QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 1 2020, 03:09 PM) Your determination and persistency are one of a kind. Salute! Hopefully the price drop sooner than we anticipate 😄 Hahaha, I’m in no hurry, besides, given the current climate the phone makers need buyers more than we need them This post has been edited by attw: Aug 1 2020, 07:07 PM

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 2 2020, 07:30 AM) Agree. That should translate price will drop sooner if we go by the supply and demand logic. Time will tell whether these phone makers will follow that logic, or they keep being stubborn sustaining the price. Yeah, especially with the pandemic, everyone’s had a pretty bad Q2 in terms of smartphone sales - except Apple (shocker!) https://www.gsmarena.com/iphone_sales_stron...-news-44545.phpLooks like their iPhone SE strategy really paid off...

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 2 2020, 09:33 PM) Gotta admit iPhone SE is a smart move from Apple. 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

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 4 2020, 11:10 AM) 10% cut. Nice. If can get less than rm2100 for a 256gb zoom edition from fastech lim, I think the Poco price will get even lower in the next coming month. Interestingly there is no announcement on the 6/128 variant. RRP was 2199, so perhaps the promo price 1999 might now be permanent.

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 4 2020, 11:26 AM) Make sense. I guess potential buyer who are looking for lower than RM1999 will have to wait for some special sale event from online marketplace. Right on cue, it's on flash sale today for RM1,929 https://s.lazada.com.my/s.YWIo8

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 5 2020, 08:47 AM) I noticed that in the middle of the night. Still 0 sold Not selling well aren't they  Yeah, a lot of Poco fans still stuck at the "Poco should be RM1,200 price range" mentality

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 5 2020, 08:58 AM) Sad but true. The alternatives seem tempting as well. 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

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 5 2020, 09:39 AM) 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

QUOTE(lazyman@home @ Aug 5 2020, 12:13 PM) That's very lucky. Initially I don't bother to look at it as still 60hz screen for 2k price. But now really can look pass it and but for gaming. The screen feels smooth and fast to me, even though it has just a 60hz refresh rate. Shouldn’t be an issue.

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 5 2020, 12:52 PM) Indeed. Let's see how this turns out. If tak laku again then I dunno what to say anymore. Haha. I'm sure will sell out during the flash sale at that price. QUOTE(HazzyNight @ Aug 5 2020, 01:44 PM) For any questions about how this phone perform, this review are great. It is a great phone. I've tried it and can easily recommend it at RM1799 - if you can live with MIUI.

QUOTE(HazzyNight @ Aug 5 2020, 02:45 PM) Yup, too bad u can't.  Now i try to offload mine, then buy a 8/256 variant as it's 300 cheaper.  Good luck bro, not easy to offload now. Maybe wait till after the 8.8 sale is over

QUOTE(angel-girl @ Aug 5 2020, 03:30 PM) im considering this and mate 30 pro wei, haha why sell this off? not good? It’s mainly the UI, I didn’t quite like it. Besides, didn’t want to hold on to it for too long coz Xiaomi phones typically don’t have much resale value (and I was proven right, I bought mine at RM1999 and a new set now will be RM1799 on 8.8 - imagine if I were to sell mine off now, hahahaha) If you have the time to spare, you can check my mini review here.

QUOTE(amjay6 @ Aug 5 2020, 07:22 PM) Just wondering, how does this phone compare to Huawei p30? Now the price is abt the same. Poco F2 Pro is better in all aspects - probably except the cameras.
