Myths and axiom

[anticpated]

Christmas spoilers. Santa is just the CEO of IKEA and has no time to deliver presents. He will be in the med chilling on his yacht.

Also the IKEA meatballs are overrated in my opinion. How this affects your judgement of my mental wellbeing is entirely up to you.

Anyway I just moved back to SIM only for 24 months. Unlimited every plus 25gb roaming data.

I wish all you people a fantastic Christmas and new year when it comes to roost. And I did promise some photos from my Xiaomi phone.

So here is one of Mr. Squirrel 🐿️

Love the squirrel, @anticpated - and as far as axioms go:

How much does Santa have to pay to park his sleigh?
Nothing - it's on the house!

Breaking News: Elon Musk & Bill Gates joined forces to make a Viagra substitute.
They’re marketing it as ELONGATES.

Please tell us more @anticpated about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra - strengths, weaknesses etc.

It is not every day that you bump into someone that is a Xiaomi 14 Ultra user ! 👍

Strengths

Camera

Photo kit

Simplistic UI

Cons

In-app notifications (advertising)

Generally speaking, there are very positive things about it mostly. The app notifications can come across as spammy although you can disable these.

App permissions seem to be more security orientated and in some cases you may have to override these settings manually.

As for cameras, a front shooting 32mp, 4 cameras at up to 50mp tetrapixel binned (12.5mp real size). The main wide angle lens is attached to a type-1 sensor (lytia 900) with f1.6-f4 aperture and 3 imx 850 1/2.52" on every camera. Giving a consistent image quality at every zoom level.  The leica colour

profiles give you the classic bokeh effect with some AI.

Call quality is good as expected. Spam protection is built into the phone and so far not many car accident claims have got to through as yet.

Screen quality is good. Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos support which is nice. Meanjng netflix and Disney plus streams look their best 

Hidden Easter egg is the heart monitor (ECG) sensor which you find in one of the system menus. 

Themes are a bit of a mixed bunch with some free and relatively cheap paid options.   You can use your own music content as ringtones.

Overall with it 5000mAh battery and 6500mAh using the photo kit battery extension. It is pretty good value for money.

There are 4 microphones on the device meaning video content can give you stereo sound or better isolation.

Sounds really great @anticpated. Pleased there are far more strengths than cons. 😉
