Looking for the best phone for 300
Mi9
Much better camera hardware here.
It depends what's important to you.
Mi Note 10 is better at:
- Screen, Mi Note 10 has an AMOLED Screen with slightly better ppi (K30 comes with an IPS LCD)
- Way better cameras
- Battery
K30 5G is better at:
- Processor
- Slightly faster RAM
So if you want great photos and video with a great screen and a great battery = Mi Note 10
Gaming and overall performance speed, 5G data speed = K30

Anyone interested about this? I chose the mi4c simply for the snapdragon and i was very tempted by the fingerprint scanner.
Whats your opinion, would you chose this over the mi4c?
well, the cons compared to mi4c: 1. 5.0 lollipop vs 5.1 llp on mi4c 2. many people still prefer 5" devices and the mi4c is a lot smaller and lighter 3. mi4c supports proper fast charging with variable voltage 4. mi4c screen has superior contrast (1700:1 vs 950:1 on the redmi note 3 pro). pros compared to mi4c: 1. more screen real estate 2. better build quality, more of a looker, too 3. fingerprint sensor 4. better battery backup, although it should charge real slow 5. s650 is more or less on the same level of performance with the s808 (maybe a 5% difference in favor of the 650) 6. i still don't know about the camera, mi4c has a 1/3" 13mp, wide angle, f/2.0 sony imx258 sensor with phase detection af vs redmi note 3 pro with a 16mp f/2.0 pdaf, but we still don't know if it's a. a samsung isocell s5k2pxx 1/2.6" sensor (like the one on the s5) b. a sony imx234 1/2.6" (g4 etc) c. a sony imx298 1/2.8" (mate 8 etc) so it should perform either equally or better compared to mi4c 7. it's going to be cheaper than the mi4c !
i would buy the one with unlocked bootloader....
offtopic but may i ask why is there no thread section about redmi note 3 here in xda?

Seems like a nice phone, but the SoC is a littel outdated if you ask me, and the size of the phone is too big...
But for the price, it seems like a very good buy!

Outdated SoC? Snapdragon 650 isn't even in any phone you can buy right now (as far as I know) and yet it's outdated?

Sorry, I read it as SD 615.
It still is a good phone, even better now . No doubt. The screen is just too big for me.
I hate it. The SoC is better (BIG cluster uses A72 instead of A57), the GPU is better (proven by higher AnTuTu score), the rear camera resolution is bigger, the battery is bigger, the screen is bigger, full metal unibody, yet cheaper price. Damn you, xiaomi...
I got my Note 5 yesterday (Global Version) and it will replace my Redmi 5 Plus. However, I anticipated that the performance and speed would (e.g. opening apps) be much better on Note 5, however, I only feel a small difference.
Im currently using global 8.5.11 Beta. Are the china roms any faster?
Even in comparision with a Mi Mix 2s - the performance is slighly noticeable.
MIUI's system performing well on every Xiaomi devices and there are mostly no differencies depending on your hardware.
I was wondering whether to get the Pro or Plus version but I feel the difference is small, it is a bit faster maybe but not so noticeable and what about the camera? How much better is the camera in Pro vs Plus? Also big thing is Plus has soooo much more rom support than Pro. They came out around same time,I don't know how long it will take for Pro to reach same amount of roms and I don't feel like the wait is so worth it.

I have used both Mi Mix 1, Mi Mix 2 och Mi 5s Plus. All of these phones felt noticeably faster in comparison. Perhaps because of the faster memory or more optimized software.
Antutu Scores
I have both the Redmi 5 Plus (Global Stable 9.5.11.0 NEGMIFA) 625 SOC and the Redmi Note 5 AI China (Global Stable 9.5.11.0 OEIMIFA)636 SOC
The Antutu Scores are as follows:
Redmi 5 Plus (Global Stable 9.5.11.0 NEGMIFA) 77072 (CPU 38783, GPU 12693, UX 20377 and MEM 5219)
Redmi Note 5 AI (Global Stable 9.5.11.0 OEIMIFA 115507 (CPU 56020, GPU 20883, UX 32192 and MEM 6412)
I valso have a NOKIA 7 Plus which scores as follows, just to give a comparision.
141134 (CPU 64832, GPU 29994, UX 39242 and MEM 7066)660 SOC
In 2018 many new budget oriented smartphones were launched but lets see who is the real smartphone king. many big companies have are launching their budget smartphones but only few of them have actually proved themselves as mightiest.
in today's discussion i am going to say which smartphone has really good at it's price point.
I will list down top 3 budget smartphones (i.e upto 15,000 ruppes)
1. REDMI NOTE 5 PRO
The real beast still remains the redmi note 5 pro since it gives true value for money.
the phone feature's latest qualcomm snapdragon 636 octacore processor, 4GB ram and has dual rear facing camera i.e 12MP + 5MP dual camera
Sony primary sensor, 1.25μm pixels and 20MP front facing camera with led flash light and face unlock . Though the rear facing camera look's like iphone x but still result's pretty good. it also has 6 inch FHD+ display with new 18:9 aspect ratio and comes with massive 4000mah battery capacity.
however the smartphone higher GB varient i.e for 6GB ram, the pricing is still high.
2.ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1.
The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is just like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but includes stock Android. The same hardware that makes the Xiaomi phone on the best performers at that price, is also there on the Zenfone Max Pro M1(i.e snapdragon 636 octacore processors) .But the flavour is stock Android 8.1 Oreo. Apart from that you get a sturdy build quality and decent 16-megapixel dual cameras at the back. Easily one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
3.OPPO REALME 1.
this year oppo is launching quite unique and attractive products.This year now oppo has has launched it's new brand realme and it's one of the product realme 1 is one othe best smartphone of 2018
The Realme 1 is a new entrant in the mid-range market and it hopes to topple the best by offering a maxed-out spec sheet which includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage and Mediatek helio p60 processor which is even good than qualcomm snapdragon 636 processors. But because of missing fingerprint scanner and dual rear camera setup,i have placed it in 3rd position.But all that firepower surely makes the Realme 1 one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
Hello. Im thinking to trade my mi mix 2s with galaxy note 8. Is that good? Anyone using note 8 give some oppinion. Thanks.
Why buy the Note 8 ?
- Better screen (Super AMOLED, 2K etc...)
- More stable software
- Better sound from speakers
Why keep the Mi Mix 2S ?
- More powerful (Snapdragon 845, UFS 2.1, DDR4X 6GB RAM)
- Faster updates, I'm already using Android P global closed beta with MIUI.
- More updates (MIUI flagships are updated at least 5 years)
- Better camera
- A lot more features, MIUI is the best OS for features.
That's a downgrade, do you know it right? Mix 2S > Note8 in camera and performance at all
We won't discuss about design.
Note 8
- Better display
- S Pen
- Better front-facing camera
- micro SD card slot
- IP68
- Better stereo speakers
- Headphone jack
Mi Mix 2S
- More powerful
- Faster and no lags whatsoever
- Better battery life
- Faster updates
- Smaller and better design
- Slightly better rear camera with daylight
- Modding without making your warranty void
It depends on what you consider important.
You could also wait for the Mi Mix 3 and then make a decision.

The Note 8 doesn't have stereo speakers...
But it's the best comparison.
Sure better speaker on Mix 2s! It's also feels much faster with MIUI 10, almost stock Android.
Thank for opinion friends. Decide to keep my mix for lcd display. Dont like much the amoled.
Hello fellas I'm really pondering about purchasing the Poco x3 pro. I'm currently a proud and happy user of a galaxy note 9. I bought it in 2019 when it wasn't Samsung's flagship anymore, but my good old one plus 3 was giving me bad battery life so I went for a note 9 because at the time it had everything I wanted (high end processor, big screen without notch, headphone jack, good cameras) and the price was right after one year of its release.
Right now my note 9 is still in good condition, even the battery is still at 85% of its capacity, but I'm thinking about the future. Probably this year the battery will degrade more and the poco is at an amazing price and it can carry me on for the next few years given that the hardware is newer than the n9.
So what do you think I should do? What would you do if you were me?
I'm concerned about the x3 pro cameras if they are am upgrade or a downgrade and maybe it's longevity.
And of course the screen is going to be a downgrade from de note 9 amoled display, but in the long run although amoled displays look amazing I'm always worried about the degradation and screen burn in, so I would be less concerned about using black wallpapers and using brightness with care.
Reasons to consider the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro:
Higher display refresh rate – 120 Hz
Comes with 1160 mAh larger battery capacity: 5160 vs 4000 mAh
Shows 15% longer battery life (112 vs 97 hours)
42% better performance in AnTuTu Benchmark (485K versus 341K)
The phone is 2-years and 7-months newer
Has an ultra-wide angle camera lens
More recent OS version: Android 11 versus 10
Has a built-in infrared port
Reasons to consider the Samsung Galaxy Note 9:
The rear camera has a 2x optical zoom
30% higher pixel density (514 vs 395 PPI)
Supports Qi/PMA wireless charging up to 15W
Optical image stabilization
Waterproof body (IP68 classification)
Delivers 23% higher maximum brightness (660 against 537 nits)
Super AMOLED display (versus competitor's IPS LCD)
Supports Dolby Atmos sound technology
The front-facing camera can record video at 1440p
I don't think it's would be an upgrade! it's just an moving
I think it's better to go for Poco F3 that's would be upgrade.
F3. But cameras would be a downgrade just of that ois and 2x
If headphone jack (and microSD like for me) are of high importance the choices are not wide. Most premium models ditch those features. However I would not consider PX3P an upgrade if not any of the reasons listed by @Abdullah.Csit are of primary importance. PX3P is a cheap SoC power house, but the cameras are average but nothing more. Redmi Note 10 Pro is viceversa: good camera (and Amoled) but slow processor.
The X3 Pro will be a dowgrade, don't do it.
just buy a new battery...
