    Prices currently.

    Guess the rumours of Redmi K30S being cheaper than Redmi K30 Ultra were not true. This proves that the chipset is still expensive. This is about as close as you can get to the Poco F1. Funnily enough, the price gap between each model is very small like as if they are competing with each other...as always.

    In my opinion, Redmi K30 Ultra still reigns as the best value phone of the year. I'd prefer Redmi K30S over Redmi K30 Pro due to high refresh rate and stereo speakers. Chinese market is missing on Mi 10T Pro.

      As it has no memory card.

      Can I set recording to USB, and how little is the transfer rate compared to the full USB?

                  Considering that the Snapdragon 865 alone costs 150$, how can Xiaomi sell it for as cheap as 390$? Especially with the 144hz display and all other tech inside.

                  Also this should help shut up all those people complaining about Android flagships from 2020 being expensive.
