if not really into gaming a $200 range xiaomi like note 5, A2 lite is good enough
not everyone need the 845 speed. can save the money for another phone.

If u compare price of note 6, then pocophone is more worth it with the higher spec.

The higher spec will last u quite sometime, just that pocophone has app drawer which is different from Xiaomi phone.

the biggest issue with modern phone is the built in batt
one problem of investing more money into a higher end phone is if the batt having issue after sometime, there alot of headaches.
for a cheaper phone, can just go buy buy another new one to replace.

Pocophone not cheap enough? Lol

Depends on individual circumstances.
Poco is not cheap enough to me. Need to be below $200 to be considered cheap.

Cheap? Depending on user.
The price of 1 poco can get a note 5 and a A2 lite.
If not into gaming, don't see why a need to go for flagship 845.
And people with budget and willing to spend will rather go for high end flagship like note 9 than poco.

I also seldom gaming. But the upgrade from note 5 to pocophone Is not only abt 845 only. U get faster ufs2.1 storage 250mb/s vs 750mb/s, much faster wifi chip, faster LTE speed, faster GPS.. USB C port, USB 3.0 charger.

But if budget constraint only 200plus note 5 no other phone can fight liaoz. But if note 6 pro is 300plus then can consider pocophone 36x to 38x can get. Export set think 34x only.

The upgrading of spec don't really make big impact for common users that using their phones to surf net, watch video, fb, WhatsApp.
Did tried few times of Poco at xiaomi store.
Yes the poco phone is fast, very responsive but for most people a phone like note 5 is good enough.
A Export set note 5 can get around $200. If Any thing happen to the phone lost, drop, crack, damage won't feel that pain too.
Poco export set where get so cheap? 34x 36x? I check all above 400.

I need to use 2 sim card, hence both the sim slot is impt to me.

Will need the phone to be at least 128GB internal storage so I don't have to use micro sd card.

Seem that pocophone is the best option?

Can consider using thumbdrive or cloud storage and transfer videos and photos there. I take a lot of photos and videos but I don't regularly refer back to them. So for me no point keeping much photos & videos in phone.

Can use sim card extension or something so can have 2 sim and sdcard simultaneously.

Would prefer a phone with bigger storage. If redmi note 5, 128gb is it not worth already?

Up to you lor.
I normally won't spend on phone with high storage, in case phone dies for whatever reason or phone lost. I prefer external storage.
