Should I go for this device over the Note 9S? It has an AMOLED display with significantly higher maximum brightness, faster charging, better water resistance and stereo speakers. However, these factors are mostly negligible to me.
The only thing keeping me aloof from purchasing is performance. I'm not a gamer but I wouldn't be happy if the phone became sluggish after 2 years of use. Snapdragon 678 isn't really that convincing. What do you think? You can suggest another alternative below $180 too (no Huawei or Mediatek-powered phones because I would like to install a custom ROM)

This thread is a comparison thread. Note to the OP. The reason it is a comparison thread is: you are trying to decide which phone to get. All though you are not specifically asking which phone is better, because you are deciding which phone to get will turn this thread into this phone is better than that one. These threads are not allowed as they start flame wars.
Please see a link here as to what type of comparison threads are allowed and what aren't.

I'm wanting to get my son decent cell phone for his birthday. Trying to spend under 200. So far the devices I'm considering the LeEco Le s3, the Blu Life One X2 or getting an older flagship like the Note 4. Which phone do you think is the best for under 200?
Avoid LeEco. It is in financial trouble and might go bankrupt. Then no support.
But if you are the type to flash your OS anyways, then I guess warranty aren't important.
I do like custom ROMs. I wasn't sure that device had any. Didn't seem to have a dedicated forum for the Le S3 so I didn't really check yet.
For reducing the amount of unnecessary clutter on xda this thread got closed. There is an established thread for requesting purchase advices. Please post your request over there.
Hi,
im about to buy a new phone in the 400 to 500 bucks price range.
It has to have an oled display with 80%+ screen to body ration, an atleast okayish camera and should survive the one or another drop unlike samsungs S8.
The
Huawei mate 10 pro
LG v30
Oneplus 5T
are my favorits but i honestly can't decide. I would like you to tell me what you would choose and please tell me why. Maybe some specs are more important to you than to me like a headphone jack (would be nice but not a changing fact for me) and thats why i'd like to know your personall choise with reasons :good:
Of course im open for other phone recommendations, maybe i oversaw(?) one but i'm pretty sure that one of these will make it
Thank you
just realised that this should probably go into Q&A sry about that

Hello
I am having a hard time deciding whether I want to buy this phone or not. I mean when I read its specs it totally blew me away for its price, but reading people's experiences makes me steer away from it because Ive read about so many bugs in this device and I dont want a new device to be a headache for me. So what do you guys think, should I get the note 9s or should I buy samsung's A51 which has close specs and similar price?
I mainly use my phone for social media and moderate gaming. Also the development scene is very important to me especially after 1 - 2 years when the phone gets old
Really are you asking this? A51 sucks compares to this 9s...
I think the most comparable Samsung phone to RN9S is Galaxy A71 (however is little better specced, SD 730 and 64 MP main camera). If you can go for A71, go for it. I needed to sell my RN9S due to annoying bugs, don't buy if you can, at least until all bugs will be fixed.

In most things they are the same. But a51 gets too much hot during games. It's because of exynos cheepset.
I tried both. Note 9s is better than a51 Samsung.
I'm a Pocophone F1 user since launch, it was a so hyped phone and I don't regret the purchase. Poco as a concept was great at all, a "flagship killer" phone with a top processor such as the Snapdragon 845, outstanding battery and amazing performance for a small price. The only flaw IMO is the screen: a non AMOLED screen with a huge notch on it (and touch issues who can be fixed with a custom kernel), but nothing else.
But with Poco F1 meeting it's EOL, and my phone having battery and screen issues, I think it's time to think about getting a new phone. So, what options do you recommend? The only thing I want is performance and good audio (3,5 jack with a good DAC), and a good screen. I don't care much about cameras.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this don't belong here.
Dude I'm in the same exact boat. I'm looking at a Poco X3. it's not really about what you can afford it's about why you should afford it and The Sweet spot money wise seems to be there for my needs. I'll trade you a question for a question though do you have any idea about how to get the Poco F1 to see things larger than 256 GB and it's micro SD card without forgetting the data cuz it has a tendency to do afterwards I learned that the hard way randomly small little files will continue to just not exist anymore... And I tried it with several different brands of 512 GB micro SD cards and I didn't just grab cheap ones off of the random mail order. And yes I did try to format them in different file systems however that wasn't as well liked by the phone
Hi guys, I've had the Poco F1 since it came on the market and I'm now thinking of buying something newer.
For me there are not many requirements, but they are still very difficult to find in a device.
1. a good camera
2. micro SD
I don't need an AMOLED display or the latest processor.
Good cameras are almost only found in the Higend devices.
But they usually don't have a micro SD and are much too expensive.
I've already read some reviews of the Poco X3, but I'm not sure how good the camera actually is compared to the Poco F1. I was always very satisfied with the camera of the Poco F1 and therefore my new device should definitely not have a worse camera.
Well in all honesty I would advise buying a Xiaomi 10T Lite if possible, it's in that price range kinda, the camera is good (from what I heard, haven't seen for myself). With it you also get a 120hz screen, so it is an upgrade in a way. Its your choice in the end so do as you wish.
Thread closed as it's off topic to Poco F1
