To be fair, GG isn't ONLY about the scratch proof-ness, you know. It also contributes to the rigidity of the phone... which - considering the recent teardown from Xiaomi themselves - the Poco is gonna NEED from the GG as it looks like the plastic back panel is also much of what makes the surrounding frame of the phone.



On that end though GG 3 is actually more resistant to shattering/ breaking then the GG 4 (but less resistant to scratches) so it's kinda a decent trade off.

Hopefully it provides enough rigidity for normal, non-abusive use though.

wrong! gg3 and below basically didnt hv shatter resistance.
basically it is useless....

gg4 come out after they found out the majority of screen damage is due to impact.

no wonder wifey phone dropped on concrete n road nothing happens coz got CC#4 plus SP

Apa nak gaduh2 pesal GG3 or whatnot. With the price you pay, considered it value for what you pay what. Kalau nak better protection, then go for the more pricier Mi phones lah.

lol
rm1.2k phone
why make things so complicated.

why not? This is tech discussion forum, should encourage people to discuss complicated things.
if u want to casually discuss about non specific phone, there is better section out there. Stop discouraging people from talking about complicated technical things.

What he is trying to say is, at that price people need to set their expectations right. You can't expect to pay for Proton price and expect to get a Ferrari. Something like that. Then again, we can always demand more. Sometimes manufacturers will listen and then add in features that are most requested. That is how they improved. It is this kind of push that made technology move forward. Regardless, this Pocophone is a market disruptor and it definitely will shake the industry like how Mi Mix started the bezelless trend or Apple with the notch trend.

with its pricing, not really that surprise..
cheaper by almost 1k compare to oneplus 6

for better quality of flagship killer, go oneplus
for flagship killer's killer, go poco

Discussion is fine.

But it starts to become a joke when people start to nitpick every single detail for a phone which offers you so much.

You pay for what you get.

I don't see Apple users demand as much for iPhone X for the price they paid compared to this thread itself.

If you want to demand so much, there are better phones out there. Just make sure your wallet comes along with it.

when i read no omoooomoclopic coating i lol oso

btw i jus wanna advise u guyz,
dont fall into hype!
if u phone still new and less than a year, keep it!
phone evolved very fast,
every 3months got new model.
every 1years got new processor.

Orly? My bad then if true.

But yeah, people only nitpick because folks (not here yer) often compare the thing with phones twice or three time it's price lol - so the nitpicking is only fair.

I mean, you can't go "hur dur flagships are gonna die" and then pull back with "hey don't expect the world when it's priced like this" at your convenience when people point out shortcomings lol.

In short, it is what it is, a budget build phone with killer specs and a killer price. That much it true and is pretty much unquestionable. As is the compromises needed for it to be what it is.

On another note, Xiaomi not officially bringing the 8/256GB Armored out of India is totally not cool TBH... especially if its simply to protect sales of the Mi8.

Bcoz apple user want status only
They also dunno that android user can read deleted msg in wasap
Kutuk2 then deleted... Lolzzz.. pity apple user

imo plastic phone is more superior in many ways, such as drop protection. my lg g4 still standing strong after numerous drop, bought uag and spigen case for protection in the end ditch both as it add bulkiness and troublesome whenever want to change battery.

in other hand, my p20, with glass doesn't feel premium when need to put case all the time, glass only can be seen not touch is kinda a waste. even tho the trend is glass all the way, I still want a flagship in plastic. maybe just in my dream, until poco come out. haha.

And the worst is iphone can't send pdf files using WhatsApp. Fainted....

So tomorrow where to buy this popcorn phone?
