Redmi is going for a gaming phone,why not, I hope it is not rebrand blackshark but based on the pricing I doubt that this is blackshark. Great job xiaomi.

MasEnha, 28 Mar 2021Unrealistic price for worldwide. I'm confused, wanting... moreJust get the Note 8 pro, it'll take a while before this is global and it'll cost more for the global options, unless you really want the D1200

AnonF-964910, 28 Mar 2021Well first of all, yes companies should work towards making... moreWhy is it so hard to understand that DIFFERENT designs can CO-EXIST, imagine if all cars were SUV or Hatchback, or all games were MMORPG or Sports Games, or if there was only 2 flavor of food, two color/type of clothing, etc.
Some like the punch hole, but making only smartphones with it and trying to shrink it because it is a known annoyance rather than making other designs too is a ridiculous solution/idea.
Some even like the pill shaped punch hole, so the punch hole shouldn't disappear or only be available on tiny size, but simply have variety, including small and big.
Half of the smartphones released have a punch hole, the other half have a teardrop notch, and the rest is only a tiny fraction, look at most brands, outside the flagship there is as much teardrop notches as there are punch holes.
Just look :
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung-phones-9.php
https://www.gsmarena.com/realme-phones-118.php
It isn't my inventing it, it is a fact, most brands make as many teardrop notches as punch holes, both have invaded the market and left no other alternatives.
Some don't, some prefer having a bigger notch with useful sensors, like the iPhones since the X and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Mate 30 Pro over having a dent on the display ONLY for a camera.
Also, if the notch was properly done in the first place, it would look something like this :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXaQ6VMdqRE
By that I mean what we see the most on the video, the display around the notch should NOT be accessible by any apps/image and be only here for the status bar, with smaller icons (those around the Apple notch are much bigger than previously in the iPhone 8 and previous models) to allow displaying them on two lines to avoid giving up on many of them would have made a much better phone, where rather than a dent on the display, it would have been a bezel with status icons, and Android phones would now have no cutout that disturb the content and most would have 3D face recognition.
Polls are clear, the vast majority of tech enthusiasts, and many casuals feel the same BTW, prefer a bezel over a punch hole or a notch, and making few phones with a bezel wouldn't hurt you, nor any other punch hole lovers.
This argument is total BS, when you see how thin a bezel can become, such as the Meizu 16, or the Nubia Red Magic, and how much thinner the Sony bezel become per generation, it is insane to complain about it, and again, those who prefer a punch hole can just buy a punch hole and leave bezels at peace, I'd take a phone with the same bezel (including sensors) that the Galaxy 8/9 and Pixel 4/4XL have over ANY punch holes, at least the "disturbance" is OUTSIDE the display.
In fact many prefer thicker bezels (including the chin) as it avoid accidental touches.
BS, since the pop up exist, there are barely any cases of issues, in fact I'd bed to punch myself in the sensitive parts if there isn't more people talking about "pop up durability issues" than the actual number of cases there was an hardware related issue, including manufacturing defect.
Almost 3 years they exist, which is over the 2 years most people keep their phones, and almost the 3 years where almost everyone change their phone, and yet, no durability issues showed up, in fact, no sign of any premature wear have been caught, and AFAIK, ALL pop up, from the firsts Vivo Nex A and Nex S and even from unknown brands, including the Allview Soul X6 Xtreme, BLU Bold N1, Infinix S5 Pro, Elephone U2 and Elephone PX Pro haven't got any issues neither.
All the "wear, fragility, water, dust, drop" and other fantasies arguments are not only long debunked, but the actual opposite of the reality, and the actual reason why pop up didn't got more successful.
Because fearmongers aside, the vast majority of people who owned a phone with a pop up were fully satisfied.
And this is without even evolving it, as many alternatives to literally remove those basically non-existing issues can be done anyway.
Funny part is that a pop up cost less to make than a punch hole, and phone like the Poco F2 Pro proved that it doesn't take much space as for equivalent sized phones (including thickness) it not only have more features and a big cooling solution, but also manage to have a bigger battery capacity.
And what you call removing all those sensors :

And those :
https://images.frandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/soli_pixel_4_sensor-max-1000x1000.png
To only keep a single camera and a degenerated shrunken, costlier and less effective ambient light and proximity sensor couple then?
THIS is true reversing, plus, making few models with no front camera and actually using a real ToF or even structured light scanner on the back for 3D face recognition that would easily be done by a flip of the wrist, would be much better than the puny 2D face recognition punch hole forced upon everyone and butchering the display in the same time and a much better solution than the punch hole.
More people than you imagine would love a phone without a front camera.
Since when you need nanosecond delay in a camera?
And the same argument could be said about any wireless audio thing, yet it didn't prevent them to become so popular (though by being forced) that having no more 3.5mm Jack is almost normal nowadays.
Audio equipment who actually do, because of their use, have issues with lag/latency.
The Xiaomi 11 Pro and 11 Ultra both have one, though sadly they kept the stupid punch hole too, but there was already two phone with a big enough secondary display, the Vivo Nex Dual Screen :
https://www.gsmarena.com/vivo_nex_dual_display-9435.php
And the Nubia Z20 :
https://www.gsmarena.com/zte_nubia_z20-9780.php
So it doesn't have to be small, and if well done, it can have many pros and little cons, and it make much more sense than foldable devices that can have up to 3 displays and who are still becoming increasingly popular.
The problem of the smartphone industry is comments like yours, people getting so negative about ANY design/solution/feature that differ slightly from their personal taste, and since most are sheep they conform to the design of the majority (without any rational form of reasoning behind that for most of them), and not those tech/proposal themselves.

AnonD-909757, 28 Mar 2021It is quite easy :
Making DIFFERENT designs, this mean pun... moreWell first of all, yes companies should work towards making punch holes smaller.
But everybody here also hates teardrop notches and their generally a design you'd expect on a budget phone from 2018.
Bigger notch? I though everbody here hated those?
Bezel, I use a sony phone with a top and bottom bezel. I don't mind it but I can imagine people who want the largest screen to body ratio would hate it.
Pop up? Yeah we don't durability and longevity issues with our selfie camera, thanks!
No front camera?!? Dude we're literally reversing technological innovation at this point.
Wireless camera's aren't going to have long battery life (let alone longevity) and I can a large amount of latency from the camera to phone.
A second display on the back is likely going to be small and just weird.
All these solution are just so much more complicated and weird to use and make compared to the punch hole. The punch hole is the best compromise between user experience, screen to body ratio and ease of manufacture.

Vikass17, 28 Mar 2021Cpu is not going to run games for you.
They are using same... moreOne thing you have to see is sustained performances...
870 is an overclocked version of 865+ which is an overclocked version of 865...too much overclocked leads to throttling
After 3 rounds of Antutu, 870's GPU score falls from 262.000 to 213.000...(not full score, GPU only)
After 6 rounds of Antutu, D1000+'s GPU score is still 193.000.
(Source : Techutopia on Youtube)
With only 10% overclocked allowed by 6nm process, D1200 can be very close to 870 on sustained perfs
(+ TSMC's 6nm + AV1 hardware decoding + 5G carrier aggregation, more usefull than mmwave with most carriers + 4k HDR video recording instead of useless 8k + real dedicated NPU, or how 4.5 Tops can beat the 26Tops of Qualcomm's DSP+GPU)
Except in US and if your carrier isn't T-Mobile, D1200 is probably technically a better choice than 870

GSM Boy, 28 Mar 2021yes, Xiaomi is going to going to be a victim of their own s... moreYou sound like KODAK.
KODAK were the real founder of the Digital Camera,
but they refuse to make one because don't want the digital camera to eat their sales of old camera film.
In the end, kodak die.

Vikass17, 28 Mar 2021Cpu is not going to run games for you. They are using same... moreIt's a combination of the CPU and GPU. You will only know when I are tested for sure but you're talking like the dimensity is trash. The dimensity 1000 and 1000+ have been shown to be excellent and you're talking about it before I has even been launched. You can't know what it is capable of. Nobody does yet.

They are using same gpu in dimensity 1000, 1100 , 1200.
Even if they overclock it a little, it will only come close to SD 865 not 870.
I am almost sure it wont beat 870 in cpu either.

Anonymous, 28 Mar 2021Proofs ? Source ? For you your claimsHe can't. He hasn't a clue what he's talking about because benchmarks haven't even been released yet. However the dimensity has 3 A78 cores clocked at 2.6 GHz and the newer snapdragon 870 which is an overclocked 865+ has 4 A77 cores the primary clocked at 3.2ghz. The primary core on the dimensity is clocked at 3.0GHz so overall the dimensity should have an advantage on all but the primary core speed. Also the dimensity uses a 6nm node and the snapdragon 865 uses a 7NM mode. So given the snapdragon 865 primary core speed was 2.84ghz, there's no chance of it outperforming this dimensity 1200. The dimensity could be pushing the snapdragon 870. He's just one of these people who says what he thinks and thinks he's correct but actually has no idea what the facts are.

Hanif Fikri, 28 Mar 2021I no longer care bout mediatek dimensity...cheaper than qua... moreWhat are you on about? It's not BS. Loads of people are of the opinion they're great. They're offering competition and they're hitting high benchmarks. I used the mediatek dimensity 1000 based Iqoo Z1. It was extremely quick. Gaming on the most taxing mobile games was easy for it. I don't know what you're complaining about. You can't judge it because you haven't used it as if you had, you wouldn't be whining about it, and if you don't want to use it, just don't buy it and stop throwing your toys out of your Pram.
