    "Also, the LG V30 is running on a different type of OS (...) and has worse performance than the Snapdragon 835"?

    "Also, X phone has worse performance than X phone's SoC."

    The sentence makes zero sense whatsoever. Regardless of whether your ridiculous point was sensible.

      Different software, different optimisation.

        Huh?

          So you told me to read what you wrote, while you're clearly not reading what I wrote.

          Also, the LG V30 is running on a different type of OS (LG UX compared to Nothing OS which is practically stock android but better) and has worse performance than the Snapdragon 835, obviously it'll be painful to swipe on with.

            justasmile, 23 Feb 2024"A glass sandwich is not more durable than plastic&quo... more"In this case, the Poco X6 Pro bent and broke in a snap in a YouTube video."
            I suppose that's true. Similar to the Nextbit Robin. Though glass still cracks easier than plastic.

            "Well it most likely should."
            You don't know and you can't make comments about the cameras when you don't even know details like these.

            "Not true. I've actually used it quite a lot for photography, it's definitely useful."
            Useful for niche situations.

            "What does that have to do with Dimensity 7200? lol"
            Read the rest of it buddy. "My old LG V30 was painful to use with its Snapdragon 835 just scrolling through apps or going through the UI. There's no point in settling for an inferior SoC." 🤦‍♂️

            "Again, unless you play heavy games, there's not going to be even a noticeable difference, especially because of Nothing OS."
            Again, read what I wrote.

              Even though the design is not the best, I am still gonna buy it because every single phone I have seen with similar specs and non-bloated software is more expensive.

                joe nodden, 23 Feb 2024No, durability is not worse since you want to bring up buil... more"A glass sandwich is not more durable than plastic"
                In this case, the Poco X6 Pro bent and broke in a snap in a YouTube video. Don't have to post a link for it, you can search it up and you'll see.
                And what about the fact that the Nothing Phone 2a has an aluminium frame? It also allows for more heat to be conducted out.

                "don't even know if the 2a has OIS"
                Well it most likely should.

                "Ultrawide cameras aren't everything buddy, they're for niche situations"
                Not true. I've actually used it quite a lot for photography, it's definitely useful.

                "My old LG V30 was painful to use with its Snapdragon 835"
                What does that have to do with Dimensity 7200? lol

                "The latter is almost half the Antutu score"
                Again, unless you play heavy games, there's not going to be even a noticeable difference, especially because of Nothing OS.

                  justasmile, 23 Feb 2024Well you're also paying for the experience. Poco X6 Pr... moreNo, durability is not worse since you want to bring up build quality. A glass sandwich is not more durable than plastic. No my Redmi K60 does not have a buggy OS. And you keep bringing up cameras when you don't even know if the 2a has OIS. 💀 Ultrawide cameras aren't everything buddy, they're for niche situations. And no, "the only difference you would notice is a slightly laggier performance when playing heavy games" that's not true in the slightest. My old LG V30 was painful to use with its Snapdragon 835 just scrolling through apps or going through the UI. There's no point in settling for an inferior SoC.

                  Though I was a bit wrong about the display resolution with the Poco X6 Pro, as I was using Kimovil which claimed it was QHD. So I said 1440p. Not sure why they call 1220p QHD but whatever. Still, 1220p vs 1080p and a Dimensity 8300 vs the 7200. The latter is almost half the Antutu score. Don't get why you're defending such a pathetic offering.

                    joe nodden, 22 Feb 2024Comparing trash to trash doesn't make it any less tras... moreWell you're also paying for the experience. Poco X6 Pro has weaker build quality (that includes the durability), slightly more buggy OS (and probably later updates), and worse cameras.

                    The advantages Poco X6 Pro has to offer are Dimensity 8300 and 1220p display as you said, and an extra 0.1 to the Bluetooth.

                    Maybe if you're a gamer and don't care about these, the Poco X6 Pro may be best. But for average users, i feel this suits them better, because really, the only difference you would notice is a slightly laggier performance when playing heavy games.

                      justasmile, 21 Feb 2024The price literally undercuts the Redmi note 13 pro and giv... moreComparing trash to trash doesn't make it any less trash. And you're ignoring the fact that the Xiaomi has a higher res display and a better main camera. If you wanna bring up Xiaomi phones there's the Poco X6 Pro. Same price as the Nothing, Dimensity 8300 vs 7200, 1440p vs 1080p display. Pretty terrible dude.

                            It's not actually that long, just looking long because of the wasted paragraphs.
