I don't understand your logic.
Last month the Redmi Note 10 5G was considered the best in this list, now it has disappeared from june list, but the others that occupied positions below the Redmi Note 10 5G, continue to appear?
Maybe I should have made it clear, but the list isn't in order of best to "worst".
So, the POCO M3 PRO 5G took the place of the Note 10 5G because of the similar specs and lower price, while all the other options are still good on their own.
We also try not just go with one brand to give people an alternative if they don't like a specific brand for whatever reason (such as software).
