My wife have mi 10. I don't really recommend mi brand for long period use.

I still remember few months after she use the phone, after going through ota update, the device not able to boot up. At the end go lowyat service centre and they reset the phone.

The technician advise not to update during that time....... The miui itself is buggy and the mi device don't have proximity sensor.

That's y the phone sometimes turn on itself from off screen status because mi is using what they call virtual proximity sensor (software solution and no hardware).

Her device now after off then super long time to turn on back. If you only looking for flagship below 4k then Sammy s22, oneplus 10t, iPhone 13/14, realme gt 2 etc etc.

If u can wait and want Android I suggest you wait for new phone with 8+ gen 1 soc instead. That 1 is more power efficient and better thermal control than 8 gen 1. Out of those device I listed above, only oneplus 10t using this soc. 8 gen 1 chip by Samsung cannot pakai 1

If you don't mind 8 gen 1 then probably 1212 is your good chance to get it cheaper.

Based on https://www.google.com/amp/s/xiaomiui.net/x...eady-36210/amp/ here is yes it will be getting android 13 on miui 13

Miui 14 wise probably next year 2nd quarter or later due to mi 12 global build is not in the list here https://www.google.com/amp/s/xiaomiui.net/m...list-33363/amp/ . Surprisingly only china build are getting miui 14 first while global build only xiaomi 13 and the t series are getting it first.

Probably can or close to. Unfortunately mi 13 launch was delayed otherwise I think the price will be lower.

Ic, perhaps u can check with those who own mi 12 first whether your wife Telco supporting vowifi before buying.

For now should be enough. I am using the 12t pro with 12gb ram, here I attach the system ram usage with and without background app for your reference.

I think mi 12 should be more or less in term in system ram usage as both are on miui 13 now. If you buy the 8gb ram variant they should come with 8gb+3gb extension by default where it occupy the storage to boost ram.

In my case I off the 12gb+3gb cos I don't need it. With 8+3 I think will be enough at least for few years.

Check lazada lol. I guess can easily get it below 2.5k provided you hardworking in collecting the bonus

I found 1 in shopee https://shopee.com.my/product/31999900/1743...44-1670467959.9

After rebate 10% is 2299 but I didn't heard of this seller before. For me I prefer lazada when buying something expensive cos the return everything is much easier.

I think the offering should be below 2.5k for most of the seller. Just have to make sure the 1 u buy Malaysia official set with 2 years warranty and not china set.

Official set got better after sales service just in case anything go wrong.

Lol depend on the price. 8 gen 1 Chip that's in mi 12 really not good. Higher battery consumption, very hot when gaming and throttling issue during heavy load. That's why I get the 8+ gen 1 by tsmc instead.

If you didn't really gaming, don't mind on 8 gen 1 and wanna get an aluminum body plus wireless charging then mi 12 might be a good option

Xiaomi 13 with 8 gen 2 I suppose the price should be above 3.5k and it might be only arriving Malaysia Q1 2023. By then u have other option from OnePlus with 8 gen 2 as well

Ic. Unfortunately this seller didn't participate in lazada bonus event or else it will be cheaper.

Side story the xiaomi 13 images available online seem interesting https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_13_launch_r...-news-56802.php

I guess they will launch ceramic back, leather back and glass back version. There are even Leica brand there, probably it will cost over 4k. The blue leather back look interesting

Should be more than this. The Leica branding is expensive but again the iqoo also got bmw branding. Lol, time will tell.

Infinix I haven't heard about then till u mentioned it. Seem like their offering mainly mid to low range.

The risk for unpopular phone brand is on the update and support. No comment on this for Infinix cos I didn't have any experience with them.

So fast? Why not wait for 1212, probably can get a better deal then. Xiaomi 13 have the same size as mi 12, why not get it for your wife instead.

Lol I guess your wife like the phone because of the size, my wife is also using mi 10 and she complaining the device too big. She tried mi 12 and found the size is up to her preference.

For CN side their pro 8, 256 is 5399 rmb (3.6k myr) while non pro 8,256 (2866) is 4299rmb. Normally Malaysia set price will be higher than CN and probably come with 2 years warranty locally similar to previous flagship here.

For 8, 256 probably it will cost around 3299 for their non pro and 3999 to 4299 for pro. The highlight I think is ip68 across the range, gorilla victus, miui 14 (with much less bloatware as what they claim) and Leica lens even for non pro variant. Their blue leather seem very good according to the video demo, not sure how is the real thing though.

Seem like pro is better deal that come with ltpo, ceramic back, 120w wired & better camera and size. Non pro wise I think is suitable for those who want smaller and lighter phone (below 200g).

Anyway have to see how they position the price in Malaysia and whether they will bundle some pre order gift during launch to determine is it a good value or not.

For more info can refer to GSMArena https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_13_and_13_p...-news-56834.php. I personally find the blue and ceramic green probably will look good but how is it have to wait for demo unit to be available then only can know.

Not really, people will still go for Malaysia set. 2 years warranty (normally for xiaomi flagship) plus less hassle for 5g and better after sales service centre access.

The non pro offering look good. Just I don't like they try to copy previous fruit phone

A lot of review already out. https://youtu.be/uXExzWOQ7Ag this is the 1 with blue leather back. The colour look quite good.

Most probably is their old buds or watch, extended warranty etc etc. This is what they always do.

I think probably they will sell the 8+256 at 3299 or 3399. Nowadays 128gb is not enough. Ya probably around March next year, have to see what they offer for preorder here then only can say whether is good deal or not.

2 years warranty should be a norm already considering lately all their flagship or sub flagship are getting the extended 1 year warranty. Their advantage is got a lot of product and they can simply bundle some to make it look attractive.

Those free gift retail at 599 etc etc might cost as low as 100 for them

See what they offer this round. I find the non pro variant more interesting, compact, powerful and easy to hold

So far what I don't like is it look like ifone and only 67w for non pro variant.

Camera icon? Which 1. Are you using the always on display? Do u mean the camera icon on bottom right side? If that's what u mean then I have no ideas how to off that
