This phone problem is something else

Ever since I updated to miui 13 phone trips off anytime, I can't use phone without charger.. I even factory reset the phone thinking the problem would be over but still continue tripping off and it won't boot up itself without connecting charger

The screen also bad, I don't if the screen is responsible for all these.

What you think? Please look into this

Please look into this without him seeing it physically?

From your first statement. Your phone's battery is bad. So you have two components to change

Hello guys. Please is it advisable to make a tft display replacement for a phone that had AMOLED display? Asides the difference in display quality, I hope there are no other cons.

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.
It's like comparing a used benz to a brand new toyota there's a huge difference

So the Redmi 12 Turbo (Poco F5) is not Flagship Killer? undecided 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?

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.

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

FYI:
Poco has SD 7+ Gen 2 Chipset, which is an underclocked version of last year's Flagship 8 Gen 1 chipset cheesy
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? cheesy 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 grin, $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 undecided

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

Flagship of over three years old,
Must be around 380 — 430k,
Must be better than the F5 Pro — Standard is (Performance),
Any brand, as far as the device will be considered relevant in 2024:

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

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) undecided
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 cool

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

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

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.

Spark 10 Pro with it's midrange chipset, camera and build — Flagship Killer? What aspects of it can be considered Flagship?

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.

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.
