I mentioned earlier I wasn't gonna keep the camera kit.

I've change my mind..not a photog but this has to be one of the most innovative design concepts ever. With upcoming vacation trips and this will be used alot. Gonna now pickup a polarizer filter for starters.

Couple this with the Insta360 X3...will be lots of good quality vacation pics/videos.

p.s and its so good to be back on Xiaomi running Dual Apps - until Google makes it native within Android..it is still the best vs anything out there.

I got the 2 in 1 set. Have not used the front tempered glass yet. Only used the lens protector.

Also picked up 4 gel screen protectors - but have not installed them.
I actually would suggest not to use lens protector. After personal experience just leave the lens as it is.
Initially is okay after awhile the quality of the photos drops and auto focus becomes a problem until I take it off.

Yesterday I got the phone from mobile hardware. I think they decided to deduct me $150 for the phone without gifts. So now the price is $1549.
$1549 is 512GB? What's the color sold in SG? Only black, white and green? Thanks

Question: In terms of hardware, is there a difference between the CN and SG sets? I recall that the last time I used NFC, I had to select the correct option in order to use the paywave; is this still the case now? Isn't it cheaper to buy the CN set if I'm going to flash the EU rom and don't need the warranty or freebies? Thanks.
Hardware no different. 13Ultra no need to select NFC mode unlike previous model. Depends on if you value the warranty and the freebies. To me, MIUI14 have definitely closed the gap between CN and Global ROM. Almost all if not all Chinese 3rd party apps can be uninstall without even ADB. Only annoying thing is you do get update notification etc from GetApps.

Just flash custom eu rom. And getapps notifications will be gone.

easier to just restrict notification or disable with adb... less than 1 minute work. Last time EU rom is popular due to many 3rd party app unable to uninstall, but definitely not true right now.

But cn rom can't get android auto and google assistant to work. So in the end still get custom eu rom.

My 12s ultra was having focusing issue also need to manually press to refocus, initially I thought maybe I drop too much. But then during night shots i realize the light distorted till like got astigmatism. Then peel off the lens protector becomes much better and the auto focus also goes back normal.

Hmmm maybe will just put a UV or polariser filter on it instead

Coming from Realme GT2 Pro which IMO has an excellent screen and fully usable in bright sunlight... The 13 Ultra is definitely even brighter and colors more vibrant.

Heptic feedback loses to Realme tho.
