make a case for it" because there are clearly going to be cases made for it it's like talking to a 2 year old about the mass of the sun
The only objection i have is about that case statement. Xiaomi is a pretty famous company in Asia and Europe. So cases would be readily available other than the one found in the case. Since they are not in the NA it doesn't mean that they are not famous in other continents. Otherwise the video is pretty good, appreciate the hard work.
I would change the statement to “cheap Xiaomi” is popular in europe and Asia. Xiaomis flagship phones are barely sold in any region and have super low %marketshare of flagship and thus there is not really that many cases on these devices
extremely ignorant statement by them. xiaomi is one of the biggest phone and electronics manufactureres in the world. always so dismissive towards chinese technology
"Who's going to make a case for this phone?" - as if Xiaomi isn't one of the biggest smartphone companies in the world. Really need to get out of your NA bubble.
I mean, tbh, he probably knows, but i understand the reason of the comment. The thing is, in Europe that is a standard plug... But in America (not only north America) that's not standard, at all, if anything, if you never travelled outside your country or the continent, you may have never seen that type of plug
It is quite funny how xiaomi fits an IR blaster in and refuses to put in a headphone jack. Also all these companies crying over small space so as to not fit a headphone jack just to sell their tws headsets is super annoying.
It was kind of obvious they didn't care at all because the device is not really marketed for North America. Xiaomi will send you a device if you want but they don't try to be big in the US and Canada. The question is though. If you don't care about a device at all, then why bother? Better do nothing than make something bad.
@@SIPEROTH thing is, it's really awesome. In Europe, an iPhone generally costs 2x or more than a flagship Xiaomi or like 50% more than a flagship Samsung. iPhones are hardly used in Europe too, making Samsung and Xiaomi the dominant players here.
This video doesn't feel right, even tho it's short circuit feels like it had way less depth than other videos on the channel. Pixel binning, the case statement, the plug statement could be looked up in literally 10 seconds. Xiaomi might not be a big player in North America but it certainly is one of the biggest phone companies in Asia/Europe (aka most of the world). While I don't mind RUclipsrs aiming for North American audiences, it doesn't take much time or effort to look outside of your bubble once in a while.
"No body is gonna make a case for that phone". This man probably has never leave north America (not even north America because I'm sure you can find stores with tens of different cases for this phone in Mexico)
I got a Poco F3 5G 8/256 GiB with 120Hz AMOLED for less than 300€ last summer. The hardware is great, so is build quality. The device has the latest Android version and has been recieving updates regularily. The only annoying thing is that the last few software versions contain an annoying bug that sporadically makes the UI animations glitch out. This applies to Xiaomi, Poco and RealMe/RedMi devices since they are all using the same software. Anyhow, besides having to restart my phone occasionally due to this (it's not a biggie as the device is blazing fast), I am very satisfied. For people wanting to take matters into their own hands - the bootloader is unlockable free of charge and there is a vivid custom-ROM community. And yes, getting a transparent case included with these phones is normal. There is also tons of third party stuff on Amazon EU, where these phones are sold aswell.
Planning to get poco f3 and slap a stock android right away. Xiaomi offers great hardware but software is still a hit or miss. My Mi pad 5 updated to miui 13 and the perf is meh, battery suffered too. Dont have time to factory reset it yet too much of a hassle.
I live in Europe and its normal for phones to come with cases. Also Xiaomi is very popular so the argument "who is gonna make cases for that" doesnt hold up.
It depends he does have a valid point. If Xiaomi wants to try at the North American market then cases need to be made more available. In America, I don’t think this phone would sell. Samsung and Google are the only Android phones people for the most part accept here. American market is a a good market because Americans buy new phones regularly. I just bought a Xiaomi phone here in Thailand and it’s been great. It’s different than my normal iPhone 12 Pro which was SIM card locked. It gave me an excuse to buy an Android phone here so I don’t mind lol
Just because you dont see the xiaomi brand everywhere in your area doesnt mean nobody uses it, the brand. Dominates in Asia and is like 80% of the global population
It's the second biggest after Samsung in terms of market share. What is the most common thing among these two manufacturers? They both make smartphones starting from 100 USD.
Are you dumb? There are nearly 8 billion people and Asia has 4 billion so where is it 80% of the global population? And Xiaomi doesn’t even dominates asia it’s only the 3rd biggest company(after Samsung and apple) and the marketshares in Asia are more balanced so there is no company that has more than 1/4th of the marketshare so technically nobody dominates in Asia because in Europe apple and Samsung have both around 35% marketshare and in North America apple has more than 50% of the marketshare that’s actually dominating
One thing that I dont know if they considered is that at usa voltage so 110V it charges with "only" 96W. Charger requires 220-240V to give 120W, its on xiaomi website
I would wish for LMG to expand to Europe and build another channel there with a focus on products that are available in EU like Xiaomi Products and as well european laws and stuff and giving it another view to it.

Well i mean, opinions change from country to country and so do ideals. I don't think making a new branch of your company tuned to the ideals of a different country is a good idea. LTT gives their opinion on products and shares the facts of the product as well. They just whiffed a script. It happens. They probably should have had someone else hosting/writing the video.

Okay, I know that these videos are just about a fast unboxing and overview of specs, but come on guys, the amount of knowledge you guys have and give about samsung/apple/google phones compare to all the other brands is huge. It makes you guys look like fanboys of the big brands and haters or simply not having any interest on the rest (which I know is not the case). Xioami is a massive brand and has even surpassed samsung in many regions of the world in terms of sale numbers so they definitely need more atention. Give ALL brands the same love you guys give to the mainstream ones.

BTW any NA user can have a xiaomi phoone, sometimes you can find them on Amazon or just buy it from EU, they come with a western rom, google services and everything an android phone should have.
@@juanchovc17 what I’m saying is it’s a waste of time to spend any more resources on this brand. No one here cares about a brand we can’t buy from our cell provider.
@@FaithfulFrets Firstly, this shitty video is far from an in-depth review and is full of ignorance. Second of all, even if the USA is their primary audience (i.e. the largest audience from a single country), that doesn't mean there aren't Asians or Europeans watching this video. Even if NA makes up 30-35% of their audience, Asian countries (especially India and SEA) altogether probably brings them over 40-45% of their total views and the rest of the views could make up other continents. So your statement still doesn't hold up to the shitty way this video was made.
Went from a POCO F3 (a xiaomi sub brand) to a Fold 3, and it was WAY easier to find cases for the POCO than the Fold, i had to go to aliexpress to get a decent and not ridiculously overpriced piece of plastic in the shape of a case to get one.
@@mistersebaa6245 As for me I've had a €200 Poco X3 non-Pro for almost 1.5 years now and it's still fantastic, the Snapdragon 732G paired with LPDDR4X and UFS 2.1 storage is still fast (as fast as the iPhone 11). But I also have a 256GB card inside and F3 doesn't have a TF card slot so that would be a problem for me if i had the F3
Are you kidding? You went from one of the most common phones in the world to one of the most rare phones in the world, of course it became more difficult. I know in the video he said Xiaomi would be harder to find a case for, but harder than a common phone, not a unicorn. And he was talking about a Xiaomi flagship, which sell so much less than the budget Xiaomi phones.
i went the opposite though got a redmi (another xiaomi sub-brand)for curiosity purposes , and yeah your right , finding a case for redmi/xiaomi is easier to find then a decently priced fold 3 one..
the day a xiaomi phone is launched there is already a flood of cases on aliexpress, i got caught in between 6 different cases for my xiaomi phone to decide on just one to buy, and those 6 were after i already choose only the ones i liked more.
Maybe he thinks about cases that can be bought in the US or Canada, not through overseas, and cases from known brands, not some Aliexpress cases. Most people wouldn't think of buying at Aliexpress, sadly.
@@yubinator7455 I get not wanting to buy a Pc or something from Aliexpress but a phone case? Is just some plastic thing, how much better does anyone think the branded case will be? Is not some complex device that needs great engineering or anything.

I can't see what more i will get by a branded case really.

I don’t know why LTT people don’t take Xiaomi phones seriously. They joke and etc., but these are extremely good phones, like Samsung-level and they just treat it like a small obscure brand.
As valuables and spec’d up as these Xiaomis seem to be they don’t last longer than 2 years. Minor failure like buttons, speakers, cameras, system slows, battery drain, overheat, terrible OS updates and glitches will emerge and that’s the cycle of every mid rangers. I had one
@@happybuggy1582 I don't know what you had but I've had the Note 8 Pro and Note 10 Pro. I've been using the Note 10 Pro on T-Mobile for about a year now and I don't have any issues.
I think i am not the only one who is unhappy for the case statement. Xiaomi is bigger company than many North American phone company. I bet you could find more xiaomi budget phone cases leave aside flagships than you could find google pixel covers and please get some info about pixel binning and why it's done.
"Whos gonna make a case for this" Dude, even if its not sold in NA, theres this thing called Amazon which lets you buy from anywhere in the world and ship it to your house in a week or two at most. Also one of the biggest brands in the world... its like a "camera guy" saying that you shouldnt buy a Fujifilm because nobody knows that brand and you wont find anything for it because all he knows is Canon and Nikon.
I still have my Xiaomi Mi 9T, and I just love it. It has an IR blaster that goes with the Mi Remote App. Apart from not having wireless charging, this phone is brilliant. The software they have for taking pictures is awesome, the granularity of the settings allows you to do basically whateveryou want with it, I only use apps from google for calling, messaging, pictures, mail, etc. So I disabled everything from Xiaomi, because anyway I don't need those in Romania. The Mi 9T is 3 years old, but I love the fact that it's bezelles and has a pop-out selfie camera (that still works flawlessly after 3 years btw) and if I break it, I'm just gonna buy the same phone if I can still find it for sale... I'll only switch to a new phone if they make one with IR, pop-out selfie cam, and jack at the top...
I have been using Xiaomis for over five years and I can tell you their strongest segment is mid-tier to budget phones where they destroy every competitor priced between $200-700 by offering every parallel spec marginally better for $100-350 (half the price). And that is exactly what Xiaomi is - a rugged daily driver for the masses. When you get into flagship category, for Xiaomi, things fall apart. No. 1) they absolutely cannot compete on camera performance. 2) their screens while being great cannot rival their top competitors. 3) other than bare-bones playstore, Xiaomi apps are more geared to the asian market to take advantage of the hardware. ROW has fairly limited software availability. 4) when you start touching that $1000 marker the additional 2-300 bucks make more sense to pay if only for the brands but you do also get the other significant performance advantages so you're basically not getting anything "pro"ish from Xiaomi. Just compare the s-pen and host of applications for +$300... Get hold of a Poco F3 (8gb/256gb), in my opinion the top performance cut-off boundary for Xiaomi devices. Beyond there the yield curve (performance/$) takes a steep dive... IMO... And man can we please start addressing the animosity towards the headphone-jack...it is a piece of hardware history that we would like to take into the future - give us our headphone jack! And another thing - please tell them to give us a resolution setting to put thin black bars along the curvature so we can have the screen both ways - curved or flat! I don't think it is impossible, they just won't give it to us...lest they make that perfect phone that we never need to change...
I think they were talking about having to choose 50MP physically to use it. I always thought it kinda wierd these phones don't default to it, nd use binning in low light using algorithm.
You don’t have to know how a sensor works to operate a video camera. Conversely, I urge you to find some sensor engineer and hand him a random DSLR. You’ll be stunned when he doesn’t know how to operate the menus, despite having worked on cameras.
Hope we get a Poco F4 review whet it launches . "High end" devices are a joke to me .Anything above 400 just isnt as realistic as companies want to force you to believe .
Agreed. I have the F3 and it does everything a $1000 phone can do except maybe the camera lacks a little. And I picked it up for £200 / like $250 six months ago
I have the 11T pro model. It charges fully in 17 minutes, with its mighty 120watts adapter (which comes in the box). So happy with the phone and its performance so far, and the fast charging changed my usage of the phone, I never connect to the charger while i sleep, it fully charges while you wash you face and brush your teeth lol. And for 700 euros, and robot-vacuum as a gift, it was a steal imo.

Many comments about the plug calling it a European plug its also compitable with most of asia where outlets are made to be used with either flat or round contacts. Maybe North America should step up their game?
Just because it's not famous in the west doesn't mean that it is not at all famous. Come to Asia and you'll see it everywhere. The world also Exists outside of your country.
I like MIUI, it has some 'special features' like a quickball making it easy to take screen shots and a video toolbox that can switch off the screen when watching you tube videos.
i got the poco x3 pro for like 279 on walmart such a freaking beast phone man and comes with 8gb ram and a snapdragon 860. oh and a 120hrz screen there is no other better deal or at least at that time i got it.
@@semprocarnage I have it as well. I admit the screen is a weak point but you are exaggerating. even if i look at it from the side i can still see what is on screen just fine. Besides when exactly are we not looking at our phones directly? 99% of the time we hold them in our hand in-frond of us. Is mostly the brightness in the sun and the nice colors of an Oled that are missing but is not a big deal.
I switched fully to Xiaomi since the Mi 9T Pro came out here in Europe because of their fantastic price / performance and even got Mi Buds 3 Pro and a Mi Watch 2 now alongside the Mi 12 Pro😅
In addition to what everyone else already said, its also worth mentioning that compared to the speakers on these Xiaomi phones, iPhone 12 series and 13 series sounds horrible. It is very misleading to say that its "very good" then somehow worse than iPhones(they really should do a side by side like they do with laptops).
I noticed on my (poco) phone as well, that because some people just make hundreds of photo's, for those random photo's xiaomi defaults to 1080p. You CAN make a sharper picture, but if you are just randomly taking unimportant pictures it really doesn't matter. Also, xiaomi doesn't use american bricks because they are affraid they'll be put into the same bag as huawei, with a lot of the us being extremely negative about china brand.
I'm sorry but it felt like he never ever even saw an android phone in his live, let alone reviewed it! Everything seemed to be a surprise for him, even pixel binning which is literally present in almost all android phones! Very bad preparation for a video tbh!
I hope it doesn't have the same motherboard issues that doomed the *Mi 11,* causing it to die in a *bootlooping cycle that never ends.* Apparently, that problem is so prevalent, authorised service centers in the Philippines (and other Asian countries) stopped accepting Mi 11s with broken motherboards for repair and just started issuing REFUNDS! 😧
C'mon, IP ratings DO WORK, usually! I took my Galaxy S7 for a swim, tucked it in my budgie smugglers (yes, i love this term, but i'm not joking) - it took only half a day (summer in Germany) to evaporate all the moisture out of the speaker - sounds just fine now, about 2 years later. No worries. 😉
Nobody makes a case for the phone?! Do Xiaomi not sell in North America then? They're not exactly common in the UK but we can get cases no issues. Plus, you can grey import them from Hong Kong easily and pay zero tax. My last several 'phone chargers' have been Xiaomi ones from HK ;)
As a matter of fact, Xiaomi does not sell in NA as far as I know actually. Probably got scared by the whole Huawei debacle. I think they're releasing products there little by little but they're taking baby steps after baby steps
Xiaomi is doing a really good job with their phone Performace, they are fast, The camera is pretty good (Night Camera is not the best, still a bit junky), but It's exactly the opposite with the Software, I've owned two last generations of phones from Xiaomi (Mi 10T Pro, Mi 11T pro which I currently use), and I did run into issues like, the screen getting pressed by itself, screen scrolling itself up & down, But I think the worst thing, is the microphone, Literary, from the time when I bought the phone, after just a couple of days, I started to have issues that the Microphone just stops working in the middle of a call, I am not sure if it is the Hardware, or the Software issue but They should have already fixed it, which they did not. On other hand, a REALLY good thing the Xiaomi Smarphones did a really great job, is the Charging time, MAN, around 25Mins to have the phone fully charged from 0-100% is a game changer, you forgot to charge your phone before work? No Problem, Just plug it in, and before you manage to eat your breakfast, you have it fully charged and ready for the day.
Yeah, I could use cases on my phones. But I almost never drop my phones somehow, and so far I have always been lucky in my life. Not having a case doesnt only make the phone look much better - it also makes it feel much better, imo. Some people hold their phones as if the were a hammer grip. I touch mine as if it was a banana that must remain in its shape even after using it.

Also manual/pro mode (including manual focus) has been a thing in smartphones for even way longer (almost a decade ago).

It had the manual focus setting too (which helped with Lumias' generally shorter minimum focusing distance for macro shots), the only thing missing was a temperature slider.

It was kind of obvious they didn't care at all because the device is not really marketed for North America.
Xiaomi will send you a device if you want but they don't try to be big in the US and Canada.
The question is though. If you don't care about a device at all, then why bother? Better do nothing than make something bad.
@@SIPEROTH thing is, it's really awesome. In Europe, an iPhone generally costs 2x or more than a flagship Xiaomi or like 50% more than a flagship Samsung. iPhones are hardly used in Europe too, making Samsung and Xiaomi the dominant players here.
This video doesn't feel right, even tho it's short circuit feels like it had way less depth than other videos on the channel. Pixel binning, the case statement, the plug statement could be looked up in literally 10 seconds. Xiaomi might not be a big player in North America but it certainly is one of the biggest phone companies in Asia/Europe (aka most of the world). While I don't mind RUclipsrs aiming for North American audiences, it doesn't take much time or effort to look outside of your bubble once in a while.

I got a Poco F3 5G 8/256 GiB with 120Hz AMOLED for less than 300€ last summer. The hardware is great, so is build quality. The device has the latest Android version and has been recieving updates regularily. The only annoying thing is that the last few software versions contain an annoying bug that sporadically makes the UI animations glitch out. This applies to Xiaomi, Poco and RealMe/RedMi devices since they are all using the same software. Anyhow, besides having to restart my phone occasionally due to this (it's not a biggie as the device is blazing fast), I am very satisfied.
For people wanting to take matters into their own hands - the bootloader is unlockable free of charge and there is a vivid custom-ROM community.
And yes, getting a transparent case included with these phones is normal. There is also tons of third party stuff on Amazon EU, where these phones are sold aswell.
the realme gt 2 pro uses colour OS. Diff to MIUI, no?
Planning to get poco f3 and slap a stock android right away. Xiaomi offers great hardware but software is still a hit or miss. My Mi pad 5 updated to miui 13 and the perf is meh, battery suffered too. Dont have time to factory reset it yet too much of a hassle.

I live in Europe and its normal for phones to come with cases. Also Xiaomi is very popular so the argument "who is gonna make cases for that" doesnt hold up.
Is Xiaomi popular there? Coz it is very popular in South Asia!
@@Adam-vn3sp Yeah i live in Bosnia and Herzegovina and i can say that Xiaomit started getting more and more popular over the last few years
It depends he does have a valid point. If Xiaomi wants to try at the North American market then cases need to be made more available. In America, I don’t think this phone would sell. Samsung and Google are the only Android phones people for the most part accept here. American market is a a good market because Americans buy new phones regularly. I just bought a Xiaomi phone here in Thailand and it’s been great. It’s different than my normal iPhone 12 Pro which was SIM card locked. It gave me an excuse to buy an Android phone here so I don’t mind lol
Isn't Xiaomi like the second largest smartphone producer in the world?
Just because you dont see the xiaomi brand everywhere in your area doesnt mean nobody uses it, the brand. Dominates in Asia and is like 80% of the global population
80% sounds like a hyperbole
It's the second biggest after Samsung in terms of market share. What is the most common thing among these two manufacturers? They both make smartphones starting from 100 USD.
Are you dumb? There are nearly 8 billion people and Asia has 4 billion so where is it 80% of the global population? And Xiaomi doesn’t even dominates asia it’s only the 3rd biggest company(after Samsung and apple) and the marketshares in Asia are more balanced so there is no company that has more than 1/4th of the marketshare so technically nobody dominates in Asia because in Europe apple and Samsung have both around 35% marketshare and in North America apple has more than 50% of the marketshare that’s actually dominating
@@nazmulfahad3044 apple also exists and they have a higher marketshare than Xiaomi in Asia
1. Xiaomi is quite popular in Asia but definitely does not “dominate”
2. Asia’s population takes up 59.76% of the world population
One thing that I dont know if they considered is that at usa voltage so 110V it charges with "only" 96W. Charger requires 220-240V to give 120W, its on xiaomi website

Okay, I know that these videos are just about a fast unboxing and overview of specs, but come on guys, the amount of knowledge you guys have and give about samsung/apple/google phones compare to all the other brands is huge. It makes you guys look like fanboys of the big brands and haters or simply not having any interest on the rest (which I know is not the case). Xioami is a massive brand and has even surpassed samsung in many regions of the world in terms of sale numbers so they definitely need more atention.

Second of all, even if the USA is their primary audience (i.e. the largest audience from a single country), that doesn't mean there aren't Asians or Europeans watching this video. Even if NA makes up 30-35% of their audience, Asian countries (especially India and SEA) altogether probably brings them over 40-45% of their total views and the rest of the views could make up other continents.

Are you kidding? You went from one of the most common phones in the world to one of the most rare phones in the world, of course it became more difficult. I know in the video he said Xiaomi would be harder to find a case for, but harder than a common phone, not a unicorn. And he was talking about a Xiaomi flagship, which sell so much less than the budget Xiaomi phones.
i went the opposite though got a redmi (another xiaomi sub-brand)for curiosity purposes , and yeah your right , finding a case for redmi/xiaomi is easier to find then a decently priced fold 3 one..

fucking god its a joke, get over it. And don't tell me it's a bad joke BECAUSE ITS STILL ONE.
In my country so many cases you can buy online for this phone even before the phone was launched.
"Whos gonna make a case for this" Dude, even if its not sold in NA, theres this thing called Amazon which lets you buy from anywhere in the world and ship it to your house in a week or two at most. Also one of the biggest brands in the world... its like a "camera guy" saying that you shouldnt buy a Fujifilm because nobody knows that brand and you wont find anything for it because all he knows is Canon and Nikon.
I still have my Xiaomi Mi 9T, and I just love it. It has an IR blaster that goes with the Mi Remote App. Apart from not having wireless charging, this phone is brilliant. The software they have for taking pictures is awesome, the granularity of the settings allows you to do basically whateveryou want with it, I only use apps from google for calling, messaging, pictures, mail, etc. So I disabled everything from Xiaomi, because anyway I don't need those in Romania. The Mi 9T is 3 years old, but I love the fact that it's bezelles and has a pop-out selfie camera (that still works flawlessly after 3 years btw) and if I break it, I'm just gonna buy the same phone if I can still find it for sale... I'll only switch to a new phone if they make one with IR, pop-out selfie cam, and jack at the top...
Dude, this is weird, but AFAIK, and I'm typing this on one, the Mi 9T hasn't got an IR blaster. Do you have a Poco F2 or something?!
I have been using Xiaomis for over five years and I can tell you their strongest segment is mid-tier to budget phones where they destroy every competitor priced between $200-700 by offering every parallel spec marginally better for $100-350 (half the price). And that is exactly what Xiaomi is - a rugged daily driver for the masses. When you get into flagship category, for Xiaomi, things fall apart. No. 1) they absolutely cannot compete on camera performance. 2) their screens while being great cannot rival their top competitors. 3) other than bare-bones playstore, Xiaomi apps are more geared to the asian market to take advantage of the hardware. ROW has fairly limited software availability. 4) when you start touching that $1000 marker the additional 2-300 bucks make more sense to pay if only for the brands but you do also get the other significant performance advantages so you're basically not getting anything "pro"ish from Xiaomi. Just compare the s-pen and host of applications for +$300...
Get hold of a Poco F3 (8gb/256gb), in my opinion the top performance cut-off boundary for Xiaomi devices. Beyond there the yield curve (performance/$) takes a steep dive... IMO...
And man can we please start addressing the animosity towards the headphone-jack...it is a piece of hardware history that we would like to take into the future - give us our headphone jack!
And another thing - please tell them to give us a resolution setting to put thin black bars along the curvature so we can have the screen both ways - curved or flat! I don't think it is impossible, they just won't give it to us...lest they make that perfect phone that we never need to change...
How 3 LTT staffs (one of them a camera guy) don't know what's binning and why companies do it
I think they were talking about having to choose 50MP physically to use it. I always thought it kinda wierd these phones don't default to it, nd use binning in low light using algorithm.
You don’t have to know how a sensor works to operate a video camera. Conversely, I urge you to find some sensor engineer and hand him a random DSLR. You’ll be stunned when he doesn’t know how to operate the menus, despite having worked on cameras.
@@rishabhrawat7856 you cannot even shoot unbinned on many phones... Even on Pixel6 it is locked

Xiaomi is doing a really good job with their phone Performace, they are fast, The camera is pretty good (Night Camera is not the best, still a bit junky), but It's exactly the opposite with the Software, I've owned two last generations of phones from Xiaomi (Mi 10T Pro, Mi 11T pro which I currently use), and I did run into issues like, the screen getting pressed by itself, screen scrolling itself up & down, But I think the worst thing, is the microphone, Literary, from the time when I bought the phone, after just a couple of days, I started to have issues that the Microphone just stops working in the middle of a call, I am not sure if it is the Hardware, or the Software issue but They should have already fixed it, which they did not. On other hand, a REALLY good thing the Xiaomi Smarphones did a really great job, is the Charging time, MAN, around 25Mins to have the phone fully charged from 0-100% is a game changer, you forgot to charge your phone before work? No Problem, Just plug it in, and before you manage to eat your breakfast, you have it fully charged and ready for the day.

@@justinsijbolts shipping outside the us is like 25€ plus import tax... They for a long time had no distribution outside of the US...
Don't know if that changed.
@@DooMMasteR Ah fair enough, wasn't aware of that
Bro, 12 pro comes in 8/128 8/256 and 12/256 variants starting at 880 $. Also keep in mind that this is competitor to S22 plus not Ultra. Waiting Xiaomi 12 Ultra later this year for that. Also there's possibility that it will come with 200w charger in the box. All things considered i would pick this anytime over Samsung or Apple. But unfortunately not enough upgrades to make me change my S21 Ultra...
Actually Brandon is really easy to get a Xiaomi case in their stores (at least here in LATAM) or AliExpress, there are more countries and markets outside north America Brandon
I've never seen a Xiaomi store in NA. Most people here don't shop from AliExpress much. The comment is sort of close minded, but probably rings true for most NA viewers.
It is funny how in north america people can't understand how huge xiaomi is. Top seller in smartphones
Imagine they made the video exactly 12 mins long. Wait a second, that's exact what they did. 😂😂
omg hahaha
its 11:59 for me :(
0:25 is riley the og dubber for this?
I've owned this phone for about 3 weeks so if anyone who is interested have any questions lmk
What are the max setting u can play pugbg with, and how many hours can u play pubg on a full charge
@@numanmuhammadali9350 hi you can run it at ultra, i didn't play long as i find mobile games (atleast shooters) insanely inconvenient to play but after 1 game i only lost like 1% battery i can't really provide much more than that, that's right after being charged to 100 btw
this feels like umbox therapy they dont know anything about the phone but they are playing with it
exactly. Its like watching the ultra average user when they find out something filled with features they understand about a quarter of them and thats just "oh wow many megapixels and big screen" and they are impressed.
I am surprised and disappointed by how little this crew knows outside Apple eco system! No one make cases for Xiaomi?! No idea what stock android looks like?
Yo dude xiaomi has its own dedicated fan base! We here in india love xiaomi's redmi series
This phone has an audio zoom feature, shame short circuit team didn't know.
Everytime, they've made a Xiaomi video, they seem to never show any knowledge about them. Same thing being said in the comments everytime
6:17 that's a regular plug to us 😄 Xoami is growing in SA
'make this into regular plug'
well, it is already that
most phones in india come with a case inbox including the budget options
And dual sim.
6:17 That's a regular plug port in India
Don't know about others countries
Can’t wait for the Oppo and Xaiomi phones in like 2 years time, where their fast charging is like 1 megawatt for some dumb reason, and apple will have just created the in display finger print scanner or some other dumb technology that every other company ever will have had forever lol
This thing is kinda too expensive...... The price of 12+256g version mi12pro in China is only about 850 US dollars.
I have a better question: can you MONEY the Xiaomi!?
What so you mean by you are angry about the charge???
Xiaomi is my main in Tekken
Canadians asking who is going to make a case for a xiaomi when the rest of the world (outside of us and Canada) is asking what the hell is a pixel phone? XD
I'm rocking an older Mi Max 3 and it is still a brilliant phone. Very impressed with Xiaomi. :)
sadly there's still no continuation to that amazing series
Bro I had xaiomis in the us, they started putting more bands because of other countries interest. You can buy them on ebay, amazon and some other sites, just make sure its the global version.
Global version doesn't mean US, it means non-Chinese. Name one major US retailer that sells them. Amazon doesn't count if it's not sold and shipped by them.
@@Hotlog69 listen bozo baggins, most global versions work fine, but to be truly sure you check the bands and compare it to your service.
@@ShiroTheSorrow What you do know about Bozo!? Where did I say that Global phones don't work in the US? Most don't work fine which is why you need to compare it to your service. As you said. Other than CDMA or GSM. If you buy a US phone, it'll work in the US without trouble.
With testing cameras, show us colour accuracy. Go grab some paint swaches like deep grey with a 1/4 of a drop of blue (un-noticable) for example and show us how colour accurate things are
"who is gonna make a case for this phone" Xiaomi now as the highest market share of android smartphone sales without even selling in America, but most Americans have no ideia about the Xiaomi sales in Europe, India, china etc...
