            This phone is much hyped here in PH and it turns out to be worst. Appearance, speaker quality and awkward aesthetics are worst

                how does it compare to iphone se ? Whats the reason iphone se get 4.5 while this get 3 ?

                  So the g85 offers better battery life of the 730g on the mi note 10 lite

                  This LCD is pretty bad

                  The only manufacturer in the whole world that's giving high quality LCD panels .. sharp

                  They are globally releasing the Aquos R5G

                  Hdr10 support, 1000nits, pro IGZO LCD panel hopefully GsmArena gets a review unit

                  As it is the only phone presently that can represent LCD properly

                    This looks like a downgrade from redmi note 8. Especially in terms of display camera speaker and build quality. Redmi note 8 had one of the best speaker and display in its midrange/ low end phones

                      Helluva lot of expectations from a 150euro phone..In Europe they want 50-100euros more for it?Good luck to them...

Samsung traded performance for better screen, hence the same price. Should the performance be the same, the amoled screen is reason enough for the price to increase

                          Watch out Xiaomi, you've got competition. From yourself.

                                Therefore, no meaningful differences should be observed.

                                The problem is, if new Geekbench 5.1 was more accurate than previous version, 4cores A73 are still more powerful than 2cores A75; in other words, ALL SD675, SD710, and SD712 are actually overpriced for what they're worth.

                                On the other hand, 3 years old SD660 actually still better for its price; it has 4cores A73, Adreno 512 which support up to QHD resolution (compared to Adreno 610 which only supports FHD+), and relatively-efficient 14nm fabrication.

                                No wonder Nokia keep re-use SD660 for their mid-range lineup, instead of newer SD675 or SD71x series; they are just a bunch of overpriced SoC with overblown hype propaganda.

                                    Underpowered soc for the class? Rly gsmarena? What about Samsung a51 with their exynos 9611 for 300€, which is even behind this soc in power? Yes, there are better deals in the same price range, mostly from the same Xiaomi, but saying that this is underpowered soc for the class is irrelevant.

                                        Screen was an Achilles heel in the Redmi Note 8 was well. LCD panel is FHD resolution, but very cheap and suffers from ghosting issue (also occurs in Mi A1/A2).

                                        Not sure how the software is not fluent. G85 is supposedly faster than the C3's G70 (ignore benchmarks). Tested Mi Note 10 and K20 last year and it's quite snappy.

                                        Redmi Note 8 last year retailed somewhat cheaper than the realme 5/5i.
