More pictures samples. HDR+ Enhanced vs Stock camera HDR off and AI off

Looks like HDR+ Enhanced is much better. Hmmm...Maybe I should re-test.

Reask this after few days since more ppl got the phone now. smile.gif sorry

Anyone face camera issue?
I was testing the phone in DirectD in 1U. But the camera is so slow to focus. I try to open the camera app, then quickly touch to focus and then quickly take a shot. It will freeze for few seconds before taking the photo. Delay 3-4 seconds.  And not sure is it because of the lighting in the shop. The photo taken wasn't that good either.

On the way to the shop, I tested Nokia 7 and Zenfone 5z , it seems better. (not sure if it's related to screen or the lighting though)

No such issue on my dad's unit.

No harm to compare. However, it's kind of true what Jack Ma said about do biz. sweat.gif
To me, this phone, I think Xiaomi only earns like less than 10% margin? haha I think it's damn worth d and is disrupting the market. IMHO, anything priced too close to Pocophone is not worth it, unless one must have AMOLED and/or NFC. Either go low budget (below RM800), or super high end (Samsung premium, above 2K). Anything in between, other than Pocophone, I think is not worth it.

QUOTE(killer zone II @ Sep 4 2018, 03:48 PM)
Haha. Coz my previous experience with Xiaomi phone, the GPS kinda suck. Can lost your way while waze. Dang.  sweat.gif

I bought this phone for my dad. I only tried to locate myself indoor, no issue. Haven't bring it out to navigate yet.

QUOTE(dotn3t @ Sep 4 2018, 04:35 PM)
Anyone used POCO F1 for gaming? How is screen response when it comes to multi touch gaming like PUBG and Mobile Legends?

Saw one or two threads in xda mentioning this so i'm wondering if its a widespread problem or isolated case.
*
I did not test it with gaming. But it does not have any issue with touch sensitivity, like my Sony XZ2 had earlier, before the latest update.

Most phones nowadays already have it. Only issue is, most phones cannot display the expected output in live view before snapping the pic.
BTW the F auto should be focus auto. What's so surprising? lol

I do not have the phone with me now but the only phone which has variable aperture is Samsung S9 series and Note 9. So, that should bury your hope lol.

Not really. Some of the issues are due to the wide notch and Mi8 has the same issue.

QUOTE(saitong09 @ Sep 7 2018, 08:26 AM)
1499 not cheap leh, but give some time for Mi to fix since the phone is newly launched smile.gif

It starts at RM1237. I think this is as affordable as it could get.

Waited till 945pm, recieved sms from driver said will be delivered tomorrow, i'm on fire and call their Customer Service make so much noise to them, then only the driver send it to me at 1030pm.

service say "deliver at the same day" but who is expecting receiving it tomorrow?

Anyways, got the phone and unboxing experience is good, device worth the price as it is.

1st thing to install to the phone is game (LOL) , damn it was good silky smooth for gaming experience. Today i'm gonna get tempered glass and high speed microSD and swap my sim as a daily phone.

Still finding a way to custom the app DPI setting, the Icon and front in apps looks too huge for me. Any one knows trick to do that please share.

cheers Pocophone owners

What I notice is, the SETTINGS font size is not uniform with most apps. It's much larger. If you set the font size to large (e.g. FB app font size is smaller), the font in settings will be too large.
To change DPI, enable developer mode and change the "Smallest Width". https://phandroid.com/2016/05/24/how-to-cha...-nexus-no-root/

AMOLED should save power than IPS..... brows.gif

Anyways i feel AMOLED better than IPS( Just my feel la.....) tongue.gif
*
Yes AMOLED in general is better. However, this is the part I do not understand. Each time a new Samsung S and Note series is launched, DisplayMate would test their display and likely Samsung will be awarded the best display in the market so far, based on the colour accuracy test etc. This is not surprising as Samsung is the state-of-the-art display maker. BUT, those who has been using AMOLED will notice the colour it hates is pure white. It just simply can't get pure white as good as IPS panel. In that case, how did they win the best display award? I think they excel in most parameters, but not pure white. It's like a sport cars can do everything but not normal town ride.

yeah I owned mi4i before less update & selling in SEA only

Mi8 is xiaomi flagship ,

poco is xiaomi sub company , the phone is design from india team not xiaomi team,

xiaomi just help pocophone selling the phone only,

MI8 currently RM1569 6+128GB with freebies ... just RM70 different with poco 6+128gb  bruce.gif

Apple vs orange bro. The Mi8 in the link is AP set and fishy seller. What's up with the 18+ age filter? 😅

just top up little bit u get better display , camera , gorilla glass 5 and 7 series aluminium frame...why not  laugh.gif  just RM70 different what...  tongue.gif

Not as straightforward. Let's compare with 6GB+64 for both models local sets: RM1237 vs RM1599.
At 29.2% premium over Pocophone, you gain AMOLED display, better camera, NFC and glass materials on body (will be covered by case anyway).

But you lose 4000mAh battery, dual speakers (not significant because the earpiece is much weaker), 3.5mm jack, and practicality (polycarbonate). Poco launcher is smoother and simpler as well.

Why I see CPU z, total ram only 5.6GB?

Just installed few app for normal usage, ram usage already  around 65%. Imagine using 4gb phone for miui.

The OS locked out some memory for itself.

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Sep 16 2018, 12:32 AM)
i just collected my phone from seven mobile today 128GB.

for the price itself its already worthy it.

The screen sharpness under day light on video quite sux lose to my s8+
Speakers are stereo great
Speed responsiveness very fast
The phone looks like iphone X with the sux notch

Overall nothing much to complaint for the price i paid. I will test out the camera tomorrow.
*
I would say anything below 2K reso would look not as sharp as S8 panel. But then S8 has trouble with pure white colour.

QUOTE(Theoutspokenguy @ Sep 16 2018, 01:20 AM)
if i have a choice between note 8 and poco f1 surely i will stick to note 8. The only winning point of poco is the snapdragon 845 with 6gb ram but the poco OS seems alot issue .

Camera = Note 8
User Experience = Note 8
Display = Note 8 AMOLED better than F1 even under daylight
Speaker = F1
Overall Display = I prefer Note 8 for curve edge but some might prefer F1 becauuse it look like Iphone X with notch
Build Quality = Note 8
Speed = Note 8 support 4G+ heard F1 only 4G
Charging = F1 with QC 3.0 with LED white LED light
Wireless Charging = Note 8
Payment = Samsung Pay Note 8
Performance = For me not much difference
Price worthiness = F1
Cooling System= F1
Writing = Note 8 with Spen
*
Err... You spent so long to type these out but failed to recognise Note 8 is 2x the price of Pocophone now and almost 3x the price when it was launched? doh.gif

Having said that, performance wise it's noticeable the F1 is faster, even day to day normal use.

Even specs also there are a lot of hardwares not listed in the sheet. E.g. Mic quality, button quality and material etc.
Having said that, it's hard to phantom why they are comparing with top end phones cost 3x the price. Lol
