    You forgot to give honorable mention for poco f2 Pro. It's a great mid range price flagship wannabe phone!

        [deleted post]Bet if one has a race between xiaomi, samsung or apple phone....xiaomi will win every time, they are the fastest and best at what they do and have improved and changed the competitiveness of phones forever.

          Hopefully they'll up their designs next year. The cameras on the mi10 ultra come down way too far so it's hard to hold the phone without your hand covering the bottom lens. Also all or virtually all their 5g phones this year were very heavy relative to other brands (the mi10 ultra being particularly heavy) . Looks like they are aiming to introduce lighter phones now though starting with the mi11

            Android Authority, 27 Dec 2020You are nothing but a Keybo^rd Jo¢key. I got the MI 10 ult... moreThey meant officially.
            Also the Ultra as sold in China is pretty useless on my network in the UK as it doesn't have some of the bands.
            Xiaomi's release system stinks, hundreds of overlapping phones released on an almost daily basis with the best ones only released in a scattergun way.

              Xiaomi are a loser overall because if their bizarre release system that sees France and Germany get the Mi10 Pro while the UK and many other European countries only get the vanilla model at stupid prices.
              The 10T range all come with terrible novelty cameras and are available everywhere - explain that.

                Ever heard of Redmi K30 Pro? It's basically the succesor of Redmi K20 Pro. Poco F2 Pro is a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro variant.

                  Alex 94, 28 Dec 2020This is note site for u. Where I promote Realme everywhere?... moreI think you are a phoney trying to sound smart. Always saying how much credentials you have but keep giving wrong facts about phones. This is not a site owned by you, so I am free to voice out my criticism to you acting like 'you know all' by giving bad advices. When people don't agree with you, you reply with insults. That is the signs of a narcissist, Alex.

Without a doubt this is the best money spent out of all phones I bought throughout the years. It is too bad that Xiaomi discontinued it so quickly to make space for their new and less appealing models.

                        poco f2 pro is the true sucessor of Mi 9T pro/k20 pro.

                        xiaomi forgot why mi9t pro was popular, the glorious oled fullscreen and cool popup cam.

                        the punchholes are ugly af and the 144hz screens are overrated and unecessary in a smartphone.

                        however i admit the adaptive refresh rate is a good thing in high refresh phones, high Refresh is still irrelevant in phone thou.

                            Anonymous, 28 Dec 2020Says the guy who never used anything beyond a 50$ smartphone Absolutely nothing wrong with a 50usd phone. At least the savvy have 450usd to spend on something more worthwhile.

                              Ha, notice all the sad sacks quoting the contents they read on the newest bling and flashy phone when in reality most do not even use all the features quoted and available. A 50usd phone will do everything that a 400 usd phone will do for what most phone owners are using them for....photos, browsing and phone calls.

                              Notice how phones do not specify the call and ring quality which is missing from most of the news and reviews and many phones have bad call quality and low ringing sound.

                                Lucas Miller, 27 Dec 2020What about Realme 6S? I think it's able to beat Poco M... moreHowever it didnt launch in many countries, had a bad naming scheme and overall had certain issues such bas heating. Like i haven't heard anyone talk about it much especially due to the realme 6. Keep in mind the pricing as well as the m3 has a lower price and is made to attract a different set of users.

                                    Uday ., 28 Dec 2020We should see more of the foldable phones rather than these... moreBut foldables are even more highly priced premium phones. Get ready to part with more of your hard-earned cash.
