I'm also looking on either Mi 8 & Poco.
But earlier review i checked, Mi 8 is having GPS issue.
Can anyone confirm whether now there is still issue or not?

Previously i use redmi note 3, the GPS signal is terrible.

The GPS issue should be fixed with patch from 9.6.4.0
Just don't over set your battery saver as it is very aggressive, suspected previously I set many restrictions and the GPS has been remain off for some reason untill factory reset needed.

xisan Congrats. Mine still haven't shipped yet. MIUI 10 stable is available for EE.

How to update to MIUI 10? I just checked, no latest update. Currently on 9.6.

Good looking indeed.

Do review on the in-display fingerprint unlock vs your Poco fingerprint unlock, please smile.gif

Both are fast.
On Mi 8 EE, every time I lift the phone, the fingerprint reader shows up. Just put my finger and press a bit.

xisan Just download & put into the storage then choose update package. FYI, everything will be reset too.

I'll just use face recognition & won't use the fingerprint.

V10.0.4.0.OEACNFH

Tried wearing cap + sunglasses together.
Mi Pad 4, Note 9, Poco F1, Mi 8 EE - all unlocks well.
Instant is Poco F1. While Note 9 and Mi 8 EE tooks 1-2 secs as security measure, to really confirm it's you, not your twin maybe?

Thanks. Maybe I will wait for official. I already setup all in this phone, troublesome to do it all again.

Previously my app battery saver are all "Restricting Background Activity" mean once I close the app it will be closed won't remain in background.

Now I leave all on "Battery Saver (Recommended)"

If you try, battery saver is very aggressive when Battery Saver mode turn on it will turn off GPS.

Current issue with Mi8
1. whatsapp camera and video quality is very blur, never happen before when using note4 (so the solution is to record or take pictures using default camera and send through whatsapp
2. insta story cannot view properly, all the images and videos are zoomed in, images open in whatsapp are zoomed in as well
3. camera quality sometimes feel blur out in some parts (not using potrait)
4. currently no issue with GPS

Hi,

Anyone got issue with phone not rebooting? After I click reboot it just switches off and does not restart. Then takes a long time to press the start button before it reboots.

Thanks

This won't any void warranty because your boot-loader still locked. The Play Store is uncertified right?
