So you've already got the K30 Pro Zoom which is a better version of the Poco F2 Pro already, hahaha. If Xiaomi made the Redmi K-series available globally then there really is no need for this rebranding exercise, hahaha..

In terms of battery life, yeah, that's kinda expected for a 4700mAh battery. That's why my minimum requirement when getting an Android phone is a 4000mAh battery - Anything below that isn't great for heavy usage I'm currently using the Realme 6 with a 4300mAh battery, also getting an average about 10% battery usage per every hour of SOT - and considering it's a 90hz refresh rate screen, that's pretty good

Really? I thought last time most devs prefer to develop iOS apps. So they have turned side now don't they.


Agree. Kinda curious what is their intention with that kind of marketing approach.

90hz with 10% battery drain per hour, wow im really impressed! I think mine can survive 9hrs SOT more or less but I don't think all my previous phones can exceed 6hrs if they are given the same size of battery. And yeah 4000mah should be the minimum standard by now.

tat is yesteryears stories,
previously Android user cheapskate always sideload app

nowadays dev smart, they build IAP...
can earn more than sell the whole app
more sustainable, can sell monthly add-on feature

and if gv free also can earn from ads

I see. Then it's a good thing for android users. IAP is a smart move.

Fun fact: Cheapskates never die. Hahahahahahaha. I know a number of people who love to go to Starbucks every now and then but still refuse to pay android app that costs less than rm5.

Yeah, plus being indoors and using WiFi instead of LTE helps as well. I typically only use about 4-5 hours SOT in a day (anything more might constitute as antisocial behaviour, hahaha) but usage has increased a lot during the MCO. For me the acid test for phone battery is for it to be able to do 2 days (48 hours) standby and total of 10 hours SOT in that span. We call it the 10-hour SOT club, as founded by azhar75 For me so far, I've tested 5 phones that made it into that club: Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1, Realme 5, Samsung S10 Lite, iPhone 11 Pro Max and Realme 6

Sigh... Guilty as charged

Lol didn't know such club even exist, wish I could join that club someday but I don't think it's possible with my usage pattern 😭

yeah IAP is future.

Some developer even did the unethical move to adopt IAP.
One example is Cerberus security apps ( powerful ) which we paid for lifetime licence. End of last year, developer turned greedy and make the 'lifetime' license expired, and asked us to subscribe

Hmmm, so poco f1 not capable of joining 10 hours SOT club ? I can get 7 hours SOT on it, normal usage ( browsing website etc ) which are best so far in my smartphone life.

I've never tried the Poco F1 bro. Maybe our bro azhar75 can shed some light here?

F1 "barely" registered as 10 SoT Club:

Wow! Still considered made it to your 10 SoT club

So morale of the story, need to flash EU ROM for it to have better consumption?

Apparently, yes; becoz stock ROM is heavily having "nuisance activities" running in the background....

Ahh, OK. Looks like this EU ROM is quite a miracle worker then. Yeah, that's why I'm not a big fan of stock MIUI, lots of "nuisance activity" in the background as you put it

Because we can’t get enough of Pocos

M2 Pro pulak...

Semua nak jadi Pro susah lah macam ni... I wonder which model are they going to take after for rebranding.

That article mentioned could be a rebranding of the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Hahaha.. whatever rocks their boat

Missed the last paragraph .. Same move like f2 pro? Add support for LTE B20, have the Google play store preinstalled, change logo and model name, and lastly mark up the price 10% - 20%. Done. Here's the M2 Pro for all to enjoy. Yay.

It's their strategy to get rid off the SoCs/inventory quickly... By creating many sub-brands & models, buyers are fooled to believe there are "many" choices in the market.

Plus, by pushing the new so-called "model", they can put the SRP higher than the previous model launched 3 months ago, despite of identical internal components.

Hence, the breakdown of 100% inventory is :
25% inventory goes to Mi branding...
10% inventory goes to Blackshark branding...
40% inventory goes to Redmi branding...
25% inventory goes to Poco branding...

Therefore,
If Redmi series (launched 3 months ago) have outstanding inventory, just transfer the inventory to Poco account and sell at new or higher price.

Brother, that means our Malaysia set ROM (is it global ROM?) is totally different from EU ROM?

Can you explain more further in details and the different between our Malaysia set ROM and EU ROM?

Are the Mi browser, Mi player and all Mi related apps not pre-installed in EU ROM?

Maybe that's why my previous Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 battery was draining quite fast.

Its a group of devs deserve the credit here for bringing in the customised EU Rom. Not xiaomi for sticking the ads and bloatful apps in the phone lol.

Globat set?
