After five years, my iPhone 12 Pro’s battery can’t last a day, so I started looking for a new phone. But phones are so expensive now… For people who don’t need a flagship, I compared six phones at around ¥100,000, looking at Japan’s tap-to-pay (Osaifu-Keitai), eSIM and overseas network bands. My top pick was the Xiaomi 17T Pro, and I ended up buying it.
