so if i'm just looking for a phone for pure speed as a work phone. taking calls, pictures of product display, whatsapp, gmail & outlook app. is it a good phone?
i hear the picture quality isn't the greatest but good enough. i also hear it has issues to play HD content especially videos.

QUOTE(soulseeker6187 @ Dec 7 2018, 10:43 PM) This phone definitely a workhorse. Camera is quite good, not as bad as people say, install gcam for better picture. No problem play hd content on youtube only drm protected like netflix and amazon prime videos, coz need widevine L1, xiaomi said they will update it in the future. yeah basically looking for workhorse phone. so speed between the usual business apps like messenger and email is priority. whatsapp, line, wechat, skype, outlook, gmail. plus it would be nice if the camera app doesn't hang (it has been sometime since my experience with android & samsung) but last time always camera app hang. very troublesome as need to take pictures during market visit the thing hang then need to hard reset by taking out the battery.

QUOTE(freakenstein @ Dec 8 2018, 12:09 AM) There are quite a few users reported that fast typing has issues/touchscreen , if you happen to get a unit that has it and you can bear with the minor gripe , sure go ahead. Camera quality wise you WILL notice a difference if you're coming from a flagship Galaxy line. Though speed will be a whole lot faster. I've been using mine for almost a month now , and I have a lot of accounts synced to my phone , at least 10 games installed , facebook , instagram. Lasts me a solid 6hours SOT most if not all the time. Still trying to optimize my battery life , seeing how a lot of people can easily get 8 hours SOT out of a full charge. i'm an ifag....so kinda used to fast typing smoothness was using galaxy line until ip6

So if it still persists after the update, then we'll know it's a hardware issue and you should go for another phone instead. oic, it runs xiaomi muiui? QUOTE(wai57 @ Dec 8 2018, 03:56 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Never once poco hanged on me. App switching between these messaging apps is lightning fast and smooth, confirm suit you. I take pictures moderately, play simple games, and only watch video heavily. Everything is fine. Typing is not as good as other phones, but i get used to it and itll be fine. I am still able to type fast on this phone, but with a little more (just a little bit more) wrong words compared to using my old phones. thanks for the review. wrong words meaning the type speed and pickup is fine. except maybe instead of S it gives u an A? not that it jitters?

QUOTE(saitong09 @ Dec 9 2018, 11:28 PM) op6 much more expensive than poco ouch QUOTE(wai57 @ Dec 10 2018, 08:32 AM) Yeah, sometimes it picks up the nearby alphabet easily when your finger hover over it. Also, since I'm a messy typer, I rely heavily on SwiftKey to learn all my movements and predict my words for me. It doesn't jitters, and if you are an accurate typer. Then you have nothing to worry about. oic....my previous experience with galaxy's is the jittering/lagging effect
