Skins available for Mi Note 10 (Pro)?

Hi there,
I'm a huge fan of DBrand skins and have been using them on my last 5 phones. I do not like cases, I find allmost all of them to bulky but the smartphones these days have such a premium look that I definitely need some kind of protection. For me, a skin is a great solution.
Example:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unfortunately I do not succeed in finding anyone who is selling skins for this phone (yet).
I tried looking for the following models (since their exterior are all the same, right??):
- Xiaomi Mi Note 10
- Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro
- Xiaomi Mi 9 CC Pro
If anyone knows where to order skins, please drop a link here! Thanks in advance

Question dToF sensor aka LIDAR?

I notice the Mi 11 Ultra has a dToF sensor, i have searched some info and i'm not sure, is it the same as LIDAR from Apple iphone 12 pro?
What application work with it?
What are your opinions on it? success?
Also there's a new 3rd person view on Oculus Quest 2 that lets you use the phone and see the person and the game inside virtual reality that is currently only used in iphone 12 probably with LIDAR, do you think it will be up for this phone as well?

and this news
dToF likely to be mainstream 3D depth-sensing technology in 2021

Doing a little more research i found with 99% certainty that the Mi 11 Ultra is using "Sony's Direct Time of Flight depth sensor" launched recently in Feb 2021 and also used in Iphone 12 Pro named "LIDAR" achieving 300meter range.
dTop in mi11ultra is used for night/day shots to calculate focus., but it can be used for other applications like measure height and width with great precision, create 3D mapping environments of objects and houses and even people like Apple is doing.
Also i read Sony did a 3 year contract with this technology with future Apple iPhones and iPads for 3 years but havent read anything about exclusivity.
So i hope Xiaomi or even third party apps do something with this too and don't leave a potential unchecked. The hardware is there, it just needs to software.

Question Vivo x60 Pro+ vs x70 Pro?

I'm struggling to decide between the Vivo x60 Pro+ and x70 Pro, as they have nearly the same size, but different release periods and specs. (The X70 Pro+ is out due to its large size).
Which device would you recommend?

For me i jave the x60 pro plus. I dont like the bigger screen of the x70 but the higher resolution and the ip68 is definitely welcome. The cameras are almost the same, except the 2x sensor is different i think? And the software side of things, the x60 is still on the older one. Even though not many differences.

I think you misinterpreted my post
I'm talking about the Vivo x70 pro, not the pro plus, which has the same size and dimensions as the x60 pro Plus

This quick photo samples may help, i had a chance to take them with my X60 pro+ and a friends brand new just arrived x70 pro+

I haven´t tried video yet, but as for photos i feel like its just personal preference. The X70 Pro+ tends to have slightly cooler colors, the only real change is the 2x Lens with now obviously more pixels.
The camera setup seems to be pretty much the same, since my x60 pro+ is just a few months old ill skip the upgrade, eventually we will see the x80 series in a few months >_<;

General Multiple Phones

Any one of you beautiful S21 Ultra people have more than one phone?

My iPhone 13 Mini starlight arrived earlier today (thanks Amazon).
Im an IT guy by trade and hobby and have always gravitated towards the larger phones.
However as of recently Ive had the need to have both iPhone and Android devices (work reasons) and up until my Mini arrived, was using the Apple 12 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.
However, my usage case gravitated more towards the android for media consumption, file management, social media etc and the iPhone was more work based / apple ecosystem esq / so iMessage, copy and paste between phone and macOS, Apple Pay and Apple CarPlay (Android Auto sux big time)
However it got me thinking that as the usage of iOS was not as screen intensive as the S21 Ultra, a smaller iPhone would make more sense!
Whilst the mini is used alongside the big boy Android, the x2 together fit my work and play requirements beautifully , far mo so than caring around x2 behemoths!

S21 Ultra and Pixel 6

I also have an iPhone in my backpack, but it is my least used device by far. The Note 10 is now my daily, the LG V20 is a backup on alarm duty, and the HTC One has been relegated to security duty, but the Moto X Pure Edition is still my favorite ever (best screen + best sound ever seen and heard on a mobile device). If I didn't desire band 71 LTE, I probably would've ended up just switching back to a higher capacity Pure Edition.

I have 2 phones, the s21 ultra and iphone se.. my s21 ultra is ny daily driver, i was going to make iphone as my daily driver because of the apple watch 7 and ipad pro 2021..but i felt its not the time yet to do this move
I have the galaxy watch 4..but i felt the watch 7 is way better

I've always been a Pixel fan, had each one and have a P6P now. The Galaxy S phones always interest me too and I usually grab one. I don't have 2 at the moment but I'm seeing that S22U in my future. I think the way to fix my dilemma is to have both.

Question what's the speaker quality like?

anyone know or seen hands-on reviews talking about this?
I'm actually trying to decide between this or a xiaomi mi 12 pro. so far I've heard one comment from one of the youtube reviewers say the speaker quality is nothing special.
personally i like phones speakers that have a bit of bass..

I am eagerly awaiting this device in Europe myself after a disappointing experience with the Pixel 6 Pro.
I saw in a video somewhere can't remember where they were crisp and clear audio coming from the 10 Pro.
The audio on the Pixel 6 Pro at least in gaming was absolutely terrible, Sounded mono and quiet.

Sound coming out of phone speakers will never be crisp and clear. They're not HiFi devices; the drivers are designed to be as tiny and loud as possible without blowing up.

My 8 Pro and 9 Pro speaker sounded good enough for my usage...
Also not impressed with my Pixel 6 Pro
Waiting on OnePlus10Pro Global around March usa...

I'm also looking forward to the release of this phone. I have a pixel 6 pro on order since Jan 1 (Canada). The latest revised delivery is March 2-3. However the more I read up on the Pixel the less enthused I'm becoming.

Speaker is loud, but sounds a bit thin. My pixel 6 pro sounds better
Also, if you care about photography, pixel 6 pro is much better.

The speaker is good, but it is a phone after all so it's not fantastic. It's probably a little better than Pixel 6 Pro ( which I also have ) but not quite as deep sounding. Camera is solid, I'm actually quite impressed, I wouldn't say any significant improvement over 9 Pro, but an improvement nonetheless. It's still struggling in low light, unfortunately.
