My normal usage is just as valid as someone else's normal use who fills up no more than 25% of their 256GB storage.


By your logic, we only need 64GB and no more, since a handful of people use no more than 30-40GB of storage


I have no idea why do you people oppose to things that other people may find useful. How could an SD-card slot would have negatively impacted your usage ?

    They have billions of dollars, yet their software is still infested with bugs and lacking feature since God-knows how long


    May I remind you of how Global MIUI is vastly inferior to Chinese MIUI rom ?

    May I remind you as well that XIAOMI has different suppliers for their AMOLED panels ? One is Tianma, one is Huaxing. Tianma is used for about 90% of its AMOLED panels, and it is also the inferior one out there

I mean yes, flagships have better displays, but that doesn't mean mid rangers have low quality displays which are more prone to burn-in. And that simply isn't the case.

        Have you ever asked yourself, why most of the mid range phones that have AMOLED displays come with crap SoC and other components? Because majority of funds go for display so they fill the phone with the rest of the money.

        Have you ever wondered, why MIUI comes with GBs of bloatware on every phone and ads as well, that's the way Xiaomi (and now other brands) finance the phone. They sell you phone for cheap, and then they continue getting revenue as long as you use it. Constant money flow. And with that earned money, they could spend more on displays.

A normal, or for your case, an 'average' user is satisfied enough with 256 gigs of storage. 512 gigs being insufficient in a mobile phone is an abnormal case.

Do you even have any depth of knowledge on the current state of OLED technology? If budget phone OLEDs had the problem of being "weaker," we would actually see issues raised in that topic yet there are no articles or claims like that till now. So stop spewing nonsense and do some actual research.

                    Flagship phones also come in 128GB / 256GB and sometimes 512GB

                    But what happens if 512GB is still not enough for normal usage ? Phones nowadays are powerful enough to emulate some consoles. I use my phone to play PS2 and Nintendo Switch games, and those roms vary from 4GB per game all the way to 38GB per game


                    My usage is "normal" for my case, I use my phone to browse, call, text, watch Youtube and emulation. So yeah, you may be fine with companies taking out phone features and ripping you off, but not me bro

But there is a huge difference in manufacturing quality from AMOLEDs used by budget phones, and Top Tier AMOLEDs used in flagship phones

                      Budget phones with an AMOLED type screen have a significant chance of being susceptible to burn ins, wear and tear, and dead pixels compared to flagship AMOLED screen types. I don't think I even need to state this as that is general knowledge

                      Which is why it is best to supply budget phones with LCDs type panels. LCDs are not only significantly cheaper to manufacture and ship, but they have existed way longer in the market compared to AMOLEDs, and every OEM now has easy access to high quality LCD panels for general usage


                      Not to mention, again, how LCDs are inherently shaper than AMOLEDs. Full RGB LCD vs Pentile RGBG AMOLEDs


                      I would gladly sacrifice deeper blacks (AMOLED) for a sharper screen resolution and quality (LCD) any day

Every single one will at some time have burn-in because that's why how they work.

                                All you can do is use black theme as much as possible and never use phone at maximum brightness. 50% and below is the best way to prevent burn-in and by using black theme, you're saving the screen as well as battery.

                                        People buy Poco for performance and specs, not for looking at their phones and thinking how sexy they look 😐

                                        Camera seems to be the only upgrade from X5 Pro, while AMOLED isn't even an upgrade considering XIAOMI puts low quality AMOLEDs on their budget phones that seem to have burn ins within 1-2 years

                                        Not to mention how LCDs are still sharper than any AMOLED by design.
