I'm in a bit of a quandary... so need some advice from your guys... my budget is $250 or less... want to buy a phone as a gift... but what should a buy? Must be 6/128 model... preferably have AMOLED 90 Hz screen... but not essential...

1. Redmi Note 11 (bought previously for $218 in March 2022 for 4/128)
2. Redmi Note 10 Pro (2 years old already?)
3. Poco M4 5G (seems pretty pricey?)
4. Poco X4 Pro (out of range? But some reported buying for $252 during flash sale)

Any idea if 11.11 will yield something beyond by budget now due to the flash sales? That would be really nice...

Any advice?

No idea with 3 & 4.
I did a comparison between note 10 pro & note 11. Seems like note 10 Pro win hands down so I bought note 10 Pro yesterday. Both definitely within your budget. Haha

Thanks... the Qoo10 deal looks good... but I can't seem to use the $50 daily coupon anymore... maybe ran out for today already... the Note10S on Shopee Xiaomi Global Store is still $299?

Yeah... thanks for checking... I just bit the bullet and bought one... $265 listed price... used the Daily $50 coupon and brought it down to $215 but must pay $3.99 shipping... long time never buy from Qoo10 so didn't think of checking... thanks for heads up! Plus ' ever buy from UP System before... they're good... bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" 2019 from them for a much lower price than retail... still going strong now...

good deal but i think the phone too old reaching 2yr old soon , not much runway left in terms of software update
okay for $200 budget people who want loud stereo speakers with big oled screen on 1080p

anyone flashed Note10pro to custom ROM pixel OS Android 12L, Linux 4.14.290, release date 12Aug2022 ?
Does DBS bank software works ? ->
Custom Rom might have some back doors steal banks money use at your own risk.
Does McDonald App works ?
Which app does not work ?

Can add Google Camera with 4K Electronic Image Stabilisation
Can add Miui Dolby Atmos support

Oh, just want to ask which vendor to buy tempered glass from on Shopee... so many, and prices all the same... looked into a few sellers but almost all have reviews saying the tempered glass doesn't fit the screen exactly and there's no front camera cut-out... if anyone got a reliable source, please let me know... thanks!

EDIT: only want the fully transparent type without the black or white edge borders...

No screen protector on my new set, screen is corning gorilla glass 5

Korean sets unable to turn off camera sounds with Miui Rom.
Can flash custom ROM from XDA then no more camera sound.

Oh really? Must be some privacy laws to prevent perverts from taking upskirt photos or voyeuristic videos...

Yeah like the Gorilla Glass 5... best grade...
