QUOTE(Wan @ Aug 15 2020, 07:19 PM) Wanted to unlock the bootloader and install the xiaomi eu rom or global eu rom, but had to wait 168 hours. Jilaka betui. Tak tahan with the battery life when on data. My phone is awake all the time even when the screen is off. No such problem if I use wifi. So I disabled Miui optimization. Give permissions to Google apps those that I can find. Uninstall a bunch of apps I hardly use. And so far so good.. Hope it stays this way. 12.0.1.0(QJKMIXM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « u must be at some where very poor connection ? or it keep flipping from 3g-4g ? |

Anyone using their Poco with VoLTE turned on? How's the setting permanent or will it auto turn off after some time? Mine need to restart and re-enable again today, now I'm worry if this need to trigger once in a while or not.. later if no VoLTE when I'm not LTE only setting, I won't receive incoming call.

My Short Review of POCO F2 Pro  Interface - 10/10- It was clean and neat and closed to Google Stock UI.
- The App Drawer default setting is a bit crowded due to the not very useful App Categories, after disable it, now it looks nice.
- Thanks to Customize Layout is able change icon size from M to S as M is way too big and make the screen look crowded as well.
- The status bar have new control center which I find it looks much modern and I much prefer this, off course you can disable it to return to more Android origin UI look. This new control center only available after upgrade phone to MIUI 12 and did not turn on by default.
- Google Discovery at Side Info is always a plus! None of the manufacturer did any useful Side Info beside Google.
Performance - 9/10- Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 is power horse - I had nothing to complain for the performance from casual use to gaming.
- Signal finally is awesome! My nightmare on my previous phone - Samsung Galaxy Note10+ which using Exynos finally gone!
 - The only slightly cons is the smoothness cannot beat those using 90hz or 120hz screen. I had play some 90hz or 120hz screen, it is good to have but not a must, some reviewer just over exaggerate this feature. But still have it is advantage, this the reason I give performance 9 out of 10.
Screen - 9/10- I love how Xiaomi tune it, I find the Color Scheme Auto with Color Temperature Warm just simply perfect. Not over saturation and not too blueish as well. Also the screen had a very perfect Grey Uniformity using the test pattern found at YouTube.
- Full Screen - always welcome than punch hole. Perfection here. Even though the resolution is only FHD+ but in such screen size, they is really no differences the screen go for higher resolution where Samsung recently also set default screen as FHD+ instead of QHD+.
- The HDR performance here is very well done and awesome. Nothing to complain here.
- Flat screen do look nice in movie and gaming and better operation the phone but I am fans of curve screen as it look much pretty. This is the reason 1 score is reduce from here. Haha!
Sound Quality - 10/10- I am shock and freaking happy to know this phone can run LDAC at Optimized for audio quality (990kbps). My previous Samsung Galaxy Note10+ which cost double than this phone can only run at Balanced audio and connection quality (660kbps), if higher up the sound will breaking every few seconds! What a shame! on Samsung!!!
- The back of 3.5mm jack is always welcome, sometimes your Bluetooth TWS or Wireless Headset is out of battery then 3.5mm jack is very useful.
Loud Speaker - 5/10- Even though it is quite loud but they is totally no bass at all. Not bad but definitely can be better, and much better if it is dual speaker.
Camera - 8/10- If I said this camera is better than Samsung Galaxy Note10+, then I am definitely lying. Haha! It was good and usable but not in freaking awesome range, but the Super Macro do add some points here, it is unbelievable great to have it in a mobile.
Others & Overall Scores - 8/10- Battery - 4700mAH is big enough for a day or 1.5 days usage. No complain on this.
- Charging - it may not the faster but it is fast enough! No complain here as well. The down side is no wireless charging even though I am not using it but having it is a plus as you probably can use reverse charging during urgency, especially they is no cable or plug to be found time.
- GPS - very fast, accurate and no complain here.
- Heat - I never feel any heat issue here.
- On Screen Fingerprint - compare with Samsung, it is like staying at Heaven v/s Hell where Samsung is Hell here. Haha!
- Design - It looks absolutely gorgeous! Plus point by using matte look surface at back and also the arrangement of the camera is something different than others and nice! The combination material use make this phone look as premium as others flagship phone.

These few years, DirectD had changed their model from competitive low price to selling at full official RRP with occasional discount. This post has been edited by msacras: Aug 16 2020, 04:41 PM |

Pop up never have but some still hidden inside the stock apps like File Manager and Mi Video. My sister old Xiaomi phone or my previous one cannot turn off all. That the reason I leave Xiaomi last time. This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Aug 17 2020, 09:59 AM |

Mind tell us more why you’re avoiding glass? One reason I made the decision of POCO over Mi10 (apart from the RM300 saving, LOL) is the flat screen. It’s a godsend to have a flatscreen for phone, makes finding tempered glass so so much easier. |
