Xiaomi 13 series

Concur. For most folks.. ..F3 is good enough!

Same reasons..need good photo capabilities and a goood CPU/GPU as Insta360 is a resource hog when doing 360 videos.

Plus need the Gen2 cuz Gen1 was horrible at battery life.

U also from the realme gt2 pro right?

The gen1 chip overheats occasionally when i pak game lol. That's why I changed phone. (I still keeping the realme to game on my backbone one thou... But removed most apps)

yep. Realme GT2 Pro...couldn't even last half a day if i am roaming during travelling. No gaming or anything..just pics. The display however was awesome. Good thing the 13U is almost as good.

Looking forward to testing the 13U next month in some epic sites.

On another note...selfie cam on the 13U sucks bad...esp compared to my IP14. I think that's the only disappointment with the 13U plus the curved screen...

to illustrate how good the 13U camera is..the following are photos in a very difficult low light with a mix of fluorescent red and LED amber lights in the mix.

Main cameras:

What was unexpected was how good the ultra wide is in low light...the Real GT2 Pro's ultra was no good in low -light

bottomline is for scenery shots...the 13U is great...for people shot...fruit phone much better.

The camera is really good.. But i find that the uwa warps it a little too much.

If its a good shot, will be worth some post processing to straighten the photo.

Of course landscape generally OK but not for group shots.

I especially love the portraits... Occasionally will just snap friends and family for memory keeps

Was the difference between 13 Pro and 13 Ultra just the camera? Price wise and Spec wise they looked similar other than the camera side of stuff.
Want to change my last pocophone, but mi 14 series doesn't looekd attractive enough to wait. Was thinking of getting 13 Pro or 13Ultra to replace it.

It is normal. It is caused by the lens of every camera with (AF)+ (OIS), which moves freely when it is not active. When active, it moves in a magnetic field.

I am using the China set and loaded EU ROM, not sure if it's considered as Global ROM but so far so good, all apps are working fine.

EU ROM is mostly based on CN ROM. Personally do feel EU ROM is actually better than stock Global ROM.

Thanks, you loaded it yourself or it's done by the seller?

I loaded it myself, it's pretty straightforward actually. First thing is to unlock your bootloader, enable adb and the next step is to download the EU ROM itself and flash it via fastboot.

Yes, and they stripped down a lot of CN stuff hence it feels snappier.

Thanks, is there a website where I can follow the instructions and steps? TIA.

Also, will this EU ROMed unit get Ota new android updates?

Thanks, are you referring to the screen protector or the camera protector?
