Explorer Kit on Orange X9U

Has anyone got this combo... Given the different phone thickness I'm worried whether the fit is all off on the explorer kit if used on an orange phone, or more cosmetically if there's odd places where the orange comes through and ruins the look!?

Curry's UK Delisted the X9U

It's odd as it's not that it's just out of stock - they've literally removed the product from their website!?

Tundra Cases

It's a lovely looking finish phone but I always rock a case, the official case is carbon I think and the earth explorer one includes the big camera grip thing, so ..

Anyone found clear cases or matching cases for the tundra version of the x9u anywhere?

Am I right in thinking the only place selling these separate to the phone at the moment is aliexpress at over £700?

Hi all, please be gentle as this is very much my ignorance coming through... Took a recent trip with the bf and the sigma 20-200 lens, and was 99% happy (I still struggle with exposure on the camera but am finding running it at from 0 to -2 on that setting then raising shadows a bit to offset helps) but in one type of images am confused - I have attached the worst example and one which would always be a bad photo but illustrates the point -

If I was taking a photo at or near the 200mm end of the lens and did *not* have a specific thing for it to focus on, so say it was a distant hill or a building a long way away - especially on a hazy day - it would take very dark muddy photos. The attached was at about 3pm so full day time (though also a very hazy day)

Obviously at 200mm it's letting less light in but if focusing on specific items (say statues or buildings in a park) the settings seem to compensate ok and it produces a good image.

So my question is - I'm assuming the lack of scene definition is making the bf not really know how to compensate and is one I need to manually do my own settings... There's scope there still to get more light as it chose a very fast shutter speed for this... But generally if I just increase the light it's still very muddy and unclear... Is that where I need a filter?

I guess my question is - is this a type of shot I need to manually setup with slower shutter to offset the lack of light and then a filter that makes it work better through the haze? Or am I missing some other settings I need?

Eg this was 1/5000 f6.3 and iso 400 - that's where I think 1/5000 is a very odd auto choice I can manually adjust for.

So the UK Amazon store has preorders already up - I don't currently have an Xperia but no mention of sd slot, is 19.5:9 the current display size?

Hoping they haven't dropped the camera button.

£1,728 including the headphones

I got a notification and downloaded a couple of hours ago but then it's.... Gone!? Nothing to install (it downloaded 520mb) and no updates found.

Anyone else get similar?

Hello everyone - as above really, I don't find vibrant with natural filter as good as using authentic which gives very similar colour profile as my camera gives me - however I find the vignetting is way heavier on the 17u then it was on older xiaomis - just in case I've missed something there isn't a way to adjust this / a better option than "natural" filter is there?
