Nowadays I don't migrate my WhatsApp. I instead add as a linked device. So that my account is live across my devices.

Curious to know: Are you all using the phone
- naked (no cover) [In order to switch to photo kit more easily?]
- photography kit by default
- cover (any good ones to recommend?)

I use the photography kit as my cover. Any time can transform to a camera

same as you, this phone seems like it checked all the boxes - but I've not used HyperOS before so idk how's the user experience with the software (or any quirky bugs that come with it).

I’m using the free crystal case.
Sucks la not much grip and fingerprint magnet.
No time to install my screen protector so using the default one. I’m still thinking which case to use. Not really feeling the red from the free photography kit. Wish they gave us a choice on the grey/gold version.


Just installed backup from my s23ultra.

Will setup my home screen and such next time.

for now just managed to install 300+ apps and updated hyperos and updated all apps via play store.

followed the guide to remove ads.

added WhatsApp with my linked device account.

so far feels a breeze. Quite smooth.
only gripe with Xiaomi os is the security when installing 3rd party apps and you get this warning screen which the system forces you to read the warning by not activating the OK button for like 10 seconds before allowing you to press ok.

tested the camera portrait on leica vibrant. Will try leica authentic tomorrow.

Which one do you guys keeps yours on? Vibrant vs authentic?

Ever since my 12s ultra Authentic. I am more into photography, I feel authentic reflects more IRL. You can always apply the vivd filter afterwards anyway

I tempted to just go with the photography kit case since i do intend to take a lot more photos with the phone, but gosh the colours stand out too much. i actually picked the 2 tone version because it looks like the old school Leica and Fuji X series camera. Sadly most covers will cover the look of the phone.

Yeah. The versatility of the phone in terms of lens coverage makes it a terrific phone for street photography. I would also appreciate it being discreet but the phone is definitely going to draw a lot of attention in shiny red.
