Fredwinia, 11 Oct 2022I always have problems with xiaomi. Yellow spits on screen ... moreI can't really say its just any particular brand that has a particular problem. While you have issues with Xiaomi phones, I had issues with Realme phones. C3 got lines on the display when first booted up. I chalked it up to manufacturing defect, so I returned it and add up for Realme 6.

Realme 6 worked well for a while before its battery starting to drain abnormally fast starting from the 6th month, like 25 to 30% when left on standby at night with mobile data off. The phone also got very hot while charging that I resorted to using 10W charger instead. I can barely get 3 hours of SoT with battery saver and display set to 60Hz. Sent for check-up and the service center returned my phone saying everything working normally. Sold the phone and I never bought any Realme phone afterwards. I was like you, thinking maybe I have bad luck with Realme.

    I always have problems with xiaomi. Yellow spits on screen and battery deteriorates very fast . Just a 2 max 3 year phone. Am I the only one??? Or was it just bad luck?

          Honestly adding cameras for the sake of adding cameras, selling a quad-cam setup with only 2 functional & useful modules, should be banned. That's explicitely misleading.

                spoiler alert: literally just a redmi note 10s rebrand with minimal changes. the redmi note 10 pro is more or less the same price and is a far better buy

                  Anonymous, 10 Oct 2022Core A76 in late 2022? 🤣😂Snapdragon 680 the most commonly used chipset in 2022 is still using A73, so...

                    Esmejo, 11 Oct 2022Why are brands still using the mediatek G95? It's high... moreWhile we can trace its root back to G90T of 2019, the G95 is cutting edge compared to P35/G35 that are being used in some 2022 phones.

                      One of the few lower midrange phones with DC Dimming.

                        Great phones, and finally GSMArena review cheap phone.

                              Why are brands still using the mediatek G95? It's highly dated.

                                Interesting the fact a $230 xiaomi has higher IP rating than 12 Pro announced for 1200 euros.

                                  Core A76 in late 2022? 🤣😂

                                    Its really sad that in late 2022, base models over 200E are 4/64 only.
                                    As for the device itself, its another typical Xiaomi/Poco device spec/design wise.

                                      Another Macro depth useless cameras.

                                        Jesus christ... How can they release a phone with that photo quality in almost 2023? Sad stuff since it actually has good things going on for it, like battery life and performance. But the pictures are absolutely atrocious.
