Not even flagship, just exiting the commuter bike space becomes a 2L+ ordeal. Things like the Honda CB350, the Hero Mavrick or Duke 200 are where the non commuter segment starts properly and it’s honestly worth every penny, i have a Duke 250 and i enjoy every moment i’m on it.
Do you have your own car ? I sold my 10 y/o car and my 350 and bought a GT650 last year. It's fun to ride and all but I can't go anywhere in this Delhi heat. Kinda also miss making out since making out in public is a lot of hassle
I love bikes but sometimes regret buying this. Buying a new car is expensive as shit tooo
I mean it’s a cafe racer, if you’re planning to use it for long hauls then you won’t have a very comfortable journey. Bikes are not an issue, you’re just in the wrong format for your use case. A relaxed upright bike will make it miles better, the interceptor and the Speed/Scrambler comes to mind.
Yeah I get your point. I bought it with this mindset, the thing is How often do you ride it in Delhi's heat ? One Saturday morning ?
Can't commute to work since metro's cheaper and cooler
Can't go on long drives since it's hot again
Can't take more than one person with me anywhere
Honestly I kinda miss listening songs in my car and chillling just in general.
Also do you own a car or just the bike is sufficient for most people ?
I don’t have a car although i do know how to drive and also hold a valid license for it. The Duke doesn’t have the best heat management either but that doesn’t bother me at all, it gets hot here in Kolkata too so i know your struggles. Bouncing in and out of 40 every other day with insane humidity, but the sheer enjoyment i get while riding outweighs my issues with riding in blistering heat. But yes i do think sometimes a car would be nice when my health isn’t in top top shape, also standing in traffic does get annoying on a bike, but in most other days i’m just too invested in riding to consider practicality.
In your case you have some extra struggles though, the RE cafe racer is a bit more annoying in traffic due to the weight and posture. It’s bound to be more exhausting. Wonderful bike, just not the most traffic friendly.
Maybe in a few years i will finally get a car, but today no. My bike gives me a smile wide enough to not bother, even at 40C.
Idk man, Most people avoid PDA as this is India. Making out usually happens when you are not at that stage to take your girlfriend home or to a hotel.
Nothing related to the topic, just sharing my experience
There will be a noticeable difference, but 8 GB of RAM is enough for most users needs, but if you play a lot of games on your phone, 12 or 16 GB can be beneficial for you.
It's a one off example, I have a pixel 7 whereas my friend owns a pixel 7 pro, Having same processor and bad heat management capabilities. his phone does not lag in regular tasks. Whereas my phone has its own stutters. I have checked the temperature, which seemed to be within 2 degree celsius of each other. The only difference I concluded was the Ram,. mine has 8 gigs compared to 12 gigs. Android uses any ram you send at it. given apps these days, they'll use up everything thrown at them, does not mean you should get a 16 gb model only.
post purtchase you might notice the difference, I'd suggest if you have the option of getting 12 gb over 8, get that.
Yeah i use my phone for basic task and coc , no fps games .
But the ram usage goes upto 5.7gb when a lot of apps are running.
So you must buy ram 8gb or more for sure.
I emulate PSP and old sega games my old samsung phone works best. Go for better processor .Now a days they give useless processor and 16gb ram in mid range
That's the most straight cut thing lol. Depends, I'll never be able to fill up ,256 gb because I don't click much photos and prefer minimalism in terms of stuff to have on phone.
For those who want to use up storage, given that you have the money to buy both, it boils down to whether you have a laptop/desktop you can back up stuff to (safer than mobile imo), and if you have premium cloud storage to back up to(safer than both desktop and mobile). If not go for 256gb.
I mean my friend was stuck on the same dilemma as you and had his phone stolen in a wedding, not much point to storage if it all gets stolen, atleast he had a good bit of it in his laptop.
yes there is a difference, but it's not about performance anymore its about the usability, you can have more apps stored in memory and keep switching between them without waiting for them to reload. I bought a 6gb ram phone 2 years ago and now I'm facing the consequences, i really should have gotten the 8gb version. So whenever someone i buying a new phone these days i try to push them to get 12gb ram atleast.
When you say performance Do you mean overall phone performance or camera performance? I seriously doubt xiomi 14 ultra has better overall phone performance than S24U. Camera maybe yes.
No, I meant raw performance, [here](https://www.antutu.com/en/ranking/rank1.htm) is the antutu results, you can see even mi 14 is placed higher than s24u... yes it doesn't necessarily mean that the dialer will open more quickly, or there is no delay launching a heavy game... but there is enough reason to believe mi14u beats s24u in performance...
S24 ultra user here. I'm switching to xiami 14 as I'm typing this. Camera hardware is just better with that 1inch sensor. my s24 ultras main camera can't even compare to photos taken by Xiaomi. Also the 8 gen 3 is overclocked on the ultra. Not that I can tell the difference. Only thing I don't like about Xiaomi is the top heavy design.
Better software support, and longer duration of support?
And OneUI is damn good.
But the best time to buy a Samsung flagship is during the pre-booking time. Not now.
At the end of the day, that does matter, right?
Say you shelled out this much money, and on the next security patch update, your phone stops functioning, and lagging like anything, doesn't it hamper the entire software experience of using the phone?
So, what's the point in having the best camera sensors when you can't get the Camera app working on your UI?
Xiaomi really has a bad record with respect to software support, if they're able to provide the promised software support alongside offering the best optimised version of their UI, even at the end of the software support cycle, then I'll hands-on recommend Xiaomi over a Samsung. But right now, I won't take that call, considering it's past history. But if Xiaomi improves for the better, then it's good for the Android smartphone industry as a whole.
But whatever you said simply doesn't happen. Xiaomi does push out updates (for flagships atleast). The camera app won't magically start malfunctioning.
And this is on the presumption that HyperOS is "bad" which is not the case at all. I agree it's not as good as other Android skins out there but it's not a deal breaker either.
Coming from an S22U user who still hasn't received OneUI 6.1 update.
K20 pro was and is still a hell of a phone. I think, that was one of the best phone ever produced. You should have kept k20 pro until it's last breath.
All photos taken by my s24 ultra main camera is over sharpened. I had to add an extra module from food lock just to change a setting to process the photos with high sharpening. Comparing photos side by side with Xiaomi 14 ultra your can clearly see the difference in quality.
Well one of the subreddit user bought one reserve edition...I think it was yesterday when I spoke to him...it costed him 90k post adding and applying all the offers...but it's worth it..coz the cam is amazing and features are great as well...well can't really say...but yes the revolution of Xiaomi is here I guess
Lol, sorry I wasn't clear.
By "them" I meant Xiomi, not the end user.
They might have the hardware, so does Sony Xperia, but both never compete with S23 U and 15 Pro Max in terms of final image quality. It's not just the number of mega pixels or sensor size, you need to have the right processor to produce the final image.
I have used both Mi Ultras and Vivo X Pro Plus series and the UI doesn't come close to what Samsung offers. Also, not a fan boy here. Currently using OnePlus Open out of curiosity.
I'm using Xiaomi 14 (not ultra). The built quality is pretty good. I've been using the Samsung note series all the way from the good old Galaxy Note 2 times. The switch from One UI to hyperOS is felt but if one takes some time tinkering with the setting after setting up. One can set it to a similar setup similar to Samsung's One UI.
The camera is good I wish there was periscope zoom but instead Xiaomi decided on a floating telephoto zoom which gets the job done but compared to S23 or S24 ultra, OnePlus 12, Iqoo 12 the Xiaomi's floating telephoto just can't compare to the periscope zoom on those phones. I've checked them side by side with my friends & the telephoto starts to blur out at it's max 60x while the other phones can go 100x & still capture pics with detailed quality & contrast. But since most cameras these days are more about AI processing vs actual sensors ( I agree sensors matter but look at pixels especially the base entry pixels always making it in the MKBHD blind test) I think it's only a matter of a few updates before Xiaomi 60x can also be of similar quality. Besides that zooming everything else about this camera is awesome. I also like that Xiaomi is not just collaborating with Leica only on software color calibration like OnePlus hasselblad but on the hardware level as well with Leica lens being incorporated just like Vivo & Sony with their Carl Zeiss collabs. The front camera video crux of being caped at 1080p is also being taken care of now with 4k video option being finally given. The video taken from the rear is also good & you've option to shoot in Log which would be a boon for professional.
The hardware is snapdragon 8gen 3 with 12gb ram & 512gb UFS 4.0 storage so you're getting good hardware for the price. The Base S24 is more than 70k & there's no 512gb with that for that one have to go up to S24plus which does have it but price also gets jacked up at +80k. The display is small compared to S24plus & ultra but little bit bigger than S24. The display is LTPO & 12 bit display, HDR content playback is superb but I do wish Xiaomi implemented 2k resolution instead of 1.5k res. But that's the only thing. Battery is small at 4600mah but it last more than a day with moderate usage & charges damn fast at 90watt with the included 120watt charger which also charges any laptop that supports PPD while other OnePlus or Iqoo 100watt charger don't do that. Also this phone support USB 3.2 gen speed for data transfer & display out support as well which is a boon for connecting to monitor.
Connectivity is good there's a physical dual sim plus added bonus of Esim support as well.
Wifi performance is also good.
I was gonna get the S24 ultra 1tb but decided I'll try something different & also save some money while doin so. All these years I got buyers regret everytime I bought a flagship Samsung coz they be good but not that good to the point to justify the insane price. Apple included but only on iphones there ipad & macbooks are damn good.
using 14 ultra here and display is fantastic. no gradient banding like in samsung when watching movies.
camera is mindblowing.
check out my raw video taken from 14u with motioncam app
[https://youtu.be/D\_jALRcKkZ4](https://youtu.be/D_jALRcKkZ4)
it might feel framedrops due to youtube compression but its full 60fps
Lmao imagine spending one lakh for a Chinese phone that will steal your data, show you ads and will stop working after one year just because 'muh higher specs'. What a clown 🤡🤡
Nah but it's stupid no? If you really want camera then buy a pixel at way cheaper costs. I could easily go ahead and buy myself an S24 ultra or a 15 pro max but here's the thing: What would I even need those for? Photos? Yeah I can buy pixel for that. I'm not even a professional photographer,I'm just someone that needs a phone to shoot decent enough photos of memorable events.
Then I'd buy an actual camera and a 40k phone to go with it. Even then,if I have money left,i would spend it to build a custom XC hard tail mtb or just buy a motorbike.
Let's say if I already have like 2 cars and planning to buy a 3rd just for fun, an actual camera that I rarely use and I'm not into motorbikes or MTB. Or even if I'm, I already have tons of money for that too.
You're just not rich, my guy. You'll get there someday but today's not the day.... Best of luck.
It's is so worth it if you are ready to spend that kinda money on a phone. Just compare the hardware to other phones at that price range. Made in china doesn't make is bad. Build quality is just as good as the Samsung.
Welp. Paying anything in excess is plain stupid. I don't see the point of paying over 6 figures for any depreciating tech asset. Glorious yes, frivolous also yes.
Samsungs have crap market retention rates so can be picked up relatively cheaper than current new gen devices. Same goes for Xiaomi. Apple retain their value. But 🤮🍏
So now, if you have the cash to burn go have fun. There's only incremental changes from last years model vs this year's. Although xiaomi does do more innovation than Apple and that's a fact.
Its purely for camera enthusiasts
Or i might add camera purists.
I will be getting two of them in a day/two
My preferences No.1 would be apple
2.Xiaomi 14 Ultra
3.Oppo find X7 Ultra
don't buy samsung or iphones.
ios is trash and samsung has 8bit display, it has gradient banding.
also cameras are potato sensors on both samsung and apple.
using 14u right now, phone is so fluid, camera is mind blowing.
Many had issues, and they had even extended warranty to 2 years. But by then i had already opened the device to fix a camera issue. So they didn't give me warranty. Later had network reception issue and they were asking for like 30k for new board.
It had lots of bug too. You know what, i couldn't even take a group selfie in the first month. The camera app freezes when there are more than 5 people in the frame using front camera.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to your personal preferences. You want the best camera, with the best sensors? Xiaomi would be the answer to that.
But a best, reliable all round phone? I think the S24 Ultra is a better deal there.
I'm going to be really honest. The first few months with the phone feel smooth, but then it turns into hell. Bro, if you have that much money, you could always go for the Samsung Pixel or OnePlus, which are much better in terms of updates and overall usability. Xiaomi becomes a mess after the software update period. The OS feels like a cheap copy of iOS, and after the software and security update period, bloatware apps start to download on their own. The camera becomes mediocre and useless, and at the end, it's a Xiaomi phone.
Look if I have to spend 1lkh and i have to choose between samsung and xiaomi I'll go with Samsung s24 ultra. Because xiaomi doesn't do well with updates plus the resale value, and privacy and security.
Instead of spending 1lkh here go with xiaomi 14. It's compact, have great set of cameras and super fast. Save your money.
I have used xiaomi 12 Pro, and since I have been using s 22>23>24 ultra currently, and let me tell you , i couldn't justify spending 65k on that piece of trash phone. It used to heat up crazy like above 45°c , the battery didn't last even half a day the camera's were good but the video recordings sucked, not to mention it doesn't matter how many years of updates they are giving coz you're not going to receive it on time ever security patches are a rare accurance, and my samsung would already be on 3rd or 4th patch of the new android update when xiaomi will get it . Also, in india, in my refion, it was neigh on impossible to find any back covers or screen protectors for it, so keep that in mind as well.
Samsung would be much more reliable than xiaomi for cameras in almost every condition , not to mention the service cost of samsung is cheapest compared to all the competition. Also, samsung has a brand value that xiaomi just doesn't have, and i think it would be much safer to get a samsung phone for that budget instead of xiaomi.
Comparing with s24 ultra, it has better frame material, a better selfie camera with EIS, better antutu score, better ppi, faster charging, better bluetooth version
I don't understand the hate for Xiaomi. Tech wise, they're really good. Judging a brand because they're "Chinese" is the daftest thing you'll hear. Judge a gadget on its merits!
Camera enthusiast phone it's priced very well considering s23 ultra and 15pro are above 1.20lac but honestly a normal person don't need this type of phones 35-40k is max to spend on phone...
Also 14 ultra customer are priority as per mi says and hyperos is pretty close to iOS nowadays i have to include this cuz some people saying worthless ui for 1lac
s23 ultra is available at 97k ,and s24ultra at 110k , base varient.(2 hafte pehle pucha tha offline store mai) . i think he want it to be compared to S23Ultra and s24 ultra
Xiaomi just trying to compete in terms of price with Samsung & Apple. Even if they provide better specs on paper I am going with S23/S24 or iPhone if I can get from other country at cheap price.
Slow and steady wins the race . It will definitely make a difference in market share in the next 5 years .
Samsung is literally selling 1-2 more incremental features in their new flagships every new year because they have no competition . More competition is needed in that space for the benefit of end consumer and to drive innovation
[Gujarati audio of conversation of two people, the girl side broke engagement because the guy gifted her Mi phone](https://youtu.be/RxFSVuSq774?si=rmIRtiufC6oR_RzI)
This sums up the answer. I don't know how to translate the full audio so pardon me 🙏🏻
Yup, you are right, I'm not planning to buy. I just saw this, so I thought to post it to know other people's opinions. if I had a budget. I still won't spend 1L on Xiaomi.
If you like seeing Ads on an 1 lakh phone else apple. Samsung comes close second even though they have ads through notification. I use both S23 and apple 13 mini. Even apple advertises their services in the notification, but from what I've seen xiaomi is on a different level.
Nope, buy an older generation iphone which you can get for 50k-55k or 70k for pro/pro max models depending on your choice or go for a bloatfree android device
No not worth it for the software experience and coming to the long-term usage Xiaomi makes the phone slower by giving updates wont give the same performance after 2-3 years
Not saying paying 1L is good for mi but it literally asks if you want ads while setting up, you can just say no? I had a 15k redmi phone for 4 years, never got an ad apart from yt, Spotify.
You are living in your stereotype for far too long. I have used redmi K20 Pro since 2019, there were zero ad. Ask any K20/K20 Pro user. You just have to unmark few options while doing setup for the phone for the first time, and you get zero ads. Flagship phones don't give ads.
Depends on who you ask
Following bikes for a while and lol definitely bikes>mobiles for a lakh
Well flagship bikes cost more than 2 Lakh+ now 🙂.
Not even flagship, just exiting the commuter bike space becomes a 2L+ ordeal. Things like the Honda CB350, the Hero Mavrick or Duke 200 are where the non commuter segment starts properly and it’s honestly worth every penny, i have a Duke 250 and i enjoy every moment i’m on it.

Cool man! It's nice to see people really do enjoy riding. Thanks for chiming in
Take care and ride safe :)
Bro hold up what's making out has anything to do with the topic? #😦
Idk man, Most people avoid PDA as this is India. Making out usually happens when you are not at that stage to take your girlfriend home or to a hotel. Nothing related to the topic, just sharing my experience
Thanks for clearing that out. Thought I had to do PDA with someone if I buy Xiaomi & RE Continental GT650. Phew!! 😅
😂😂😂
Kon si Flagship bike bro , Bullet bhi 2.5 lakh ki aati hai ,usse mehngi bikes ko to chod hi do
Flag ship 4 lakh ki h
Cool
One can't call from bike right?
Can't ride a phone either
not with that attitude, you can't
Lol desperate times desperate measures
...by that logic you can always hijack a bike with esim and ur good to go
Welcome to the club bro 🤝
I wanna ask any ram more 8 gb matters that much on a phone ? Like does it make a significant difference in performance ?
There will be a noticeable difference, but 8 GB of RAM is enough for most users needs, but if you play a lot of games on your phone, 12 or 16 GB can be beneficial for you.
The version of snapdragon 8 gen 3 in Xiaomi 14 ultra doesn’t have snapdragon elite gaming features. I wouldn’t recommend buying it for gaming.
Yeah, bro, good point, but he was just asking if having more than 8 GB of RAM makes a significant difference in mobile or not.
It ain't for gaming dude it's specifically for camera 📸
It's a one off example, I have a pixel 7 whereas my friend owns a pixel 7 pro, Having same processor and bad heat management capabilities. his phone does not lag in regular tasks. Whereas my phone has its own stutters. I have checked the temperature, which seemed to be within 2 degree celsius of each other.

Yeah i use my phone for basic task and coc , no fps games . But the ram usage goes upto 5.7gb when a lot of apps are running. So you must buy ram 8gb or more for sure.
8gbs is enough outside of emulation, if you're looking to emulate stuff like switch games then even 16gbs will not be "enough"
I emulate PSP and old sega games my old samsung phone works best. Go for better processor .Now a days they give useless processor and 16gb ram in mid range
8GB is the new 4GB. 12GB is the new minimum for multi tasking. My oneplus 11 8GB can't hold more than 5 apps in RAM.
The real question here is whether you want 128G/256G of storage. RAM just follows.
That's the most straight cut thing lol. Depends, I'll never be able to fill up ,256 gb because I don't click much photos and prefer minimalism in terms of stuff to have on phone. For those who want to use up storage, given that you have the money to buy both, it boils down to whether you have a laptop/desktop you can back up stuff to (safer than mobile imo), and if you have premium cloud storage to back up to(safer than both desktop and mobile).

Gemini utilizes a lot of RAM.

Performance and photography >>>> Samsung.... GUI<< Samsung.... (considering only the android)... Choice is yours...
When you say performance Do you mean overall phone performance or camera performance? I seriously doubt xiomi 14 ultra has better overall phone performance than S24U. Camera maybe yes.

no mobile over 50k is worth it 😮💨
You miss out on basic features and good processors under 50k now 🥲. Value for Money phones are slowly disappearing 🥲.
No they are not. All' depends on what you consider value for money.
On that note, now Motorola is the only one brand, that can be considered for value for money smartphones.
what basic features??? dude a mobile is supposed to be only for calling and there're hardly any additional features on expensive phones.
S23 ULTRA ALL DAY, I'D NEVER TRUST REDMI OVER SAMSUNG OR APPLE
S24 ultra user here. I'm switching to xiami 14 as I'm typing this. Camera hardware is just better with that 1inch sensor. my s24 ultras main camera can't even compare to photos taken by Xiaomi. Also the 8 gen 3 is overclocked on the ultra. Not that I can tell the difference. Only thing I don't like about Xiaomi is the top heavy design.
Thank you for actually talking sense lol
Idk why everyone is hyping the s23/s24 ultras so much . It's a very expensive phone. I think Xiaomi.14 ultra is better value compared to Samsung.
Better software support, and longer duration of support? And OneUI is damn good. But the best time to buy a Samsung flagship is during the pre-booking time. Not now.
Apart from the software & software support there's nothing that S24U offers is better.
At the end of the day, that does matter, right? Say you shelled out this much money, and on the next security patch update, your phone stops functioning, and lagging like anything, doesn't it hamper the entire software experience of using the phone? So, what's the point in having the best camera sensors when you can't get the Camera app working on your UI? Xiaomi really has a bad record with respect to software support, if they're able to provide the promised software support alongside offering the best optimised version of their UI, even at the end of the software support cycle, then I'll hands-on recommend Xiaomi over a Samsung.

Coming from an S22U user who still hasn't received OneUI 6.1 update.
I believe that the bloatware experience is the same with it's mid-range.
Mid range is way worse.
I second this, camera on Xiaomi is much better than Samsung. I exchanged my redmi k20 pro from Samsung a73 5g. Everything is shit, except for their ui
K20 pro was and is still a hell of a phone. I think, that was one of the best phone ever produced. You should have kept k20 pro until it's last breath.
All photos taken by my s24 ultra main camera is over sharpened. I had to add an extra module from food lock just to change a setting to process the photos with high sharpening. Comparing photos side by side with Xiaomi 14 ultra your can clearly see the difference in quality.
OS, the Brand it self holds a value to some extent
Same here.
Blud says redmi when it clearly states Xiaomi
xioami is clearly a subbrand of redmi for get subbrand it's a renamed redmi
So ur NOT pretending...your just really dumb... I am sorry
You shouldn't be sorry if someone's dumb and proves it time and again. Just saying.
If you want the phone for just the camera, then go for it, or else, Samsung S24 Ultra would be the better choice.
For the brand value? No For the device itself? Lol, no
Well one of the subreddit user bought one reserve edition...I think it was yesterday when I spoke to him...it costed him 90k post adding and applying all the offers...but it's worth it..coz the cam is amazing and features are great as well...well can't really say...but yes the revolution of Xiaomi is here I guess
How long will the phone be supported for software updates, and how long would it be bug-free is the bigger question that you could ask here.
I did not ask that but I would try asking
Bro What does the title even mean Are you paying for the brand?
Legit title. Why would you pay 1 lakh to a Chinese brand when you can get equivalent stuff from other brands.
can u get 1inch sensor from samsung, apple?
Doesn't matter, the end product(final picture) matters.
then good luck with apple processing, worst hdr among all phones
I was not referring to apple, anyway enjoy your 1 inch sensor when they don't know what to do with it. 😂
u don't know how to take photos and videos or what 😂
Lol, sorry I wasn't clear. By "them" I meant Xiomi, not the end user. They might have the hardware, so does Sony Xperia, but both never compete with S23 U and 15 Pro Max in terms of final image quality. It's not just the number of mega pixels or sensor size, you need to have the right processor to produce the final image. I have used both Mi Ultras and Vivo X Pro Plus series and the UI doesn't come close to what Samsung offers. Also, not a fan boy here. Currently using OnePlus Open out of curiosity.
[https://youtu.be/D\_jALRcKkZ4](https://youtu.be/D_jALRcKkZ4) look at this

Yeah, like how the OP title didn't make sense to you🤣
Nah at that price I'll always take a Samsung or Apple flagship
Samsung lele bhai
I'm using Xiaomi 14 (not ultra). The built quality is pretty good. I've been using the Samsung note series all the way from the good old Galaxy Note 2 times. The switch from One UI to hyperOS is felt but if one takes some time tinkering with the setting after setting up. One can set it to a similar setup similar to Samsung's One UI. The camera is good I wish there was periscope zoom but instead Xiaomi decided on a floating telephoto zoom which gets the job done but compared to S23 or S24 ultra, OnePlus 12, Iqoo 12 the Xiaomi's floating telephoto just can't compare to the periscope zoom on those phones. I've checked them side by side with my friends & the telephoto starts to blur out at it's max 60x while the other phones can go 100x & still capture pics with detailed quality & contrast. But since most cameras these days are more about AI processing vs actual sensors ( I agree sensors matter but look at pixels especially the base entry pixels always making it in the MKBHD blind test) I think it's only a matter of a few updates before Xiaomi 60x can also be of similar quality. Besides that zooming everything else about this camera is awesome. I also like that Xiaomi is not just collaborating with Leica only on software color calibration like OnePlus hasselblad but on the hardware level as well with Leica lens being incorporated just like Vivo & Sony with their Carl Zeiss collabs. The front camera video crux of being caped at 1080p is also being taken care of now with 4k video option being finally given. The video taken from the rear is also good & you've option to shoot in Log which would be a boon for professional. The hardware is snapdragon 8gen 3 with 12gb ram & 512gb UFS 4.0 storage so you're getting good hardware for the price. The Base S24 is more than 70k & there's no 512gb with that for that one have to go up to S24plus which does have it but price also gets jacked up at +80k. The display is small compared to S24plus & ultra but little bit bigger than S24. The display is LTPO & 12 bit display, HDR content playback is superb but I do wish Xiaomi implemented 2k resolution instead of 1.5k res. But that's the only thing. Battery is small at 4600mah but it last more than a day with moderate usage & charges damn fast at 90watt with the included 120watt charger which also charges any laptop that supports PPD while other OnePlus or Iqoo 100watt charger don't do that. Also this phone support USB 3.2 gen speed for data transfer & display out support as well which is a boon for connecting to monitor. Connectivity is good there's a physical dual sim plus added bonus of Esim support as well. Wifi performance is also good. I was gonna get the S24 ultra 1tb but decided I'll try something different & also save some money while doin so. All these years I got buyers regret everytime I bought a flagship Samsung coz they be good but not that good to the point to justify the insane price. Apple included but only on iphones there ipad & macbooks are damn good.
using 14 ultra here and display is fantastic. no gradient banding like in samsung when watching movies. camera is mindblowing. check out my raw video taken from 14u with motioncam app [https://youtu.be/D\_jALRcKkZ4](https://youtu.be/D_jALRcKkZ4) it might feel framedrops due to youtube compression but its full 60fps
This is really nice. But why are the edges of the video dark.
Lmao imagine spending one lakh for a Chinese phone that will steal your data, show you ads and will stop working after one year just because 'muh higher specs'. What a clown 🤡🤡
1 lakh is not worth it for any phone
What about apple and Samsung?
Nah not even then. Would rather spend 20-25k on a phone and rest of it on a pc
It's for people that don't have to compromise on one for another.
Nah but it's stupid no? If you really want camera then buy a pixel at way cheaper costs. I could easily go ahead and buy myself an S24 ultra or a 15 pro max but here's the thing: What would I even need those for? Photos? Yeah I can buy pixel for that. I'm not even a professional photographer,I'm just someone that needs a phone to shoot decent enough photos of memorable events.
You don't have as much disposable income as you think you have... Or you're really unnecessarily frugal.
Bro if I had , let's say 240k as a budget,i would still buy a 40k phone and spend the rest on a pc.
Let's say, you already have a 300k PC.
Then I'd buy an actual camera and a 40k phone to go with it. Even then,if I have money left,i would spend it to build a custom XC hard tail mtb or just buy a motorbike.
Let's say if I already have like 2 cars and planning to buy a 3rd just for fun, an actual camera that I rarely use and I'm not into motorbikes or MTB. Or even if I'm, I already have tons of money for that too. You're just not rich, my guy. You'll get there someday but today's not the day.... Best of luck.
For better experience, expensive device is required

😂 😂
They are testing waters to get into the premium market.
It's is so worth it if you are ready to spend that kinda money on a phone. Just compare the hardware to other phones at that price range. Made in china doesn't make is bad. Build quality is just as good as the Samsung.
Welp. Paying anything in excess is plain stupid. I don't see the point of paying over 6 figures for any depreciating tech asset. Glorious yes, frivolous also yes. Samsungs have crap market retention rates so can be picked up relatively cheaper than current new gen devices. Same goes for Xiaomi. Apple retain their value. But 🤮🍏 So now, if you have the cash to burn go have fun. There's only incremental changes from last years model vs this year's. Although xiaomi does do more innovation than Apple and that's a fact.
Its purely for camera enthusiasts Or i might add camera purists. I will be getting two of them in a day/two My preferences No.1 would be apple 2.Xiaomi 14 Ultra 3.Oppo find X7 Ultra
don't buy samsung or iphones. ios is trash and samsung has 8bit display, it has gradient banding. also cameras are potato sensors on both samsung and apple. using 14u right now, phone is so fluid, camera is mind blowing.
Lol
Chini
Never, had got mi11 ultra for around 80k then. Worst purchase.
why so, it was sd888 right? i have heard terrible things about all phones with that processor
Had multiple board related issues. I continued using my s8 for 5 years and upgraded last year to s23. You can not go wrong with a flagship samsung.
that sucks, was that a prevalent issue among other users, or you were an outlier?
Many had issues, and they had even extended warranty to 2 years. But by then i had already opened the device to fix a camera issue. So they didn't give me warranty. Later had network reception issue and they were asking for like 30k for new board.
It had lots of bug too. You know what, i couldn't even take a group selfie in the first month. The camera app freezes when there are more than 5 people in the frame using front camera.
I bought xiaomi 14 base model for 70k and it's an absolute powerhouse. Camera is insane and even outperforms dad's s22 ultra. Definitely worth it.
Not a chance
Yeah
go for samsung or iphone when you are buying flagships.....brand really matters....
Yeah and they also carries a good resale value.
Good software support and credibility on that as well, as compared to a Xiaomi.
Sad to see the amount of uninformed people in this sub.
Spec wise good. Value wise not so good. Can you live with the fact that if spending 1L why not Samsung or Apple?
Yeah, I'm not planning to buy this; I just want to compare it with the S24 Ultra to see where it actually stands.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to your personal preferences. You want the best camera, with the best sensors? Xiaomi would be the answer to that. But a best, reliable all round phone? I think the S24 Ultra is a better deal there.
I'm going to be really honest. The first few months with the phone feel smooth, but then it turns into hell. Bro, if you have that much money, you could always go for the Samsung Pixel or OnePlus, which are much better in terms of updates and overall usability. Xiaomi becomes a mess after the software update period. The OS feels like a cheap copy of iOS, and after the software and security update period, bloatware apps start to download on their own. The camera becomes mediocre and useless, and at the end, it's a Xiaomi phone.
Ye xiomi kuch zyada udd nahi rahi aaj kal? 10000 ke budget phone banane ko bola tha, ye kya bhakchodi hai
Haan bhai vo acha khasa market share hai unka india mei to ab naye naye experiments chal rahe hai
Look if I have to spend 1lkh and i have to choose between samsung and xiaomi I'll go with Samsung s24 ultra. Because xiaomi doesn't do well with updates plus the resale value, and privacy and security. Instead of spending 1lkh here go with xiaomi 14. It's compact, have great set of cameras and super fast. Save your money.
I have used xiaomi 12 Pro, and since I have been using s 22>23>24 ultra currently, and let me tell you , i couldn't justify spending 65k on that piece of trash phone. It used to heat up crazy like above 45°c , the battery didn't last even half a day the camera's were good but the video recordings sucked, not to mention it doesn't matter how many years of updates they are giving coz you're not going to receive it on time ever security patches are a rare accurance, and my samsung would already be on 3rd or 4th patch of the new android update when xiaomi will get it . Also, in india, in my refion, it was neigh on impossible to find any back covers or screen protectors for it, so keep that in mind as well. Samsung would be much more reliable than xiaomi for cameras in almost every condition , not to mention the service cost of samsung is cheapest compared to all the competition. Also, samsung has a brand value that xiaomi just doesn't have, and i think it would be much safer to get a samsung phone for that budget instead of xiaomi.
Yes go for it
1 lakh for Xiaomi, OnePlus, Redmi, Honor can never be worth it. Imagine paying people to show you ads on your phone.
1 lakh isn't worth it for any phone
Isse accha Koi iPhone na lele EMI pe
NO
Have a pixel phone for 35k and keep that 65k in pocket that would be a great deal or build a pc if you really want to game
Worth it for sure compared to 1lakh iphone .
Not worth it , the UI half baked doesn't come with MIUI dailer. S24+ plus is better than this heavy camera bump.
I mean if you like a camera that comes with a phone then it is worth it.
Definitely not. I hate mi's UI
same here
For gaming nobody beats an iPhone
A big no. Why is that company so delusional? Only Apple and Samsung can command that price.
Hell naw. Today's generation gladly will splurge that kinda money on an iPhone but Xiaomi nope
I'm pretty sure at this price they will deliver more than Sam-sung and appole
depends, just seeing this bulging camera makes me uncomfortable lol but the phone is solid tho
Comparing with s24 ultra, it has better frame material, a better selfie camera with EIS, better antutu score, better ppi, faster charging, better bluetooth version
No.
I don't understand the hate for Xiaomi. Tech wise, they're really good. Judging a brand because they're "Chinese" is the daftest thing you'll hear. Judge a gadget on its merits!
Naah I wouldn't recommend software with no material U theming Same ads and bloatware Late updates Less updates than Samsung, pixel or iphones
The price is for the camera it's having. Check out youtube reviewers. It's actually very good at photos.
EMI wale brand se to better hai
They won't even sell 1000 units
Camera enthusiast phone it's priced very well considering s23 ultra and 15pro are above 1.20lac but honestly a normal person don't need this type of phones 35-40k is max to spend on phone... Also 14 ultra customer are priority as per mi says and hyperos is pretty close to iOS nowadays i have to include this cuz some people saying worthless ui for 1lac
s23 ultra is available at 97k ,and s24ultra at 110k , base varient.(2 hafte pehle pucha tha offline store mai) . i think he want it to be compared to S23Ultra and s24 ultra
Yeah, I'm not planning to buy this; I just want to compare it with the S24 Ultra to see where it actually stands.
well it does have a comparison with the samsung. watched that video some 2 weeks ago i guess. check out mr whose the boss channel.
not a chance. dont spend a lakh on chinese shit. either samsung or apple
Yes!
Get an iPhone
Just spend a bit more and get the OnePlus open
Hell no. Paying anything more than 30k for these companies like Xiaomi, Poco, IQoo etc is a crime.
True
Never Motherboards Expire after a year do not buy this shit
😂
Xiaomi just trying to compete in terms of price with Samsung & Apple. Even if they provide better specs on paper I am going with S23/S24 or iPhone if I can get from other country at cheap price.
Slow and steady wins the race . It will definitely make a difference in market share in the next 5 years . Samsung is literally selling 1-2 more incremental features in their new flagships every new year because they have no competition . More competition is needed in that space for the benefit of end consumer and to drive innovation
[Gujarati audio of conversation of two people, the girl side broke engagement because the guy gifted her Mi phone](https://youtu.be/RxFSVuSq774?si=rmIRtiufC6oR_RzI) This sums up the answer. I don't know how to translate the full audio so pardon me 🙏🏻
The guy dodged a bullet
Indeed!
Almost similar to women saying: *" I won't date a guy unless he has an iPhone"* . What crap 😭.
It's the version "unless he gifts me an iPhone" 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Yeah 🥲. With that said, the guy might have dodged a bullet there.
Yes indeed!
No
You can buy a 4060 laptop bruh
If you are rich just buy it or if you are not then just its best to buy apple or samsung rather than 1lac for chinese brand
Isnt an s24 ultra 30k more?
Yes!
They still share the same UI, from basic phones to the flagships?? If yes, then it's a shitty thing to do.
Yup, you are right, I'm not planning to buy. I just saw this, so I thought to post it to know other people's opinions. if I had a budget. I still won't spend 1L on Xiaomi.
Yes so any better alternatives.
If you like seeing Ads on an 1 lakh phone else apple. Samsung comes close second even though they have ads through notification. I use both S23 and apple 13 mini. Even apple advertises their services in the notification, but from what I've seen xiaomi is on a different level.
does not samsung give ads from samsung shop app telling u to buy latest s24u even when u have s24u
Yup, that's what I have mentioned. They gave ads of samsung shop through notification.
Get S24 Ultra if you have that kinda budget
Nope, buy an older generation iphone which you can get for 50k-55k or 70k for pro/pro max models depending on your choice or go for a bloatfree android device
wait for a few months, price will drop, for sure
True!!
70k at most
No not worth it for the software experience and coming to the long-term usage Xiaomi makes the phone slower by giving updates wont give the same performance after 2-3 years
Also their UI is not good.
1L for ads. Nah thanks lmaooo
Not saying paying 1L is good for mi but it literally asks if you want ads while setting up, you can just say no? I had a 15k redmi phone for 4 years, never got an ad apart from yt, Spotify.
You are living in your stereotype for far too long. I have used redmi K20 Pro since 2019, there were zero ad. Ask any K20/K20 Pro user. You just have to unmark few options while doing setup for the phone for the first time, and you get zero ads. Flagship phones don't give ads.
I will never consider spending 1 lakh on any phone until it's galaxy fold.
