Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023Upper midrange?
Or mid-midrangers?
Cause of the choice of... morex30 is an upper midranger.
while predecessors like x20 are midrange.
though you get a good punch hole display, which is 100x better than cheap notched screen

Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023I think infinix and tecno are doing quite a good job with t... moreThere probably better then Xiaomi over here that kinda the popular know value for money phones
I did read a review of them
Infinix & Tecno do kinda fill that well known value for money brand for people on a budget
It's possible buy them in the UK market as well I think
I read a review of one of them I really liked it
As it had pop up camera on a budget and really nice screen
But really bad software blootware apps put me off
Am one of people who really can't stand bad software experience too me ads pop ups are the worsed thing in the world
The best advice I can give is use the price filter pick the highest end hardware specs minmuim 8gb ram & 128gb rom
you can get then start lowering the price
The cheapest phone left is the winner
Just see what you find
I don't know what phone will win
Tell me the cheapest 3 phone Modals you find
Best hardware for lowest price point
But for us the umdigi and hotwav phones where find them this way
Then we brought them
Best choice we ever made too do shopping this way
Just make sure use safe shopping website with buyers protection

Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023@Sin what do you have in mind to get?Definitely strongly recommend the cyber 7 pro
Or the cheaper cyber 9 pro
Hotwav very good
If I wasn't hell bent on hating the notched screens so much I buy a hotwav cyber 9 for myself
The only reason I don't buy one is because I want bezels screens but I am very tempted by them myself
I truely hate hole punch & notched screens so much I rather pay a price premium just get a phone with bezel or pop up camera if I have too
For me hole punch or notched screens is a deal breaker
Hotwav cyber 9 pro
It's the dreem budget phones that feels as good as mid range phones
Basically a mid range phones but at budget pricing
Ximomi is a rip off in comparison too hotwav
In terms hardware for the money
But everything thinks Xiaomi value for money with garbage software
but people buy them because they believe there value for money which they are not
So it's annoying see people choose Xiaomi when unknown brands are better than them
Just the sheer level of hardware hotwav offer for the money on there models is so good
People just can't believe it

Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023So don't you think there'll be compromises for th... morecompromises insane value for money??
There none at all
No compromise at all
They just completely out class there competition by such a huge margin it's so surreal
Hotwav cyber 9 pro is as good as it gets for the money
There not perfect but no phone is
Overall they made all of the best trade offs
But hotwav strengths well and truly out way there weaknesses
I dislike the notched they have
They durable with IP rating
The battery not user removable so one day that the phone will die and battery replacement might be hard
Software optimization can be little tempered at times
but there's not anything that can hold a candle too them in teams of performance
Also the sheer hardware specs they offer so good
They do have a gaming mode
And about their popularity, what's your take?
Well
Because they ofter so much for so little money
Yep too cheap so people have one look at them
This can't possibly be real
Most people either never heard of them or look at them
Unknown brand
Like thats impossible what's the catch etc
So people are scared off by low price we was scared when we brought one thinking we be sending it back
So yeah
Popularly and how good a product is are not related

They (Nokia) shouldn't have stopped making their "." phones. Notable examples were Nokia 8.3, 7.2, 7.1 etc. Those phones are better than their current G or X series.

X series are pretty ... moreUpper midrange?
Or mid-midrangers?
Cause of the choice of processors in the x10,x20,x100, etc, it'll be mid-midrange

The concept of repairability is very good, but I'm lost with the naming scheme of the phones. G22, G60, C22, G-series and C-series, X-series, some phones are almost the same but then again they operate in different series.

Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023So don't you think there'll be compromises for th... moreThere are always compromises when it comes to value for money.
Good chipset and higher RAM doesn't mean better user experience. Take Transsion's and Lenovo's phones for example.
Having better connectivity options doesn't mean you get better cellular reception. Take iPhones for your reference.
The ability to take better-looking photos doesn't mean that phones have good camera lenses. Take Pixels to Sony phones for example.
Having consistent updates for ages doesn't make your phone work much better than it was out of the box. Take iPhones as a reference for that too.
In the end, you need the best phone for your hard earned money, right?
I wouldn't recommend Hotwav unless it is convenient for you to take it to repairs, but it's your right to purchase what feels good for you. My experience with Nokia is far better than what I expected it to be.

Nokia fan, 28 Feb 2023You like miui??
How about XOS
I like XOSI actually got experience with few version of android
AndroidOne used be one of the best
It's the just standard base version of Android
But lately blootware apps are making where way on too phones that run AndroidOne
There androidgo but it's bit too limited in features and I not noticed much improvement over regularly android
So I don't really understand why it even exists.
Google could of just keeped supporting older lighter version of Android but choice make this crap Instead
There OneUi find on Samsung phone a lot of parish and well refined but dues have too much blootware and heavy skin on the os
Stock android still lives on umdigi phones
There blootware free
And have standard ul layout
With apps draw and every we come too expect from unmodified os
Umdigi do claim all there phones are stock android I have one of them it's stock android
Hotwav probably as clean os as you're going get no blootware apps it's missing a apps draw
It's plan kinda a bare os
But does have a gaming mode that might be a welcome extra there days

Mr. Beluga, 28 Feb 2023My only problem with MIUI is that, it's too reminiscen... moreOn software
Miui is known for being the worsed android os version
Miui is known for being completely filled up and ridded with blootware apps with ads built into the apps themselves
Yeah there trying style like ios copycat
There know for bugs and faultly updates and for some reason the uptodown app store don't work on Xiaomi phones
Some apps have been locked out from reading phone specs I have heard sketchly stuff
Xiaomi with software is probably a worse version of infinix or Tecno
Xiaomi phones are known for overheating problems also and throttling performance

Minu, 28 Feb 2023Xperias are unfortunately a niche market series of phonesI wish I was able find a good Sony Xperia phones at low price too recommend
But it's hard find anything good enough at a affordable prices with enough ram
Ideally the phone too have but price premium of them means there not for everyone
Not everyone can bite the bullet for a premium phone

Minu, 28 Feb 2023X20 is better than this as long as you can afford itOnly the 8gb ram modal
Of Nokia x20
could only beat hotwav cheapest budget phone
The hotwav cyber 9 pro
However the hotwav cyber 7 pro
Is about equal on beachmarks on aututu
With Nokia x20
I think the hotwav cyber 7 pro is by far the best phone mentioned
The hotwav phones do have twice the battery size
A more stable os experience and no blootware
Probably a lot better optimized then Nokia
The Nokia x20 I am sure has blootware apps per-installed and os feel slow for the hardware

The hotwav cyber 7 pro
Is the improved version of this phone
Definitely want I recommend
