LiamComputer255, 05 Feb 2024What staggers me most of all is the fact that you can buy a... moreHere the A1 is 89 euro, A2 130 euro but that's because only one store sells it.
Under 100 euro there are only 4 options, Redmi A1, Moto E13 and 2 very old Alcatel phones that for some reason are still popular (probably because they go for 55 euro and nobody cares they run Android 8)
So 2 phones
But what if you have 109 euro spare? That unlocks the Moto G32, which at least in my country is the best option you have under 200 euro.
Now that is sad, because that means anything in between is same value or old, welcome to my country (-_-)

What staggers me most of all is the fact that you can buy a brand new smartphone, from a real company, for €70/$75 USD.

Time... more"It having USB-C alone would make it a huge upgrade."
Yeah, and that's the joke, if that counts as an upgrade on a phone..

GregLu, 05 Feb 2024Probably a 2MP cam that was in XIaomi inventory 😂I'm just saying it, because that on the left doesn't look like a sensor at all, just a grey plastic circle.

Anonymous, 05 Feb 2024Hope so, stock android It's Android Go, and Xiaomi is luckily not using much if any customisation on their phones running it.
So you get, few apps aside a near stock Android Go experience.

128 Gb to start, for a 75 USD device. And probably with a expansion slot too!
Same as some flagship that is sold 10x the price.
Without any expansion slot.
Anybody see the problem here ??

From the rear it looks like Xiaomi 13/14 Ultra with that camera island.
Also from other tech sites they say it will come with Android Go and have 4GB ram plus 4GB virtual ram.
Kind of weird to give 4GB virtual ram when Poco F5 8GB ram version only have 3GB virtual ram.
Weird that there is like 90hz screen and have a lot of specs to show for buy nothing about the chip with what it comes with.
So it be still something like G36 or something like that cause it's Android Go

I don't get the point of that big camera bung for a phone with a cheap camera. Maybe they think people will purchase it thinking the camera of this phone is top tier.

This huge photo block at the back, in addition to being ugly, is ridiculous. It makes the novice buyer believe that the camera is of good quality even though the sensor size is ridiculously small.

It looks like this is a pretty nice upgrade, rear and front cams 13MP/8MP, USB Type-C. The larger screen won't be kind to the pixel density though. Search online, the Forest Green looks quite distinguished. I'd say this would be good for a backup phone.
