main reason is a RAW takes up too much space on a card. I rarely shoot raw because printing up to A4 you just don't need that extra detail because the human eye just can't see the difference.

@@ericnoack1324its not the detail, raws capture much more color and shadow and highlights information

This and the X6 Pro are my top 2 for the year right now

​​@@TKBay which one would you take 1st overall? I'm in the USA on t mobile and not sure if I want to wait for the Xiaomi 13 ultra global or the Oppo Find X6 Pro even though it has a Chinese rom. Do you have connectivity issues on your Oppo? And I would imagine the Xiaomi international will have better connectivity then both the one you have now and the Oppo. Or a complete wildcard the Huawei P60 Pro ranked number one on DxO.

Absolutely that's the best part having an option to pick what you need and what works for you is always nice

Hey, how are you dealing with the missing band 20? In Germany it's a death sentence.

Hey how did you do it for such cheap price?

We’re you charged customs tax.?

​​@Actually no problems in Germany or Belgium coast. Most of the Time LTE+. Chinese Modell with EU Rom Flash. Use Vodafone and O2

Hi where can I buy the global version? Any specific website?

​@@malatonin friend, there are no global version yet for this phone

​@@malatoninAliExpress

true!

I love it, and yea you saw Roshi we have Goku and krilling as well

@@TKBay a good DBZ reference and artwork will never not be great 👍🏿 👌🏿

Personally, 1. Xiaomi 13 Ultra 2. Oppo Find X6 Pro 3. Huawei P60 Pro. The Global version is our already and it's easily obtainable. You do get Google services on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra from the get go, and the camera versatility on that device is quite impressive. Oppo is a close second, and honestly it would be first because the latest June Update patched the front facing camera to do 4K finally, so it's a win in that book. The problem is the ROM is Chinese and even though you can side load Google Play services you might miss out on a few features. It does support 5G like the 13 Ultra though. Huawei is another great phone, but again, it's hard to get a global version and there's no Google services, which many people need on Android. The cameras are impressive personally with the variable aperture option. If that wasn't an issue I'd say a good substitute would be the Honor Magic 5 Pro which you can get globally. Image processing is all going to be subjective, and I do not take DXOMark seriously with their scoring system. That being said it's in the eye of the beholder who takes the shots that determine what makes a shot great.

If you post pics or videos online get this iphone

I would wait and see what Apple does with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and than go from there.

So honestly you already have an amazing camera system with a great sensor. What I would probably say to you is the 13 Ultra is more of a manual mode version of what you have with more options to control light aperture as well as depth of field in your images. Sony is going to give you an all around better solution to higher sensor images and the ability of content creation and editing on the vice. The color science that we get now with Sony is better they're introducing post processing and the new main sensor on the back. But all three devices have a very different approach to photography and if you like the x90 Pro Plus then I think the 13 Ultra would be a better solution for you. Hope this helps

@@TKBay thanks for the most relibale answer that is hard to get ealse where! I am a Sony a7riii shooter, thats why the Expeia was interisting as it share lots of my camera menu, theme and features. It could assist as a monitor also, however I was hoping that they come up with imx989 1 inch for all there lenses on experia. Yes it would be expensive but photographers will defenatly buy it. I wish they also implemeng same 1.4 lense that the p60 pro from Hwaui have. Thanks again for your answer and seems that I will wait till next experia having the vivo for the current time. Keep it up with those nice reviews.. you are amazing.

You can get Global Rom anywhere I chose Ali express and at $1340AU that's cheap and I just noticed it has dropped to $1240AU.

Yes it does.

@@TKBay thanks sir

Fun metaphor lol

yea me too :)

they seem to be experimenting with the Ultra line, the 11 to 12s to the 13 ultra we see the shift in design and Leica is pushing them into the a great camera system and better color science,

yes regularly getting updates on my model

the usual delay yes, on the china Rom. I hope the EU Rom will be better

@@TKBay global set not have much delays. But the global ROMs kind of bored haha

Yea and don't get the latest updates as fast

For notifications you have to go into battery settings and allow the apps you want notifications from to run in the background. I have a Vivo X70 pro+ Chinese edition no issues w notifications or google

No word on the global launch date but because we have European global ROM availability already on the forums we should be pretty close for the launch

@@TKBay I only want buy global ROM just because of the eSim. If not I already get china rom

The global edition of the 13 Pro didn't have an e-sim so I'm not sure if the Ultra will.

@@TKBay there is Esim on global version on Xiaomi 13 pro

Yes you're right they do support eSims on the global edition. As soon as I have more information on the global launch I will share it on my socials.
