        S25 of course there are no any points where pixel could win
        (Screen/camera/CPU/ai software/sound... And more ) Pixel will only waste your money. I bought Motorola instead of pixel and it was great deal 🤝 especially with 50 % off discount 😁

          Then, give me another 6.2" featherweight phone at 7.2 mm and 160 g, with amoled 1-120 Hz display, Snapdragon elite performance and efficiency, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, three amazing cameras (for most people), DeX, etc., all for around 600 euros with free wireless earbuds (at pre-order).

          I'll wait. Sounds like a pretty good deal for something you call "midrange".

          Even other so-called "small" flagships aren't even remotely close to the S25 in terms of size, weight, and thinness.

            Anonymous, 07 Apr 2025870 is also pretty old chip and not that good anymore. You ... moreNo, it's old, but it is still better than many new midrange chips, like exynos 1480, SD 7s gen 3, dimensity 7300, etc.

                Funny seeing and having a pol with two midrangers with a price of a flagship.

                        Already only looking at the thumbnail , clearly the Samsung has better dynamic range at daylight. Funny.

                                        PureOS, 07 Apr 2025Software. Xiaomi UI is very heavy, not so good optimised, m... moreMi 12x uses the Snapdragon 870, which is really just an overclocked 865. It was the flagship back in the days but it's a very old chip at this point. It's marginally better than the one in the CMF phone.

                                        The Mi 12x probably slower just from bring used for so long whereas the cmf is a new phone.

                                        I agree MIUI/HyperOS is a bit bloated these days, but really I found the software experience of stock android to be very bare bones for not much speed difference. I know here most people think stock is be all end all, but it's really what manufacturers with nothing to different themselves try to cope with. Motorola is terrible, which is sad I think the pre Lenovo, Google days of the Moto had a better showing.

                                        Now onto Pixels... every since Google axed the Nexus line for Pixel, their software has gone down the drain, old AOSP android on the Nexus line was very stable, but Pixel with these new features are buggy as hell.
