| 00:00 - 00:05 | So, the CEO of Xiaomi called us over to say they're announcing |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | the Global version of our new flagship. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I was surprised since we had not implemented EIS |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | on the front camera yet and we're calling it our new flagship. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | Prices for the Mi 10 Pro start at 999. |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | For real! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | For real. |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | In china they get the 12GB + 512GB version for 763 |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | For real. |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | The rest of the world gets 8GB + 256GB for 999 for a phone with no EIS on the front camera |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | And I have too see that guy announcing this |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | in an empty room with pre-recorded sound bites of people clapping |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | Alongside a new router, |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | an air purifier and a TV. |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | Everybody thought the Mi 10 Pro |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | would start at 800. |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | For real. |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | And we promised we'd never go over a |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | 5% profit margin on mobile phones |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | The Mi 9 lauched at 600 or so and we just bumped the price by 400 on the Mi 10 Pro |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | That's iPhone 11 money |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | on a "flagship killer". |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | But now seriously, the phones are good |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | and the back camera on the Pro has impressive quality. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | But we've built a fan base around good.. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | ...value for money. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | We even plugged it as |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | being an essential work from home tool |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | because we released a phone with 5 cameras for people who are currently on lockdown. |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | For real. |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | For 999... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | ... For 999! |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | We even put 5G and WiFi6 on it which |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | won't be widespread for 2 years and we'll have 20 new phones out by then. |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | We spent years building a reputation for good value for money and then decided to nearly double the price of our flagships. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Are there options? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | There are a lot of options... |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | The Realme x50 pro for example |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | even has front camera EIS for a lot less. |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | Them and OnePlus have a lot more bang for buck now |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Isn't it targeted at Vloggers? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | It was marketed as a Vloggers phone but they decided that the front camera didn't need stabilization. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | I guess the Vloggers will have to buy a mirror to see how they look when using the back camera. |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | They didn't even release the Mi Watch |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | Can you believe it? |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | 1000 for a fucking Xiaomi. |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | I'm just gonna look for a new flagship killer. |
