GSMarena should make this type of list every 2-3 months. Very useful.

All this stuff is a matte... moreMy bad accidentally sent, as I was saying I had a cheap phone but it made calls, could text, and I could play games, browse the Internet, record, pretty much the same s**t the flagship do. For some reason I started reading about upcoming phones and reviews and what not all the time, why it interested me I don't know. Anyways now I gotta lg v40 and I love it, think its great does everything I want and it didn't even make this list even though it could of been added to a number of categories, whatever! Why its such an underdog and dissed on so much I don't know but the point is I like it, don't care what anyone else thinks. My point is if you commented on what your favorite phone is and some turd s**t all over it don't let it throw sand in your fruit loops. Their like me and have nothing better to do than troll GSM and spread their stupid opinions.

Some of you f***s just kill me. All this stuff is a matter of personal preference and opinion and yours really doesn't matter. For the longest time I had a plain old 35 dollar LL Rebel

I heard that Pie update brings 1080p@960fps option for super slow motion on XZ1 devices, as well as the new image processing from the XZ2 and XZ3 devices this year.
I wanna know, especially in low light, since the XZ1 Compact is known to have average low light performance.

drake parker, 24 Nov 2018I'm just concerned about MIUI. I'm not sure if it would sti... moreDon't mistake MIUI for Samsung Experience
They don't slow down as time goes by, and Xiaomi updates their MIUI version for up to 4 years or maybe even more
Pocophone F1's cameras aren't the best, but that's about what you'd expect from such a cheap flagship-level performance device
Install Google Camera and make it even better
Or maybe buy an older flagship instead with inferior performance but better in many other ways

Pocophone easily beats any phone if its older than 1year, flagship or not. From processing are lumia, nokia, xiaomi and oppo/samsung/apple(those 3 only in flagships) my favourite. Not that they can compete in price...
