So I flashed the xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 stable rom. It's kinda cool. Quite similar with the global MIUI 12 but with no ads. Only on the June security patch tho.

The unlocking and flashing process was smooth. Was worried about twrp boot loop but it didn't happen.

Will play around with it for a while. One thing I like is the gesture bar to switch between apps quicker.

AP set.

But... although UI runs well, apps do suffered occasion frame drop, to the point it's abit sluggish. Happened on scrolling through browser, IG, Reddit and some third party apps which never the case on MIUI 11.

I see, maybe the wallpaper are too SUPER. 

Will try revert back to my standard live wallpaper see how.

I placed order on Gamers Hideout website yesterday for Poco F2 Pro, and today they called me their sealed unit already sold out. They offered me either to cancel order and proceed to refund or change to Demo Set which come with same 1 year warranty by them without any additional discount. Anybody else having same situation? After reaching some friends, there's few cases where GH doing things like this before, but I can't find any source to it.

yeah, that's suck. but i still get it.
Purchased Oneplus 7 Pro from them before no problem..
yeah, can't help about that.. sometimes their offer is too hard to resist.. haha

Hi...anything that need to take into considering when picking either k30 pro or pF2 pro. From my reading both sama aje kan?

i'm thinking want to get the 256GB since it don't have memory card slot, is maxis good place to get?

Noted, so would F2pro would also come out with the Zoom option in future? Thanks

Doubt it coz if they wanted to, they should have rebranded the K30 Pro Zoom instead of the non-Zoom.

yeah that one.
Idk, even I ask for picture they send me this

haha they leave me no space to complaint at all.. from the way they talk they don't even care if I want the demo or not.. I end up just agree for demo as long as the warranty is same like new set.

Poco has rebranded enough Redmi phones.

I do think they don't even hire any designer at all, save alot of cost.

Kinda, I got no android phone now. I need to get companion for my Iphone SE.
That's the hard part, I'm not around the shop to do that. Maybe you can be my wakil go.

I rarely use both ios and android at same time, the reason I frequently use Backuptrans and Dr.Fone for whatsapp migration between both os.
After Oneplus Nord announced and I watched reviews, then I decided I'll skip Nord and get Poco F2 Pro instead.
Been using Iphone SE 2020 so far is very good experience other than battery performance, so Poco will be the deal breaker if I'll stick to ios or android.

Hahaha....lmao. You mean a gunbattle showdown? attw is a real cowboy no doubt...

You are a #man_of_culture cowboy...

I'm slowing down too.. as recently not much phone get ny attention and also PKP thing happening.. So I tend to use phone longer than usual.. just like you said.. some brand already off from my radar like samsung with exynos and huawei without gms..
OP8 already old story.. from OP8 i change to OP7T Pro for fullscreen and 2k display.. then sold 7T Pro off due to chrome freezing for no reason many times.. now using iphone se..

Hahaha, yeah, same. I usually sell off my older phones once I get a new one, unless I don't like the new one then I will sell that off and go back to the old one, just as I did this round when I sold off the Poco F2 Pro to go back to using Realme 6
Hahaha, no la, I think our bro more hardcore than me. I've slowed down a bit coz there's not many phones I'm interested in these days. I no longer want to try Samsung phones with Exynos, can't stand MIUI and won't buy Huawei phones without GMS, hahaha..

Haha... Still waiting for him to buy the OP8 Pro and his pictures
...

Unless it's a used set bro... If not hard to get new below rm1k.

The target is 2k for 8, and 3k for 8 Pro. I will not waiver
OP8 Pro AP sets is about RM400 cheaper now... Just another RM300 to go - and it seems like 8T may be around the corner already

Hahaha, I’m in no hurry, besides, given the current climate the phone makers need buyers more than we need them

Yeah, especially with the pandemic, everyone’s had a pretty bad Q2 in terms of smartphone sales - except Apple (shocker!)

Looks like their iPhone SE strategy really paid off...

don't forget 865 prices increase and next year 875 prices increase even higher after huawei kena ban and sign usd1.8b new deal with qualcomm.

Yeah, and they announced on the same day OP announced the 8 and 8 Pro, haha... Anyways, let's see if we'll know the Nord's price by today or tomorrow

Doubt it, hahaha. Anyway, still no news on the official pricing but the mystery boxes have sold out

Poco has reacted with a price cut

Interestingly there is no announcement on the 6/128 variant. RRP was 2199, so perhaps the promo price 1999 might now be permanent.

Right on cue, it's on flash sale today for RM1,929

Yeah, a lot of Poco fans still stuck at the "Poco should be RM1,200 price range" mentality
