QUOTE(GOPI56 @ Aug 24 2018, 12:28 AM) Are the pictures shot using Dslr camera instead of the phone camera like the recent Huawei scandal? For the untrained eye, most wouldn't even be able to differentiate a 20mp photo and a DSLR. And you wouldn't even mind with the quality of photos nowadays being highly acceptable in good lightning conditions. But these companies wanna top one another. In the end resorting to fake advertisement misleading consumers. Not sure how they justify losing consumer confidence in their brand when exposed. |

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Aug 26 2018, 04:07 PM) actually aldy regret last time didnt grab 5z (6/128gb) at rm1699. rather than now waiting for this cutthroat poco (6/64) 1599 Ahaks.. You really bringing an Asus phone into this conversation? My Asus Zenfone 5 2013 died on me within the first month. My dad refuse to listen to me and got one 5z after getting recommendation from his friend last month, the phone couldn't connect to Wifi after the first week. Kept restarting after 2 weeks. You have no idea how much a faulty phone can frustrate an old man. He sold the phone at a loss and now using my stone age Note 3 and swore never an ASUS anymore. So yes. Asus is cutthroat I agree. |

QUOTE(MorningBoyz @ Aug 27 2018, 04:34 PM) Lol....given legit price and legit source...still don't believe and suspect. Lol. Some people just don't want to put in the effort to find sources. Worse, come in with the worst intention to belittle the product. When proven wrong, find new excuse. Nobody asks you to stay on the thread if you feel the product is bad. But then of course there are people who are salty cause they suddenly realize the phone they bought is inferior for the price they paid.  |

QUOTE(MorningBoyz @ Aug 26 2018, 11:46 PM) Don't be surprise of Poco F1 priced at RM12xx. If you remember by right Mi8 official price from direct convert is Rm16xx but Mi Malaysia sell it way below that price. So just finger cross and wait for official price announce. Give this man a medal. Predicted the price. So how? Pretty much a decent pricing for what it is offering. Not far from what the international market. |

QUOTE(Muscabee @ Aug 29 2018, 05:46 PM) 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.  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. |

QUOTE(zeliustitan @ Aug 30 2018, 03:58 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Just got Mi8 during the launch. Already aware of POCO but didnt expect it to come so soon.
the release of Mi A2, Mi8 and POCO are too close from each other. EIN might suffer if they overbook the devices but who cares.
Since i got my Mi8, no point turning back la.
The only different between Mi8 and POCO i see are :
- AMOLED vs IPS screen (doesnt matter for me either but AMOLED much brighter la)
- 3600mAH vs 4000mAH (POCO won this part, just cannot brain why Mi8 dont put 4000mAH like RN5)
- 1899 vs 1429 (POCO cheaper)
- Dual GPS vs normal GPS (Not really sure how good is Dual GPS on Mi8)
-Steel back cover vs plastic cover. (not sure)
- No cooling system vs water cooling
Anyway, i managed to get the Amazfit BIP when purchase Mi8 la. The price was RM279.
So the phone is RM1620 + amazfit RM279 = RM1899
So my phone price and the POCO is difference by RM191 only, not so hurt la unless i don get the amazfit bip. LOL. I got AMOLED Screen and Steel back cover except the battery capacity and the water cooling. I guess steel back cover could dissipate the heat as efficient as water cooling thingy.
Anyway, my next phone would be 12GB RAM + 256GB ROM/512GB ROM in couple of years...
Used to have GPS prob which my Google map and waze dont work.. After reboot the Mi8, the problem gone.  I guess for Mi8 users, it is quite a pain to admit and find ways to justify the higher price to pay for a so called "flagship" when Poco does not differ that much while providing much better value with some practical upgrades like battery life. |
