Looking to buy a new phone but lazy to do survey so here is the question. Which Xiaomi / POCO phone offer the best value camera & storage performance wise with RM800 price range ?? By the way I don't game with phone.

Thanks

well, as far as i can tell, any Xiaomi in price range of Rm700 - 1400 all uses the exact same 16mp camera(a quad bayer, 4mp), and personally, i don't like them. Their camera have oversharpening, i just never look right, like not how i really look in real life(and not in good way). So, i don''think you will find any selfie worthy, unless you already have that photogenic, korean ultra smooth face,, than, its perfect.

Still, i have checked lots of phone,, note 9/10 pro till recent Xiaomi Poco X4 GT, all uses the same 16mp aperture 2.5 camera. All gave same result.
(might have some lil exception for old models like poco x3 nfc, 20mp,, but,, still same pattern, just a bit more sharper.

As for UFS storage,, all redmi's above 750(poco m4 pro 5g cheapest) uses it. So, enjoy.
And if you don't game with it, all same,, chipset gpu usually uses Adreno 619. Maybe different cpu.

bro, what will u recommend if same price range but not Xiaomi or Poco?

Moto G82 - Rm950

But if you don't mind ads and selfie camera, note 10 pro 4g is cheaper,
or Poco X4 Pro is great.

used Poco F1

I'm currently using a POCO F3, performance is really good; but 2 major cons:

1) bloatware and ads; there are ways to remove them anyway, but it's so annoying.

2) phone camera is so bad; it basically blurs/blends pixels to make it look nice, once u zoom, it's really distorted even in sunlght conditions. It's not the lens issue, it's Xiaomi's processing.

Anyway, in that price range, u gotta pick between performance or camera quality, but for Xiaomi, the disparity between both is too obvious. Hopefully, you can find a better phone.

for 1, yeah but its what you get for going with a value phone, at least can disable em all
2... try Gcam modded, its basically the camera app from Google Pixel phones modded to work on other devices, so you get Google's great processing

Siapa necro thread?
Anyway, if your priority is camera I suggest buy used flagship like Pixel. Maybe can get Pixel 4 or 5 for less than 1k. Best camera hands down compared to other 1k phones. Really no competition, unless you buy the latest iPhone or Samsung or Pixel 7.
