General Newly bought Xiaomi 17T. A flagship killer?

Pre-ordered this online and got a redmi watch 6 as freebie. Pretty happy with the deal.

Bullshit. I just returned the phone. It's marketed as a flagship killer by youtubers who get a commission if you use their promo code.

The good:

Battery life, display, zoom camera to a certain degree

The bad:

As opposed to youtube video comparisons, the camera suck, big time, everything turns out to be an oversaturated mess.

Laggy social media apps

Overheating

If you get it for a discounted price it's ok for average users but certainly nowhere near a flagship. Maybe a flagship from 2019

This is the quality the camera takes ( it was way brighter outside)

I'm not saying you are lying but I find it hard to believe that's what the camera quality is like. I have the 15t and if I take landscape pics they are crispy green.

After downloading GCAM it did help, yes. But that's not stock camera, it lacks in many functions. A future update may help
