Bro....do u think it is worthwhile to get poco F2 pro for RM1999? Im currently using Honor View 20 and it is still very fast and serving me well. I dont play games at all...

Have you tried MIUI and if yes, are you comfortable with it? That's the key point. For RM1999, it's easy to recommend the Poco F2 Pro as a phone but there are some things you'll need to get used to.

I shared a little bit of my experience with the phone here, but as it always is with reviews, mileage may vary for other users smile.gif

wanna ask K30 Pro 变焦版 in china is Poco F2 Pro Zoom edition?
*
Poco F2 Pro got no Zoom edition - at least not as far as I'm aware! The Poco F2 Pro is a rebranded K30 Pro (not Zoom edition).

Thanks for your honest review. I have never owned a MIUI phone before. I only owned 3 huawei phones as im comfortable with EMUI. However my future phone wont be a huawei due to lack of google play store. Poco F2 pro is quite ideal but i wont rush into buying coz my current phone is still good for me.
*
Unfortunately, there is no way to know if MIUI suits you or not till you try it biggrin.gif But if you're comfortable with EMUI, I'd imagine you'd be able to adjust to MIUI fairly easy. If you're in no rush then just wait it out, the price will drop further. In fact, I saw it going for RM1,949 on Lazada last night - official MY set.

Is lack of security updates for android phone a problem after 2-3years? Anyone?

Troublesome to transfer WhatsApp messages and data each time to new phone. That's why I'm thinking of iPhone se, I got a Samsung tablet too
*
Depends on the phone maker. OnePlus for example has a good track record of providing at least 3 years of updates where else Samsung also promises minimum 2 years. Xiaomi and Huawei are inconsistent even with monthly security updates based on my previous updates but I've not owned a Huawei phone since the P20 Pro, not sure if they've improved.

Yeah, if you value your WhatsApp chat history, switching between iOS and Android is painful unless you purchase a 3rd party software like Backuptrans...

Im using mid range Android now. Thanks for your reply and good point on pros n cons
Oppo f11 pro security updates stuck at apr 2020 now. No Android 10 update yet too. Nowadays use WhatsApp more for work , switching OS seems not ideal for now. Thanks
*
My previous Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 office phone was still stuck on Jan 2020 updates when I returned it in June, and my ex Poco F2 Pro was on March 2020 update when I sold it off mid July. So your F11 Pro considered better laugh.gif

Ok, about MIUI 12 on Poco F2 Pro, running Global version via update few days ago. Some personal opinions on the newer integration.

Battery, still excellent. Easily 10 hours SoT without any sweat.

UI, are much eye candy here and there. Xiaomi take time on customizing the animation, from in to out, even the notification center. 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.

This is the two point i noticed this 2 days with new version which i think more important to my daily usage, small details, not much. laugh.gif

That's like super heavy usage of screen time in a day! laugh.gif

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.
*
That's a horrific way of doing business. I'll be sure to avoid buying from them now!

Oh.. they have many demo sets for sale?

Oldest trick in the book, start off at a too good price, then claim no stocks and make you take other options. Rinse and repeat.

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

If you're gonna go for the K30 Pro, might as well go for the K30 Pro Zoom as it will have OIS.

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.

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 biggrin.gif

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..

Ya, less phones to try these days. The flagship ones are too expensive and very difficult to resell these days coz of the economy, hahaha...

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

QUOTE(kamikraze @ Jul 31 2020, 08:53 PM)
Haha, I've use SD865 on Oneplus 8.. I bet nothing much to expect on Poco F2 Pro.. it's just I consider Poco is combination of Oneplus 8, Oneplus 7 Pro and Oneplus 7..

For me the Poco F2 Pro has great hardware specs and is great value for money, but the software and user experience is a bit of a letdown for me personally.
