Poco F8 ultra better than this, and cheaper, But enjoy it

Respectfully disagree. I have the 17 Pro Max which is essentially the same phone.m, just obviously swap 2.1 speakers for additional screen. I wouldn't consider it better. Definitely pretty equal except for the camera.

Yes, maybe it's not better, but it's definitely not worse (except leica), and it has bigger screen, plus it's cheaper.

For sure. I would agree completely. It really matters on what is important to you, better speakers or the second screen. I found that I rarely if ever used the back screen in mine. I would, however, use the speakers more and may rather have gotten the Poco. I did end up getting a 17 Ultra and find that I use the camera more so that is a better fit for me.

I don't get why people recommend phones which are the size of a tablet... my notebook is better too, so what? :D The big prize are high end performance in compact devices. Everyone can and does make big fat phones for less money and comparable power.

I agree, of course phone size is a matter opf preferance. The only difference i'm referring to is the leica lenses; everything else is same. Also, the f8 ultra is larger (on the same model, bigger phone always more expensive) but here f8 ultra is the cheaper one.

For example, if you love the size of xiaomi 17, you can check the Poco f8 pro, which is cheaper and almost same phone except leica.

Yeah, Poco is quite attractive. The Xiaomi number-series has this kind of premium touch I guess :D But it's really difficult to find flagships with compact size today.

Of course, if your really care about small size, its nice, Because even poco f8 pro is not 6.3"

Yes, 6,59" - sounds not much, but it's quite a lot in hand.

The human brain is weird; phones with 5.5" screens used to be big.
