And some people here still wonder why People buy Android phones below 400$.
Why wouldn't they?? A sub 300$ device is getting the job done.

This is already sold out in our country. LOL! Can't wait to try this! I still have the Poco X3 NFC and it's already a beast! What's more if you have the Pro, right?

Anonne, 23 Mar 2021I'm curious which one will be the mid-range king of th... moreAFAIK the reasons why manufacturers would add such large sensors is to increase detail for a smaller image output, you know things like quad bayer and nonacell, and maybe help improving low-light performance. Though large pixel 12MP sensors like those of google, apple, and samsung can actually do more or less the same job. Perhaps the huge megapixel sensors are easier to manufacture, coz with all the pixel binning they don't really need much good yield? I have no idea.
That, and things like 108MP and "64MP quad camera" sounds really marketable.

Only problem with the new smartphones in Xiaomi is the size too big for the hands to hold nice too bad

It's kinda hard to justify why would they downgrade the cameras tho. I don't think going down from 64+13 to 48+8 would really shave that much from the production cost. Adding a few dozens of euros for that and then some won't really reduce its value.
Though be glad that xiaomi's been giving us great options on the cheap. You want a great screen and camera? Get the redmi note 10 pro. You want a jack-of-all trades phone for a bargain price? Get the X3 nfc. You want a flagship level performance? Get this one. You want 5G? They got a whole slew of lites and redmi 5Gs that gives me headaches. You want them all? Get something like a k40 or mi 10t, or a proper flagship like mi 11, cause you can't really have your cake and eat it too.

I'm curious which one will be the mid-range king of this year, this phone or Redmi Note 10 Pro.
One thing I get is that basically, camera resolution of more than 12 MP isn't really practical and worth it. In the review 48 MP isn't worth it, it takes long time to process and the file size is too big. Looks like big resolution on smartphone cameras is just for the marketing boost and consumer appeal, at least for mid-range phones (flagships may tell different story).

Strawhat, 23 Mar 2021You want a $150 phone using Snapdragon 888 dude? Lol this i... moreExactly and according to the GSMA, 5g will not become the dominant mobile technology in the USA until 2025. Most people's phones are toast by then. I don't think that I'll have this phone in 2025. I might not even be here in 2025. So Anders is dismissing a phone because it lacks a mobile data transmission technology called 5G. 5G is not currently the most dominant and available mobile data transmission technology in the world and 4G is and will be for more than another 3 years. Some people really just talk before they think.

Anders, 22 Mar 2021If this had been Exactly the same as the X3 NFC but with th... moreYeah but it is a stupid attitude. You're saying 4G trash. A year ago or two years ago or even three years ago, 4g was cutting edge and people would pay over a thousand for a 4g phone. Are you saying that the iphone 11 from last year is now an outdated phone? 4G is not going to disappear. Networks will still upgrade their core LTE network. When 5G becomes more commonplace, 4G will be more important. What will happen is as more and more devices contend for 5g connectivity, networks will have bottlenecking and many people will sometimes choose the 4g connection because it will be less used. Probably less than 5% of the phones on the market are 5g so you're really limiting yourself. You do realize most people use WiFi anyway especially during a pandemic.

From the review : "The noise is extremely low, and we could argue the noise reduction took away some of the fine detail. This could be fixed with some processing finetuning in the next firmware update."
This will never happen!!! From my long experience with Xiaomi devices and other brands there won't be any update ever for the camera performance and the quality will always be the same. That's something many reviewers say but it's rare and it happens mostly for more expensive phones unless it's a serious bug and the camera is unusable.
But this is normal as it's another marketing trick so you have to buy their newer device next time which despite having similar specs the software this time is indeed updated and improved. And this is the only time and way for you to get the
real software updates by buying a newer device. How sad this sounds but it's true.

97% stability score over at 3D Mark Wild Life Stress Test is impressive.
Better to have slightly slower but stable chipset.

Aaand, the ghosting/smearing is back -_-
Yaay...
I think I'll just wait for the Realme 8 or for a new Motorola G phone that's rumoured to come out soon.
