I don't listen to music or watch videos on my phone but the 5G version comes with a 3.5 mm jack to USB C adaptor so you can still use heaphones but thanks for mentioning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny41 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 15 hours ago, YorkshireTyke said: Update: I didn't buy one on the 10th, after reading reviews on GSM Arena I decided the Snapdragon 732 on the BIG Note 10 Pro was too slow and the camera on the Poco X3 not good enough. So more research for a faster phone and better camera but still under 10k Baht but I thought I would wait for more models to be introduced. Today we had a monitor lizard down our small soi so I took photo/video of it but they are so poor it is indistinguishable so I desperately need to replace it. Apart from the fact the lens is scratched as I took the protective cover off, I've looked at the specs and although a dual camera it is 12 mp x 5 mp, and only 3 years old ! So revisited the thread and checked the M11 Lite 5G recommended by Fab5BKK. It's only Snapdragon 780G but in the GSM review was faster even than Poco's 860 and the camera is better than the Poco, 64 MP as opposed to 48 and has the 5 MP macro as recommended by Bruno. So can I get it for under 10K? I want the 8GB/128GB version ,I've dismissed a couple of cheap ones on Lazada with no seller ratings but Lazada has one for 10,999 Baht, they have 95% seller rating but one year warranty apparently.

I paid around 5600 3 years ago for my 4GB Redmi 6, I expected to pay more obviously but now to get the spec I want I'm looking at double ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireTyke Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Thanks Vinny I have only been looking at 8GB as if I am going to upgrade I would like to jump from 4-8 GB but I understand it's an extra 1k+ but over 3 years or so usage I think it's worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Mi Max 3 28 months ago 4GB + 64GB for 5,400 with a Snapdragon™ 636 speed wise i don't have an issue however I do feel the cameras have improved vastly over the past 2 years mi max 3 has 8 megapixel front camera and front camera 12 million pixels + 5 million pixels no macro camera so I can understand why your looking to double your spec against your current model. If I was buying a new phone today I would appreciate the 120Hz AMOLED display and the dolby atmos speakers and the better cameras would i use or noticed increase ram and faster processor not sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they did say that and it looks like it could even be true given the "gain of function research" revelations How ever if it came from the lab that was funded by America why haven't China fully exploited that ?
