Same phone except for the launcher, no?

I guess for me it’s because K30 Pro isn’t officially available in Malaysia...

My Redmi Note 7 hasn’t security updates Since January, hahaha... Do hope the Poco is better.

Hopefully the same will be true for the F2 Pro
Yeah, it's a glass front and back, I'm not gonna risk it too, hahaha
A lot of Redmi K30 Pro users out there already and don't see much complaints on that, so I'm assuming no since it's essentially the same phone.

By that time, sell Poco F2 Pro and get the OnePlus Z

I am one of the potential buyers of Poco F2 Pro.

This afternoon when doing some research on this phone and found an article from soyacincau (https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/05/09/poco-f2-pro-launch-12-may-malaysia-sirim-5g-wifi-6/).

In the article, it states that "According to the SIRIM listing, the new Pocophone will support 3500MHz and 3700MHz 5G bands but it’s missing the lower 700MHz which is listed for the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. On top of that, the device also supports 802.11ax WiFi 6 and NFC."

When referring to the MCMC website, it is stated that "The 700 MHz, 3.5 GHz and 26/28 GHz bands have been identified for the initial deployment of 5G in Malaysia" (https://www.mcmc.gov.my/en/media/press-releases/final-report-on-allocation-of-spectrum-bands-for-m).

From the above, does it means there is a potential issue for Poco F2 Pro to use 5G in Malaysia due to lack of 700MHz support?

I am not so familiar with the above jargon, hope someone can help to clarify.

Many thanks.

Each Telco can only deploy based on the BAND Licensed to them or they leased from other company that are being licensed by the Gov.

Digi and Celcom 4G are being licensed from someone.

Yup, couldn't agree more! It's just that if you want to get a phone with a SD865 processor now, Qualcomm is forcing you to pay for the 5G hype. I wouldn't consider trying this F2 Pro if it wasn't priced below RM2k

Don't think that will be cheap given historical prices of ROG phones. It's a pity Asus didn't bring the Zenfone 6 into Malaysia, would love to try the rotating camera

Plus you have the trade war with Trump that now seeks to prevent Huawei from developing newer Kirin SOC and Samsung receiving so much flak for their Exynos, that emboldened them even more

Nice. Any concerns on the "low" refresh rate display?
Only on 10th June
I'm gonna wait for the livestream. If no stock by then I consider fated not to get it, hahaha...

Nope, buttery smooth for what i experience, refresh rate wise, frame drop felted when scroll through insta and browser but nothing deal breaking tbh. Screen are good for those who want full screen multimedia, vibrant by default.

what do you guys think about the storage and no expansion slot? is 128gb sufficient? I wonder the OS and those bloatware going to take up how much space

yeah maybe not going to take much videos and all, but will store games and musics mostly, should be fine I guess? currently using samsung s7 edge 32gb is killing me. need to consider which app to keep as there are too many apps at the moment

saw one comment on poco fb:

"they will regret... after 2 month i m pretty sure 8GB DDR5 variant at least 200 cheaper. 6GB DDR4 is a bottleneck to the SD865 chip."

anyone know how true this is?

Yup battery was great esp considering I'm using live wallpaper.

Surely can squeeze another hours of SoT but went ahead and charge it cause not gonna charge overnight. Charging speed from 18% to full, around 70 minutes which is great as well.

Yes it’s confirmed. But 7.7 Lazada got sale. Should buy on 18 June on wait 7.7?

4th cycle charge in, the battery are beefier. Conclusion, its a tank, easily last heavy user a day, light user 2 to 3.

How to prevent when video call, front camera auto pop up while I haven't even received call. Phone still in pocket?

LOL. So, means there's no way to prevent? I'm not concerning if anyone spying but worried that I broke the camera accidentally.

Wanna ask for your professional advice:

1) the EU stable v12 is out, r u on this rom? How is it?
2) I want to flash EU Rom, but do I have to root it also? If I dont root what m I missing? - don't wanna root because some bank app can't bypass magisk hide

Thanks!

most amoled screen is from Samsung. but LG also got do. just wondering got other supplier or not

icic..thats why i was wondering for poco screen lo...look different from samsung one haha
