Hi all, wanted some advice, am looking to buy a new phone for mom and am looking at the following
Redmi note 10 pro
Redmi note 10s
Poco m5
Poco m5s

currently seem like m5 is the cheapest and antutu benchmark score seems highest but the others are amoled though am not sure if she really need that. Any suggestions on which would be best?
TIA

Having an Amoled screen is not a must for many but it's always better (for anyone) to have it since with an Amoled screen, u will have brighter picture and higher contrast if I'm not wrong...

usage requirements? e.g. what will your mom use the phone for?

also, what is your budget?

i have the poco m5, is ok if manage expectations

If you must have TG, i think taobao only or ali. Sg ex.

Ok... let me try Aliexpress... Taobao is too challenging for me...

EDIT: Aliexpress same same... no selfie camera cutout... how to use the camera huh? Sure got lots of internal reflections and the photos will come out with a hazy look... maybe I buy TPU instead lar... haha...

I was thinking below $250.

I guess she will use it for YouTube, WhatsApp and maybe read some news and banking apps example trust app

What expectations will have to be managed with the poco m5?

Yes poco m5 should be fine for those

Manage expectations, as in expect performance of a budget phone. Should be ok if user hasn't used flagship devices

Can't decide if note10 pro better or m5 better. Anyone used both before?

Cos all don't have front camera cutout plus some reviews (not many though) indicate wrong sizes... although very cheap, not sure if I should proceed... maybe just buy TPU type... can cut the front hole my self if needed...

Thanks bro!

Agree... if you've always used AMOLED screens like me then you'll feel the difference...

Can also consider poco m5 or m5s, newer models, so launched with android 12
$189 and $209 during promo
Also have nfc if that is needed

so the equivalent model RMN10S does not have NFC whereas the M5S does have NFC?
