I'll repeat myself. This phone is bad. The Zenfone 6 is better in everything except the display, and is also cheaper.
[deleted post]Ok buddy. OneUI, although has some neat features, is still filled with bloatware, even if it was reduced. The Asus, has none. The new Zenfone 6. It's 200 EUR less, or around that in other currencies, Specs area HEAPS better, other than the screen, in which the LCD is better for longevity. It also has top-of-the-line battery life that the Galaxy A80 completely missed out. The camera is also very much better, and selfies doesn't have the same issues as this one. As much as you could defend it, there's not really a lot to defend about. Like, a midranger not having a jack or a sd card slot, while it's competitor, the Zenfone, has all of these, while only sacrificing on the screen, and is cheaper. Not to mention that the Asus will go down in price as well, and the Redmi K20 Pro or the Poco F2 will always be an alternative of the same thing, and costs much less.
My opinion is that, this autofocus issue can be handled with a software upgrade... BUT only if Samsung wants to, which I doubt a bit.
But what can they do about the battery life? Will they actually decide to improve it by a margin?
S10 gives 79 hours on a 3400 Mah, and here we have 3700 Mah giving similar life on a less performing device!
As with Samsung, its always better to get an old flagship than a new midranger... hence proved. Even in camera, audio quality, battery, features, etc.
I bet S7/ S8+ owners must be laughing at this review... :D At least I would.
Anyhow,
GSMArena Staff, Please post the Redmi Note 7 Pro complete review.... Its high time! :)

Why is the A series a cash grab? My s8+ with higher performing SoC lasts longer with a 3500mah battery?!

"However, space was obviously at a premium as essentials have been scrapped - there's no headphone jack, and there's no microSD slot either. Boo."
You said it well for the lack of the essentials at this kinda price$$!! Look at Zenfone 6 (albeit IPS display) with almost same camera motorized tech YET keeping the essentials which EVERYONE NEEDS & CHEAPER in price overall.
"The Samsung Galaxy A80 does not come with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter in the retail package, which meant there was no way for us to perform our audio quality test. We tried using a couple of passive adapters we had lying around, but the phone didn't work with either of them, suggesting that it might need an active one to work."
I will say this ONCE again. USB-C to 3.5mm adapters are mostly proprietary which differs in quality (passive / active) from brand to brand. 3.5mm jack is simply a MUST for the price Galaxy A80 offers.
"Performing a test with an active adapter wouldn't make sense though, as each of those has a different DAC and any results we obtain won't be representative for the actual output of the phone."
Same explanation as above.
287108First of all, great and honest review GSMArena!!
Listen to the Samsung fanboys here trying to defend this abomination.
Seriously, limiting the selfie camera? When the hardware is right there? Even Apple does not do this. They omit, but what they have is utilized to its full potential. BTW, photos don't compare to Zenfone 6 i.e. Zenfone is much much better.
I am happy that Samsung is not carrying this ideology to its flagship S-Series and Note series phones.
I am also very happy that the Samsung fanboys needlessly bashing GSMArena for an honest review are few in number and rather poor, so once this device fails to hit the sales required, Samsung will definitely come up with improvements to the second iteration of this device!
Cheers!

I thought Samsung already learned from their past mistakes. Boy I was wrong. This phone will be a tough sell just as GSM Arena mentioned. Boo

I stopped reading the review at "no headphone jack". I already own a Pixel 2 for the last 18 months and I just can't handle the hassles of adapters (already lost one and the replacement cost a lot). Or the hassels of charging bluetooth headsets - was really annoyed when battery ran out mid-flight countless times. I hope consumers are able to send a message to manufacturers not to fix what ain't broke (and stop the greed). Asus Zenfone 6 it is for me.

When you compare the images, it's definitely better than the zenfone 6, iphone xs, mi9 and even a s10. What's wrong with the review? Also i doubt whether it's a sony sensor, not isocell?

[deleted post]Because processor choice and pricing is the main reason for them to give low rating, despite how good the phone is.
