Strange, just noticed, but GSMArena had this comment on 12X review:

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_12x-review-2395p4.php

Right! its the exact opposite of what the throttle tests shows

The 12 uses the SD Gen 1 whereas the 12X uses the 870

So it is the 12 that should not get as warm as the 12X

Not sure what to say, but in general it has been well documented on how hot S888 & SD Gen 1 gets compared to previous flagship SoCs or Apple ones.

The cores of the 12X are around 30-35 degrees C but there is a figure below them that says 68.

Can't read what the temp of the cores of the 12 are though

The samsung a53 looks good and also the a52s but it is an older phone.

No current Samsung smartphones are gonna last longer. Forget it. Even i don't like apple i would say invest some more and buy Apple devices.

If you aren't a gamer, buying a 35k phone now & another 35k one after 3 years will net a better experience in the longer run than a 70k iPhone for 6 years. Just saying, iPhones & other top phones are more of a luxury device than a practical device for the majority.

Hm. True. But why would you think that by saying 'invest wome more' i mean another 35k? It could be 2-5k. Why would anyone invest some more and souble the amount? Anyway OP got the point.

How to invoke student price?

 

[asura]

There are several direct partnerships between Samsung and universities, or you can use unidays.In my situation, it was for icai members and students.

I read today that S20 FE would be 27-30 and S21 FE 30-35 in coming sale. If true than S20FE will come down to A52S price. Is S20 really better than A52S? How do they compare?

S20FE 5G is already selling for 30k + card offers. S20FE 5G is superior hardware-wise over A52s 5G. A52s will get android 14, whereas android 13 is last for S20FE.

 

[karanssh]

S21 FE is around 35K in this sale, so you can go for that.

Yes, S20FE is better than A52s.

If combined with ICICI credit card, one can have it for 32k.

I'm not able to see this, could you please send me a link to it?

Okay, got it, this is available only in the App. Will opting for 6 month EMI on HDFC Card (to get 3000 cashback) incur some extra EMI interest?

why buy on EMI? A colleague of mine lost his iPhone a week after buying it, and continued to pay EMIs till the loan was cleared. Buy what you can afford, esp., electronics.
