Vivo Y72 5G looks good with its Mediatek 5G chipset in the budget segment and has a really good camera as well.

Who are these 'we'? I'll better have a teardrop than a notch, but in general a clear screen is much preferred.

I thought I was the only one who saw that too... The least we wanna see on secondary cameras is a punch hole design to the left, middle or right... Not all these unsightful tear drop bullshit and notches. At best we don't wanna see any cut out...
