    Shanti Dope, 08 Jul 2018Regardless, the Helio P60 is just a tad below the SD660, wh... moreP60 is equivalent to 636, not 660. The multi core scores might match 660 but otherwise it's strictly midrange. The GPU too isn't anywhere close to 660. 820/821 is still in a league of it's own compared to these 3 especially in GPU terms.
    And u r right it's possible to put a 710 for $350 if a company like Xiaomi or Asus plans to do it. But the possibility of 710 coming under $300 is next to non existent at least until 2019.

      It was possibly their gaming ROG phone that made the $500 SD845 flagship Zenfone 5Z to be true, not that unwanted OP6 which I doubt 15% of the people in the world knows.
      Obviously they would have to go to a more competitive pricing in order to sell, but if we want to imply your statement to be true, then the Zenfone 5Z should've costed about $250 to $300 only in order for it to find absolutely no competition.

        Alright it's $150, but the main point still remains, because I could barely name any new 2018 phones with a performance of SD820 in just that price. The best I could find is a SD625 from Xiaomi.

        SD710 is possible for $350. Asus just did it with the 5Z and its SD845 for $500.

          Luxor, 07 Jul 2018Asus can. Zenfone 5Z with SD845 at $436. SD710 around $300? Sure!Asus had no choice but to go for such agressive pricing. It had to undercut OP6 or else no one wld buy it. Xiaomi r perhaps the best hope for a sub $300 SD 710 phone but then again Mi8 SE is priced over $300 and Mi A2 comes with SD 660 for around that price.

            Shanti Dope, 07 Jul 2018Like the same brand offered a MediaTek Helio P60 for $100??Mediatek sells their chips much cheaper than Qualcomm. P60 is more of a rival to 636 than 710. Also Oppo Real Me 1 u r referring to is sold for $150 for the base 3GB/32GB variant and not $100.

Can be disabled fortunately.). Use a third party keyboard such as Gboard instead for Color OS.
