          And because it is very hard to have the sd version I think mi 10 ultra tough it is also very difficult to have or Oneplus 8 pro

I always use Chinese phones because they usually offer the best value. I'm talking about reviews on Chinese websites, not Chinese phones. My last two phones are Chinese brands and there is a 10-15% difference in LTE signal strength between the two for example. Wifi strength is also significantly different

                      They have as many negative reviews as any other regular phone.

                      But you won't accept that coz you are one of those "Chinese = Bad" guys.

                                  Oneplus 8 pro is one of the best phone in this year.

                                    I can see that most of the comments have OnePlus 8 Pro in their best 5 list so it seems to be a rigid smartphone. OnePlus has been making the best phones of the phones since earlier.

                                      Consumer is a different thing. Just by reading review, comparison on youtube, budget & needs, sometimes brand preferences. Its just one or two devices on a long period of time.

                                        Andreidinutu, 26 Dec 2020The ROG phone is goodYes surely one of the best but I just picked 5 so I left out ROG
