OnePlus 13s at 6.32in screen. Can find 12gb ram 512fb storage from around $600 or below during discount.

Was looking at redmi note 15 5g at 321 but seems after they launch redmi note 17 powerbank edition, note 15 5g all oos liao..

Then m8 5g is like 300 like nt rly worth it

Any affordable phone to recommend smaller than 6.77? Mum wan small phone

6.3" majority are flagship with flagship price lol

Sharp Sense10 and Sony Xperia 10 VII are 6.1-6.2" midranger, but their spec to price ratio abit bohua

Pixel 10a 6.3", Singapore's Pixel always overpriced but today seemingly have a $500+ special price

No 6.3" but:
Poco F9 Pro 6.59"
$599 today with the $50 shop voucher and 20% off 9.9 shopee voucher
Not a light phone however

X8 Pro wasn't bad, launched at $348
X7 Pro launched at $369 iirc

Of cos it never reach the $242 of X7 Pro 11.11.2025
But X8 Pro lowest was $28X (forgot which month) which is also not bad all things considered

Prices early this year were very manageable even though the ram shortage was known last year, i guess every phone makers were still dragging their feet for some unknown reason. This recent last months then suddenly panick

I am using Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.302.0 on my Poco X7 Pro and it does not have this new "feature" yet. It has Android Security update of 2026-08-01.

Hmm, yes I can see what your see for swiping from "Top Left" and "Top Right". But no matter where I swipe from the top middle of the phone, I cannot see the "Search" page.

Top Left - Notifications
Top Middle - Control Centre
Top Right - Control Centre

Same phone and same OS version as yours.

Home Screen settings.
Home Screen: With App Drawer
-1 Screen: Google Discover
Home screen search: Compact search
Swipe down on the Home screen: App Finder
System navigation: Buttons (okay, I am old school here, 50+ years old).

I suspect might be the HOS. What's your full HOS version? Mines - 3.0.302.0 WOJMIXM.C07

My Home Screen Settings are the same as "Gestures" for system navigation.

 

[CanberraRamenFloor]

My os is 3.0.302.0



I always swipe from bottom/anywhere to get the notifications drawer down. Now it summons that stupid search drawer
