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 case without the grip for my daily use. I also switched to the 67mm filter ring (provided in the package) and put on a cap to protect the lens.

Online exclusive so probably have to check with the online team. Don't bother with shopee because they are not responding. I think they are probably overwhelmed with queries on why they cannot redeem the freebies via the website.

My order status so stuck in prep for 3 days already

Sadly, the guy that manages the chat online is not provided the information on the restock. Have to rely on monitoring this thread and hopefully someone updates here when the 1TB variant is in stock on their website/shopee/lazada.

Will pm you if I happen to note the restock.

For those who ordered via Shopee, can I clarify by what they mean "contact customer service" to redeem the Photography Kit when order is confirmed.

They not responding to Shopee chat. Are they referring to customer service on website?
Is the order confirmed when I receive it, or when they ship it out?

When u received ur phone, just text the customer service on shopee and provide them ur mi account number. They will add a $198 discount voucher to ur mi store account to buy the photography kit at $1 after the $198 voucher and comes with a free gift u can choose. I just got my voucher 1 day after i contacted them. Successfully purchased the kit and shipment is 1-3 working days.

Thanks for the clarification. Wah this is such a dumb process. I have to wait twice in order to start using the photography kit 😅. They already shipped out my phone. Should give me the coupon so I don't have to wait twice the amount of time

No points guessing what is he most critical about the most regarding xiaomi phones... LOL. Yes its the weakest link and alot of the times the deal breaker for people... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohc1Fvu1eU0

Still At least I am now free from having to choose Custom rom and pixel watch compatibility or China rom but working bank apps...

HyperOS v1 was the main reason I left xiaomi ecosystem for good. MIUI was not bad, really dont understand the direction to go with HyperOS. As well as the lack of regular updates for the global rom phones.

Tried xm15u

Not bad quite light

The plastic feel is negligible

Didnt really try the os throughly but it looks pleasing to the eyes

Will wait for vivo x200u and make a comparison and monitor the situation

In the mean time, hope you guys enjoy ur brand new toy!!

After going thru 2 Pixels, the xiaomi charging speed was a nice welcome.

Feels pretty good, slight bit of concerns with the protruding lens element bit will probably need some protective glass or hydrogel over it soon.

Transfer of data and apps from my pixel 7 pro to 15 ultra was seamless.

Offhand my VPN app could not work with xiaomi 15 ultra .. slight bummer.

Hyper OS was ok at least for the few hours of fiddling.

Will test run the camera in due time.

Either lens cap with kit or those case with pertrusions to protect the lens glass. Would not put any lens protector over the 15U.

Similar discussion in 13U thread back when it was released..any lens cover would degrade the quality.

I was using the lens cover till I got a case with the raised pertrusions.
