Just came back from Aeon Metro Prima. Initially was planning to touch and see how the new Xiaomi Pad Mini screen looks like but only got 15T and 15T Pro on the shelf.

I'm surprised that Xiaomi has improved the build quality this much. It felt nearly like an iPhone than Android phone. The weight is so satisfying as well. I wonder why the original mi15 is so heavy in comparison.

Update:

I googled and found that mi15 pro weight ain't that much different. I wonder if it's really a 15T Pro model that was on the shelf.

Do you think 15T pro a good buy? I still on the fence to buy it or not.

China reviewer saying that the new xiaomi 17 pro & max series have even super build quality , there is a reason why xiaomi is back to the top in china.

Even my vivo x200s have a well build quality that can match to iphone 16 series , no joke and kudo to china phone manufacture these year. Their quality build already on pair with competition.

I think that the reason too why they dare to use same name as iphone 😆 because everyone copying the samsung "ultra" so that xiaomi become the first to copy the "pro max" , maybe xiaomi think that ip17 copying their xiaomi 11 ultra design so they done the same to apple 😂😂

Xiaomi phones aint that cheap nowadays as well. I wonder how much do the new Xiaomi 17 series cost. The 15T Pro still seem affordable with very good built quality. I havent used xiaomi phone for a very long time thus I cant comment on the OS. Not sure how much corner was cut in order to reach the selling price compared to the flagship Mi series.

Personally Im using a S23FE just for work and online bamking while using another Realme GT Neo 3 for gaming. For me, 1 phone for long OS update for online banking purpose, while the other gaming phone just need to have good performance + battery life at affordable cost (with fast charging), even if the built quality is sacrificed.

I think you are the 1 who doesn't get it..... Sales number? The post you shared is 雷军 personal post, no data whatsoever to showing the sales figure. Anyone can bluff how good is it. You might also find a lot of information online whereby their Xiaomi store in china are very empty and their share price in HK dropped sharply after their launch of mi 17. Again on sales data, time will tell. Who knows I might be wrong at the end and it doesn't really matter.

热搜just mean what people search mostly. Doesn't reflect is it because of good or bad impression. Like previous 红姐 also 热搜, is it mean a good thing? Their Xiaomi car also a joke, waiting list a year? That's old story, the latest news is their car was force to recall due to security issues and their second hand selling drop to the floor...... Currently their car in china are in deep shit.

Now they are mocked locally in copying others and doesn't live out their own way. Regardless 遥遥领先, people are mocking it because they so used to bluff but at the end, the result was not as good as they claimed. The world are in 3nm technology and they still stuck with 7nm yet they dare to bluff on 遥遥领先. How good they optimized 7nm, at the end it's still 7nm and no way it can be considered as 遥遥领先。If something is good, no need to bluff people also will find it is good. When someone tend to bluffing, it's mostly because the thing are not good enough or they lack of self confident.

Anyway, no point to discuss further, really pointless and wasting time. You have your opinion and I have mine. If you are interested to fact check on what I am saying then feel free to do it. I personally doesn't think it's a good marketing and they basically dig their own grave and I won't consider their mi 17 at all.

Hahaha , u are the one cant accept the fact and using the "bluff" as excuse , ok continue using your excuse as a reason , like western keep on using excuse to mocking china and show to their media how poor is and china stil living in 3rd world country and china is full of homeless on the street , at the end china are now staying top of the world with their own space station. Ya all those is bluff, china space station also is a bluff , they create a toy in studio and taking video and post only 😂😂 everything in china just a bluff , good job bro.

Just continue staying at your own world and continue become a katak.



I actually dont encourage they copy the iphone name too , BUT now with the ideal , Xiaomi just make the whole world fan boy and people busying chitchat and make their fan argue about their phone , understand what is 热搜 and become 曝光率 , this also make those youtuber suddenly increased most view once they talking about xiaomi 17 pro max which mean this advertisment reach more ppl in the world for free. please use data and fact to talk la aiyo , always using bluff and feeling as excuse , data dont lie la bro 😄 look like you this uncle stil staying on 2015 and using 2015 mindset 😂








Ok la , later u say Lei Jun buy ppl to increase the youtube view pulak , youtube view count is a bluff 😂

心动is the only word i would say seeing the Xiaomi version of 17 pro, really like what Mrwhosetheboss said, like in a candy store. But anyway, i'm wondering what's the catch there. Is it really like he claim that it's probably a marketting gimmick where Xiaomi spending more (maybe subsidizing the cost for each phone) just so, to brand it as better than Apple.


I'll see how much of a jump on 17 Ultra, my 15 Ultra haven got the time to switch yet.... overall software wise i didn't use much, i'm just using it to capture photo while travelling.

Actually i just feel that lei jun just want making viral to goreng news , once u been viral mean u success to reach alot of customer already


Basically Pure Apple fan in the china , they never ever care la what happen on the android side , they will just continue living inside their apple world , so to break this kind of thinking right , xiaomi just have to do something to catch China apple fan attention , and i think he really successful to catch their attention , everyone now keep on share on social media about xiaomi copying iphone name and design , flood the whole BILIBILI , Douyin and XHS , while xiaomi fan keep on sharing that design was actually xiaomi 11 ultra and claim is actually iphone 17 copy their design , more arguement mean reach more user to read the arguement

So sad la suddenly ppl forgot about Vivo x300 series & Oppo Find x9 series


Xiaomi copying the UI from apple , that also mean that when china apple fan wish to try the xiaomi phone , at least the UI is familiar from where they come from , and can make their learning curve not so high during changing iOS to xiaomi OS, because everything look so identical.

No matter how ppl bashing xiaomi , their sales stil on TOP , ppl might not agree what he doing , but we cant deny what he doing now is super duper crazy marketing and make everyone discussing their product now

And also we can slowly seeing that

Android copying iOS UI while.....iOS slowly adding and copy the feature from android , right?

Now android user can enjoy the iOS UI and iOS user can enjoy the feature from android.

Nothing need to be argue actually , because at the end , the winner is US as a consumer. Right?

actually why ppl say xiaomi copy iPhone 17


isn't the back of both phones more of a coincidence

it takes months to design the phone get the mould and factory to manufacture and assemble

iPhone is well known for security in their operations

xiaomi spy so good, like the Manhattan Project

All i can say is , xiaomi 11ultra using this design since 2021 , okey now xiaomi know iphone going to copy their design right, so they come into mind.

"Since apple copying our design , so why not we copying their name" that is what i heard alot in the douyin xhs bilibili tiktok comment which ...make sense.





About the security , i have to say once again , if u using both phone without tangan gatal to install 3rd party apk , u guai guai download all the official app from App Store / Play store , i can ensure that, both system is equally good and secure out of the box. Seriously men , I never heard a person using an android phone in normal way and get their phone hacked , Never



Iphone secure? The famous youtuber from taiwan with 600k sub just get hacked thru icloud data , hmmm.... I don think iOS stil secure as before. So i think stop judge which OS is more secure , because from the day u step in into INTERNET WORLD , u already have no privacy. What u can do is , learn how to protect yourself from the INTERNET WORLD , keep updating yourself & how scammer latest skill to avoid unhappy thing happen.

You sure is hardworking, so much link & text. No people saying china is 3th world country, at least it's not coming from my mouth. It's you who mentioning about it. Don't simply categorized everything as western bad mouth on china with hidden agenda. Some of the criticism is make sense.

7nm chip can bluff 遥遥领先 when it's just an outdated tech. It is just too over. Mouth said 遥遥领先 but body is honest. For eg in mi they bluff on how good is their own invented 炫戒 soc during the start of their launching event, but all the end all mi 17 using snapdragon. like what I mentioned earlier, good thing no need bluff.

Again you are misleading...... Viewing doesn't translating to sales. Like 热搜.... Last time 红姐 incident related videos also a ton of view, does it mean people like it? Most of it are curious to see how ridiculous it's...... Again time will tell whether their act of copying name and model will bring success or not. At the end of the day, I might be wrong in thinking their global sales will fail and it's doesn't really matter. It's just my personal opinion and sharing through forum like what everyone does.

Really no need to try so hard in trying to convince people to buy your ideas 😮‍💨. Everyone have their own opinion and it's totally fine

yes u are correct katak sorry ya i'm wrong , u win

All i see is healthy competition. I don't bother who scores the top. Just bring me new tech. I'm eyeing on 17 Ultra. I wanna see how much Xiaomi can put it in their photography. I'm still disappointed with current smartphone night time photography. But it's getting there!

I lost one photography kit camera button during my Vietnam trip. LOL~ probably because in and out of pocket.. don't know where it drop...

He can't even understand and get back the history why huawei stuck and can only be only using the 7nm chip set on their smartphone I guess this fella fail his sejarah in the school.




Huawei is the leader of 5G developing technology company.




They even have 100 driveless Electric Mining Truck that powered by Huawei and get shock by the western world because no one can matched their technology now , i really feel wasted my time to argue with this wolf1991 katak he got no knowledge about technology If they dont get sanction by US , they will stil be using 7nm chip on their mobile phone? Dont joke leh bro

Buy now regret later.. I also dilemma previously.. but I just bought it via mi store.. the S4 watch worth around RM400.. once Xiaomi release 17 globally, the 15T pro sure drop a lot.. so you either buy now with free gift, or wait till it drop price..

But once 17 series out, human automatically would like newer ones.. but Snapdragon series price definitely much higher than the T series mediatek prices.. so depends on your price appetite.. unker here not buying phones that cost above 3k..

I'm quite a late boomer, i just realized that Malaysia launch 15T pre-order then in China is pre-order 17..... the timing is just..... I would rather wait if my phone still working... that's just my 2 cents.
