I actually see nothing wrong with using plastic, after all, it's less than a dollar a day if it last "only" one year (which I believe it can last longer than that, having used two Redmi Note devices for the last 4 years)

It has top of the line Snapdragon. It has flagship levels of RAM. It has a good sized battery.
The rest they've cheaped out on. And that is why it is $300. And that is why it isn't a flagship.

I didnt read the full article and i have it only trough my phones MIUI forums app. I have not added that site on my desktop pc as i am too lazy for that :D
And this phone dont come with MIUI as they said. As this is like a new brand that just uses Xiaomi resources so they have there own UI

I have used official Global ROM and now xiaomi.eu ROM for more than 2 years and it has Zero ads. Nonetheless if you had the courage to use Chinese version outside China without switching to global or eu rom is your own problem. But don't talk BS just because you saw a video of a someone complaining in u tube.

We are here talking about the price and how cheap this phone is.

Try to visit the Xiaomi showroom in Hong Kong. They are more interesting than Apple store.

Wrong gsmarena. Its only got the sd845 from the flagships... flagship, in true sense of the term, mean topmost in every respect... this thing is not top on rear cam... display, various kinds of video rec., water proofing, build, both cams in low light nit upto flagship leve.
Its great great phone for its price. But not really flagship. Even oneplus has to cut few corners for its price...
I suppose 150$ above the oneplus price would be ideal flagship price. Anything above that is expensive...
The fruit company is not atall a consideration while we're on such topic. That is a different world all together... total foools buy apple

The Poco phone is definitely worth buying, those specs at $300 price tag is unbeatable. Plus you get a large battery, very good camera and the latest SD 845. Will probably upgrade if the price remains the same.
