Anyone face camera issue? I was testing the phone in DirectD in 1U. But the camera is so slow to focus. I try to open the camera app, then quickly touch to focus and then quickly take a shot. It will freeze for few seconds before taking the photo. Delay 99. And not sure is it because of the lighting in the shop. The photo taken wasn't that good either.
On the way to the shop, I tested Nokia 7 and Zenfone 5z , it seems better. (not sure if it's related to screen or the lighting though)

QUOTE(Eiraku @ Aug 31 2018, 06:30 PM) The Poco auto mode doesn't like lowlight conditions (even slightly lowlight lol) that's probably why. It does kinda fine in manual mode though. Also, it's not entirely unfixable with updates so it might get better moving forward, and you can always go GoogleCam once a port is out (for a slight improvement). If you care more about photos I'd say the 5(z)'s wide angle shooter (and slightly better sensors/algorithms) is of better value... IF Asus actually gets to squashing out more of the firmware bugs. I mean, I don't like MIUI any more then the next Android snob (lol), but for sure it's more well built and stable then what Asus has in the 5(z) IMHO. But again, this is also fixable... if Asus cares enough to do it consistently. o... but when it reach to zenfone 5z. then it will match the price of Mi 8 already. which I guess have better camera?

QUOTE(Sigint @ Aug 31 2018, 06:56 PM) The Poco camera can barely match with even some midranger much less ZenFone 5z. You're buying the Pocophone F1 for it's flagship hardware, specifically it's Snapdragon 845 SoC which is considered the highest tier SoC for mobile devices in the market currently. If you want a phone that excel in photography capabilities as other premium flagships then you're looking at the wrong phone and maybe consider something like the Pixel 2, OnePlus 6, S9 or Note 9 instead.  I wonder why the phone company dont make a phone with P20 camera, >4000mah, SD card slot, mid range SOC, mid range screen, mid range build, mid range everything else. I would without hesitate dump my money in. Not everyone a mobile gamer... infact, I think if there's phone like that, it will sell like crazy This post has been edited by neo_6053: Aug 31 2018, 09:32 PM

QUOTE(Invince_Z @ Aug 31 2018, 09:53 PM) because the price will be > rm2.5K. where people would just opt for high end phone instead. personally, sd660 + 6gb ram + 64-128gb ufs rom + good camera with ois + 5kmah + amoled + sd slot + stereo speaker + audio jack + nfc + lightly tuned android os would be good deal. i dont mind plastic back cover. the frame and buttons must be metal though. your spec pretty much what I want too.  hmm.. maybe it will be under 2k, if Poco can do it with 1.2k. I dont think it will exceed 1.5k with that spec. Afterall, the most expensive part I guess is the soc. I could even live with LCD if they have good camera

Reask this after few days since more ppl got the phone now.  sorry Anyone face camera issue? I was testing the phone in DirectD in 1U. But the camera is so slow to focus. I try to open the camera app, then quickly touch to focus and then quickly take a shot. It will freeze for few seconds before taking the photo. Delay 3-4 seconds. And not sure is it because of the lighting in the shop. The photo taken wasn't that good either. On the way to the shop, I tested Nokia 7 and Zenfone 5z , it seems better. (not sure if it's related to screen or the lighting though)

Poco VS zenfone 5. both around RM1200 for 64GB. If I dont game at all and care about photo. Which should I choose?
I also think of Mi Note 3 and Vivo X20 which got similar 90 in dxomark. But both of them not available in Malaysia. Only imported set which dont have warranty from manufacturer. So, only can consider zenfone vs Poco
