      You have many many similar phones in asia the downside with many of them is that they degrade quickly. the performance get so bad within a few months its pretty much unusable and many fails by the internal storage failing and you will notice it by things getting corrupted in your gallery.
      You do however have alot of well known brand (vivo, samsung, oppo) that sell phones a with a lil higher price (around 170-250) which got dualsim, headphone jack and fast chargers. they simply dont release those versions in first world countries.
      And when they state the MP of the camera reality is that the censor is not getting bigger all it does is making a grainier picture what they usually do is slap a filter on which smoothens everything out and with higher end phones they use AI to try to remove the grain as much as possible "processing"

      What specs are those? Here are some few important things: ( *Hopefully few people read this as most people will not know what I'm talking except for tech nerds* )
      I will use my phone specs as the main support, I will add some other specs just for more clarity:
      What type of chipset will be good in the long run?
      Score that is close or more to 300,000 antutu benchmark.
      What type of camera sensor would be good and how much MP is too much MP?
      Recommended minimum MP are 8mp for wide
      Recommended moderate MP are 12mp for wide
      Recommended minimum for main: 12, 32, 48, 64
      Recommended moderate for main: 12 and 64
      Recommended for cheap zoom MP: ...
      Recommended for moderate zoom MP: 3x, 10x, 12mp, 16mp
      Those are three sets of camera, Main, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. The rest are useless 😂
      The selfie cams are the ff:
      Dual punch hole: 16 8mp, 32 8mp, 12 12mp,
      16 12mp, 32 12mp
      Single punch hole: 12mp, 16mp, 32mp
      Storage and ram?
      Minimum of 6/128
      Moderate of 8/128 or 256
      Maximum of 12/512 😂😂😂
      ( Trust me, people do buy the maximum with uhm bad chipset ( exynos ahem 800 someth- ) heat )
      What type of display tech and quality?
      1080 is the best, since it's been that way ever since.
      As for display tech, that depends on preferences.
      If you don't care about specs but A+ grade quality , then go for *AMOLED*
      If you don't care about amoled for it sacrifices specs and if it dosen't it cost double ,then go for *LCD* or other types of LCD
      Other stuff are: fingerprint scanner on the power button or screen ( id recommend power button since finger on screen can be a little hard with oily hands people )
      3.5mm Headphone jack
      Dual speakers or bottom firing speakers
      Haptic feedback
      Those microphone stuff to hear your voice
      Bands on phone... That's flagship phone
      Good OS ( personal preferences )
      Advance tech screen that eliminates oil
      Matte back or glass back
      Big screen
      Thinner bezels or thin
      Gorrila glass 3 5 6 or sandwich
      Dual punch hole or single or dewdrop

    If it is available in your area, opt for Redmi 9T over Poco M3 instead. It's basically the same phone, but the 9T is slightly better due to the fact that the top spec gives you 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and an extra camera for about the same price (RM700 in Malaysia) as the M3's 4GB + 128GB variant.

      @Sayan De i have the same phone right here, and i recommend you using the 64 megapixel mode on the main camera always when your trying to get an amazing result + adobe lightroom mobile and you can get crazy results. I promise, but when just casual picture that you want fast and look good already just straight up use GCAM.
      (The miui stock photo editor has also sick picture profiles, it's totally valid to use it & i can show you some results if you want to see some of em).

    I got the moto g power a bit ago and it has similar layout to the nuu phone. The speakers are better but there are somethings that suck on it. There are also some stuff that I love about it like the shake to turn on flashlight, I do that way more than I like to admit. But I also payed about 200 Canadian ruples so I'm very pleased with it. It can be slow at times but yeah, I'm very happy with my phone.

    video idea for the main channel: you guys come up with a useful scoring system and compare lots of differently priced phones to find the average price/performance sweetspot.
    i know it's a lot of work but it would scratch our itch for good tech we could also afford.

    As someone that bought a Pixel 4a (to replace a Huawei A30Lite, or something), this is kinda compelling. Cheap, reasonably speced.... I just hope it doesn't randomly close apps or stop background tasks like my Huawei did (main reason I switched).
