Online pre-orders and orders freebies same as offline retailers...

Last year at least got TV to cushion the pricing, this year feel like pricing not worth it with freebies... (or maybe MYR exchange rate not good so freebies become worse)

Is Xiaomi strategy to slowly move on to high end.

Price cautious people will go for Poco, mi will really only aim for the best hardware they can delivery.

Missed the boat
Guess the leftover stock finished.
Will other retail sellers follow with price drop as well later?

Samseng s24U or xiaomi 14 ultra? Lol

Both are Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, with more than enough camera hardware prowess.

It's a matter of user's software preference between OneUI vs HyperOS

Of course s24u. Lol, with xiaomi 14 ultra price, it doesn't make sense to go for it at all.

S24u is better in every aspect except charging speed. Hardware wise is faster over clocked version 8 gen 3, software wis3 better video & photo post processing, better update speed with ease of use Samsung pay.

It's basically an easy choice unless if you very like xiaomi or very hate Sammy.

Biggest issue for me is the Xiaomi hyper os bugs

A lot of ppl seem to say hyperos is not much difference from miui less bloat but bug still there

I have never used HyperOS before. What are HyperOS bugs that really bother you if you don't mind sharing

I am using hyper is on mi 13T pro.

I don't see one bug so far after one month of usage. The interface is much more smoother and the animation is more aligned to our touch.

Why so many people discourage me on this phone? Actually my past experience with MIUI is not good. Lots of ads. But maybe one month is too short. After a few updates, the real bugs will appear.

The black sold out so fast
Normally Xiaomi will restock?

Correct it's after major os update the bug start coming

The number of times weird bug really cause me untold amount of stress

I use m1 ii ultra the camera is good but the software bug I cannot tahan

End up back to Samseng where the camera is not as good as the Xiaomi 14 ultra but i can't go through Xiaomi buggy os anymore.

Unless 1 condition

U buy the Xiaomi 14 ultra just for the camera

Thats it any bug u just ignore and use other phone for the rest...then if u dun mind these condition then can go ahead

From what I've seen the 14 ultra camera is good better than s24 u

Quite nice to hold..

I skip then. I am using Realme now. Last time fluid and fast. Now laggy. Lousy experience.

i used s23, iphone 13 promax, after major os update there are always bugs. mi is the same,

but frankly hyper os is really much more stable compare to miui. can give it a try given the price different between s24vsmi14 / s24u vs mi14u

s24 is 8gb, exynos, and price at RM4099 vs mi14 12GB, 8gen3 price at RM3499..

S24u. Better screen, better security, got Samsung pay, better future os support .

How about if get MI 14 china set. Fastech selling 16/512 black/green 3099 Saja. But only 1 year warranty and no freebies.

Advise against getting China set, there will be issues of software support due serial number detection and incompatible 5G bands causes network issues in Malaysia. But if you're looking for a secondary niche camera phone, then Xiaomi 14 China set could be a good buy.

Personally would recommend skipping Xiaomi 14. And even getting last year's used Xiaomi 13 or brand new Xiaomi 13T as a tester for the Xiaomi brand and HyperOS is probably more worth it than Xiaomi 14 this year...

(sorry Xiaomi your pricing and freebies this year is kinda whack until a user since Redmi Note 4 days can't believe your pricing)

Edit: To add, the Xiaomi 13, 13 Pro, 13 Ultra, 13T and 13T Pro have all received the HyperOS update in Malaysia
