Are the pics that good?

Neither Apple nor Samsung are capable of delivering this level of quality, they are just outsiders in terms of cameraphone features.

Honestly this level of snobbery is reserved for D/SLR cameras

If you don't like the Xiaomi experience, don't buy a Xiaomi phone. Xiaomi ships an intentional set of features and apps that deliver what they believe is a best-in-class smartphone experience.

If you bought the device, then you have the right to do what you want with the device (modify, tweak, repair).

I have the same phone. And I also use it just as a camera - it truly is that good! Gotta try it yourself to believe it maybe.

I skimmed the docs for this but couldn't find an answer: Is there something that says what each of those services is actually for and what the trade-offs are for disabling them? Clearly not all of them are strictly bloatware. (Some people probably need com.android.bluetoothmidiservice.)

Yes, you can use Canta[1]. When you select an app, it also provides you with some info (sometimes a bit vague) about what the app does. I used it to debloat my Oppo X9 Pro.

I had many Xiaomi phones roughly from 2014 to 2024 and all were chock full of software bugs, going worse in more recent phones up to the point I couldn't take it anymore and bought a Samsung. I will never go back to Chinese crapware. The hardware is useless without stable software and what they have is a sad impression of such. Couldn't care less if Xiaomi puts a trillion zillion gigs of RAM and CPUs and cameras and…

I was afraid of this but switched from Samsung to an Oppo Find X9 Ultra anyway as the new Samsung S26 Ultra feels stuck in the past. I was pleasantly surprised with ColorOS. The only thing Samsung has going for it is OneUI. OneUI is better, but not by a lot.

Oppo is also superior as cameraphone comparing to Samsung

It says they're freezing at Android 16 because Android 17 has more tracking and that kind of stuff, but then they go on to recommend Nova Launcher which sold out and has ads and who knows what else?

Nova version 8.1 no ads at all, way better than native junk

They should probably explain that, though, since right now they've simply got a link to the website that's hawking the current version.
