Missing 80w wireless charger? Shouldn't it should be compulsory gifts given by Xiaomi? I also preordered that day & the seller told me no photography kit given because Xiaomi didn't give, on the spot I said I wanna cancel my order then finally give me.

Unsure whether the seller wanna untung sendiri or what.

Got this phone on Monday together with photography kit & 80w wireless charging stand.

Yesterday just set it up as my daily driver, before this I'm using Vivo X100 Pro.

Like the free casing comes with the box as well as the photography kit although it might sit inside my drawer to gain dust.

Few things to summarize compared Mi Xiaomi 14 Ultra (M14U) to Vivo X100 Pro (VX100P) :-

1. Ergonomically on hand feeling VX100P is better than M14U, the camera bump of M14U just too big & phone is shorter, VX100P still have more spaces to grab on hand firmly compared to M14U.

2. M14U booting is faster than VX100P.

3. The smallest width of both phones needed to be tweaked in order to serve my eyes. Having hard time to find the perfect match while I dun have this issue in Samsung OneUI or even iOS. Weird also my POCO F5 control center can switch back to old control center but M14U no option to do so.

4. Fingerprint scanner M14U position at the right place but VX100P fingerprint is faster & better in terms of regconization even when your finger is wet.

5. Battery life, VX100P is better in battery consumption at least 20-30% more saving. Charging speed both almost the same but my car can charge M14U wirelessly at 30W but VX100P only 15W.

6. Internet speed connectivity. If using Wi-Fi M14U is slighly better than VX100P but mobile data VX100P is covered with 5G at most of the places I went, UMobile.

7. Photography wise, depends on your taste, I like VX100P photos better than M14U although most of them are touched up by AI. If you want a phone with nice photos output most of the times without manual works, you won't go wrong with VX100P.

8. HyperOS is better than FunTouch. If global version of VX100P is OriginOS I think this may make the different.

This M14U is definetly for pro shooter to have a phone with great camera capabilities, manual tuning & play around & I think VX100P is better with shoot & post kind of camera phone.

Ya. Vivo X100 Pro definitely is a all-rounded camera phone & the only downside is the FunTouch OS. Else, its price & specs offering a better value than Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Unsure whether I should sell it off or else. Haha.

1. Auto increase brightness when face detected? In which mode, can be more specific on the steps?

2. For the settings preserved, limited. Example, EV, front or back camera, camera mode. Those more specific settings like aperture, zoom level & etc cannot.

1st time using camera in a phone that indicates me the phone is overheated & need to close the camera app. Today unsure why the phone overheated like hell.

Plus, battery consumption is pretty bad.

Ya. The heat is horrible for any phones that I used before, Samsung S23U, Vivo X100P, iPhone 13PM & etc.

Basically, it won't burn your hand but you can feel the heat non-stop like warm bag.

Dun get me wrong, I love this phone very much but this issue really bugging me. Once the heat is generated & the phone is sluggish & frame drops.

Moreover, this phone is picky on 3rd party charger & not even charge up probably with laptop.

Anyway, anyone got use Google Extend Lock on this device? It seems not working properly even I have setup it correctly for bluetooth & location triggers.

For all the phones I used before, display resolution & refresh rate were set to max & no issue. Although, Vivo X100 pro sometimes has this issue when brightness is max but this M14U just way more worst, even my current Poco F5 no such issue or the last Xiaomi 11 Ultra I used.

Don't get me wrong, the original power adaptor really does it job well at 90W max & fast in charging but the heat issue is really something.

No. I wish it has Samsung routine which I can do some automation like reach office auto lower volume.

Worst is Google extend lock also not working.

Unless you only care for photography else this phone definitely not suitable as daily driver.

Yup. Totally agreed. Minus the lousy FunTouch OS, VX100P always a better choice in terms of price performance ratio.

However, HyperOS for me is inconvenient of missing control center switching plus Google Extend Lock.

Less than 15mins, possible outdoor using plus hot weather. Plus the max brightness is triggered on phone although it's hardly to see compared to VX100P or Samsung S23U.

I'm starting to love the camera compared to VX100P because it's more true to my eyes. VX100P is more pleasant to eyes but sometimes it's a bit over especially night photos.

Ya. AI Potrait but not working on all objects.

If you have a CN version with preloaded Xiaomi AI then you will found it's even better than above.

For those who knows Chinese, you can install Xiaomi AI (小爱) & play aorund with it. Can help you generate articles, do automation tasks & even generate AI photos.

Yes. It does. Just interface working in Chinese language, what I meant is generate an AI photo from your phone directly, not AI photo editing.

Anyway, beta testing for Global version is coming. So just wait if you don't mind.

No. MY set but able to install this AI apps, which is better than Vivo (FunTouch OS) as an addtional add-on value.
