I have used the Xiaomi 15 Ultra for the past 100 hours.
After comparing its camera performance with the vivo X200 Pro, here's what I think about their camera performance. 📸
Reasons to get the Xiaomi 15 Ultra:
✅ If you want your photos to look very artistic
✅ If you prefer that distinctive "Leica style" (easily identifiable as a photo captured by a Xiaomi x Leica phone).
✅ It is an awesome cameraphone if you love to play around with the options and settings, including manual tuning.
✅ It has faster shutter lag with better shot-to-shot ability (not to be confused with shutter speed).
✅ Xiaomi's style has more "depth" because of its tendency to not boost shadows
Reasons to get the vivo X200 Pro:
✅ If you want to capture excellent photos in any condition without manual tuning, just point and shoot.
✅ It has better overall video performance, more consistent with better video stabilization.
✅ It captures better photos of moving subjects (motion capture).
✅ The X200 Pro has much better consistency when switching between lenses.
✅ It has incredible highlight control and exposure handling.

He asked them to run a screen( which I mention in my newsletter post ) and it yielded 7 companies .

The Kobeissi Letter
Americans have rarely been so pessimistic about the future:
US consumers' expectations about their financial situation over the next 5 years is down to an 11-year low.
Financial outlook has deteriorated over the last year as inflation remains a major issue among households.
In fact, ~40% of respondents in the University of Michigan's survey blamed high prices for eroding their living standards.
Moreover, 84% of them expect inflation to OUTPACE their wage growth.
Consumers are exhausted from inflation.

The Kobeissi Letter
US interest payments are set to rise even higher:
US interest expense on national debt hit a record $1.2 trillion over the last 12 months.
To put this into perspective, defense spending was $900 billion during the same period.
If rates remain FLAT, interest payments are set to hit $1.5 trillion by the end of the year, doubling in just 4 years.
Even if the Fed cuts rates by 100 basis points, interest costs will still hit ~$1.3 trillion in 2025.
This all assumes the economy will avoid a recession or any material economic slowdown.
This is a crisis.

Translation: Market was balls deep long Bessent, but it was a Scamath SPAC 😱
Politico:
Bessent’s muted reassurances to financial markets shows there may be no one in the administration willing to stand in the way of Trump’s emboldened mandate for reshaping U.S. economic policy. Stock market convulsions, along with the advice of conventional economic policymakers like Trump’s first Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, helped temper the president’s protectionist and potentially calamitous priorities during his previous stint in the White House.
Now, “whatever the guard rails that were in place the first administration no longer exist,” said one former Trump administration official, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly.
Wall Street’s initial favorable reaction to Bessent, a George Soros protégé who had little track record in Republican politics before joining Trump’s circle, may have misread his fervor for the president’s agenda.
