$500 is quite a bit less than the high end flagships out there now. Sure, you can get phones cheaper than $500. But they're usually not trying to compete with the $1400 flagships.

        In my usual scenarios i don't need 5x telefoto, record performance and very fast charging. But i need wireless charging to put phone on the night table before sleep without searching for the wire and aiming at the connector. Yours best flagship killers don't have this.

          The Realme X50 Pro's new update means it can now record in 4K 60fps

              well, Mi9 are not in "flagship killer" list, at 450 euros, and have it all, it should be in that category. since Mi9 SE is in compact section, Mi9 deserve a place in this too!

              For 450 when launched you have 1080p AMOLED screen, IR blaster, SD855, Fast Wireless Charging, IDFS...whats wrong with you guys?!

              Mi9, sure the most underated phone of the year...of the last year, and even this year will be, we can find the 6/128GB for less than 350 euros, so is for sure a flagship killer!

                How they can be "Flagship killers" if they don't manage at even putting the basics right, like a freaking MicroSD expansion slot, that even mid-low range phones does have.

                    I've seen the oneplus 7t for about $400 new and that has a better camera than the Realme X2 pro, so i have no idea why that isnt on here instead of the Realme phone.

                    Also the price given for the Realme x2 Pro is for the 6GB 64GB version, which makes the decision to include it here instead of the OnePlus 7t even more baffling.

                      VixkoSVK, 24 Nov 2019The basic oneplus 7 definitely belongs here... As its even ... more559$ was the launch price for OP7
