Well, I am prepared to wait it out for price reduction or possibly next version even.
The rumoured prices already don't sound cheap, and if it's that high, getting an iPad Mini has more resale value than Android at least.

Will want to support but definitely not at Xiaomi's ambition to be "premium" price.
Unless they really work on their software experience and support, since their hardware is pretty great already, essentially replicating Apple since they are challenging Apple so intensely.

The pricing strategy seem to keep hiking every year which i acknowledge that xiaomi is going apart from budget friendly phone n tablet ,but looking at china users feedback on hyperos 3 is quite positive so hope it will have some improvement

Not putting much hope.
My F6 Pro, even though it's on HyperOS 2.0, the widgets offering not aligned one as compared to my older devices on HyperOS 2.0 too, and it's supposedly a relatively new model that came out in 2024 only.
And my recent service centre visit, the sharing I got from the technician was that for OS updates, it's not global unified versions still. Which means that devices of the same models but different model codes might not obtain aligned OS even in 2025/2026 or the near future. Even all the talk after the HQ management visiting external markets like SG last year, stating to bring changes to the entire software/supply/product offerings etc. yet to see any significant improvements.

If and when Xiaomi decides to provide a much more aligned OS and support, which I acknowledge they are doing on the support front for their main Xiaomi brand, then should it start charging "premium" prices. Otherwise, they should never bother breaking the midprice branding.
Want to be like/fight Apple, understand why people choose Apple for a start.

Edit: Seems like Xiaomi is finally starting to bring more products, but support and software wise, will have to wait and see if there's significant improvements at all even.
