Can get a Poco F3 with a snapdragon 870 for 300 euros. This looks pretty good but it's just way too much money. It's around 150 euros more than anyone would reasonably pay that is knowledgeable about smartphone tech. The camera is very good but it has no optical stabilisation and for a phone with a midrange chipset, I think they could have put a bit more into the camera department.

    This phone is pretty perfect as a phone. It's just too expensive. I expected 400 euros, not 500.

      Nope. Too much money for a midrange.

                      If it has headphone jack then yes without a doubt, but it doesn't so I prefer Galaxy A52s even if the camera isn't as good as on the Honor 70

                        In Europe the base variant is 500€. I doubt that in other parts of the world is half that price.
                        For 500€ is an overpriced phone. Period. No matter how you look at it.

                            Poco F4 - $300 (hardware inferior than Honor except chipset)
                            Honor 70 - $457 (best overall hardware & quality results for the price, 8gb ram & 256gb internal memory)
                            Vivo V25 Pro - $500 (good camera, inferior chipset)
                            Oppo Reno 8 - $548 (inferior camera & chipset)
                            Oppo Reno 8 Pro - $700 (overpriced)
                            Oneplus 10T - $731 (way overpriced)

                              The new IMX800 deserves to be Optically Stabilized and is larger siblings deserves larger batteries but honor did it reverse. It's a mess. Same device with 2 different SoC's is even messier.

                                  If they saved the 2MP useless depth camera the design could have been way better and I could consider it but I swore myself to never by a phone that has any of these useless sensors so.. PASS!
