    The 'pure' android myth is exaggerated.

      Problem is they will price it insanely high for a Chinese brand

            I think XiaoMi 12 is not that good with price/performance anymore, Moto Edge X30 is better value. (And Mi 12 is better name than XiaoMi 12)

            Btw, enough with node crap. See Mi 11T vs Mi 11T pro benchmark and see that SD888 with SS node still beat D1200 with TSMC node (better performance with equal efficiency)

              What I'm actually looking for.

              A 7" phone.

              Fingerprint on the back.

              I got a OnePlus 8T currently. Perfect phone. But larger screen fingerprint on the back and I'd be real happy.

                interesting and promosing.
                Hopefully, SD8g1 won't be throttling

                  Better to wait for TSMC's snapdragon phones.

                    More interested in 12 Lite or 12T.

                        Anonymous, 02 Jan 2022Samsung did with S21/21+. Why cant xiaomi? Yup, i told people the S21 was worse than S20 and they defended the phone "because corona hurr durr" but when another brand does the same they get attacked
                        Still, every brand needs to stop this trend of releasing 3 flagship phones but only making 1 of them top notch while the other 2 have so many cut corners. The fact that the S21 is inferior to the S6 in some ways is a joke and looks like Apple is the only company who doesn't follow this ridiculous trend. As a matter of fact they actually upgraded the pro model so now it's the same as the pro max except with a smaller screen. Props to Apple

                          Waiting battery life and photo tests

                            This lineup would be great to run Android One and act as the Pixel devices in non-Pixel-supported areas imo.

                            If only one would realize this and capitalize on it.

                              They always use USB 2.0, so no display output to my projector/monitor. No, thank you.

                                You know how many options there are in this size? 10 at most, half of which are 6.1 inch iPhones, then Zenfone 8, Galaxy S21 and Pixel 4a, and that’s it.

                                There is even a size category below that, the ones you can completely use one-handed. But that only consists of 3 options: iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone SE

                                So stop crying about the options in the 6.5in+ category, you got more than enough choice

                                  Article has mistake.

                                  The 48MP previously used was 1/2" (8mm diagonal), now replaced by 1/2.78" 50MP (6.5mm diagonal).
