      It's a shame that I can't really wait another year to upgrade to S8G3, but this still very worthwhile compared to the last two years of trash SoCs.

            I don't see Poco logo at the bottom. They don't have any plan to use it as a flagship killer phone?

                                It wasn't mentioned in this article, but the x70 modem should also be noted. Qualcomm has a much larger tech edge with their RF technology than CPU's.
