I found Hyper OS frustrating after coming from a Pixel phone. The fact that I couldn't separate notification tones from the ring doorbell to sms/WA was ridiculous.
The settings area is convoluted, there was no proper battery stats and the whole OS just looks dated. Lots of duplicate apps that can't be uninstalled, Dual pull down notification system etc.
Not a fan at all. Put me off ever getting their Ultra phone in the future.
No... far from it.
Everyone's use is different I guess I don't separate tones , the drop down for settlings I don't see it being much different and it's customisable , I rarely go into the main settings once I have set it all up
What I liked about Xiaomi I could buy the cn version much cheaper and just flash it , but they have slowly been increasing in price over the years and having to keep the bootloader unlocked so more faffing around to get stuff working so my next phone is looking to be the OnePlus 13 hopefully they follow the path of OnePlus 12 cn version was going for £388 at one point for that spec that's hard to beat and you can flash oxygen so it behaves like if you bought it from here

Okay, thanks. Got it in the post today. Having a mess around with it now.

Don't buy a redmi note 13 or pro. Some many faults. Poor camera, poor battery life, won't always charge to 100%. The list goes on.

Vivo X100 Ultra. Looks immense but only China only, so no Android Auto. What a shame!
