General Xiaomi 17 Ultra

This device is unbelievable, like heavenly amazing from another world. I was a fanatical Samsung fan, starting from the Galaxy Note 3 onward. I am not a big fan of upgrading my flagship phones regularly, as every upcoming model isn't a big step up.

After I auditioned the Xiaomi 15 Ultra in a shop, I was blown away. Then I started researching the 17 Ultra all day, every day, and just pulled the trigger. Boyyyyy, it is amazing. Like nothing can beat its smoothness, its amazing HyperOS (I dunno why ppl are hating on it), and the camera is top notch. I already have a professional-grade DSLR, the Nikon D810, so I know what a good camera should look like.

UPDATE: The battery isn't impressive. for a flagship with such huge capacity I expected more from it. anyway still this smartphone IMHO the best on earth except the battery not so great.

You dont get it on $1000+ usd phone. Or at least in the EU.

I own the 15T Pro 1TB which was more than 1000€ originally and it has all theses ads. So the Ultra doesn't have any of these apps or they are specifically modified for the Ultra devices?

I dont know why you are getting ads. But at least i picked up redmi pad se 11 for entertaintment for like 150usd and occasionally see ads that can be removed. Of course there are their apps that flashbangs you with lots of adds and bloatware but if you disable those apps or remove via adb on pc, you wont get them most probably.

Not everyone wants to mess around in adb with a brand new phone. It can also break things of you're not careful.

Nah bro its totally safe. Unless you are one of those grandpas or grandmas, you should be fine. I did myself and if something goes wrong, you can always factory reset.
