But xiaomi has the lowest price usually for same/similar specs.
I would have bought nubia z20 if they gave updates/upgrades but so far from forums they gave none to global rom.
If Xiaomi made that phone even china only, I would have bought it because it would have updates at least.
Camera software should be exactly the same for rear and front usage, plus the mirror feature so subject can see how they look in camera
As for hardware, i think it's good enough. Sd855+, wide, ultra wide, telephoto, 4000 mah battery (could be higher), 27w charging.
Here's hope to redmi k40/poco f3 or mi mix 4 using this dual display concept.
It's the best solution to fullscreen while ud camera is still being developed

A second screen at the back will mean the same great rear camera is used for selfies rather than a dedicated selfie camera that's usually inferior to the rear camera. However, it would likely cost more and manufacturers have to contend with greater vulnerability of the second/rear screen to scratching/damage from dropping back first.

Flagship processors hea... moreif you would've read my comment, you wouldn't said anything. the phone incredibly hot when I do light tasks with nothing in the background. I disabled everything from google, including assistant, revoked every permision for any app. I reset my phone twice just to be sure. accordin to the setting nothig should run in the background, but the phone still heats up like crazy.
And you are right, nobody should buy any xiaomi device except from xiaomi itself, that was my mistake and of a lot of people that were too impatient to wait for xiaomi.
However, xiaomi should at least fix it because I have a warranty card from them, and it says that xiaomi will fix it, not the seller, not your gradma, not the postman but xiaomi, because it's their phone and according to the imei that they recognise as being a xiaomi phone with international warranty.
I am not saying that xiaomi phones are trash, what I'm saying is that their warranty is trash, and even worse they will not fix it even if I pay them, that should be ilegal

I'm 50-50 on buying the poco/k30 pro.
Maybe I'll just buy a midrange and wait for next year to find a flagship phone I want because this year still full of punch hole.

About the pop-up camera, it is the 2nd best option imho. Best available idea is dual display like nubia x and nubia z20.
I hope xiaomi makes mi mix 4 a dual display like nubia z20.
I love nubia z20 concept but i know they never give updates and camera settings are limited when using as front cam despite being same camera hardware. So i never bought it.

If you've never had any software updates from Xiaomi or if Google Playstore and other Google apps disappear after the factory reset, then you have a tampered ROM. Return phone for a refund and buy one from a reputable official Xiaomi seller.

Even the K30 PRO and POCO F2 Pro have the same hardware, there's no assurance installing software of one for the other will not create any problems. Xiaomi forbids it and do not honor warranties for phones with TAMPERED ROMs.

raycon, 22 Jun 2020please stop trolling. when we say it's hot it mean it's unc... moreI'm not trolling, I'm saying FACTS. Flagship processors heat up more, and yes, they can get hot especially recording 4K video continuously or intermittently for several hours like when you're recording safari or travel 4K videos. I should know because I regularly experience it in my other flagship phones and even upper midrange phones with over clocked processor.
When a phone overheats, it gives you a high temperature prompt and the performance suffers, in this case, the 4K recording skips frames. Performance throttles that's why it now skips frames. Other than that, it continues to operate and continues recording maintaining the much higher temperature but not getting any hotter. IT'S ABSOLUTELYNORMAL. It cools down once the 4K recording sessions stop.
So unless the phone is exhibiting other problems like shutting down or malfunctioning, it's flagship phone getting hot during processor extensive activities is perfectly normal. The only phones that don't heat up much are those with midrange processors.
The only time it's abnormal is when you can no longer hold the phone because the temperature rise hasn't plateaud and the phone has exhibited malfunctions like force closing apps repeatedly or shutting down or restarting spontaneously without the user doing it.
Overheating can frequently occur from rogue or malicious apps or apps going haywire or more commonly, CORRUPTION of android operating system. This is ESPECIALLY TRUE when accompanied by another symptom like RAPID BATTERY DRAIN. This a also happen for phones with TAMPERED ROM's. Example: Redmi K30 PRO with fake global ROM. From my experience, the only way to correct it is factory reset, assuming the software is OFFICIAL MIUI GLOBAL ROM. Otherwise, it's a hopeless case and installing the official/original ROM the phone came with, (example official CHINA ROM with no Google Playstore) is the only solution. That is why YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY from unofficial Xiaomi stores or grey market sellers. It's a gamble and when you get problems with the phone, Xiaomi won't honor it.

Every part of the phone is above 43c hot even when I watch youtube with nothing else in the background.
There's gonna be a lot of people complaining about this device, trust me. It's been available for only a couple of weeks and there's a lot of people having problems with it.
see the pop up camera failure in the video:
