Anonymous, 08 Feb 2023No microsd? Nope. And still usb 2.0? Hahaha another e-waste. E-waste? Huh? Even premium flagship phone like the Samsung S23 series, Xiaomi 12 Series, iPhone 14 Series don't have MicroSD slot, but more people want to buy.

Jemlim, 08 Feb 2023for those other users whose 'normal usage' is hea... moreNo. They need an SD card.
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

Anonymous, 08 Feb 2023All kinds of (AM)OLED displays degrade over time and it doe... moreI agree that AMOLED is, by nature, weaker and more prone to burn ins. 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

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.

Looks identical to Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro Speed
But the later one has a 12Gb RAM option.
Everything else looks identical, even physical design.
