FE is mid range, not flagship.

 

[caterham7]

Another mid-range model range that supports type-c display output is sharp sense9 or sense10

Upper midranger bah, got more flagship features than missing them
-"Triple" cam
-LTPO screen
-Wireless charging
-Samsung Dex mode

Low ram so you're encouraged to sign up their premium AI feature rather than run on device AI

Ya... how was the GT2 Pro?

First flagship phone for me ..the snapdragon 8 G1 sucked battery like crazy but everything runs smooth. Camera with 3 lens was good for 4 years ago, wide angle was impressive then.

Support and updates were meh..that paper organic skin was interesting.

Have stayed on flagship cpu ever since

I had a Realme as well... Realme 9i... not bad a phone also...

Is it worth saving the price diff?

 

[8-lane]

Is it worth saving the price diff?

Wah the price diff is a lot... is the configuration the same? If so, just go for the Fusion One lor...

 

[Shadowz1984]

Are you comparing the 16gb, 512gb to 16gb, 512gb?

The price for the Fusion One seems to be the 16gb, 256gb version. 512gb version is another $100 more.

Oh my bad, yes u r right.

This is the 16/512gb price from Fusion

It's about $200 difference. It's a borderline case. The extra $200 for the local warranty is the main thing to see if you want to go for local set. I don't use eSIM, so no eSIM for china set is not an issue for me, but if you need eSIM, then have to go local set.

If not urgent to get the phone, I would suggest to wait till CNY period. Might have better deals.

I think the Fusion One set is global set...

 

[chari-men]

Probably flash rom from china set so the hardware don’t have eSIM..

 

[Shadowz1984]

Think probably china flashed sets. Oneplus 12 & 15 some far china flashed sets not much issue. Only Oneplus 13 have issues every now and then. So more are selling the 15 china flashed sets.
