Lol, if Xiaomi keep on saying wan kill flagship, won't they be killing their flagship mi8 and mi mix series??

Anyway, sorry to hijack, why do you recommend Asus phones. What's the good choice from Asus now and why? Are they as bang for the buck? Sorry ah, I don't really follow Asus phones, but last time was interested in their earlier zenfones

Well, OnePlus can always come up with OnePlus XX (OnePlus X in 2015) if they wanna capture POCO market...

But opX was more like a cheaper budget version with tone down specs. How to compete with a phone that max out their specs somewhat.

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?

Last time my redmi phone can choose the button orientation one leh..

But now one dunno can or not. Maybe Poco launcher don't let

The differences between them is just outlook design and built quality?  :confused:

And camera.

Built quality is debatable. Obviously mi8 is solid based on reviews, but Poco is still new. Who knows where else they would cut corners. But since it's by Xiaomi, I think it should be decent.

But when people say built quality, it's probably just the feeling of plastic Vs metal or glass. But if you're gonna slap on a cover, then it doesn't matter.

Oya, forgot about the screen. Mi8 amoled is definitely better than ips on the Poco.

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.

+1 for the flagship point. Frankly, this phone is NOT a flagship killer and good on Xiaomi for not promoting it that way. Flagship means top of every aspect, and this phone just gives the experience of one of the aspects of a flagship.

This phone, is a midrange killer.. it kill all other midrangers..

Look, anyone who is interested in buying a flagship is already looking at ipX, Samsung note 9 or even the pixel. They want the best of everything. Phones that can make them then their heads are those like op6, Huawei mate or p20, or maybe even mi mix2s. Their budget is thereabouts and no way they gonna look at pocophone..

But for the midrange segments.. who in the world is gonna buy those midrange Snapdragon 625, 660 when you can get an 845 for the same price, or at least top up a little. Best bang for buck phone of 2018..

Those anti miui one ah, what are the reasons they hate miui?

I really considering go back to Xiaomi, but so many ppl hate miui, I'm concerned. Frankly, last time when I use Xiaomi, it started to lag after awhile. But that was the original redmi phone, and it was dirt cheap..

I am a EMUI user and I'm fine with it.
