When lunch in India??

    Kaloyan, 28 Jan 2020It's 550 nits, thanks for noticing this!This changes everything, it makes the display at least average if not even a bit above average in terms of contrast ratio. The initial numbers looked worse than about anything in the last years.

    I hope you'll someday come with a concrete way to measure headphone output. It's pretty important and a clear comparison would be nice instead of "average/above average/worse than average". For example, I had 2 phones with "below average" output in the reviews, one was a few dB lower than I wanted, but the other was good enough for me.

        Good for the rest of the world, 240 USD is too much for us. Poor Iran, 240USD is almost equal to my salary

          This is the phone with the new 64MP Sony IMX686 camera sensor, the successor of the 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor found on the secondary camera of the upcoming Samsung S20 Ultra.

                  Good phone overall. But I wonder when this trend of adding inconveniences as a feature will end? First it was glass backs, then it is massive screens, now it's punch-holes and elevated rear cameras. When I read that whole work-around Xiaomi have done for those two-hole front cameras, I wondered, why can't we just have a slim bezel up there. And why are all phones coming with elevated rear cameras rather than being flush with the body. If the argument, is 'But you will anyway put a case...' Well, then why have a back at all? Just give users an exposed back and have them put a case. Same thing with glass backs. 'It doesn't matter if they are fragile or are fingerprint magnets. Everybody puts a case.'

                  If phones were built durable and beautiful, they wouldn't need a case. Curved screen corners eat into space, too.

                  Apologies if this sounds like a rant, but a bit tired of great phone and communication technology being ruined by bad hardware design. There is no minimalism, subtlety, functionality, durability. All phone designs are now about being massive, ugly and fragile.

                    Notsure, 27 Jan 2020The worst contrast ratio screen in recent history. It's sha... moreSir from a contrast point of view

                    But you realize that this display has superior colour accuracy Vs Samsung's S10 and even the iPhone 11 series both LCD and oled

                    At a delta of 1.0

                    And 1.2 nits of low brightness thate crazy low for a LCD hell for a smartphone screen overall

                    This is a high quality display without a doubt

                                What about about the speaker setup? You didnt mention anything, it's pretty important for, so if you could judt upgrade the review with a speakers comment, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

                                      k20/mi9t still worth to buy if you dont mind little
                                      improvement on performance and the 120Hz of K30

                                        The frame is plastic and the phone is really fragile, search for its durability test in YouTube to check yourself.
