hmm, 28 May 2022For flagship it needs to have everything top of the class. ... moreThis is an interesting point. But how can a flagship compete against a gaming phone. Flagship to me is gaming phone specs. Otherwise a standard flagship would melt under gaming strain...

For a gaming phone. The cameras are probably the best for a gaming phone the cameras are exceptional. I know. I am in Tel Aviv with a large group of people. All with flagship phones. Rog phone, oneplus, Samsung, Apple. And my K50G. Cameras excel more than some flagships actually. And video too. Exceptional gaming phone cameras.

Now the camera maybe Bo Huawei, or Leica or zeiss lens etc... But after putting the camera and video through its paces in Tel Aviv at the port and marina and on the speed boat... Wow! The camera and video options and performance is amazing actually. Not quite 100% flagship... But not far off and better in some ways. Even better than my friends iPhone 12 pro max next to me... The cameras are actually very good. And good. And the video is very very good. Some areas are have a weakness here and there. But where it has strengths. It's exceptional.

hmm, 28 May 2022There are better options for the same money or the added mo... moreBecause I totally didn't give Galaxy S22 as option either. Million times better option even if it's the one with Exynos. Xiaomi is just delusional by inflating prices like crazy and not fixing ANY of the problems they have for years. It being Poco just means it's a tier lower than Xiaomi in terms of software quality. They slapped the price on it like it's ultra premium with top notch almost everything. I don't care if it's great on paper when it's not in reality and especially not long term.

MagicMonkeyBoy, 27 May 2022Erm. Yes it is... I have the K50G and Red Magic. I actually... moreFor flagship it needs to have everything top of the class. Camera is not a main thing for Poco as that brand is made more for gaming as performance first. And now this Poco is same as Xiaomi Black Shark series as it cost the same too while dont have much of a difference.
For me i think it was a flaw to go with high price for Poco and would of being better to try and hold the price under 300 euro so more people have access on better performance for gaming.

SShock, 27 May 2022The pricing makes no sense. Who on earth would buy this for... moreThere are better options for the same money or the added money for iphone 13 is already enough to get even better phone in android. There is no way people would go with iphone 13 over phones like this with large screen and bigger battery with faster charger and other features. People who look for Android phones wont go with Apple phones

SShock, 27 May 2022No it's not. Far from it. It just has a basically flag... moreErm. Yes it is... I have the K50G and Red Magic. I actually prefer my K50G to the Red Magic. Which shows how good the K50G is.
And yes. It is most definately overall a flagship and better than a flagship in quite a lot of areas.
You don't have the phone. You don't actually know.

As most of you know... I already own the K50G... With the official metal case and mag cooler. It is absolutely an awesome flagship phone. The cameras are good too. But it is a gaming phone. The sound is out of this world. I am also a red magic owner too. But the K50G is one heck of a flagship hybrid gaming phone. I am not joking. This phone is flagship. Infact. For a lot of aspects better than flagship. Give this phone a week or two. And your hooked. Those mechanical shoulder buttons are better than my red magic capacitive ones. Probably because I bought a razer mechanical keyboard recently. So they feel kind of like that. The display, sound, touch, antenna arrangement, cooling, powerful processor. Even faster than UFS 3. 1, with I/O Turbo. This phone is a killer. All the way. Even the 64mp camera is good. Okay. It's no Huawei, honor, vivo camera. But almost. It's a gaming phone all the way. And... A perfect flagship. Pop up those mechanical triggers.... And you have a very very high performance for gaming. It's pretty extreme even for gaming. It's almost red magic performance. And even better with the mechanical triggers...

I'd rather pay £699 for Poco F4 pro which has a 2k display, Dimensity 9000 and 256/12 variant.

Xiaomi is totally overpriced now and with them slapping Laica branding on it, it'll just get more expensive. And they haven't addressed a single thing that has been wrong with Xiaomi phones for years, garbage software support being one of biggest ones. Poco, being a subrand of a Xiaomi, you can imagine they care even less about that, making it even worse choice. Again, if this was 500 GBP, I'd still defend it through price. But it's not a complete package and it has idiotically inflated price. Just no.

What do u even mean by "proper phone like IpHoNe 13"??
(instead u could've said that wait a few months (if one can ofc) and u could buy the i13 for about the same price since the i14 is right around the corner)
S22 as good as a phone on paper isn't all that good apart from the camera+s/w.
Also u are forgetting that this pricing is for the SKU with 12/256GB, so if u want equivalent storage on the iphone, u have to pay at least another GBP 100!
I too don't like miui at all (haven't tried Poco tho, but have heard that's its better/cleaner), but s/w support is over-rated imho and not everyone cares about it (I personally don't give 2 f@#%s about it). I buy a smartphone for what it gives me today (h/w+s/w), not some random "feature/ui" a company decides to bring 2,3+ yrs later. (android already has many features anyways)
