Actually I just made the argument in the OP Nord thread that hardware wise, the Poco is hard to beat in terms of value for money. Just the software may not be to everyone's taste biggrin.gif

Can't deny I hold the very same opinion as well. Except that I'm growing to like miui more and more lol 😅 (eu version, can't say the same for Chinese version)

Yeah, the EU ROM is more tolerable and Xiaomi should really make it easier (minus the wait) to flash laugh.gif

Ya. Average consumer would definitely appreciate more if xiaomi could just take out the ads by default 😭.

So that means Global ROM will easily get OTA update? And I assume it's not hard to flash from CHINA to Global ROM
*
By default, China ROM (QJKCNXM) is for Redmi k30 pro and zoom edition while Global (QJKMIXM) and EEA (QJKEUXM) ROM are for Poco F2 Pro.

Any of these phones can be cross-flash with any of these firmwares, as long as you don't relock bootloader you should be fine (locking bootloader might hardbrick the device if flashed different rom from the stock).

Global ROM stable update is somewhat slower. So far from the day poco f2 pro was released, iinm, only one update was made available (well its only been two months).

On the other hand, China ROM gets stable update at least a month, sometimes twice.

Forget China and global or EEA ROM, just get the EU ROM if u r planning to flash anyway. No frigging ads and less bloatware.

I thought its very common for Miui?  hmm.gif

EU rom is a modded ROM based on China build. 100% ads free. Perhaps the modders are from scandinavian/European countries, hence the EU label.

The official rom made for European countries (or so) is called EEA rom. That one got ads, just like the global rom I think.

haha..put iphone aside la for now..need to migrate everything to poco now..

wanna ask.. now using global rom miui12.. read somewhere mentioned global rom got ads and some app like dialer/message different.. some recommend EU rom.. why?
*
Can't recall anything about the miui/Google app dialer/message issue sweat.gif. As for eu rom, the real benefits are ads-free, less bloated, frequent updates from China based rom which then converted to eu rom, and somewhat system optimised which I can't really tell.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Aug 6 2020, 09:57 PM)
Many recommend EU rom because it's ad free. Even global rom is riddled with ads. You dont want ads popping out in your homescreen do you ? tongue.gif
*
Talking about ads, damn open lazada got note 20 ultra exynos sh!t pre order on the main page. That one no need for Xiaomi ads to advertise 😆

QUOTE(attw @ Aug 6 2020, 10:19 PM)
Again, that won’t happen la, unless you accidentally installed some sketchy app.

I will say for RM1799, given the specs of the phone you are getting in terms of the hardware, the minor inconveniences or annoyance caused by the apps is tolerable. Heck, you could get two Poco F2 Pros for the price of one Samsung Note 20 - and then you can watch the Poco run circles around the Note laugh.gif

Can't tell how long samseng plans to dump all those poorly performed proc to our market 😓.

Hati tak tenang, so while at Penang last Hari Raya Haji go cari Maxis Centre and get one Poco F2 Pro. So far battery life when not using wifi not so great for me. Maybe need to factory reset back and test. On wifi battery life is great. 10% drain per hour + -.

Coming from Poco F1 and was using LineageOS(only use EU rom beforehand this) for a week or so before I get this F2, can really feel something off with MIUI. I hate this ROM. When expected custom rom to appear?

And guys where can install screen protector in Subang/PJ/Shah Alam area? My hand gigil so installing myself is out of the question lulz.

Not anytime soon. Iinm I read somewhere saying that the device kernel tree (camera part) for this device from xiaomi is incomplete. Some devs are working on it and dunno how long it will take.

Though I have to say the seller is kind new and a little dubious (the shop name clash with old name of DirectD - GadgetVelocitySolution).

Maybe 1 of directd many names. Same owner different name.

Ya the seller seems genuine and legit to me.

Yeah, the reality is that used ones are now probably worth 1.5k? That's gonna be tough to swallow biggrin.gif
Yeah bro, as stated, OS or rather UI is very subjective. Different people have different preferences.

I remember u mentioned this so many times before. Its just that its really hard to find people who'd prefer miui over oos/aosp. 😆

True. Overnight drain kinda fluctuate. On the other hand, standby drain during the day wipes the floor with exynos 😆.

mostly the deal will appear again in future..

Highly likely.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Aug 10 2020, 04:29 PM)
Ah... Just another 2 weeks bro. Some seller already mentioned it would be available on the 24/8.

2 more weeks.  nod.gif

But saying that, the pricing of the Pogo really killed it this round.
*
I bet some who get pogo instead will curse a tad slow update and lackluster custom rom development. And what not, miyuyiyuyi 🤣

honest i dont find xiomi poor in update or features, i think i opposite as they over do ...

The first global update was a month and a half after released. So some might find this is a bit difficult to accept. On the contrary the second one is coming within the next few days and I think this would change the impression for some. As an eu rom user, this has never become an issue to me.

Feature wise, only very minor issue otherwise no complaint at all.
