So what do you get for a starting sub-25k price tag? With the POCO F2 Pro, a lot apparently. Check out the comparison table Xiaomi PH showed during the livestream launch (which, you can watch here).
Clearly, you can see the well the handset compares to two Android heavyweights (with the price tags to match) — the Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the OnePlus 8 Pro. It even undercuts upper midrange devices.
