I know the phone is stellar in every aspect but it hasn't launched in india yet and considering how fast expensive phones lose their value, it might be better to wait a few months and buy a different flagship. Especially since SD 895 is on the horizon.
What do you guys think?

What does that phone even do/have except for that stupid second screen on the back?

Non-techies are going to think that you are using an el-cheapo phone because its a Mi, and you arent really going to be that happy either, because its MiUI

Is MIUI that bad? MrWhostheboss is always raving about Mi/Poco phones.

You can flash a custom rom though.
That is because he reviews units with MIUI EU ROM and not the Indian MIUI ROM.
Both poco and mi have lost their value for money and tendency to undercut Conventional android giants. So, what you get now is a bit overpriced Mi and poco compared to the old days.

Miui consumes huge chunks of ram, so unless you are getting an mi with a powerful processor you will suffer a bit.

There aren't any custom roms available for it right now. And I read that it's hard to make one due to extremely rare camera and lack of drivers for it. Even the 10i doesn't have official LineageOS release, iirc.

That makes it a not so worth it phone. Better to get the best one can get under 25k and use the remaining 45k to get a dslr or a mirrorless camera if camera is what one wants and is the reason one goes for mi 11 ultra.

Custom ROM days are long gone. There's so much proprietary stuff going on these days that custom ROM can hardly cover all the hardware feature.

As a lineage OS user myself I was a miui hater, however over the years, it grew up on me and I never went back. What I have found is that Google copies a lot of features to vanilla Android from miui and similar ROMs.

Yeah there are many features in stock android that were introduced by custom roms like cyanogenmod. Proprietary hardware also makes it difficult to develop same features for diffent phones like gcam on many models can't use all cameras or full cameras. So one would be better off, getting a pixel(which has poor support in India) or getting some phone with strong developer community.
