If you want to buy with commitment..buy using Credit card..or find installment with lazada..

Android tend to price plunged every months..after contract ends not worth it..

Hmm..is zerolution got protection like celcom?..like against liquid damage or snatch theft?..may be can consider..

totally own is rm1488, it's 6GB and 128GB, which similar price same as outside selling, and plus i currently i'm using 98 which good enough for me. the phone protection need to pay rm24 monthly with 3 months trial free, which i think i won't go for that.

Yes, only few of us who got lemon unit.

i found out that the yellowish happen when under LED light. under camera setting -> Manual -> choose WB ->choose the fluorescent icon. just a quick fix for me.

a lot ppl said , that yellowish is common thing when under some light situation, don't know whether true or not.

I can guarantee you that those people never see what is good pocophone camera look like when shot in same condition. I had compare it with those good ones, their picture absolutely fine without yellow or blue tint. Search my post, there was a pic I compared it side by side.

bro, you have really serious yellowish issue there. mine just adjust the phone abit the yellowish will be gone so mine one issue not a big issue. and sometime it yellowish won't appear for some reason. Your one like permanent no matter how you move the phone around. Did your poco send back to warranty. take few pictures and recording as a proof.

Mine OK all condition except it only appear at certain florescent lighting, When it in my house dining room, the tint will dissapear when i move it around, but inside my plant (special floor color+florescent light), it will make the tint seems like permanent, oh one more thing, if you try it in those meeting room using projector, it will appear blue.
For outdoor(day or night), indoor white LED has totally no issue.

If you see your yellowish tint appear, move your hand towards middle of the image and it changes to normal color, then u and me have the same problem.

The thing i wanna point out is that not all poco has this issue. I had done tons of research on net and kept searching for who people having this issue in MIUI forum..so far no solution. I know what whitebalance to choose too , the 4200 to 4400 will make it more acceptable but it doesn't represent the real color(the real color will be the one when you move you hand to middle of it or use the front facing camera).

There are even miui team members tried to convince people by telling that camera tint due to fluorescent light magnetic ballast yadayada.... Thats where i got curious and go compare it with a friend whose also has a pocophone. We having same setting (no AI, reset default) and same firmware, only mine got the weird tint issue.

Will i RMA it? Yes... but not until i got another replacement phone.

confirm, your issue same as me but not always happen even in LED environment.

i've always used Ringke, very solid and protective case. it's not SP, it's a normal tempered glass from the xiaomi official store, bought together with phone
i can't tell you i dropped my previous huawei p9 with ringke case how many times, all no problem tongue.gif
*
that's what i like, drop few times, still no problem. what i like most is the case i higher then the screen/SP. i always face my screen poco to down side.

Anyone can review spigen with picture?thx

Check whether any behind got run any services that should not necessary to be run. For me brightness set half is more then enough.use your battery till 0% -> 100%>0%, it should be reset or recycle your battery capacity cache.

urm, in my current iphone 7 plus, i only can afford installing Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Pirate Kings, Mobile Legends, & Zynga Poker, don't even had a chance to install PUBG Mobile as I have less than 6GB to move around with.
I was forced to go iOS due to my Note 7 got recalled, so I'm more to Android kind of person, but looking at Note 9 having a promo at 2,699 at certain stores, its quite hard to decide within One Plus 6T, Note 9 and F1.

And I hate alot typo in iOS, does it occur on F1 ? I think Samsung's keyboard are quite smart when it comes to typing our laksa language.
I do not mind in terms of cabling, as once I bought a new phone, most likely will give a proprietary charger and charging cable from it. Yes, so far I'm trying to only leeching on Free Apps on Play Store, since Apple's iOS mostly are paid apps.

I've been using Android for quite some time, beside iPhone 3GS and this iPhone 7 Plus, had been only Note 2 for the longest time, followed by short period of Zenfone 2 then Note 7 (which I think is killer beast but got recalled). And I having alot charging issues with iPhone, where this accessory is not supported, even I bought like RM99 worth of Cables.

Was looking at Linustechtips's video on modding Pocophone F1 somehow interests me. I wish to have an expandable storage and much bigger internal storage so that I can do more photo and video, I'm not sure I'm looking at the correct devices here but yeah. And I do enjoy gaming as well as testing bunch of new apps with no sluggishness.

Perhaps my 2 cents, can let you guys to enlighten me is it good to for F1 or not?

Thanks alot.

i also before compare with my friend's phone with One+6, Note 9, Huawei phone and some flagship phone that are currently in market, so i ask my self what will i'm going to use mostly for the phone. well, mostly is some snap photo,video recording , whatapps, facebook, youtube, browser, teamviewer (for quick access for my work if needed or when laptop not with me), other feature like NFC, IP rating, AMOLED screen or etc i'm not so into it. I'm only bother the processor & battery because i'm gaming alot. And because of that i also need QC feature. So for me, i think it's sufficient that poco F1 is the right choice for me, not to mention the pricing is soo attractive. For your information, i'm previous redmi note 4G user.

So you have to ask yourself what you will need from the phone or what will going to use from the phone. The best is do some research for your own, there might be some features that not included in poco. Read the review and do some comparison. We poco user, always welcome you to join the poco family.

mobile data. It consume lots of power, especially when he stream. Worse if signal wasnt good.

no wonder. one day i will try to test 4G + youtube streaming to see the result.
QUOTE(kucingfight @ Dec 27 2018, 11:45 AM)
I'm on around 9hr SOT

I'm a conservative user, so i like to drag it long. Mostly on wifi, Airplane mode on Except (8am-6pm). screen dim just comfy for my eyes. able to stretch to 2days usage. mainly youtube, movie watching, FB. no gaming

Nice sot there man. I'm impress.
