Anything wrong with these Realme GT Neo 2 sales? (should I look for something else?)

Was about to buy the POCO F3 for 350, but the proximity sensor problem sounds like a dealbreaker issue for a device meant to be used for calls.

I've come across a Realme GT Neo 2 8/128GB deal for 540 AUD in Aliexpress, is there any reason why they are not listed here? I am also not sure of how stupid that much more is stupid for similar specs.

Those 175 extra aud get:

• A longer update period (3 years starting October instead of 2 years starting March?).
• 2 extra GB RAM.
• Better and less bloated software.
• Larger battery (though not necessarily longer lasting?)
• Faster charging (66 vs 33)
• More efficient, brighter display. (E4 Amoled)
• A phone that you can actually use as a phone.

Downsides:

• No headphone jack.
• Realme is very unlikely to get custom ROMs (LineageOS).

Would this be a bad purchase now, specially with the new releases around the corner? (My main concern about the new xiaomis (Redmi Note 11s, Poco F4) are the processor choices -untested Mediateks or overheating qualcomm models, likely unpolished/bloated software and the lottery of new dealbreaking issues reviews will of course not mention).

Anything else I should be keeping an eye for these days? Keys:

• I don't game on mobile (occassional boardgame/card game), but value a snappy, fluid user interface.
• Good battery life
• NFC
• Ideally Amoled, headphone jack
• Don't care at all about speakers
• Don't need a top of the line camera.
