Most of the mobile phone reviewers in YouTube or anywhere else in the world, suggest a good value for money phone in any price bracket under 35k₹. But I hardly find those so called “value for money” phones good enough for me.
I am a full time software professional. My demands from a smartphone aren’t that huge. I need to be able to make calls, use mobile hotspot, play mild games for distraction, use gps while travelling, browse through instant messages in WhatsApp, view social graphical content from fb, YouTube, Twitter, occasionally photography and very occasional intensive gameplay. I wonder why the so called “value phones” or “flagship killers” or “killers’ murderers” devices fail to do that.
Don’t we deserve it? And there’s no point in exaggerating a mediocre device and misleading the general public into buying a cheap gadget, which ultimately fails us in some ways.
I have some real life experiences with some Chinese phones, of course value phones, the first one is a redmi 4, whose display cracked the first week of its purchase, the other one was a mi a1, which although beautified my photos, absolutely failed me while travelling to my new office location, by providing wrong/inaccurate gps locations.
And I read a lot of reviews about oneplus 6, poco f1 that they are having build quality issues and screen quality issues.
I think, these new manufacturers should release a set of known bugs to the customers so that the customer can understand what they’re getting into.
What do you think?
