Why do they call it water cooling when it's basically vapour chamber cooling? doh.gif

Marketing gimmick. If heatpipe is liquid cooling then water cooling for PC is what? doh.gif

The case bumper cover the screen after u applied tempered glass?

It fits but I strongly recommend you don't buy that case! It's not matte. It's actually satin! Very slippery... More slippery than the stock casing which made me wonder who would buy this casing if one could try it out beforehand.

Every single China phone have GPS waze issue. If you like to use Waze , buy Samsung instead.

I think only Xiaomi China set has this issue.

That s an exaggerated statement - " every"
I had never any GPS problems on HW Mate series from 7 till 9, one plus 3t,. 5t and oppo 7 and 9 too
I think most users having GPS seem to be related more to u mobile? I used either CELCOM or Digi on mine

Agreed!

Btw, if International Set = AP set = China ROM?

I thought Pocophone is not sold in China?

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Sep 23 2018, 11:48 AM)
Dunno ... Seems like every single China phone thread in this forum ranging from Xiaomi to OnePlus have GPS waze problem.

And perhaps this is why Xiaomi 8 Explorer edition have dual GPS.
*
Not really. My OP3 and OP5T AP with International ROM had no GPS issue at all.
OP6 is an isolated case for U-mobile only. I suspect is the GPS assist issue.

is pretty good SOT.
i do a small test on poco and N9 today.
12.30 pm today, both phone 100%.
2.37 am:
Poco left 63% with 3hr 47m SOT
N9 left 57% with 1hr 57m SOT.

worst part, N9 is close to basic unit now, as most apps remove (other than those bloatware) and no BT connection, but POCO with mail sycn, FB, TB, Insta, wifi, BT connect to watch, smart band, scale, PC n speaker.
*
Yup. It's not bad. For the price, I have no complain.
N9 = Note 9? Samsung software is too heavy la. With Bixby and all those shit lol

QUOTE(tank82 @ Oct 8 2018, 09:54 AM)
Is this true that every pocohone have screen bleed issue?
My phone have screen bleed and go to lowyat service center to check and informed by the technician all pocophone have this issue.
*
Unfortunately, this is on of LCD panel's weakness, especially for non flagship panel. It's kinda hit and miss. Some has it, some doesn't. Not sure about warranty coverage though.

Actually doesnt matter. Because normal ppl sleep 8 hours a day so if can last a day or two you have 8 hours to charge so 30mins is only useful if you have a small capacity battery phone.
*
It matters. I guess you have never tasted real fast chargers like OnePlus Dash. It's so fast to the point I don't need to charge it overnight (if that's what you refer by 8 hours sleep).

BTW we are comparing the charging rate. It affects the overall charging time regardless of the battery size.

I also wonder can get 1 to 1 exchange onot?

I am sure how is Xiaomi's warranty terms and conditions dealing with this issue. But I would try to return the phone. You can do that if you bought from Lazada.

QUOTE(teckyang97 @ Oct 8 2018, 09:35 PM)
Your point is valid if you assume everyone has the same usage as you. But there are many other heavy users who would really appreciate the quick charge technology. And my point still stands, why are flagship phone still 2-3k and doesn't include latest quick charge feature over "expensive" licensing fees?
*
The flagship phone you meant are Samsung? Apart from the Qualcom loyalty fee, it's also due to the Exynos not comply with the QC3.0 and above design. Samsung is basically going against the iPhone. So they may think it's still comparable.

QUOTE(saitong09 @ Oct 8 2018, 10:15 PM)
Note 9 battery really that bad ar? GSMarena endurance score 97h as compare to Poco 94h leh
*
Sometimes even the most fair testing methodology cannot explain the reason behind poor real life result. It may take just a single isolated code to make the phone behave that way.

QUOTE(juneong @ Oct 9 2018, 12:18 AM)
Kanasai, my note 9 come with qc2

Because it doesn't support QC version beyond that.

Ya ya we geddit, having super duper fast charging is amazing. But what to do if qualcomm or whatever the heck brand of fast charging decided to play hard to get? Just work around and slap a big ass battery lah, at least helps alot y'know? Leave it charge over night, it doesn't hurt to plug it in when you're resting or sleeping.

"Bla bla flagship need fasssst charging", poco is not a flagship, poco is a phone with decent 4000mah and decent charging speed. So teckyyang, maybe you will have more proper answers/replies if you  bring your vooc/qc5 6 7 8 desire to the correct section of thread wink.gif
*
I think you are not following the discussion? Teckyang was mentioning about RM2-3k phone without flagship charging performance. It's not referring to the Pocophone.

Very mild at the bottom. Only noticeable at dark environment.

I think it's because people have high expectations because they consider the Pocophone a premium flagship while it is in fact not. Screen bleeding/leaking is common in all LCD displays especially lower grade ones that use some form of backlighting to have the screen lit up however if the backlight interfere too much with the pixels or is too bright in certain corners of the screen then it can be considered a valid defect for RMA.
*
From my past experience, even flagship phones LCD also got such issues. HTC 10, XZ2, etc. But I must admit we rarely hear it from iPhone.

2 months passed still not yet fix their touch issue and so called LCD Bleed fix via Software Update  doh.gif
Dont need to be sarcastic, even MIUI9 Android 8 is not properly cooked, yet alone you expect what? Haha....
*
I doubt it can be fixed via software, if it's really screen bleed. It's a hardware imperfection, specifically LCD panel.

QUOTE(juneong @ Oct 31 2018, 12:18 PM)
do u mind showing ur screen bleed issue ?
we heart so many of it but I see none.
*
Switch off your light. Turn on your Poco screen and display some black colour, likely the bottom has slight brightness bleeding into the screen. An AMOLED screen will be perfectly dark. But then, even my XZ2 which was supposedly RM3k+ Sony has very slight bleeding. So far only iPhone LCD is less likely to have screen bleeding. But at that price...

QUOTE(Sigint @ Oct 31 2018, 06:56 PM)
Lol it's pretty apparent by design of their boxes, their Mi lineup have a white color and clean backdrop motif with a picture of the phone that is very similar to Apple's devices even down to the placement of the product information like specifications.

Heck, even their Mi Stores is modeled strikingly similar to Apple Stores in terms of store design and renovation, not to mention their founder and CEO dressed up like the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs during their product presentation on multiple occasions.  laugh.gif



Although Xiaomi don't really make their profits off selling their mobile devices with the exception of their home appliances, almost all of their devices including the Pocophone are sold at either no profit or at a loss. They recoup their cost and earn their dime through their own online Store and other services including ads. Selling phones and tablets is just a means to rope users into their platform.
*
It's an open secret that Xiaomi breathes Apple, especially the CEO. Unfortunately, they are still very far away from being Apple. Totally different mindset actually. One is the real deal, the other is an actor mimicking him.

btw even amoled also got complaint la, for example curve edge might cause some reflection and current happen in N9 n Mate 20 pro.
*
LOL! doh.gif

Oh...for edge, that is the physical property of light going through the edge. Nothing can be done except manually tune the gamma of the edges so that when it reflects straight to our eyes, the colour is correct. But then when you shift a bit of viewing angle, it lari again.

All Android devices value drop fast unless you somekind of limited edition or something like Mi 8 Explorer Edition then maybe can fetch price closer to RRP for used unit. Now with manufacturers like Apple, Huawei and Samsung already using the 7nm for their lithograph chipmaking process and Qualcomm very close to announcing the much improved next-gen Snapdragon 8150 as the new current gen flagship SoC, the 845 already feels old.

The mobile market and industry just moves too damn fast, this is why there are so few players actually designing their own hardware for their mobile devices, it's simply too costly and competitive that even Xiaomi is struggling or have kinda gave up on marketing their Surge SoC.
*
Not true. All Android device value drop fast but it's this first time it's so fast for a Samsung flagship. Mind you the Note 9 is barely 3 month-old. The Mi8 EE is not spared either. AP set was RM3.4k. Now 2.3k? sweat.gif

The best RV for Android is surprisingly, OnePlus. Not sure why. Maybe is the incremental half-year cycle.

hi, i wanna ask something.
Is there any difference between poco f1 and mix 3 in term of perfomance or any other feature that i didnt notice?

i dont mind the plastic body since im end up using cover anyways
*
IPS LCD vs HDR compatible AMOLED
NFC
Better camera
Not only the body material is different but the buttons too.

Whether all these worth RM1k+ upgrade or not, is really down to the individual.
