agree with one of the earlier comments ...
Xiaomi / Poco seems to have opened the willingness in me , or most ppl venturing and trying out china tech phones...
For me I started opening up my opinions and once biased views on china tech phones, starting from Poco and Redmi (used both concurrently one for personal & work) Poco F2 pro and Remi Note 9.
Whilst not flagship level but it did showcase how capable they can be , and also the hardware / software / price value.
Have since moved on to Vivo X50 pro , even more impressive with its camera stabilisation , using mini gimbal technology, great for taking vlogs , and great night shots.
And now i'm considering the vivo x60 pro+ , but still holding up to see what next few months bring... Oneplus 9 pro , mi11 pro/ultra, etc.
oh and did i mention the fantastic charging rates and batt capacity for these chinese tech phones. Much much much more satisfying than the Korean and US brand phones out there now.
not so concerned about battery life durability, charging tech software optimisation (cutoff / trickle slow charge when approaching full), and manufacturing improvements (new Li-Po tech , etc), VOOC & flash charging tech where most heat isolated at the charging head rather than all at the battery itself, etc ... so much more
im not pro chinese or CCP , I'm just one that enjoys all tech improvements and eager to try out new hardware and appreciate tech advancements pushing out every year
