Stocks running out super fast. Those want to have first taste of mi 13 ultra better don't think twice. I holding back cause the screen is china brand and first time roll out such high end specs, need testbed then I can decide if want to buy or not.
guys also need to remember 13 ultra is more of camera than phone. weight distribution is not balance if without the grip. so daily use as phone might not be so comfortable.

Base on review, China screen technology is only about 6 months behind Samsung. I believe quite a few flagship are using China screen including Magic5 pro. In fact they tested S23U screen and find that the other phones with Samsung panel is a little better than S23U.

Really? I saw a few reviews the Honor Magic5 Pro is better than Samseng.

Not worried about power consumption more worried about if it can last or not. Just take a good look at mi 11 ultra where the initial batch got problem with the stupid sd888 heat issue. And earlier mi series using Tianma IPS panel suffering burn-in problems. Just not too sure if Xiaomi did enough testing to push out mi 13 ultra. I have no doubt on the camera. But other aspect are equally important since handphone is something that's very essential nowadays.

that also another risk since no local warranty but that's many months later.

more immediate concern is folks may think it handles like regular phone & might end up disappointed if use as daily phone

Base on one of the review suspect S23U not using Samsung highest end panel. Vivo X90P+ is using samsung panel, it is better than the S23U and Magic5P.

The warranty thing I not so worried. Only when encountering design problem or product inherited problem then warranty is headache but since traveling is opening up just find a chance to travel to china and get it fix at any Xiaomi service center will do.

Last time I broke my mi 9 camera glass got it fix at 100rmb with china Xiaomi and still got warranty extended. Very pleasant experience as compared again local service center.

Plus gst?
Altho govt new rules mentioned that all items from oversea need to pay gst even for below $400. My recent purchase using air freight never pay gst tho. It would be safer for u to buy from shopee. At least no need headache abt shipping.

using english to search in taobao often result in high priced item that are targeted at such audience.
What i meant is type in english but it will be translated into chinese. So it is using chinese to search in taobao. I guess likely the youtube guy use google translate.

Search phone in taobao very easy one
Ultra = 至尊版
Pro = pro
Non pro = leave it empty

So xm13u is 小米13至尊版
Using china shipping agent if u duno chinese, u wont be able to use them. Have to rely on ezbuy or singpost but they will charge gst and higher shipping fee.
