is not poco anymore if it doesnt use flashship processor and large battery.
the only reason ppl hype for poco, flaship processor, large battery, killer price.
maybe there will be 2 model in the future, poco x2 or x2 pro with latest processor.
but the pricing sure increase

Camera is better than F3 IMO

Can't really complain since the price really unbeatable during 2018.
I've take a look the latest poco f4, holy the giant poco text on the back lol.
And the chip performance, after 4 yrs it just jumps from SD845 10nm to SD870 7nm sweat.gif
Apple already using A15 5nm on their iphone SE sweat.gif , android really slow in catching up even after 4 years.
I think this year the iphone 2022 will enter 3nm.

If me were Tim Team Apple , me will acquire TSMC and laughs so hard in front of other manufacturers...

It's basically can't happen, even Apple wanted to.
Taiwan won’t want to lose TSMC and China won’t want US to have own 5nm chip fabrication technology.
Apple also can’t buy Samsung (the only company other than TSMC with 5nm fabrication capability) either because of the same reason (South Korea won’t let it).

Really regret flashing Pixel experience android 12
1. Dial for MMI code will not work, example checking credit etc *126#, only work 1 or 2 times after that only show error message.
2. if login using PIN will need to click next button even after you fill up the correct PIN.
3. Bad battery life compare to stock rom, just horrible.
4. Can't switch navigation for back button position.
5. Root will require extra steps, *saw many failed and will remove support for OTA
6. Freaking huge search bar at the bottom of the home screen that you can't remove unless you change launcher, wtf!
7. The battery percentage and icon takes up sooo much space end up hid the cell phone signal.
9. Click the phone, the dial pad will always minimize, have to click to popup.

I just don't understand after so many years, a simple UX stuff they still couldn't get it right.
I end up revert back to Stock rom, debloat most of the bloatware and Root it. Installed AdAway, Magisk etc. Took me one whole day to setup my phone again, to the pre-PE status.
I'm very happy now.

I was actually getting ready to unlock bootloader n going to flash this PE ROM.
Really so bad?. Looks like no go for me.
Thx for the heads-up. Any other custom rom u recommend?.

The biggest issue is the battery life, it is way worst compare to stock rom.
The PE feel snappier, I think is just the animation illusion that makes you feel faster.
You can just set the ur stock rom animation to .5x, you will feel ur phone is flying.
Im not using custom rom after tried PE it gave me PTSD, already back to stock rom.
Just remove most of the bloatware you will see huge improvement for ur battery life.
no root require.

Any good stable custom rom for daily driver?. Poco no more official update. Need to give this work horse a new least of life.

it depends ur prefrence. MIUI or Custom based rom.
From xda, xiaomi eu and crDroid are recommended by the community.
Im not sure about the sot etc, you can check their dedicated thread for review.
Do share ur experience here if you decided to go for it.

EU ROM is always the best for all and any See-How-Me devices....

One thing im not clear about eu rom is their updates, i know they update their rom weekly.
How do you get updates? Need to manually download to flash every week? or via OTA?
If ur rom rooted need to refresh weekly?
