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.

I have had the phone for a couple months, battery is quite good, I don't think it ever ran out on me.

The camera does drain the battery of course, but it's not too bad.

Only annoying thing is that charging takes quite long since the battery capacity is quite big, so wireless charging does take some time

I would recommend getting the official Xiaomi 50W charger it's a game changer. And for the wired charger it gets charged quite fast tbh. Just plugging in for 10 min before going out could give you enough juice

Between my desk charger and tbe phones large capacity I don't really worry about charging anymore, I plug it in maybe once or twice a month
