    Look at gaming the GPU can't match the power in the G95 so in default it's going to natural run at lower levels

    If the GPU could have matched the peak on the G95 maybe then we could see the benefits translated bette

      And for 900 i rather would buy Mi 11 Ultra or Mi 12S ultra or *Honor Magic 4 Ultimate with 5x 50 mpix cameras.

            And Xiaomi still remains better in mid range segment.

                If these doesn't come with these chipsets, it will be end of dominance of Xiaomi in midrange segment.

                  IpsDisplay, 05 Sep 2022I prefer LCD but the M5s the better phone to get The G95... more6nm is just a glorified 7nm.

                  Meanwhile the desicion to drop GPU cores was totally a very bad idea. M5s is the superior option now.

                    This is the kind of stuff that makes me not want to buy Xiaomi phones anymore.

We need to wait for the battery life test of this phone to be able to judge that, isn't it?

                              Sanid, 05 Sep 2022Xiaomi this year ruined their midrange phones so bad, they ... moreA73 costs almost more than 550USD in my country and it's not worth except for camera. A little more money and you get S21FE and iQOO 9T with incredible battery, performance and camera. One Plus 10T with far better performance and camera. No need of Samsung. 550 is not midrange any more.

                                I prefer LCD but the M5s the better phone to get

                                The G95 has stronger GPU and everything else is about the same CPU wise

                                And the 6nm isn't making any meaningful efficiency difference in real world

                                  there well be no more complains about prices because mostly new smartphone in 2022 is getting expensive than 2021, but i ithink in 2023 much even pricier.

                                    I still use Poco M3 and it's still going fine. The best battery permormance was 4 days straight, no games only calls, text, WA, IG, and plethora of apps.

                                        Ugly notch design, 2 useless rear cameras, slow charge 👎👎👎 not worth to buy
