Conclusion

Color OS at ~16K starting with K13 becomes good, but is horrible at 10.5K.

For 10.5K..
Nothing OS doesn't sell at 10.5K, FunTouch OS does not either, Realme UI is horrible, forget Android Go, & ignore Poco. One UI 7 might compete well

For 10,000 to ~16,000 better take this over the others in terms of software. After 16K it's still Color OS, FunTouch OS, & Nothing OS that are far better skins overall than this. Oh yes, this is far better than Hyper OS for Poco & Redmi as well, but that is not a super high bar to clear.

Final words, Infinix/ Tecno have done a very good job with XOS/ Hi OS 15, this is a step in the right direction.

Circle to Search is there, yes, it works, but is quite laggy and also slow,
There's a 1st-party Circle to Search 'clone' called 'Folax Smart' or something, just use C2S instead

Dimensity 8500 :

- ANTUTU Score ~ 2 Million

Redmi Turbo 5 / Poco X8 Pro could be the first device to come with this SoC.

Some other phones like Oppo Reno 15 Series & Vivo phones will come with this SoC

As expected, One UI 8 Beta 4 for the Galaxy S25 Series has no new features like Adaptive Clock, Now Brief Read Aloud, etc.

Here’s why 👇
There are two One UI 8 development branches:
- Stable (BYGD) – Has all new features
- Beta (ZYGB) – Features are missing for now
