No mention of the AOD? Is it really just 10 seconds?
What is the point then calling it ALWAYS on display?

    The SD 7+ Gen 2 is basically a reworked and slightly less powerful SD 8+ Gen 1 ...so all the qualities of that SoC will be shown here including the ISP, performances,etc...I hope Qualcomm will do this every year from now on... it's really quite brilliant of them!

      It seems like a great device overall and probably better buy than F5 Pro. Xiaomi really did a good job with this one. It wipes the floor with A54 and it's cheaper!

        ok, read the review carefully, I really believe that my choice to buy a samsung a54 at €350 in a shop last week was the right thing

          AnonD-986504, 12 May 2023Exactly! I see a lot of people here ignoring the performanc... moreI mean just look at the competitors gsmarena is recommending, perhaps Covid really screwed with the midrangers SoC release/availability part, especially when there were still new midrange models in 2023 being released with 778G.. Then there's SD 888/888+, 8 Gen 1, Dimensity 1080 and Exynos 1280 which makes choosing a recent SoC for midrangers quite underwhelming.

            Mikeromeoz, 12 May 2023It actually has a decent improvement over the 870? Nicee. T... moreThe sustained performance it's gonna be bad, because they put a plastic back plate instead of a glass one, and it's reflected in cpu stress test.

              How about Oneplus ace v2 / nord 3?
              Is it a good choice than poco f5? I don't need OIS btw

T... moreCorrect me if I am wrong but SD7+G2 has a slightly weaker GPU than the benchmarks suggest. For example in the benchmarks it is comaprable to the SD8G1 but in reality it's GPU is quite a bit weaker.

                      Best price for performance ratio in this price range. It blew samsung galaxy a34 or even a54 with exynos!

                        I think UD fingerprint readers are gimmicks i have it on my phone and i hate it. I would take side mounted over this any day.

                            side-mounted FP is faster than underscreen reader (optical one)

                                    again with that fake always on display... while samsung have real one also on the A34. i think i will go with it or with the A54. they cost more but there is a reason

                                      Nothing at all

                                        Side mounted fingerprint reader is actually a pro in some situations. I personally found it to be faster more reliable and most importantly one hand operation ready compared to underdisplay counterpart
