I am leaning more on ISP being trash on 7s Gen 2.

Also funny it doesn't always have NFC in all EU countries and all other markets, like why the heck does one region have NFC and other not? NFC is dirt cheap and this thing starts at 349 euro in my country.

I am thinking either the ISP on 7s Gen 2 is garbage or Xiaomi engineers don't know how to tune the ISP.

LG made some fine pictures with 12mpx, and iPhones did that too when they had a main 12mpx.
And don't get me started about Pixel phones, they had a 12mpx sensor for ages and Google pushed it to the max, because in phones it's all about the software and a 200mpx sensor won't save bad software (Motorola and Xiaomi with 200mpx proving that)
Unless DLSR, on phones the software does all the job with picture quality.

the grading makes no sense on this site. I read much more negative reviews here andvthe score would be 4.5... just do away with the grading.. its hurting the quality of the site...

The review above specifically states that the Poco X6 does not have microSD support. Imagine that, their reviewer is actually good at their job and gave useful information.
This is a trend with GSMarena reviews, not stating what kind of SIM slot setup phones have or getting it wrong.
That battery life is absolutely terrible too. And the 7s Gen 2 is only as powerful as the 3 year old 778g. So it's another POS from Xiaomi.

WOW terrible battery life. It is really becoming a trend with Xiaomi phones. And this chipset is probably not quite efficient too.

And I agree with that assessment. The sustained performance of SD 7s Gen 2 is very impressive. And performance level is also pretty good, around SD 778.

The autonomy is low, definitely the SOCs built by Samsung always have a problem: either consumption or heating

The cameras in both Note 13 Pro(200MP) and this one(64MP) are terrible. Looks worse than cameras in 5 year old smartphones.

GSMarena, your "specs at a glance" state this has microSD support. But I don't think that's accurate. Does it have microSD or not?

chocowii, 11 Jan 2024Finally, my A52s can now rest. you're buying a phone with a chip that is almost the same as the one inside your A52s, wouldn't recommend
