I actually ordered a Nillkin one from China, already arrived a couple days ago but it seems pretty hard. Not sure if it'll end up scratching the frame of the phone

That tends to happen when you added to cart but delay the payment for it.

Thanks bro. Now have to wait patiently for the phone to arrive

I think it's the grey though I can't be sure. Yesterday when they released the link I instantly clicked on Buy Now and just checked out. Didn't choose the colour or anything

I just went with the 6/128 bro. You know la, I won't keep the phone for long term so no point getting 256GB

I bought this one, but it’s made of hard plastic and kinda sharp around the edges. Bit worried it might scratch the phone’s aluminium frame

Yeah, I bought it for RM15 or so

Meanwhile, Xiaomi went and did this

If you can manage 128GB storage for a few years then ok lor...

Relax bro, this one will never be officially available here

Yeah, if you don't take lots of high resolution videos and photos, 64GB should be OK for normal users with not a lot of apps.

Does the EU ROM eliminates a lot of bloatware and ads from stock MIUI? Thinking of flashing that onto my F2 Pro.

Great. Thanks for the heads up

No, to be honest, I've never flashed any Android phone I've owned before, I just think it's too much of a hassle for a phone ownership, hahaha. Will find the online tutorials when the time comes. Anyways, I'll try the stock ROM for a week or two first.

Yeah, I'll try the stock one first and see how it goes.

Anyways, good thing is Mi is committed to keep the Poco F2 Pro updated, but hopefully they'll commit to a timeline

Doubt I will still be having the F2 Pro by the time it comes, hahaha....

Yup

Nice bro, congrats! Yeah, kinda expecting to get it next week

Thanks bro!

Chill bro, the delivery guy going around the taman delivering to other houses first, hahaha...

Not the same delivery fella for all units la bro

Edit: Mine has been delivered. Will get to unbox it when I reach home from the office later

Hahaha, yeah, unbox not inbox... Dem autocorrect

Since you tak main midrange phone I won't tag you bro...

I will eventually get that culture camera experience, fret not!

Yeah, I actually like the supplied case much better than the Nillkin frosted shield case that I bought so I'm using that instead now.

I think the lens should be pretty tough and won't scratch so easily but yeah, that said, a good lens protector that doesn't affect photo quality is a good idea too. Am leaving it as it is at the moment.

True that. I've never used any sort of protector for the camera lenses of all my devices before, so far all good - touch wood.

I would say my first few hours with this phone has been good. I don't miss the 90hz refresh rate screen of my Realme 6 at all! And the full screen experience with no notches and holes is just brilliant - missed that since my OP7 Pro.

For a SD865 device below RM2k, it definitely is! MIUI will be MIUI bro. For me it's tolerable, but it won't win any awards

Maybe I'm older and my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be, hahaha. But the difference between AMOLED and LCD is really noticeable for me this round. Previously not so noticeable when I used the LCD of the iPhone XR vs the AMOLED of other phones, haha...

I think the cheap Ringke copy for Poco would be Xundd or something like that. Saw quite a number on Shopee. For now I'll use the supplied case. Kinda like the rough feel at the back
