We also check out the gaming chops for titles like PubG and even Genshin Impact, to see which is the speed champion.

My reviews of the Redmi Note 10 Pro and Realme 8 Pro are already live. Full verdict on the Poco X3 Pro and Mi 11 Lite coming in the next few days! You can also see my round-ups of my favourite budget Androids here on the channel.

Starting with cameras, and the Realme 8 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro aim to impress with their 108MP primary sensors. It's not all about specs and numbers, though. Here we compare the photo quality on these four blowers, plus those camera features.

The Poco X3 Pro impresses with its SD860 performance, even if the mighty Genshin Impact is still a struggle at times. However you don't get an OLED screen. While the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite fails to deliver a headphone jack or microSD storage support.

As for battery life...well, that would spoil the surprise.
