Podcast: What's The Best Value, Poco F2 Pro VS Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro By Mitchell Millennial

Actually, this isn't just coffee, you might find this disgusting, but this is actually iced coffee and then coca-cola, zero or coke. Without sugar, it's called an alarm clock. I think it's got a ton of caffeine, one of the hardest smartphone buying decisions that I could possibly make, but it was a decision that I had to make uh two weeks ago for a friend of mine when he came to me so that his budget was a little more than 500. He wanted a new phone. He is not a smartphone enthusiast. Furthermore, he is not a tech head.

Furthermore, he is not a previous Xiaomi owner and his request was. I want the best phone that can offer me the most features and the best camera around five hundred dollars here in Vietnam. Should I buy a Xiaomi phone? What should I get? Um? Obviously, in my opinion, Xiaomi is offering some better budget phones on the market right now, realm has some compelling purchases, but specifically here in Vietnam, there's a lot of support for Xiaomi in regard to repair cases accessories things like that, whereas getting something like the Realme x7 pro with the uh MediaTek chipset, wouldn't have had as many options for cases screen protectors things like that, so it was pretty clear Xiaomi I can find the accessories. I can find the stuff for him that I need, but then having to decide in regard to a feature set between what features with the average. Like the average consumer want um.

It was one of the harder decisions I've had to make now we're just gonna, go ahead and kind of break down the future for feature set thing if you guys are unfamiliar with the way that I do podcasts on this channel. The is basically the podcast. I release it as the audio version before, if you guys are subscribed to listen to it for any of your favorite podcast, apps or google podcasts. You guys will hear this before everyone else. Does- and I basically pontificate and talk about things like this, so first thing is the screen.

Now for the average consumer, I would say that the 144 hertz display isn't that big of a deal, whereas the higher brightness on the Redmi k30 pro Poco f2 pro would make it a better option for most people. So on the screen front for the average consumer, you get the brighter display, it's AMOLED, and it seems a little more punchy, vibrant and premium next up would was the performance. Now the performance for both of these devices is the same UFS 3.1, storage, uh. If you buy the Poco f2 pro 8 256, which is what he was looking for photos and video both of the devices are going to have UFS 3.1 and LP ddr5 storage, but the Poco f2 pro in the base.6 128 does not have UFS 3.1, it's got UFS 3.0. Does that make a difference in the real world? No, but performance wise.

These devices are basically the same uh. The next one was the fingerprint scanner because for the average consumer they more often than not don't care so much about the in-display fingerprint scanner and the reliability of having the actual fingerprint scanner on the side is the more important option, also to kind of wrap in with that it's going to make the device seem more. It's going to make the device seem faster and more responsive to have that fingerprint scanner where you know where it is so, based on that kind of performance alone. I thought that the 10 t-pro might have a leg up on the Poco f2 pro next up was design and build quality. Both of these devices have flat displays um.

One of them has the pop-up camera and for the average consumer. I actually think that the whole punch is maybe a little better unless you're someone who is dedicated to not taking selfies, and you're never going to use the pop-up mechanism. A lot of consumers don't want to think about moving parts. If they go to the beach. Do I have to worry about sand getting in this pop-up mechanism, so the uh hole punch display is a little more durable in regard to design coffee break? Actually, this isn't just coffee.

You might find this disgusting, but this is actually iced coffee and then coca-cola, zero or coke. Without sugar, it's called an alarm clock. I think it's got a ton of caffeine. The area, though that for me, was the most compelling more than battery life, because both of these devices are going to have almost identical battery life um. Maybe the Poco f2 pro all on dark mode.60 hertz display is gonna, get slightly better performance um, and he is not a 144 hertz lover. He doesn't care about high refresh rate.

The average consumer at this point doesn't care about high refresh rate shh. Don't tell anyone um, it was the camera now for him, he doesn't have a dedicated camera. He doesn't have a DSLR, he doesn't have a point-and-shoot, his phone is his main camera and what device has the better camera? Well, unless you're buying the Redmi k30 pro zoom, which has a weird hodgepodge of cameras? What comes in at a higher price tag? The Xiaomi me 10 t pro has the better camera system. It's got the better stabilization for video, because it's got optical image. Stabilization.

It's got better low light photo performance. If you look at my previous tests on it and overall in dark conditions, the Redmi k30 pro suffers from not having is, whereas this device has a larger sensor, bigger lens, plus optical image. Stabilization means that you are more often than not getting excellent low light photos and for him the low light photography and just the ability to pull out the camera stamp. The picture functionality was a huge benefit to him and I think that for a lot of smartphone buyers, unless you have to have the AMOLED display, unless you have to have the wireless charging or the uh in-display fingerprint scanner, I think the 10t pro is kind of like just the better choice for more people. Right um, it's going to come in at almost the same price as the Poco f2 pro.

It's got the better camera. It's got a more reliable fingerprint scanner, and it's got basically the same footprint. Furthermore, it's like no bigger than the k30 pro it doesn't have. The moving parts which argue whether the moving parts is a good or bad thing. I've had two cam or two phones with pop-up cameras, both my Redmi k20 pro the Xiaomi mi 10t pro and my k30 pro Poco f2 pro.

When I tapped the back of the device, I had a rattle and I bought a friend a Redmi k20 pro for his girlfriend and his girlfriend's k20 pro also had the pop-up camera rattle, and I don't know if it's Xiaomi build quality. I don't know if it's Xiaomi design, but having someone buy a phone and then tapping on it and then hearing a rattle is just it's just, not a sacrifice that I think a lot of people want to make when they're spending a lot of money on a brand-new phone to have the uninterrupted display. So it's really, really difficult for me to promote someone by a phone. That's got a worse camera and a more delicate easier to break design for an AMOLED display, because if we just look at both of these devices on paper, you're getting AMOLED, and you're getting higher, and you're, and that's it right, like you're, the k30 pro doesn't have the higher refresh rate, and on top of that, if you're not going to be using the Poco f2 pro at 100 or uh, the Xiaomi mi 10 t-pro at 144 hertz, then you are going to get slightly better battery life on the Xiaomi me 10 t pro than you would the Poco f2 pro on the flip side of that. If you're someone that's going to be using your phone outdoors constantly, I would tell you to get the Poco f2 pro outdoors means that you have plenty of sun.

So necessarily the optical image. Stabilization for low light doesn't matter as much, but more than that, the display of the Poco f2 pro is really really really bright, and it is really, really easy to see outdoors under direct sunlight uh. My friend was getting to use his me 10 t pro, and I'll insert a little clip, I'm doing a whole video that I shot on this device doing a motorcycle trip, and we're going to talk about that experience at a later date subscribe. If you guys want to get that, but he had his me10t pro in a fold holder on his motorbike for most of the trip, and he never complained about the display not being bright enough but many times. I would pull up next to him on our road trip.

I would look over at his phone. He had the display on it was set to auto brightness and the display on my me 10 was like just significantly brighter. It was just significantly brighter significantly easier to read in direct sunlight, and it's not to say that the 10 t pro has a dim display or a low quality display. It's just that the AMOLED displays get to a higher max peak brightness and, if you're, using the phone outdoors all day that is going to matter to you. That said, I think that for my friend and for most people, the better camera is the more important feature than the extra brightness with the display and both of the devices have the same 33 watt charging both of them take under an hour or right around an hour to charge to 100, and by and large the differences between these two devices come down to very, very small and minute things along with availability in your area, because if you are looking to import any or all of these devices nine times out of ten, I would say that the Xiaomi mi 10 is a better device just because you don't have to choose between the high refresh rate or the high brightness and the better camera um or for people that really want that uninterrupted display.

I think the Redmi k30 pro zoom was like Xiaomi's possible sleeper phone of the year, because it's got a set of features that to me would make the device perfect. I mean for a user like myself, I think that the k30 pro zoom there isn't anything on that device that I would want it to have that it doesn't have. Furthermore, I don't care about the high refresh rate I care about the brightness. It's got the flat display. I don't care about the pop hole versus the pop-up versus punctual.

I don't take a lot of selfies um and the battery life, for it is, is essentially going to be the same. So as we're getting to the end of 2020 heading into 2021, I'm having to think about my smartphone of the year or my Xiaomi smartphone of the year award and this year it's harder than ever last year I was able to give the nomination to the Xiaomi me note, 10 pro and honestly, I'm kind of waiting for the Xiaomi me note 11 pro this year, because I think that the combination of the mid-tier soc flagship camera AMOLED, display flagship, build quality. Big battery is like the optimum set of compromises for the majority of users and without a device like that. That gives you all of those things we're left at devices that kind of fill some desires for some users, but not desires for up for other average consumers, whereas last year the note 10 pro was just performance: that's good enough for everyone flagship camera that everyone's going to want to use great AMOLED display that gets bright outdoors and two days of battery life. So if you guys are waiting for my smartphone of the year award or my Xiaomi smartphone of the year award well howdy, this video is done, go ahead and click or tap on this video over here to watch a video about smartphone cameras, click or tap this video down here to watch a video about headphones.

I'm still waiting, you really haven't clicked it! Yet what the hell.
