Your z flip not yet sell back out meh bro ? 2 days liao woh

I'm torn between this phone and OnePlus 7T Pro. Which one is better buy?

What's your priority?

photo quality. one plus have ois but older soc SD855+. Poco f2 can take 8k vid and newer soc.

Then you'll have to go with the OP7T Pro. The Poco F2 Pro doesn't have OIS

Edit: Also, the most reviews of the camera for the Poco F2 Pro seems average at best. Definitely not flagship worthy.

Sold already
It's look so elegance n easy to put into pocket

The f2 how ever got the updated ver of im686 compare to op7tpro imx 586...buy yes it lack of ois...in stock apps i think oneplus gonna do better nut when you have gcam on both i think the 686 of f2 gonna do better due to its larger sensor size...sad the f2 doesn't have ois, this is the main reason i hold back to get f2...sad

Just get the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition... It's cpme with OIS

Ya, I guess the only remedy for that is to get the Redmi K30 Pro Zoom from parallel importers. The review from GSMArena did remark that the photos from the F2 Pro are pretty inconsistent - 20% of the photos they took didn't look good, hahaha. Definitely not the phone for those who prioritise photography.

But u r still getting poco instead of redmi right?

Yeah bro, photography not on my list of priorities now given that can't travel. Local official warranty more important

Double post

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.

I lazy go study, but generally. Depends on telco, each telco might have each preference of bands they use.

Another thing, how long you wish to use ( like in real life you really keep using ) the phone, coz 5G in Malaysia near non existence this year, next year also wont have meaningful enough coverage.
Personally I skip every info/spec for 5G on new released phone. Basically gimmick now.

the camera design look nice enough

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.

I don't think 5G should be a consideration right now for getting a phone in Malaysia coz I think we're at least 3 years or more away from seeing 5G implemented on a wide and meaningful way in our country. There was also an article of some sort about the Galaxy S20 Ultra not supporting some 5G band in Malaysia too and that's a RM5000 phone. If you're buying the Poco F2 Pro and planning to use it for at least the next 5 years or so then I do believe that your concerns are valid, and hopefully someone here from the Telco industry or subject matter expert can help clarify this for you

Yes, but most reviews of the cameras are just average at best, with the exception of the macro camera. Seems that one is pretty good

5G Catalyst will not be Smartphone ownership.

Smartphone drives 4G

IoT drives 5G


So, please ignore 5G for now. By the time change next phone, 5G is not even fully deployed in Malaysia yet.

Anyway, for the Camera, wait for GCAM as usual
