Redmi K30 is coming...6,66inch, 120Hz, 730G and Dual hole-punch.
I hate hole-punch screens, Po-up on K20 is much better.
What do you think?

I'm not sold on the K30 except if i NEED 5G (and i don't atm).
As i don't game, 120Hz is useless for me (yea ppl say it's smoother and you will never go back but i don't agree with the never go back, 60hz is enough).
The lack of popup is better, i though i was going to love but i hate the K20 pop up camera.
Last, so far it's all rumors, i doubt it will have a 120hz display with the SD 730G

Pop-up camera without useless notch is the best option

And I'm kinda the opposite. I wasn't all set on the pop-up camera but I said "meh, it's worth a try" and now I love it. The quality is great both in pictures and build quality. I don't worry about breaking it at all, in fact I think Xiaomi paid too much attention to the build quality of the motor - it won't break before other parts of the phone. However I now see a benefit - and that's privacy. If a shady app wants to spy on me, I would definitely notice it. And when I do - I could either fully uninstall the app or even better - push the camera down with my finger which tells the app to stop 'spamming' the front camera and disables the access to the front camera for it. I think the pop-up camera is great.

I am thinking to get a budget phone like Xiaomi redmi 4, or 4x or Lenovo P2. However I am not sure how is the camera quality in these phones against our g2.
Any feedback please?

go to gsmarena, put all 3 devices in compare and see the differences...
many if the newer devices have better camera than lg g2...
yesterday, my wife bought a Huawei Honor 7 Lite (or 5C) and it beats my old lg g2 camera by a mile... mainly because a much better sensor and lower\brighter f-stop lens (f2.0)...
and the price of that new Huawei was around 210$ (carrier free)... sure, it can be found even cheaper on the internet...
The camera of the G2 is much better than the camera found on the redmi note 3 pro. I guess that the camera on the other budget Xiaomi phones ain't gonna be special, either. In daylight you can't see much of a difference between the G2 and the Xiaomis, but in low light the G2 performs much better. To sum this up, you don't buy Xiaomis for their cameras. You won't be so disappointed but you won't be amazed either. You should think of other criteria before buying a new phone.
Hit thanks if I helped!

Well, a xiaomi ticks all my requirements, minus the camera performance. I think that camera has become so advanced in new phones that is difficult to neglect it.
Which phone under 300 usd has the best camera today?

Take a look at the mi5s. It's in your budget if you buy it from China and it's probably one of the best Xiaomis out there. When it came out it had some problems with the fingerprint sensor performance, though. I don't know if it has been fixed. The Lenovo zuk z2 (pro) is also a good option.
I have a oneplus 6, notch is not as big etc, but it happily shows notifications in the notch area....have they yet enabled a feature to show notifications in notch area ? or is there a promised fix on the horizon?

That really is a shame, as notification icons in the notch should be easy to do, they just make them smaller in resolution, you can easily fit say 2 or 3 then the older ones just get push off the end....
If it's easy to do why don't you do it yourself and share here instead of complaining?

Why OP6 user trolling in Poco section?
Trolling nah I am a big fan of all things Android, I like the price point of the POCO F1, it is the right kind of price for me to buy and then to sell my oneplus 6 8gb with the new version ready soon too...as I would prefer to bank the extra in the short term...why not!
I often buy phones and use them for a few days just to test them out, currently playing with a redmi note 5 pro , was using a Mi A2 the other day (now sold) was playing with a A2 Lite a few weeks ago, toying with the Idea of a Mi Mix 2, pretty cheap at the moment.
I was all ready to buy the POCO f1 a couple of weekes ago, but once I read about the notifications.... I bailed....why not, standard feature missing...nah not good, but hoping to read it has been fixed very soon, but might order a Redmi note 6 Pro while I am waiting , but I am presuming that will have the same notification issue too...but at £148 delivered with all taxes paid to the UK it is fun just to try it out for a few days then sell it.

Where did you see it at £148? At this price I'd buy a second one as this phone is amazing. I paid £276 for the 128 GB version.
hey
This is not fixed. You can get a 3rd party to show notifications on the right side of home screen. Costs a few dollars works quite well for me.
I heard you can use a Rom (Lineage or Nitrogen) to remove the notch line altogether so the notifications are underneath.
Coming from an old LG G2 there are quite a few software things that are less "intelligent" in the poco (or MiUi) and quite a few things are arbitrarily non-customizable. The hardware/performance feels fantastic.
There is wasted space on the notch currently. if the watch would be aligned to the left and it would be allowed to remove WiFi and signal icons, I think there should be enough space for around 4 notifications.

I have the icons, but they are only visible for a couple of seconds after the notification.
It's nearly Christmas and I'm looking for a gift for my mum. For the past 4 years she's been using a Samsung Galaxy s3 and has been reluctant to upgrade, though at this point it's become so temperamental that Santa's gonna put his foot down and get her a new phone
I love my pocophone, she loves the photos I take with it and I've got a chunk of cash burning a hole in my pocket. I've seen the 128 gb version new for €240 which seems a no brainer
MIUI is no harder to use than the antiquated junk on her s3 and she'll love the 2 day battery life
My question to you good people is:
I haven't been watching the other phones on the market. Is there anything that competes seriously in the same price range? I'd rather not get her anything second hand as Santa still doesn't recycle, surprisingly enough
Thanks for any suggestions
I was hoping for the note 10 / cc9 pro but I'd say other than the camera it is worse and costs 450€, like wtf. The only thing which the poco is lacking in my opinion is nfc. If she is not going to use it she'll be perfectly fine with the phone. Ah and ghost touches. Lets hope that there are no fts panels around anymore or whatever the reason for that is.
I would say the Poco F1 might be overkill. Go checkout the Redmi Note 7 or Redmi Note 8 plenty fast and also very good camera. Might be a bit cheaper and will work just as good.

Perhaps you're right - any opinions of the camera?
I guess the battery life would be huge too, given the processor

If she has an S3 now she will be over the moon with the Redmi Note 7 or 8 camera, my colleague was really happy with the pictures. A serious advantage over the S3 in darker wintertime etc. Also the speed of the camera is a lot faster. You can also install Gcam on them without rooting or modding them which is also great if you want to get her into photography.
When it comes down to battery life, yup, both phones are really amazing.
I also own a Redmi Note 5 pro and to be honest and fair, the processor in the Poco F1 is overkill for what I do. The Redmi Note 5 already handles everything more than fast enough without any waiting. Click and it's there, no frustration or lag. The 7 and 8 even have faster cpu's so no worries on that front.
Just some advice if you buy for your mother (my mother has a Redmi Note 5 pro also, guess how that happened ). What I did was order a glass screen protector and some cases. I guess for 20 euro on Aliexpress you are more than settled. Giving her the phone is really nice but giving it completely protected and usable is a must and she will really like that.
Redmi Note 8 pro or Mi 9 lite
I followed the above recommendations and bought a Redmi note 8
It arrived this week
It's great! She's gonna love it!
(Unfortunately I got it from an AliExpress seller meaning I was hit for another chunk of vat - should have bought it from eglobalcentral where I got my f1; they ship from within the eu)
Thanks for the advice peeps!
Interesting to note the feel of it - felt at least as well put together as my pocophone. Obviously a tiny bit of lag noticeable here and there, but it was minimal - though I saved it the burden of trying PUBG on it!
fones €240
Realme note 5 pro
Nokia 6.x
Mi8
xiaomi A3 (but ram is only 4gb , however xiaomi Cc9e chinese version has 6gb, camera result is not so good)
y7 (amazing camera)
and ofcourse
Galaxy M30 ! (or if you can go €300) (m30s 6/128 variant is something you should seriously check out)
Go with Redmi Note 8 Pro
As i strongly believe she doesn't require anything like Snapdragon 845
Looking forward to the launch tomorrow...the size of the box looks intriguing...hope there are some good deals on EE in the Uk

Faster, more secure, larger surface area, doesn't need to light up, thinner, just overall better, it's not exactly a must have but in a flagship at this price, it'd be nice to see

good point. sometimes the optical at night can be too bright.
Have to agree was looking forward to the X3 pro as an upgrade, but not overly excited to be honest...the Mi 11 seems better...
On another note is it just me or is anyone else hoping Sony launch the Xperia 1 III soon?
Hi, how are you ?
I have an a dilema, i hesitate on this find x3 pro or buy the S21 exynos (classic) ?
What do you think about that ?
I can't find any comparaison between this two because the X3 pro is only compared between S21 Ultra !
Thank ou in advance.

I've had the S21 Ultra 12Gb Exynos version for a week as a replacement for my Find X2 Pro. Gave my Find X2 Pro to my girl and regret it since.
Returned the S21 Ultra and got myself the Find X3 Pro and happy now!
The S21 Ultra turned me down in raw performance which was no where close to any SD888 device. Sure there's some major pros when it comes to the S21 U but same goes for the FX3Pro
I'm just glad to be back to Oppo
I'm glad to ear this i was buying the X3 pro yesterday (in replacement of my S10) please let me know when you have your X3 pro if it perform really better than the S21 ultra.

I've had it since a week and loving it every second. Performance is much better compared to the Exynos 2100 powered S21 Ultra.
The S21 Ultra holds 3 pros against de Find X3 Pro as far as they might concern anyone:
Zoom and 8K capabilities of the camera
Bigger battery ( though the X3 Pro seems to match battery life )
Bigger internal storage
For me these pros don't hold since I rarely use zoom and picture quality on the X3 Pro seems to be better
If battery drains a bit faster I'll just recharge the X3 Pro in a flash
I have a sufficient cloud drive so if my storage runs full I'll just move it there
For me the X3 Pro is the better option because it performs way better, charges faster and isn't as heavy and bulky as the S21 Ultra. A very well designed device which holds much easier and isn't that heavy
I've used the S21 Ultra for a week and at this point same goes for the Find X3 Pro
I wouldn't change back and I'm glad I switched

Yes exactly why I ordered my Find X3 Pro, all reviewers bark about the high price for the device but with this offer the value suddenly got a lot better. Also after latest firmware the device became a beast in performance. Now I know benchmarks don't tell the whole story but the Exynos powered S21 Ultra 16Gb only gave me 630000 points in Antutu. That seems like a serious difference in perrormance
FYI, some info:
OnePlus reveals 10T colors, and why alert slider and camera branding are gone
OnePlus has revealed the reason why the OnePlus 10T will skip the classic alert slider and Hasselblad camera branding.
www.androidauthority.com
I'm going to get this phone and they still have not yet revealed the complete specs, so I'm gonna wait for the best!
Same here. This 10T looks really nice.
I'm on 8 Pro for around 2 years now and was looking for a good successor. I've considered the Pixel 6 Pro, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Realme GT2 Pro and, sure, the OnePlus 10. These just didn't cut it for me though.
I'm really looking forward to the 10T's European release!
Edit: I wasn't aware of the fact that it can't wirelessly charge though... that's a real bummer. I use that on daily babe right now with my 8 Pro.
That and the fact that the alert slider will be absent makes me second guess if the 10T really is the phone for me.
Doubts, doubts, doubts...

From some reviews and the launch event, yes, and it should be 30% more efficient, but I would wait for some more long term reviews before buying. (Its also not even out so waiting is kind of a given lol) from benchmarks, it doesn't seem to do as well as other 8+ gen 1 phones in terms of score, however that may be due to not having the phone in performance mode. Until I get my hands on the phone itself tho, that's all the info I can really give.
