23 May 2021
The early bird deal makes this one of the best value-for-money 5G phones out there.

Sort by:

No I would not, there are abundant once flagships sold brand new with comparable prices from much more reputable companies.

      Next, about mediatek, I think i still stand right. I was keeping up with development of Redmi Note 8 pro, and it kinda flopped after a few days cause it being tripped & etc.
      also, recently, I was checking after market development of many mediatek Devices, at they were not good/on par with SD variants of similar devices.

        "many fishes under the sea" which is way better than this phone...
        even those released last year...
        i think this is one of their phones, trying to cover the r&d, if they do have one...
        flooding the market, and make people think that phones last year ate outdated...

Poco F1/Redmi K20 Pro is still blazing fast with custom rom on it. I don't understand people at all. Just buy Samsung or Apple for great software support. Samsung delays it a bit for midrange devices but you get proper software support.

                    Based on previous patterns, the price should be around $160 (4/64) in Indonesia, nett official price. Meanwhile, Realme will for sure more expensive by much as usual.

                    At this price point, even by disregarding the 5G feature, the competitors are not much. I'm waiting for the deep review before buying this phone for sure.

                        When you mentioned vivo especially how vivo is notorious for being a pain in the a** with kernels

                        And as usual mediatek have more and more phones with kernels out, please update this outdated perception

                        Your complaining about software and you don't wang to update your perception software mate

                          I wouldn't buy this just for 5G but rather that it offers exceptional value for money.

                                Always avoid Xiaomi. Because of ads in the system‘s apps

                                    I think for a good time these brands have stopped optimizing their Software to good degree where I have read many people complaining lots of issues with theirs new launched handsets with complete shit software which very after few months get fixes. Plus too much bloatware and cartoonish UI and ugly branding on the phone. Idk why people are flaunting such big ugly Logos. I would any day prefer some small but classy logo than this shit


                                    Launching so many devices and flooding the market, I bet the handset are wasting so much potential from their own hardware thus increasing their value. They just add pump the hardware in the devices nowadays instead of optimizing Software.

                                    I hope, we get more optimized software experience.
                                    Next, I'm not huge fan of Mediatek due to After market OS being negligent at this point. I hope Mediatek will improve on this aspect along with other Chinese manufacturers like OPPO, Vivo etc and do release their modified kernels.

                                      onesujeet, 23 May 2021Never going to buy poco phone, Android 12 beta is launched ... moreMy dad's X3 NFS is stuck on Android 10 and with February security pactch. These phones are a total waste of money and resources.
