My mum's hometown has a poor internet connection (I'd personally rate 2 out of 5), so having a microSD card in my phone when travelling is for sure super helpful. In fact, the microSD card has been so reliable that I have completely stopped using cloud storage altogether. The only time I would ever use cloud storage is to keep my work documents, but that's like only once every three months.

    Yeah right, tell that to people who don't use them because it has to rely on an internet connection all the time and not all places have proper internet connection in the first place. Remember the day when Google servers went down and affected pretty much all their products and services, including the Drive? That is pretty much a wake-up call, really. Don't speak for others thinking you know everything, pretty much everyone is still not incompetent or stupid enough to fall into corporation cashgrab.

      YUKI93, 16 Sep 2021Lol, the headphone jack and microSD card are not necessary?... moreI am speaking for myself and my friends. None of us uses any additional sc cards. Seriously dude, are you stuck in 201*? We all have cloud storage now. And it's free to use it almost for everything. Unless you record 8k video for god knows why, you don't need additional storage space. At all. Go ahead and try to prove me wrong.
      As for wired headphones, I was against replacing it with something that takes more space, need frequent recharging etc... But after I wasted money on 4+ wired headphones in a year, I bought a very cheap replica of wireless headphones and I'm happy. My phone is already 3+ old so I'm always carrying a powerbank to charge the phone and headphones. In my case it's ++.
      So yes, I stand by what I said: what you wrote is stupid and it's only your opinion. I really don't care where on youtube you get your info, but GSMarena has its own polls. I can see that you never follow them.

        This phone is a joke. Light and thin but what about the elephant in the room? Nearly 76 mm wide. Width is the main aspect that makes a phone "compact" not weight or thickness.

            90hz display. Lol. Even Redmi Note 10 Pro has 120hz display. Battery is small and ip53 rating when competiton is offering ip67 rating.

Speak for yourself, I don't see anyone who doesn't use them anymore and say that they don't regret it. If anything, they want them back as a standard feature. The only feature I can see that most average users won't use is the Ready For Desktop Mode, but Desktop Mode, in general, is now gaining traction among them as well. Read any comment on YouTube videos about lap dock like the new NexDock 360 and see how many average users are actually anticipating such an idea.

                  This is what UFS Host Performance Booster does:

                  UFS Host Performance Booster mode seeks to enhance the random read performance for Universal Flash Storage by using the system RAM as a cache for the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) mapping table. With the protocols of HPB for allowing the caching address mapping table to be in system RAM rather than NAND flash memory, random read performance can be 50~70% faster.

                    From official global page for 11 Lite 5G NE:

                    "Heat pipe technology - Efficient heat dissipation"

                    "UFS 2.2 storage with Host Performance Booster"

                    Host Performance Booster is optional for UFS, for UFS 2.2 tho it has low value than on UFS 3.x

However, the A52 5G costs $530 while the POCO F3 is $560. I would go for F3 over the A52s anyday keeping in mind the entry and sustained price point of the A52 and that weakling SD 750 5G and Samsung phones in general.

                        Anonymous, 15 Sep 2021449 EUR a52s (6/128gb) and this 8/128gb for 399 EUR sure any day.Yes but you have ip67 and a slightly better main camera and a much better ultrawide in exchange for an inferior quality of materials.

What kind of weed are you smoking? It doesn't even have microSD card support or a headphone jack for crying out loud! Even the USB-C port is still the plain old 2.0 version. The UI itself is not great either because of the built-in ads. The only reason you buy that phone is because of the screen, that's it. If you really want to talk about good value, Motorola Moto G100 should be the perfect example. Stock AOSP UI with zero ads, front ultrawide camera, PDAF rear ultrawide camera, microSD card support, headphone jack, USB-C 3.1 with Ready For Desktop Mode, and 5,000mAh battery. It easily crushes that Poco all day long.

                                  In the midrange region there are only 2 top choices, the Galaxy A52S and the Poco F3, the A52S is basically a min S21 in all but performance and on top of that if you want expandable storage on a top end Samsung phone it's the only one, and the Poco F3 is the best value for money regardless of which way you slice it

                                    Love that symmetrical bezel.

                                    It's not a deal breaker for me if the bezels aren't symmetrical anyway as in actual use, I hardly pay any attention to them.

                                      Doesn't care about other specs except this phone has newer SD chip and cheaper than Pixel 5. Also, SYMMETRICAL BEZELS. 😎

                                        Competitor for Realme GT Master Edition eh?
