Ever since using poco f1, there's like 70% chances that Waze cant lock location even after few minutes, Google Map no issue at all.

That's new, will try and feedback.

At main Setting page, search 'GPS'

nilkin h+ always good.

I like this snap-on case, solid build.

read somewhere in XDA that those with unlocked bootloader may face slow/freeze Google Camera, you unlocked ?

way better. Google Camera always superior, especially the HDR algorithm

For me, Waze have higher chance of not locking, compared to Google Map. Although some said it's Umobile issue, I need to change telco then only know ( planning to change )

No issue GPS locking, but Waze randomly just wont get it. I can wait for few minutes, then open Google Map no issue display location and navigation.

mobile data. It consume lots of power, especially when he stream. Worse if signal wasnt good.

It will be badly optimized, worse is there's no 5G standard from IEEE yet, so the so-called 5G phone release next year will be telco siok-sendiri standard ( ie AT&T will rebadge their current LTE+ phone to display 5G E next year, even though it's nothing related to 5G )
Ignore early product for future technology at all cost. Go research those early 4G phone, bad battery life, high cost, and if you bought wrong standard one, GG future proof ( look at WiMax that 'suppose' to be 4G, but lose to LTE )

Last I heard 5G NR still proposal.
Even after confirmed, still doesn't mean we get properly optimized first gen 5G product. Compatibility also headache, as different telco may opt for different frequency ( likely due to existing h/w upgrade limit )

Telco will rebrand their current or upgraded service to 5G marketing term ( AT&T fake 5G )

WiMax initially had been competing with LTE, but LTE gets more manufacturer and telco adoption. ( remember YES by YTL ? )

so Xiaomi famous of GPS issue ?

Me previous few years using Nexus/Pixel, Google phone are famous of getting good signal and fast locking.

I think just go get from official Mi Store, price difference should be small, just check for Lazada or Shopee discount. Official Malaysia warranty for less worry.

If you zoom in and compare, 'brighter' stock camera photo lack details and sharpness, overblown highlight.

Typical misconception. People usually think brighter photo are better ( if dont pixel peeping )
That's how poco f1 get more votes than iphone X, note 9 and hydrogen red one in mkbhd smartphone camera blind test, making to final round and lose only to mate 20 pro.


EDIT: too free in office, so I did this:
Left stock, right Google Camera
While I dont have original photos, but stock camera apps seems to push ISO too high, and too aggressive on noise reduction.

Nilkin always good option. Good quality while not too expensive.

I'm using this casing as well ( blue ), although build quality so so ( thin bumper ) but that clothe feel just so nice.

Which telco you're on ?
I'm on umobile and have high rate of GPS not lock in Waze. Just now back from MidValley, both Waze and GMap cant navigate, I had to follow old klang road to bukit jalil, coz I know how to get home from mrr2 there. Keep restart Waze also same.

Gonna port to tunetalk soon, will test and feedback, if it's umobile problem or poco f1 problem

I'm going to test if telco or f1 issue.
Previously on Pixel XL, cant recall issue with Waze before, except when underground and totally no data connection so it cant calculate route, once go out from got back signal, immediately lock and navigate.
