    Ex: take the Samsung note 3 Vs moto G4. Albeit the Moto is ~2.5 years newer, many of the specs are, at best, close, it still loose at everything, except the price. And that's because the note (at its time) was a flagship while the Moto was a midrange, an entry level midrange that is. So yea, it's pretty much obvious that there are high chances for the s7 to still have a better camera then a 4 years newer mid phone.

            I got the 256 8gb variant for 200$. This phone has everything u need,not the best in terms of camera and display. But essential hardware features are kept,like SD card slot,NFC,IR blaster and headphone jack. Software is packed with features also. This is a no brainer mobile.

                  I bought this phone a good 5/6 months ago it was a buggy mess at first with terrible battery life and weird scrolling as well as it heating up like mad although after like a few weeks with one or two minor tweaks I managed to resolve the issue with my battery lasting a good 2 days of moderate use

Not only with Xiaomi. It is the same with all smartphone companies. For exemple, Oneplus Nord 2 indian variant(DN2101) blast twice in India but there is not a single blast in global variant(DN2103). Poor indians LOL

                                  Hello.I live in Germany and I bought the original Poco X3 pro 256 GB with 8 GB Ram.
                                  The phone is good and it charges in 1 hour.
                                  160 Hz display is insane.
                                  The camera is very very BAD.You can not take photos in the night.99% of the YouTube reviews are lies .
                                  I get better photos with my Samsung Galaxy S7.
                                  First and last time I buy a Poco phone.
                                  I wish you good luck friends.

                                    Gsmarena.com, this phone has two serious issues which you haven't covered. First is the tendency of the screen to have ghost touches and/or flickering. Secondly, it has a very poor PMIC leading to sudden hard bricks which can only be fixed via an RMA.

                                    The issue is so widespread that Indian service centres are not readily taking the phone for a repair as they've run out of stock of spare parts.

                                      I am on 12.5 7 stable version(global) with security updates for November. Perhaps the device GsmArena is reviewing is an India version?
