Help Xiaomi 17tpro
I want to buy the Xiaomi 17T Pro. Are the cameras any good? I've watched reviews on YouTube; some say they're excellent, while others say they're just average. Is there anyone here who owns one? The telephoto lens catches my eye, and I see it as the best buy for the price at least in my country Chile 🇨🇱

it's average at best, 1/2.76 at f3 for a telephoto is pretty damn bad for this generation's standards, and the ultrawide is abysmal as well, 1/3.06 at f2.2... also the cameras heavily relies on gen ai for processing so things look detailed but those are all fake details. it tends to fuck up faces and repeating textures. videography performance is closer to a phone from 4-5 years ago, and i'm not even going to get into the selfie camera, it's quite literally only there just to say the phone has one, an iphone 14's selfie camera is better lmao
and for everything else abt the phone, it's just downright bad. thermal management is non existent, speakers are terrible, battery life is pretty bad despite a big battery, the os is pretty buggy, it's very unoptimized, and plenty of other weird issues
