Saw their disclaimer, not sure if it would affect our local apps:

Global ROM:It supports multiple languages .Support OTA Update
Note: The unlock bootloader has been unlocked and the ROOT permission has been turned on (this is the prerequisite for installing the global ROM). Certain banking applications and certain applications may not be available. (Applications for refunds and returns for this reason will be rejected. Please note)

NFC(maybe some country not work,we can't sure this.)
This sounds stupid when Xiaomi eu rom fix everything without even any rooting.

Then why would you quote my post about pricing in the first place?? Im just stated my guess on local pricing
I just mentioned the hongkong SGD equivalent since no one mentioned before your post. I just thought it's better to compare global price of Chinese phones within Asia.

Then after your post, someone incorrectly coverted that the wrong exchange rate, which inflated the HK global figure.

Anyway we can stop here, I'm not interested to discuss further on this

How are the ergonomics of handling the Xiaomi 13 Ultra? I have heard people saying that it is too top heavy and therefore unbalanced due to heavy camera module.
I agree. It is substantial. Plus the shape makes it very difficult to place on a phone stand whether horizontally or vertically. I like it as a camera and have permanently placed the photokit on - I feel it balances out the top heavy part. I also prefer its OS to all the Android Chinese phones with the exception of Huawei (although that is a local set and not Chinese ROM).

That said, the 13u is not my main or second line but my third due to its heft. I am a little annoyed with Vivo's OS and I def prefer 13u's camera but have gone with the X90 pro+ as my work line because it is just more convenient to carry around.

TBH the weight distribution is ok, its just because of the camera bump, you can only hold on to the bottom half of the phone mostly instead of in the middle. Other than that the bump is quite nice to have as your phone will be tilted down on the desk with minimal movement.

May I know your rationale for the above statement? Genuine question not trolling
I think most people know that custom Xiaomi eu rom only needs bootloader unlock and all apps works without needing to root it.
Is exactly like global rom and safetynet check pass.

Buying export set means taking the risk for warranty. For me weighting the cost I would take it up don't think too much.

I supposed It will be tilted at angle and the edge of the camera bump circle will get the beating scratches.

The tilt is surprisingly pleasant, its much better than many phone that tilt on one corner. Scratches is pretty much norm for any phones anyway you using a case.

How did you find the adherence of the photo kit to the phone? HK review I saw mention it's loose but what did u think?
Did the review mention a lock button? There is this button that seems to catch and hold the attachment. I find it very firm and no issues. My gripe is I know how to turn it on but not how to turn it off without disabling Bluetooth on the phone 😂

Mine is a local mi13pro from EIN, wired android auto keeps dropping.

Wireless can't even connect.

Does anyone have any solutions for this?

Anyone encountered screen issue with their new 13s? Sometimes, i can't pull down the notification bar and certain areas not sensitive to touch unless I reboot the phone. I did not drop my phone before. TIA

it was a passing comment why they didn't buy the attachment as they tried it was too loose.
