Exactly! So that's where the case of preference comes down to. I have a PS4 doesn't mean I can't have a good phone, even if they can't compare in gaming. Just because my S23 Ultra cannot run Farcry, I'll sell it to buy Nokia 1.

its more of affordability than preference

It's quite painful sha, imagine surfing playstore, only to be flooded with numerous generic 3D pay-to-play games with bad graphics and storytelling. Sigh.

I don't quite get this reply of yours. If reverse charging is a feature one cannot substitute, why is only 10% of the phones in the market using it?
USB 4.0 that is not to be substituted, why is it only 5% of the mobile market utilising it?
Even IP certificates, no be every phone get am, but e no mean say person no go substitute for feature wey dey more useful too am.
Cutting corners is very common now, and you should be aware of that in 2023. A phone can't have everything, so we're forced to substitute things we need for things we don't.
It's simple.

baba I've tire abeg, tell me which flagship are cutting corner's

The one that if you want reverse charging, go for the latest Doogee phones with over 10k mAh battery and rugged build? It's a fact, now? Abi, you wan use 5k mAh Poco f5 charge your 5k mAh Spark 10 Pro?

all these are features and specs that plays a deciding factor on the price of a phone so don't substitute any because you phone don't have it

And as for the 8k video recording? Let me ask this simple question: “how many people you know wey dey use phones that record at 4k/30FPS”?

my goodness! Stop saying this, A phone is a nice balance of a cell phone, a camera and a multimedia device.
You can't compare any phone camera to a DSLR
You can't compare any phone to a ps4
You can't compare any phone to a tv
you can't compare any phone to a laptop

Why will i want to pay an extra for a redmi 12 instead of a tecno spark when i know they both sucks at high end gaming

First to bring which one?

If you want power bank, go for the latest Doogee.
If UD display fingerprint and chipset is your problem, go for the Poco F5 Pro and pay more , $100 more should be nothing for those features.
As for 8k video recording? Am I a photographer or do I have events that I want to cover with such an overated gimmick? Even most flagships don't have this feature, talk less of the Poco F5

I used to enjoy mobile games during the java/symbian os era, since those os cast i no send mobile games again, there's a video on YouTube by mrwhosetheboss on why mobile gaming failed.

me too right i don't even buy phone to play games anymore even simple games like beach buggy is just enough for me. I enjoyed games in the era of java and symbian phones than android

Truth to be told, andriod gaming still never strong Many PS1 and 2 games clap modern andriod games. But the question wey I'll ask the guy who will choose PS4 over S23 Ultra — can your PS4 snap pictures at 100x zoom

you do know you are the first to bring up this logic

There's a reason why some gamers go for mobiles instead of PlayStation Consoles. Well, apart from the fact they're very expensive

Seriously bro.. You really going to compare a game console or a gaming pc to a phone now? You really want us to go there?

Well, this argument is taking us nowhere — so let me just treat your opinion as a matter of your own personal preference and nothing more.

that's exactly what im saying, stop saying flagship killer there's no such thing as that it's all gimmick
Xioami did mi series, t series, poco, redmi you think they are a fool and will honestly tell you redmi is a killer to mia series, seriously?
It all boils down to how much your budget is and the corners you as a buyer will be willing to cut to afford a phone. But don't buy a phone for half the price of a flagship then tell yourself you buy a flagship killer just so you can make yourself feel good.
I have used a lot of flagship phones and i will never buy a brand new midrange for any reasons i will rather buy a used flagship

Okay, let's run Mobile Legends at Ultra Graphics and see which phone would boil like a potato after a few matches? Or can your Spark 10 Pro run Genshin Impact at the highest graphics/60 FPS without throttling after a few minutes?

you cant even run genshin impact for 1hr at full graphic on redmi 12 turbo

So the Xiaomi 13 Ultra without 8k selfie video recording is a mid-range? Your logic is flawed.

13ultra is a flagship stop twisting words, stick to the midrange series or your so called flagship killer

Here is when it all boils down on preference — I will only go for the S22 Ultra if it's in the same price range as the Poco F5, once the gap is more than 50k... S22 no go see my breaklight stall.
And due to my preference (and empty pockets), I'd choose the Poco F5 over the Poco F5 Pro. Although I'd rather own a flagship, the 'killers' which are less expensive (what I can afford) and better than other midrangers would be what I should go for.

now that you say it like this it's makes sense and all down to preference.. cos i will rather go for a used flagship than any gimmick flagship killer or midranger, cos at the end there's nothing like flagship killer if the so called killer don't offer exactly what the flagship offer... So what's it killing?
Its like telling someone 18karat gold is better than 24karat because it's cheaper and it looks the same.

Besides the general point of a flagship killer is for it to be a less expensive flagship, right? So to do that, the manufacturing company must cut some corners so they wouldn't incur losses and cut down on their flagship sales at the same time.
It's only when the gap between Flagship Killers and Flagship is too wide, then one can argue if the term is a baseless gimmick.

if you undercut corner it's no longer a flagship killer, cos if so then spark10 is a flagship killer too

Spark 10 Pro better than Redmi 12 Turbo? Okay. I'll like to be enlightened: Let's start with the chipset.

any app or game the redmi 12 will run spark 10pro will run it how's that for chipset

Poco F5 on its own murders every member of the S series up to the Galaxy S21 Plus which retails at over 400k for the 8/128GB version (brand new)
Poco F5 Pro? Don't even get me started. The only downside for me is the price — it claps both of the phones you mentioned, and is cheaper

f5 pro claps s21 ultra?
I will rather buy a foreign used s22 ultra than to go buy a new f5pro

FYI:
Poco has SD 7 Gen 2 Chipset, which is an underclocked version of last year's Flagship 8 Gen 1 chipset
It has an AMOLED display, not OLED as you mentioned (OLED is for the cheaper Chinese variant Redmi 12 Turbo). Reverse charging? Does iPhone 14 Pro Max have that feature? If you want power bank, go for the latest Doogee.
If UD display fingerprint and chipset is your problem, go for the Poco F5 Pro and pay more , $100 more should be nothing for those features.

you see the problem you can't compromise on specs and call yourself a flagship killer, i can use the same point you make and debate that tecno spark 10pro is better than redmi 12 turbo

Tell me any old flagship that'll clap the Poco F5 Pro in the price range (380 - 430k), because I think your claims of “flagship killers” being nothing more than a marketing gimmick, wrong.

I don't really think this is a debate honestly cos from galaxy note 20 ultra- s22 ultra will murder that f5 pro.
Im a huge fan of xiaomi but a lot of people hyping redmi series like its a flagship killer... that's a HUGE NO, so long its a redmi it will never be a flagship killer

So the Redmi 12 Turbo (Poco F5) is not Flagship Killer? and I should add 700k and go for S23 Ultra or Xiaomi 13 Ultra? I don't care much if you think it to be marketing gimmick or not, but seriously?

and you think its a flagship killer cheesy

with snapdragon 7, no reverse charging, no under display fingerprint, no 8k recording, oled screen.
Like i said flagship killer ended with oneplus 8 or 9.
And even xiaomi flagship killer are their T series and not redmi, redmi is xiaomi lowest phones models

We wey dey rush for flagship killer, nko? We're already addicted

flagship killer is a marketing gimmick and the only true flagship killers was oneplus up untill oneplus 9... and for the last 3years there's no flagship killer anymore cos of the effect of covid.
So saying you are going for a flagship killer at this time is just pointless, if you have the money for a flagship go for it but to me i will always prefer a 3years old flagship to a new midrange.
