    ok so if anyone wanted to buy any phones on this list don't buy those with snapdragon 8 gen 1. that piece of $%^&* is very inefficent and runs hot enough to burn your skin off

      Google Pixels are way overrated. They have a number of drawbacks (see reviews) yet there is an exagerated hype about them. They are the iphones of android world and this is not a praise

        All of those fancy specs don't matter if the phone doesn't have the frequency bands to work where I live. I'm in the US so most of these great phones are just dreams.

What's the point of having the fastest chipset if your screen has a non existent sizing and you can't even see anything on the low res and tiny screen? It's like a Ferrari but the seats are a pool of broken glass. Makes zero sense. Just put a last gen chipset on the XR if you want a flagship killer.

              iPhone SE 3 could be considered a flagship killer. More performance than any Android flagship at only 40% of the price. The other specs lag behind of course, but that was the case with the original „flagship killer“ (OnePlus One) as well

                    How can you name "a flagship killer" the phone with such a weak battery and poor battery life

                      I am kind of surprised the Poco F4 GT was added here after its great performance only exists in benchmarks. When running CPU or GPU intensive tasks it will just throttle like hell and run considerably slower than the regular F4.

                        cmcm, 19 Nov 2022What about Xiaomi mi 12T pro u didn't mention it????It's in the Premium All Rounder classification. It does not fit on the Flagship-killer price range nor in the Flagship so it's there in-between which they labeled as the Premium All Rounder.

                              Anonymous, 15 Nov 2022But Samsung do sell the S20 FE and S21 FE with such camera ... moreI can totally agree with this. If you go to the Samsung USA website, the S21 FE 128GB is listed at $699. That is hardly a cheaper choice since it's only $100 off the smaller S22 with the same internal storage. Even the 256GB version is also separated by $100 between them. If Samsung sells the S21 FE with an RRP of $599 or $549, that would be a much better choice.

The only problem I see with it is that it's not significantly cheaper thah its more premium siblings. Samsung should undercut the FE model by $200 to $250 to make it competitive.

                                    How do you even define 'flagship killer' in the first place though, especially when they use the same flagship-grade chipset as the more expensive premium flagship. The only way I see with flagship killer is basically a midrange or upper-midrange phone with flagship-grade chipset, that's it.

                                      I feel that the Poco x4 gt is a strong contender in this aspect ,we have seen a lot of the Poco f3 and f4 both are just too similar asides from the upgrades in cooling and charging speed
