Besides, Dimensity support hardware-optimized AV1 codec which sd865 doesn't! This feature alone makes me want to buy it because it's future-proofed when youtube and other video apps start using it.

If you don't see why Redmi is selling on significantly lower price margins and sells on specific market (developing countries) then it just means that the Redmi as a sub brand is doing the right thing.

          Anonymous, 21 Jan 2020Since when this phone is flagship? It is a midrange with ... moreMan every phone with 8xx CPU is a flagship.
          How this phone can be midranger with best CPU available???
          Not possible.
          Flagship phones are determined by CPU not by number of features.
          If i put onto Samsung Note 10 plus SD435 CPU it will be also flagship by your comparison??? Because no phone have more features. Or ROG 2 phone.

            Oled is costly and leaves bruns on screen when set to max brightness for too long.

I used a tablet with OLED for 3 years, no signs of burn in issues. Only a little bit yellowish, but besides that, the screen is still in perfect condition. But I do have to say I use all my devices at very low brightness, that is the reason using OLED for years not a problem for me.

                Sadly Realme devices aren't available in the Netherlands. We just got Xiaomi, and we didn't even have Google pixels. Realme is one of the only brands to have flagships with headphone jacks

                    DroidBoye, 22 Jan 2020Based on your logic, Redmi shouldn't have became a sub bran... moreWhy? Subbrand should be cheaper and has less spec than the main brand. For example, Realme is cheaper and the spec is below Oppo.

                    If Redmi 30 Pro has top notch spec (same spec as Mi flagship) but the price is below Mi flagship series then who will buy the Mi flagship series? Buyer will choose the cheaper one.

                      This is my dream device, top SOC, 120HZ IPS LCD for extended use without burn in, great cameras, especially with the souped up Spectra ISP, good RAM and storage options. Now if MIUI doesn't crap it's pants and the hardware works well together, I know what I'm buying.

                      The dual hole cameras are dropping the ball but for someone who uses the black notification bar with white icons notch option, it doesn't really matter.

                                  I know it's quite difficult to search for reviews and other technical data, which can be found for instance on Anandtech which publishes not only artificial benchmarks but industry recognized SPEC benchmarks as well but I'm too lazy to look for all these reviews now so I'll just give you this link: https://browser.geekbench.com/android-benchmarks

                                  SD845: ~ 500 GB5 points
                                  SD855: ~ 750 GB5 points
                                  SD865: ~ 930 GB5 points (not yet published, makes it almost TWICE as fast as SD845)

                                  Also, SD855 is several times faster than SD845 in AI tasks and SD865 again beats SD855 in this metric.

                                  I wonder why I even bother to reply to your exceptionally bright comment.

                                      There was 50% between SD 845 to 855, quite huge.
                                      But just 20-25% between SD 835 to 845 and 855 to 865.
                                      Meanwhile, Apple got 15-20% performance improvements when comparing the iPhone 7, X, XS Max and 11 Pro Max, but nobody cares because they're already ahead.
