Moto G31 is available at 9499 with G85 and FHD AMOLED screen. This is a waste

    Anonymous, 21 Feb 2023Remember it‘s not real leather, it‘s just fancy plasticEven if it's plastic but it will add a good impression, the grip is more comfortable, without fingerprint and smudges etc

      IpsDisplay, 21 Feb 2023I like smartphones like these it helps to answer the questi... moreInteresting question. It depends who do you ask. Everyone has a bare minimum for them self. For some this phone has all they'll ever need, but what if someone wants more, like playing modern 3D games on a phone or shoot pictures and videos which doesn't suck. Maybe that's the bare minimum for them. For me personaly as I don't play any games on my phone, any low-end or mid-end chipset would do just fine, but on the other hand I really want the best possible camera set for the buck. So naturally these cheap phones aren't enough for me and I will gladly spend more to get what I personaly need from a phone as my priority.

      Cheers!

        $115 is a good entry price. Let us wait and see.

          Anonymous, 21 Feb 2023yes its minimal if just one. but what about 8 million?Just make the phone itself like 5 usd more expensive, nobody would notice the price difference, the profits would actually be more, especially because they would be able to sell more phones like that.

I guess the margin is really slim in this price segment so Poco has to cut out Type C port to get the G85 and faux leather back. Still better specs than offerings from other brands though.

                  I like smartphones like these it helps to answer the question...

                  What is the bare minimum necessary

                  What's the lowest configuration possible to have playable game experience and fluid enough software experience


                  A question sadly the tech space doesn't care about.. tech space philosophy is ... wasteful abundance having power/features that isn't being used

                  Will there ever be a low end smartphone with a 4.7 star review rating?

                      DarlingYext, 21 Feb 2023The most disgusting phone design I've seen so far. Fits right there in a biker jacket, Power Black. MicroUSB heck yeah.

                        But will it actually be available selling at a reasonable price

                              The cost between microUSB and Type C is minimal, we are talking cents in production. It could still be 10W just USB C. It's easily the main turn off point on this phone. Everything else is forgivable since it's a cheap phone.

                                    rizki1, 21 Feb 2023for me having microUSB is better than Helio G35.Better for sure, but you can get all around better, more powerful phones at this price that also have type-c. For example the Redmi 10, or the 10C if the regular 10 is more expensive for some reason, where you live. They are the same price where I live and obviusly the regular Redmi 10 is much better than this phone, or the Redmi 10C, but even the 10C is better than this. Redmi 10, 10C costs 166 eur in my country, Redmi 12C (Poco C55) isn't being sold yet, but knowing my country it will cost about the same as the above mentioned duo, while being much worse.

                                        It's also not a leather back, just plastic made to look like leather, which is fine, but it's not expensive.
