FYI, the unit he often received are totally different with the consumers. Cherry-picked the best unit & don't represent in real life. Stop believing the reviewer unit. The majority of them are not honest & paid by the vendors.

I don't trust those well known YouTuber. The most reliable is directly from the end user that using their own blood money to purchase it. This phone main selling point is the SD845 & India developers for optimization.

Yup.You got the points.i am not sure interm of lifespan of the phone and the components quality due to cost cutting.I may wait a while to see the review from end user since I am interested in 64GB variant.

Poco phone using gorilla glass 3 instead of latest gorilla glass 5. Diu liao.

But end user also sure tell good thing

What are differences btw international and malaysia set?

Depend, look at Mi 8 thread regarding the GPS issue. This is real shit, but not happened with all users.

Warranty, LTE bands, GPS incompatibility in some cases.

Also the warranty. Don't go for supplier warranties.

Make sure it is local manufacturer warranty. If you go for a supplier warranty, be prepared to be without a phone for months while they take their time fixing your device.

Well, if the 8/256 Armored Edition never reaches our shores officially (which seems rather plausible, considering the "top" spec outside India is the 6gb version), folks who want that specific config (most of the folks here) ain't gonna have a choice there lol.

I'm beginning to think that the 8/256 is actually a limited manufacture model made in low numbers SPECIFICALLY to kick OP India's nuts.

What do you guys think in term of the software update and support for poco?Will it like be getting update as fast as the Android one phone like MI A2?Android one phone seems to get the OS update at least for 2 years.Not sure about poco how well the software updates and support.

Slightly better than A2 for sure. September SST is around the corner & yet Mi 8 still stuck with July security patches. No news for Android 9.x as well. If got money, I won't even consider Android & straight buy the upcoming iPhone & call it a day.

What's the difference ya? enlighten me please, not so into all these tech.

Its just the toughness of the glass. The higher gorrila glass is more resistant to scratches than the older iterations. In most cases, scratches aren't the biggest worry cause you're gonna plaster a screen protector over it anyway.

The more important point is that it is also more shatter resistant but no glass in the world can save a clumsy person.

Xiaomi still updates their older devices, but it may or may not be as fast as their Android One devices. Personally I won't worry about updates too much since I'm going to use a custom ROM anyway

I see, thanks. So gorilla glass 3 is far worse than 5? Yes, I will look for a tempered glass with identical size to cover it. lol

Well the plastic back helps too, that much I'll agree. Or Gorilla 6, which supposedly IS made for drops (or at least according to Corning).

BTW (and a bit OT), do you folks still remember the times when "Corning" meant more dishes and bowls rather than smartphone glass? I wonder if they still make kitchenware today.
