Not at all tempted by there's phones
The ximomi brand is always overpriced in the UK
The price is too high for a flagship killer the drawbacks of not having much storage capacity become too much
At the asking price
A generally problem with the ximomi brand phone not affordable enough
Not worthy of the high price tag

AnonD-1033007, 26 Jun 2022Until they make their software stable, no. That is why I always install custom ROM for Xiaomi phones. But with the Poco X4 GT running Dimensity 8100 chipset, custom ROM support can be almost inexistent since Mediatek chipsets, in general, never have a great custom ROM support in the firet place, unlike Snapdragon-powered Xiaomi phones.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2022Poco F2 Pro is still better than any Poco released after it... moreI have that exact phone and I believe it was the best Poco of the lot. Everyone keeps going on about F1 but F2 was great as well. Had the latest chip at the time being the sd865 with 5g and the 870 isn't really much of an upgrade. Amoled screen, 4700mah battery, head phone Jack, all screen display (pop up front facing camera) so no holes in the screen. I've had no issues with miui and just got another update yesterday and running on Android 12.

Poco F2 Pro is still better than any Poco released after it. Every smartphone since the start of the scamdemic has been utter trash.

Back at the day Poco was something when they started with F1. Nowadays they are just selling Redmi phones witn different back panel. MIUI was awesome, but starting slowly with 11th version they made it awful. It's not worth it dealing with them anymore.

IpsDisplay, 27 Jun 2022My conclusion is fine.. more support for more colors actual... moreMegapixel is just an example to set a point.
What I meant was, to a big extent HDR today stands for more "quantity" of colours.
Do more colours always mean better colours, or better looking colours?
A well tuned 8 bit display, is it always worse than a worse tuned 10 bit one?
Because I've seen some 10 bit displays that look dark, specially cheap ones.

Samath N8 808 owner, 27 Jun 2022As for your first para, yes, that's exactly what I mea... more8 bits is 2^8=256 Levels of brightness...for a total of (2^8)^3=16.777.216 colors
My old Amiga 500 already had 16 levels of brightness 2^4 with RGB it makes (2^4)^3=4.096 colors
About MP it's an other problem : it's size of photosites and size of the sensor...you've got for exemple 50MP 1/1.56" 1microns (Sony IMX766)...Samsung has a bad 50MP (JN1) 1/2.76" 0.64microns
Plus you've got image stabilisation.
AI and processing
It's something very hard to compare
I see both sensor : IMX766 on Oneplus Nord 2 and JN1 on Poco M4 Pro 5G...it's night and day. Poco is nowhere near! And it's normal when you read carefully the full specs.

After they established some kind of fanbase they slowly increased prices. Now, even Xiaomi wants 1200EUR for their phones. And no, phones at that price are not worth it. Not even Samsung or Apple ones, let alone Xiaomi.

POCO was interesting with F1 when it was cheap with the best SoC on the market... all the rest became very very bad... high price and average features/speed/options.... in general, they are nothing original anymore.

I am surprised how people are still supporting and excited for a fraud brand Poco even after X3 disaster. Even though not everyone had the same issues after update, but still there were enough users whose phones were totally dead.

Saturation is a different argument all together
1 billion colors display can literally display colors another non 1 billion color phone cannot display at all

I am definitely tempted with the X4 GT because of the impressive Dimensity 8100 chipset, but MIUI for Poco? That leaves a lot to be desired. Plus, being a Mediatek-powered smartphone, custom ROM support can be inexistent. I think I'll stick with the X3 Pro.

AnonD-1037771, 27 Jun 2022I'm switching from Samsung to Sony because there'... morei actually needed updates...
and my xperia 1 ii is still supported with updates, so not bad...
and next year, i can repurpose it as a media player and a camera after upgrading to 1iv (or 1v if it is significantly better, like having a tsmc fab sd8+g1 or better, just no samsung fab sd)...
or i might opt for lineage os, esp if 1ii will be under open device program, like the xperia 10 series...
