It was with the Pocophone, a phone costing ~$300. Let that price sink in.

Sure, but the listed stats are better. So you're saying that stats do not mean much if they are also cheap? It shows there are screen qualities that make it better that are beyond spec sheets.

We're on HackerNews. We know that anything has a long list of stats and vendors will optimize for the stats that are actually shown on a spec sheet, at the expense of others.

And how is it in any way fair for reasonable people to compare a $300 phone with a $750 one? Put the XR next to Samsung S9 and have the XR cry (and by the way, the S9 is around $600 on Amazon now!).
