The Poco you saw is like 500 bucks, with the same specs as a $1200 one
It’s about time to get another phone, Yea Forums

Gaming phones are a meme unless you plan to emulate handheld console games. Buy a phone with 8Go RAM and you should be able to play basically anything.

i bought an s22ultra because it comes with a funny pen for me to draw with and i really enjoy it. even if i do most of my artwork on my ipad and i would never use this thing for comms it's still very fun and a neat little feature. every game i've played is super smooth on it and i've had zero emulation issues.
it's just up to preference. there's no reason for you to do anything. there's no reason for you to buy an expensive meal, it'll just be a log of shit in the morning anyway.
i use my phone a lot and i want something powerful, like a little computer in my pocket that can handle a lot of tasks at once. if you don't use your phone a lot just buy a flip phone or something. it's literally just preference.

nigger a 4 year old iphone can emulate everything at full speed and wont repel every pussy in a 5 mile radius. gayming phones are a meme

I owned a poco F1 and now a redmi 10T pro so yeah I know about the 'flagship killer' tier, but I'm genuinely wondering what these 'flagships' even have to offer because when I bought my current phone it was advertised as having basically the same specs but cheaper materials and to me it's unreal that having a more expensive casing makes up for an 800 eu difference.

Wrong. I have an iPhone 8 and it can’t emulate GameCube.
Unless you’re okay playing at 16fps.

I know this, I'm not even trying to be snarky I'm just out of the loop in regards to phones and want to know what the core features are that get people hyped for the latest, newest model because 'power' seems to be pretty normalized at this point

OP here, basically I just narrowed my options down to that one because it had everything I wanted.
>Big ass OLED screen
>Decent battery life
>Snapdragon for custom roms
>Glass back + aluminum frame
>Sub $600
Don’t care much about cameras but I guess it will be enough, the only thing that would’ve made it better would be expandable storage.

Ha-ha. No, for 1200 you will get 2x faster chipset and 10x better screen/sound. Also 500 price is already in Steam Deck range. Cheap phone with a huge screen is the best for old (up to gen 5) emu.

not everyone bought a smartphone at the same time, therefore there will always be one person excited for a new product at any given point because everyone has an outdated piece of tech at some point. i buy a new phone every 2 years or so, give or take a few months. my last phone was an s10+ and the s22u was a huge leap over it.
power for the most point has plateaued but there's some incremental progress. this is the case for a lot of computing products in general because we progressed very fast but now things are slowing because we're kind of at our current limit.
cameras are usually the biggest feature for people next to the display, with speed just being a "it's faster we promise" type situation. for me it's display, OS and processing power that matter most, so my new phone was a natural given (plus the wacky stylus addition because it's not attached to a phone-tablet hybrid anymore and because i love drawing)
just buy a chinkphone. huawei makes fine stuff for the most part.
the only phones you should avoid are pixels and iphones.
