Smart Phone Pit Avoidance Guide | Which phone models should you never buy? Summary of mainstream brands

Article | Xiaoyiping Technology

It's about to reach 618, and many bloggers, including myself, have also provided a lot of purchasing strategies and recommended many models that are worth buying.

So this article will summarize the phones that should not be purchased in the current mobile phone market, to help everyone avoid pitfalls reasonably. This article will list them based on the phone brand.

Xiaomi Chapter

Shortlisted models: Redmi Note12RPro, Xiaomi 13Pro, Redmi Note12Pro Extreme Edition, Redmi Note12Pro+, Redmi K60Pro

1. Red Rice Note12RPro

Current selling price: 1799 yuan 12+256G.

Reason for not recommending: Starting at 1799 yuan, buy a red rice phone equipped with Snapdragon 4 series processors. Isn't it fragrant to buy a red rice Note11Tpro at this price? This machine has not even been launched in Xiaomi's own shopping mall, and is completely a product specifically designed for telecom operators, which can be understood as a customized machine.

2. Xiaomi 13Pro:

Current selling price: starting from 4999

Reason for not recommending: The price difference between Xiaomi 13Pro and Xiaomi 13Ultra in the same configuration is only 200. Although it is not inferior to Xiaomi 13Ultra in many aspects, considering its appearance differentiation and significant differences in imaging compared to Xiaomi 13Ultra, there will definitely be room for price reduction in the future. Everyone can hold onto the coin and wait.

3. Red Rice Note12Pro Speed Edition

Current selling price: Starting from 1699 yuan

Reason for not recommending: Essentially, it is also a model specifically designed for the offline market, without a press conference and quietly launched. This model is equipped with a Snapdragon 778G processor, a 100 megapixel sensor, and a 5000 mAh battery. The price starts at 1699 yuan, and the price for 12+256G is 1899 yuan. Isn't this price not good for buying a Red Rice Note12Turbo?

4. Red Rice Note12Pro+

Current selling price: Starting from 1899 yuan

Reason for not recommending: For a price close to 2000 yuan, buying a machine equipped with a Tianji 1080 processor and without any bright appearance would be a big mistake. Although the 210W fast charging is fast, it is difficult to become a core selling point.

5. Hongmi K60Pro

Current selling price: Starting from 3299 yuan

Reason for not recommending: A model that will inevitably be reduced to 2500 yuan in the 6128 price range is now a big deal for whoever buys it, and the appearance and texture are too dilapidated.

Honor Chapter

Finalist models: Glory Play7T, Glory X40GT, Glory X50I, Glory 80SE, Glory 60SE, Glory Play7TPro, HONOR Magic3 Pro, Glory 80Pro, Glory Play6, HONOR Magic4 Pro

1. In addition to Glory X40, Glory X40GT, and HONOR X30, all other Glory phones such as Glory Play series and Glory X Digital I series are not worth buying. Their comprehensive competitiveness is very weak, and most of them are products of ODM (OEM).

2. The Honor Digital SE series (Honor 60SE, 70SE, 80SE) and others are also intelligent machines, and their cost-effectiveness is very average in their price range. Before making a purchase, everyone must be cautious, including the upcoming Honor 90SE.

3. The Honor X40GT, although equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor, has a very high energy efficiency ratio. I personally do not recommend purchasing it. There is a large order of the Tianji 8200 at this price range, and the Snapdragon 7Gen2 model is optional.

4. The product power of the Honor 80Pro itself is very average, and it was severely impacted by the Honor 80GT later. However, on the eve of the release of the Honor 90Pro, the comprehensive product power of the Honor 80Pro has even expanded. We do not recommend everyone to start. For those who are really planning to purchase the Honor model, they may consider the Honor 90Pro.

5. The price of HONOR Magic3 and Magic4 series is not low, but because they are equipped with Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8Gen1 processors, the price is not very competitive, and the overall performance is relatively ordinary, so they are not recommended.

OPPO Chapter

Including OnePlus and Realme

Finalized models: OPPOA96, OPPOA97, OPPOReno8Pro, OPPOFindX6, OPPOReno9Pro

1. The OPPOA series has always been a model under OPPO that focuses on sinking into the market, and is the profit cow model that OPPO relies on to survive (the A series has always been OPPO's main shipping product). However, the cost-effectiveness of the A series is also very impressive.

The A-series models currently on sale are the A36, A55S, A56S, A96, and the newly released A97. Among them, the A3 and A5 series, which focus on ultra-low end prices, have good product power. For example, the A56 is equipped with the Tianji 810 processor, priced at over a thousand yuan, and is also one of the cheapest 5G phones at present.

And the latest releases of A96 and A97, especially A97, are truly "garbage kings". If you can't buy them, don't buy them.

2. OPPOReno8Pro and OPPOReno9Pro: OPPOReno8Pro is equipped with the first generation Snapdragon 7 processor, well, not even dogs.

The OPPOReno9pro is equipped with the Tianji 8100 processor, and the price has reached 3500 yuan. Is it not fragrant to buy an ACE2 or a Xiaomi 13 with this money?

3. OPPOFindX6 Standard Edition: Green Factory flagship equipped with the Tianji 9200 processor. It is inevitable that this model will be discounted to 3000 yuan on the Double Eleven, and whoever buys it at the original price will be a loser.

VIVO Chapter

Including iQOO

Shortlisted models: VIVOY78+, VIVOY78, VIVOY73, VIVOS16E, iQOO11Pro, VIVOS16Pro, VIVOX90Pro

1. The VIVOY series, like the OPPOA series, is also focused on offline market profit cow models. Moreover, compared to the OPPOA series, there are occasionally several "conscience products", and the performance of all models in the VIVOY series is very impressive.

For example, the processor equipped with VIVOY77 is still the Tianji 930, but when it comes to VIVOY78+, it has degenerated into Snapdragon 695. The practice of squeezing toothpaste backwards is really rare. In short, the Y series should not be touched without touching it.

2. VIVOS Digital E Series: Like the Honor SE series, both are green leaf machines with very weak comprehensive product strength and high prices. Don't touch this type of model when you encounter it.

3. IQOO11Pro: does not support IP68, and the rear main camera is only IMX866. It's hard to imagine such a phone selling almost at the same price as the Xiaomi 13 Ultra

4. VIVOX90Pro: Since the release of the X90 series, VIVOX90Pro has been a very awkward product. The price is expensive and the configuration is not outstanding, so it is not recommended to get started.

Huawei Chapter

Shortlisted models: Huawei P60Pro, Huawei Changxiang 60, Changxiang 60Pro, Huawei Nova11Pro, Huawei Changxiang 50Z, Huawei Changxiang 60X, Huawei Nova10Z, Huawei Nova10 Youth Edition, etc.

Huawei's side is relatively simple. Currently, except for Huawei's flagship Huawei Mate, Huawei P-series, Huawei MateX foldable screen series, etc., other products on the market have very low competitiveness, especially some thousand yuan machines that exist between 1000 and 1500 yuan, and should not be touched.

End hopes it can help you
