How long does it normally take for Poco to reach msia, after such announcement in india, based on other models previously launched? Just roughly..
*
2 to 3 months I guess. Especially Mi 8 just launched here

NFC is necessary for future of cashless e-wallet society.

kinda like Samsung Pay that works almost everywhere because normal POS can read NFC
*
Haha, who uses Samsung Pay nowadays?
Better use Boost. Even mamak got Boost.

oh no... if no notch then i sure buy...
*
Yes.

Want small bezels but got notch = complain
Want big bezels with no notch = complain
Want small bezels and no notch but got moving mechanical camera = complain

Go get a life man.

If want small bezels + no notch + no moving camera parts = I think after 5 years OEMs able to research this phone out.

Does the frame made out of metal or plastic aswell...?
*
Basically whole phone is plastic except the screen.
You are basically buying the specs only for this phone.

If amoled was used instead of lcd, this poco really would be true flagship killer.
*
Then add RM400 to the cost of the phone.

After 3 years, huawei will come out a sub brand to aim at poor countries like African countries.
A sub brand like POCO with high end specs and low price.
Mark my word.

Will the camera suck???  hmm.gif

Of course it will. It lacks Mi 8 4-axis OIS.
If you can tolerate average camera. I think it is good to buy this phone.

Hopefully we get the base variant at RM1,199.
*
Confirm won't be cheaper than India.
Secondly, it won't want to kill Mi 8 series that just launched here a week ago.
Most probably RM1499 as based model.

i wonder what would be the differences between indian version and european version of pocophone?
*
Be careful of LTE bands not supported in malaysia. In other words, can't receive 4G+ speed.

Yups. Tried and satisfy with it. It works at the angle my iPhone X couldnt (my ipx had difficulties to detect my face when i lay down on bed).

Btw, i always prefer back button to be on the left side. Does anyone knows if miui allows customization to the navigation button?
*
Try check settings under full screen display. There is option to mirror the keys.

I saw some of mi8 users complaint about it. So only certain phone have that problem.

Those that have GPS issues are mostly China sets reflashed to Global ROM, Russian ROM or Europe ROM

If UI, I hate ColorOS the most, second is EMUI. Never tried Asus UI (dont know what it called) yet. I assume it's same with EMUI?
MIUI is almost perfect, I cant manually change the smallest width (dp) in developer options. Else perfect for me.
*
ColorOS is a total bullshit. UI like for standard 3 kids to use.
OPPO and Vivo should just go bankrupt.
Spamming the market with phones.
OPPO Realme? WTF is this shit. Released Realme 1 and then Realme 2 within 3 months.

With AI looks nicer. Wonder if this on par with Mi8 or less.

Later try night shots. Maybe people say a lot of noise and blurry.
