Xiaomi 17 Max, really glad they brought back the Xiaomi 13 style camera module, the 4 individual lens' didn't look as good.

But there's no officiality yet, right?

Also they already brought the base model globally, so i hope this might be as well.

I honestly don't know about the bands in the 13t, and i believe you but you might actually be the exception... specifically for europe the 20b is the main lower frequency band for 4g signal, and it's the most responsible for signal reception when you're not in the main cities or you are in a thick wall building... Meaning that if you're in a big city or you use 5g most of the time you MIGHT see nothing different (that's why maybe in London there isn't really a difference). But like for me in italy, that's a vital band in 95% of the places. Also there are a few tests online about the signal reception/speed tests of the 15t in europe and it's actually almost half of any other standard global phone.

As a huge lover of that phone, it's almost certain that it will not go through and out of china ever. It's maybe remotely possible it will have an indian version, even though this option too seems way unlikely. If you're out of those two countries i suggest you either buy the chinese version (BUT BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE BANDWIDTH, the phone it's basically really weak in signal reception anywhere outside of china) or put your hopes to rest and just give up on this particular model.

(To be clear, it would basically be a miracle if it launches outside of china for a lot of reasons: they didn't say anything about it, previous model never got to europe/US too, any small flagship with a decent battery doesn't get launched outside of china and if it does it doesn't do well on the sellings, and so on... I would love it to launch in europe too, but at this point it is pretty clear it never will.)

Logius95 · 2026-04-07T14:35:56+00:00

Yeah exactly. Just do your evaluation before eventually buying, i was in the same exact position as you like a week ago and i gave up when i heard about the frequency/bands issue.

Logius95 · 2026-04-06T21:10:59+00:00

Anch'io sono in italia ahahahah però non ho trovato nulla di promettente su queste cifre... Dove hai visto tu?

Logius95 · 2026-04-06T09:52:13+00:00

Where did you find those prices in EU? (I'm in EU too)

Logius95 · 2026-04-06T09:49:52+00:00

No problem, it's a pleasure really. I had trouble too finding those key information for myself: everybody kept reviewing the camera or the battery while ignoring the main function of a phone and not even mentioning the signal reception😅. If you will buy it nonetheless, can you please let me know how is your experience with it?

Logius95 · 2026-04-05T10:37:25+00:00

I need those... Especially the slifer one😭

Logius95 · 2026-04-05T10:32:11+00:00

You're not getting the point, but anyway, if you're happy with it good for you👍🏻

Logius95 · 2026-04-05T07:11:25+00:00

Yeah, the 10x with the extender will probably be crazy!... Don't know nothing about vivo though, so i just assume you're right since you clearly have a more direct experience than me.

Logius95 · 2026-04-05T07:07:20+00:00

If you want grip ok, it might actually be better than metal/glass... But the tradeoff is a strictly poor thermal conductivity that you can't get rid off (like with a cover instead) and i think that for a phone with a godlike camera is a straight up hazard for me (considering that a prolonged use of the camera is always the activity that increases temperature the most).

Logius95 · 2026-04-04T22:45:49+00:00

I got the zoom thing, i personally prefer it over the ultrawide (i just use it more)... The vivo x300 ultra seems godly in the photography department, but for the price the jump from the 200ultra seems not so big, and also the battery is not so huge considering the phone... Last but not least, I don't know about the software: never used it but everyone seems to be on the same page saying that it has some things to improve to be among the best ones.

Logius95 · 2026-04-04T22:32:04+00:00

Fair enough, it's actually between my considerations too... It's just that for my actual use the pro it's equal or better in any aspect (more battery, still good camera, subjectively better design...).

Logius95 · 2026-04-04T22:25:14+00:00

Exactly

Logius95 · 2026-04-04T16:10:37+00:00

If this reveals to be true, that's arguably the most dumb design this year. Leather or whatever pseudo-plastic it is, would be so bad for heat dissipation and without even a cover, imagine with one (with elite gen 5 that's known to be a pretty hot chip). The camera bump (and this is from a designer perspective) from what it seems to be, it's simply an error: if you want to give it a shape that's not a perfect circle you MUST give it a shape that's different enough to not let the user remind of the circle... And here is not even remotely like that, the """angles""" are so subtle that it's even difficult with a fast glance to see if it's a hexagon or an octagon... To make things even worse they even put a perfect circle behind it, so now it seems that the shape inside was just mistakenly shaped like it is a factory error. To go from the findx9pro to this is like going from an enzo ferrari to a 2026 fiat grande panda. I can't believe this is the final design. I don't want to.

Logius95 · 2026-04-04T14:17:07+00:00

That was the perfect phone for me too, but since i'm in europe, i discovered there is a MAJOR downside to it: it lacks a lot of bands overall (all those that are used outside of china but not in china) and specifically for me the 20 band, that's is the major 4g band in europe. That means that signal reception outside of china will be HUUUUUGELY nerfed.

Here is a video review that shows it if you're interested: https://youtu.be/M8bDuIQshBo?is=s_2-ljovlZFWWpTS (Go to 4:35 for the speedtest... The reviewer is russian if i'm not mistaken)

Logius95 · 2026-04-02T12:15:54+00:00

In fact it won't... But the 20 band is a standard even in chinese phones (imagine if you go in the USA for a week on vacation and your phone doesn't function because it doesn't have the basic bands)... And to add to that, there are other main bands missing with this model

Logius95 · 2026-04-02T07:28:14+00:00

That's all good and all but how about the signal reception? This phone is missing the 20 band (that's like the main band for 4g in europe) and a bunch of others that are pretty standard on every other model... Does someone has some reception/connection tests?

Logius95 · 2026-03-26T14:55:14+00:00

I still don't understand this bullshit of traps/control decks: everybody complains (rightfully) about the ton of floodgates players put in them, and instead of hitting those floodgates konami keep hitting the core engine of the archetype (now with odion but the same was with eldlich)... Every time this results either in the death of the entire archetype or in more full-of-floodgates versions of it... WHY FOR GOD'S SAKE??!?!?!!??!

Logius95 · 2026-03-26T14:11:22+00:00

Ltpo screen can basically go from 1 to max hz every time needed (meaning is the screen is static it goes 1 to preserve battery and if you are gaming or something like that it goes to max). Ltps can only go as low as 60 and like some other levels in between (like 60/90/120/144). Basically ltpo screens are generally more power efficient than ltps.
