Also did some phone upgrading on my end.
'Upgrading from a 3 years old Realme 8 4G 6/128 which still works just fine for everyday use I just wanted something faster cause reasons'
As usual I was on a budget and since I've had a positive experience with Xiaomi in the past with multiple different devices + my family also had/has products from them I've ended up picking this:

Yep I did go with the yellow eco leather back version cause I'm kinda tired of the same ol black phones and my father sometimes confuses my phone with his when I leave it in the kitchen, this I guess he wont be confusing with anymore.

Main reason for this was the performance, in the past years I've picked up mobile gaming a bit and this is the fastest phone in my budget range and its capable of running any mobile game currently with decent settings.
Rest of the phone is kinda average-ish but thats fine with me casue I pretty much never record videos and only take casual pics to show my family or friends/post on this forum and that much this can do.
'It does have a good display tho'
So ye hopefully this will last me a good few years like my previous budget phones.
'paid ~300 $ for it delivered to my place for free since I've had a coupon, bought from a trusted etailer in my country with warranty and its the global version so no weird stuff'
