We live in a world where smartphones have become status symbols, as expensive as kidneys on the black market and as fragile as the ego of the average influencer. We pay a thousand euros and more for devices that we use mainly to watch cats on TikTok. And then there's the Xiaomi Poco F8 Pro. A phone that walks into a room, kicks the door off its hinges, throws 1,500 euros worth of specs on the table, and asks for a third of that amount with a smile. Is it the perfect phone? No. But it's the absolute wildest bargain of the year, one that will give CEOs in Cupertino and Seoul a headache.
