I'm switching to the S24 Ultra just because i had it with the Xiaomi 14T Pro, no software no stability and the main problem is the network stability i've had with latency problems all the time i know for a fact that the samsung is a stable phone and a stable UI so i'm back to samsung and never again to Xiaomi in my life First phone to try was xiaomi 13t pro it was good, i thought switching to 14t pro would make a difference but it just got worst
