Awesome
What’s the best midrange phone that films video in either HD or 4k with image stabilization? Either optical or electronic? Nobody seems to include this in phone reviews and these days it’s becoming important.
You’ve missed the NORD 2.
Watching it on my F3
X3 Pro wins at only 199 🔥
true that , xiaomi rocks ,
i myself own a redmi note 8
and my wife redmi note 10s
Which phone has best gaming perfomance? Example pubgm,codm, omega legends etc…
Poco f3 has the worst camera I have ever seen in a phone. I had it one day. What a gorgeous screen, fast experience …but then the camera that only produces extremely dull photos that lost all the life in it. Grayish , dull unsaturated and fake colors. Had to bring it back and exchanged it for the samsung a52 4g. Way way way better camera and still a great bright screen. Satisfied!
I’ve had the Poco f3 for about a month it’s really good. definitely would recommend
Very nice and knowledgeable thank you gsmarena well done 👍👍
Aaah where the mi 11 lite 5g 😮
I’d avoid Poco like the plague. The ROM is absolute dogshit.
Poco X3 Pro is amazing
OnePlus Nord CE. Great phone wish it was a little more compact.
Do not support Chinese products.
Wait, why isn’t the Motorola edge series not included?
Samsung A52 5G should be at 2nd place
Great video. I think poco m3 should be on the list as best low budget phone…
The amount of poco advertising bots here is astounding
Please suggest me a phone below category
Amoled display – 6-8gb ram – Good processor – 90 or 120 Hz Refresh rate – Better camera – 6 inches display – 5g
Hello Angie 🙋🏼 i’m here to steal ur ♥️
I thought the m11 lite would have been in this list.
I love you ❤️
Where is moto
xiaomi is the best on the mid range list.
I will definitely buy
Xioami Redmi Note 🔟
Realme gt lineup nice too..realme gt neo,neo flash,master…
If you need a cheap phone where games are important xiaomi is the best choice.
But in my experience they have allot of bugs in day to day use.
The mi 9 i only had to review for a couple of weeks but had allot of issues.
I have dash cams and security cams from them and after a couple of months they are having weird problems.
You forget to mention that all Xiaomi and Poco phones come with an IR blaster. It’s very cool feature and needed for some users.
Realme 8 has some shitty build quality and th didnt even mentioned the display protection .
In my opinion redmi note 10/10s should have been here too
Note 9
Real me 8
Poco x3 nfc
Poco x3 pro
Mi note 10 pro
Oneplus nord ce 5G
A42 5G
Poco f3
I’m glad that poco m3 isn’t here lmao haha. But i think redmi note 10 should be here.
Pixel 4a? Unlimited photo storage…
Her face expressions looks worried.
I’d say the galaxy a52 and 5g model as well should be here. The 42 kind of sucks
Poco X3 Pro has it all.
It’s is the KING OF MIDRANGE PHONES.
sd860/48mpQuad/120hz/5kBatt/iRblaster/nfc/256GBinternal/SDCARD AND HEADPHONE JACK!!!
what more can i ask for it’s price?
actually, it would’ve been Poco F3, minus the sd card. What a bummer
Hottest phone of the summer? Yep its overheats lol
We missed you angie ❤
Great but I disagree. The best midrange phones are always the last years flagship at half the cost. Like my Not 10+ 5g I got for $500 on black Friday this is the best phone for the money. great processor 512gb memory SD slot, good cameras, bright screen, spen, superfast 45 watt charging. I’ll keep it til it dies 👍
Google services ?
I have had the PoccoX3 for around a year now… Definitely slowing down and sometimes I never receive messages unless open the app which is really annoying
All of them have garbage on the screen. What a shitty time to buy a phone….
We’re leaving in the time where good specs phones matches your budget.
What the best midrange phone for video recording..any suggest?
What about the Oneplus Nord 2?
Angie is sure looking good!
(sigh) and on EVERY ..single one of these phones..the idiot manufacturers kept putting the damn front camera on the screen in a way that interrupts the experience ( unlike the Sony xperia phones where they had SENSE enough..NOT to do this)
And yes..I know so many mid and flagship phones are like this these days. That doesn’t make it sensible or wise just because they’ve made it that way.
I don’t want a damn camera interrupting the screen…ever..period…Watching movies, playing games, viewing screen shots or photos..I don’t care what the situation is.
Hell I’d rather not have a damn front face camera..period if i had the choice.
waiting for Galaxy S21 FE..
Galaxy S20 for $400 in 2021 right now on Fi
I will wait for festival season sales
