Rambo, 27 Dec 2020The mi 10T lite beats them all for value for money & ov... moreWhere i live mi 10 is lot cheaper than mi10t pro or even mi 10. Which is an incredible phone camera, speaks, battery, display for the price

    Fjb, 27 Dec 2020So, Poco X2 😤😠 out of the chat.What did you expect? It's older model that has been overpowered with X3 and it isn't as available

      jNO, 27 Dec 2020Even if GsmArena was given the task to name how many redmi ... moreSony does worse

        o.0, 27 Dec 2020You forgot another loser: BlackShark3/3 Pro Arguably the w... moreI know there was some hype for it but I forgot it exists. With gaming phones I think of RedMagic 5G or Asus Rog Phone 3

          What about Realme 6S? I think it's able to beat Poco M3. It has MediaTek Helio G90T instead of SD662 in Poco M3. Poco M3 gets 171k in Antutu and Realme 6S gets 290k! It also has 90Hz screen which is very interesting at the price. It does have smaller battery though but that is compensated with 30W fast charging. Camera could be about the same but I didn't find camera samples on the web. That model is now over 7 months old so maybe it could be problem if you want to buy it. What about price? You can get it from 130€! That's even cheaper than Poco M3. Oh, it does have ultrawide camera unlike Poco M3. I just wonder if there is some catch. It's basically copy-paste of Realme 6 without NFC and worse camera.

              You forgot another loser: BlackShark3/3 Pro
              Arguably the worst gaming phones of the year.
              No innovation whatsoever, just the same cr@p that they released in previous years.

                Andreidinutu, 27 Dec 2020And where would all of these internals fit mister genius?Iphone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are equal. Just different sizes and batteries.
                Xperia 1 and 5 are equal, just different screens and batteries.
                S20 and S20+ are equal, just ToF and different sizes(body and battery).
                Iphone 12 and 12 Mini are equal, just different sizes.

                Components do not take 100% of inner space. That is how you make equal phones of different sizes.
                I am not asking Apple to put triple cam + ToF inside Mini, because there is no space for that. But there is no need to cap the phone either.

                Mi9 has 52mm cam, mi10 does not.
                Mi 10 Pro has 1/2.8" ultra wide , Mi10 has 1/3".

                Same applies to OnePlus.

                      Where is the Poco F2 Pro?

                        Android Authority, 27 Dec 2020Xiaomi has been a pure winner this year. The MI 10 being... moreTrue man. Mi 10 is a brilliant device and recognising price drops.

                          Shanti Dope, 27 Dec 2020In a lot of areas, the X3 NFC really beats the Realme 7 for... moreYes, and in reality realme 7 is better performer. Why? Xiaomi and their software which is not optimized for budget devices. On realme there's no bugs, phone with weaker battery and 12nm last longer, better ram management, better camera, especially in video recording, and everything that cause of ui. That is my experience when I tested it.

                            Andreidinutu, 27 Dec 2020The realme 7 is nowhere near 180 dollars so stop misinformi... moreIn my country is 180€, 6/64gb. On their official Europe site is 179€ 4/64gb. Everyone can check. U can to, cause u are blind or just stupid.ed.

                              Xiaomi is a loser for me this year. Loved my mi9se, and there is no equivalent for now, or even a low-end option, or any option.

                                  Even if GsmArena was given the task to name how many redmi note 9 variants were released this year, they would still struggle to name them all.

                                    How can a naming strategy be a loser? Ain't they still names for the Note 9X 10T Pro Max Auto 5G models? 😅😅😅
