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.

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

Yes, only if we can opt out the stupid 5G lol.

But F2 Pro adoption and the hype is not that, I am still waiting ROG3 announcement

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

Sorry on my poor wording, was meant for that.
Qualcomm always about monopoly, even though all those EURO body try to stop that. They saw opportunity, coz most other SOC manufacturer not yet reaching 5G milestone as Qualcomm.

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

Sad. Few years back, seeing huawei and samsung rising tying to go in SOC market, with okay performance. Mediatek sort of just not here not there.

Now 2020, with reason you mentioned above, only Apple can fight Qualcomm, but they focus own brand product only. Android, we're at mercy of Qualcomm now

American companies are always about monopoly. Be it Microsoft, Qualcomm or Google. However when others are monopolying like Huawei with its 5G, you can see how they behaved.

wanted to support huawei but after owning mate 20 n they worst customer support  + after sales services, so now choose best buck phone.

I think most Malaysian offices for foreign brands are crap. How many years did it takes for Samsung to even reached what it is now. Asus is crap too.

i find most China and Taiwan brand is suck for after sales service

I think I can say my experience differs from yours. Most of the taiwanese pc hardware that I bought has great after sales support, whereas those american brands has really poor support taking months for simple RMA. Yeah, they do replaced it in the end but not after being sent in for months. Apple sent back the same iPad with backlight bleeding after weeks. Mushkin merely gave a RM140 credit for a failed SSD after months.

Only positive with a western company would be Western Digital.
