* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: As usual, Xiaomi T series are not-quite flagships. This one shines at raw power and endurance, has two excellent cameras for day and night photography (the main and periscope telephoto) and comes in a lovely build (tho big) package. It is too bad that Xiaomi refuses to upgrade the 12MP ultrawide and 32MP selfie or at least give them auto focus but otherwise this is a very good phone if you can get it at a good price.
PROs
flagship build glass sandwich with aluminum frame, very fast Dimensity 9500 with UFS 4.1 performance, excellent >42hr endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 100W (50W wireless) charging, 450ppi AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and high PWM dimming rate, IP68 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 115mm periscope telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + good 12MP 15mm ultrawide setup, up to 5 years of stabile and feature rich OS updates
CONs
sub-1100nits screen brightness, no AF on ultrawide or selfie, average selfie performance, average video recording, slow USBC 2.0 with OTG but no Video Out, expensive at lounch
