I've been watching reviews and after buying a Redmi Note 7 this year, I bought my wife a Redmi Note 8 Pro. I know she's gonna love it! If it's anything like its predecessor. It's gonna be nice!

Well, I think When I buy a smartphone, I'm Buying an experience. I agree that all the phones mentioned in the list do have great specifications on paper but when it comes to software support Realme is horrible. The realme 1 launched with an helio p60(same as the Nokia 5.1 plus), while the Nokia 5.1 plus is being updated to android 10 while the Realme 1 isn't. I strongly believe that while Reviewing phones you guys should also include the company's update track record in the picture.
The Nokia 8.1 while it has an LCD display, has far superior display quality as compared to budget phones having AMOLED displays. While the processor is an Sd710 it is still very capable and costs £ 279 right now.
I personally think better software support is what gives One Plus and Nokia phones an edge over others.
So, Can I expect to see more software related stuff in GSMArena's Reviews?

People talking less about phones but talking more about about angie and then comes people whp are talking about the people who are talking about angie... Definately looks like a GSMarena video.. lol

[proxima]

I'm just interested in a midrange phone. Lol.

[cabronesse]

My ninja way told me to read all comments about Angie, so far so good.. as expected.

[metanoia.CHANGE_OF_MIND]

Why not think Angie is like Merida from brave. She is way different from any Disney Princess yet she is still a Princess.

[KritarthMalviya]

You have a great voice! Videos of GSM Arena are different than others. You speak and tell stuff in a different way and the points you put up are so apt..

[mmarinkovic]

Watching on my Note 8 pro... Great phone, maybe one of best lcd display's, great battery, excelent camera, great design, like flagship performance... What more to get for 250€... Perfect...
