I liked my xiaomi 10 but not the ads and bloatware. My xiaomi 12 is worse than the 10 and I still have ads. Won't be getting one again

Why don't you just disable the ads and bloatware then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Because you shouldn't have to do that 🤷‍♂️

Can you explain? Besides changing to an other OS I don't see how I can do this.

I actually tried messing with installing lineageos on my xiaomi 10 last week and after several hours I gave up.

Go to the apps that have ads and in it's settings turn off receive recommendations to disable them.

Other bloatware can be disabled via ADB

As for installing custom rom. You are required to wait for some time for xiaomi to approve your request before your bootloader can be unlocked.

Amazing hardware, but I was really disappointed with the way the 13 pro processed pictures. I ultimately went with a completely different brand after being really hyped for the 1" sensor. The 13 ultra came with some minor improvements, at least that was my impression, but still wouldn't have been an option for me. I'm really interested in what they're doing with this newest iteration.

I always use gcam on any android phone as I much prefer the photos I get from it.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 8 months ago

He he boiiii. GCam Ports go brrrr! My Poco F4 takes photos that compete with iPhones (my iPhone friends admitted that they preferred the GCam photos in most cases... Night sight was obviously not as good...)

GCam Ports for life 🎉🎉🎉🎉

What different brand? Does that process pictures in a more natural way?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I went with a Sony 1V. It processes the images a lot more like a regular camera, so more natural but also less 'flashy' by default. If you take a boring picture, it's going to look boring. But I just like that high-contrast, natural colors, 'real camera' look so much better than the always-on-hdr, artificial, tacky look of many modern smartphone cameras.
