Weekly poll results: Realme 11 Pro+ has potential, the 11 Pro doesn't deserve its name

17 June 2023
People have expectations of a "pro" phone and the Realme 11 Pro does not live up to them. The Pro+ fixes enough issues to make it competitive.

Anonymous, 17 Jun 2023Realme is collecting user data without consent. So literally every single company out there then?

Samsung and apple are constantly breaking privacy data laws and getting away with it lol, look at their security chips. The past 3 years they have been caught having tonnes of vulnerabilities for users with easy backdoor attack/live data leaking using any web browser etc. Just like with labour laws aswell with people in asia and and the mistreatment from samsung who are currently still being investigated for (been happening for years on apples end).

Just because GSM keep the negative news from you about their favourite companies doesnt mean they arent all at it and this is just the mobile phone industry lol.

    I Just Read , 19 Jun 2023Trying to keep this on point. Imo Realme has used Associa... moreThe A54 won't be a bad seller, the regular people will go in a store looking for a phone around the 4 to 500$ mark (which is a popular price point), and the A54 will be the first phone that they'll see
    They will see that it's a Samsung and they'll see the resemblance to the premium S23 series, and that will easily convince them to buy it
    The tech literate person won't even consider the A54 for this price knowing the drawbacks of it's processor
    Sure, the people buying it won't really be noticing the inferior speed of it, but that doesn't mean that we should recommend it just because it's "good enough"
    Everyone should be getting the best value phone for their money, or at least everyone should know about what the competition has to offer, and not to stick to the most established brands

      AnonD-1101735, 18 Jun 2023Alright then, how is it better ? You probably bought one 🫣Trying to keep this on point.
      Imo Realme has used Association by appropriation aka 'copy' mimic look alike etc
      You see most when shopping shampoos look like Head and shoulders, or the three stripe

      The second thing is knowledge Those that can read (Gsmarena) those that won't pre order.

      We here and we check out specs, the worst place is discovering after you buy is your phone doesn't have a feature you really need

      You will only get the good hype buying a phone you need

      Let's not use our own words let's use comparison https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12246&idPhone2=12261&idPhone3=12070

      The A54 is a tweeted A34, it really doesn't deserve the massive increase in price for the few extra features it delivers.

      Whether by design no or deliberate / intentional there was no conscious thought to mislead by calling a phone Pro or Pro +

      So whilst I am on it another example is Fold as in Galaxy, and Fold as in Google is the same example

      My long held view is on naming. How can an item that lasts for 18 at best be called a watch? It has to go for more than 24 hours measured a complete day.
      Yeah if you charge it before it goes dead.

      Finally, nobody knows how these phones will sell, The A54 is popular but this range could overtake it.
      ALL A Range Samsung phones that support memory cards these can be up to ITb, it could cost less to increase memory that way

      Choices are made here we can factor in full specs and not rely on slick marketing alone.

      Unless you phone lacks a feature, the main mistake made is how much you overpay

              The Android Freak, 18 Jun 2023Avoid and buy Moto Edge 40 or wait for Pixel 7A to drop to ... moreEdge 40 can't compete with this camera. Every phone has a drawback these days. Even the much loved Poco F5.

                Since when a curved display is a pro feature. Apart its being slippery and easy to break and very costly to repair compared to flat screens it gives no pro experience.
                Same goes for dust and water resistance. As long as no phone manufacturer gives dust and water resistance warranty its included in phone it could be pro feature.
                Since this aint present this feature is also useless. Any water and dust proof case does lot more job and cheaper. By the way most phones can easily withstand few rain drops.
                Something like pro feature is nothing but a mystery like many else which are not needed but people beg for it anyway like its an end of the world.
                Jack and SD slot arent pro feature either in past when phones had 16 or 32GB disk space SD card were usefull in present when most phones comes with 128GB or more SD slot is useless to have because most people are unable to fill phone disk space. At least those who use it for most basic things. Anyway no phone can run any app from a SD card so yes its an useless feature good only for photos and videos maybe some documents etc. Something which can be covered by phone memory so SD slot not needed.
                Since wireless era came here and cable earphones or earplugs are not needed anyway less holes means less space for phones to catch dust and water, liqid or moisture.
                So its another useless feature.
                There is nothing like pro feature there never was. Only exquisite materials make phone feeling better and luxurious like made from titanium with leather back and shapphire made screen but thats also not a pro feature its just make the phone exquisite but not pro.
                If something is costly it does not means its better than others cheaper things.
                Same goes othervise if something its cheap it does not means its worse.

                Old 3310 Nokia wasnt also pro and many survives up to today and still working and it was cheap phone on the market.
                Just my five cents to be honest.

                  Pro without ultrawide camera is basically not 'Pro', of course the 11 Pro won't do well.

                                11 Pro+ is not bad, This is a good buy than the iPhone 11 which is trending and sought after in India.

                                      GSMArena hit it on the mark on this heading ' 11Pro doesn't deserve its name' You have to be mesmorize by something or someone to even consider buying this 11Pro. The 11Pro+ may able to grab market share of the mid-range IF Realme offers 25% off. IF NOT, then FORGET ABOUT THIS 'mofu' and move on.

                                        realme seems to have lost it's identity same like OnePlus, unreasonable price for midrangers & flagship realme mostly exclusive in China only
