I'm planning to get a Poco to replace my old Redmi Note 5 Pro. But can't decide which model to get. I have a budget of around 2K but need to save as much money as possible.

I basically need a phone that plays games like Genshin/emulators and a decent camera for content creation. I'm eyeing the Poco F6 Pro 1TB, but I heard the Redmi Turbo 4 is going to be rebranded as F7 soon.
The X7 Pro 512GB seems to have a good price tag, but not sure if worth the money.

Need help deciding which Poco phone has the best value, or help me recommend other phones besides Poco.

2k can get a decent Honor or Vivo

Poco is good and value for money when it comes to phones below 1k

2k budget you can expand your selection other than Poco here.
Maybe could get iPhone 14 during promo at this price also.

I think Oppo A3X is a value buy.
I do not spend more money to phone because the OS changes so fast.

Thank you again notworthy.gif

Actually at expected 1.5k poco f7 is feel like ifone pro maks on budget will be very worth unless you nickpicking la

Something to note:
1. 6500 battery (hope not 100% follow eu not have charger)
2. No true Aod (same like x7 pro, x6 pro, f5 etc)
3. Infrared remote blaster moved to flashlight location

So we don't get as much a good deal now. maybe I'll see later after a few months. Not in a rush anyway.
