Hahaha, one thing for sure every phone is trying to be a pro, just like humans.

Agree. I think got potential but highly unlikely. I watched the launch announcement, so many bash in the live chats lol. I guess I could say the same for this thread.

Then it won't be a flagship to kill the flagship of flagships? Haha sorry just joking but u do have a point.

I see. F1 cut corners on some so it would make more sense for the successor to follow the the same trend.

Thank you xda staffs for not bothering or refusing to open forum thread for us f2 pro / K30 pro users. What a disappointment.

Kinda difficult question. From what Ive found, some people notice the difference immediately while most don't. The latter might need to stay at higher refresh rate for at least a day to tell. On the other hand, most people who got used to higher refresh rate feel that 60hz is sluggish.

Wait, no protection at all??? The Maaaaaaaaaannnnnn

I don't even use screen protector and people start to lecturing me (my phones don't look new but there's no major scratch on the screen). But you are just the type on a higher league, which is a lot harder to find in our community these days. Salute!

Probably not for some people, but for me, yeah . I've seen a lot more people using naked phone 10 years back, but in the past 2-3 years, I've seen none . Respect to you guys ... What about you guys, have you seen one other than yourselves irl? If yes, around how many percent of all users roughly?

Be that as it may, I might as well grab a popcorn and watch the never ending argument on this topic lol. As a firm non screen protector phone user, I agree with you.


True. On the other hand, chances for me to recognise an iPhone is iPhone 8 are even much lower. Haha

No doubt.

Didn't expect quite a number of naked/skin phone users here haha

What about realme x3 superzoom?

Got official date yet for x3 launch?

Nice, three more days to go

I don't think u missed anything important. From what u described few days ago, I'm pretty sure u did your homework well. There's nothing to lose, go for it 👍😁

No, I don't think it supports 5g.

Made up your mind already? Care to share some thoughts? Here's some of my thoughts regarding aod, video call and music podcast with poco f2 pro (disclaimer: I don't have a poco f2 pro, but I have redmi k30 pro zoom which the specs are quite similar, and they both have the same firmware code. And I don't own a Note 10 lite either, but I do have a Samsung Note8 in the past).

Aod:
Its obviously better on Samsung phones. Drain less battery (1% vs 2%), better execution (double tap notification on Samsung aod brings you straight to the corresponding apps, while on Poco it does nothing). Aod turns off automatically and immediately as soon as the phone gets into the pocket or the display is facing down - less battery drain) while with Poco it takes literally a minute or more to turn the aod off in similar situation. While I have to admit the new animated aod on miui 12 looks pretty cool, the way how Samsung handle is still better and more practical in my opinion.

Video call:
Shoudnt be a problem so long u r making static call and not walking/running around. The front camera doesn't have EIS, let alone OIS. So video call will become shaky if u r moving around with the Poco phone. Not sure about note 10 lite.

Music/podcast:
Pros: Hi-res resolution certified paired with wired headphone.
Minor cons: Hi-res doesn't mean the phone drives high impedance headphone, but in most cases shouldn't be a problem for lower impedance headphone. Other than that, when pairing with bluetooth headphone, the volume controls on both headphone and the phone are separated.

Another cons of poco is that ads are built into the system. Some people say ads cannot be disabled while others claim they can disable the ads. Other way round is to flash the phone to EU Rom where the built in ads are removed by the developers.

There you have it. Hope it helps somehow.

Edit: Samsung aod can control ongoing music too, but I don't find it that useful. Also I forgot uve been using redmi for quite sometime, so you must be more familiar than me on how the ads work in the phone.

Yeah, the xiaomi flagship isn't cheap anymore. IMHO, oneplus 8 Pro is way much better value for money, and better in most aspects too.

Too soon to tell since it has yet to sell officially. But my redmi k30 pro zoom got 4g+ for maxis. There are options to enable volte and vowifi too but I'm not sure if it'd work since maxis don't support them both.

Agree. Although is just a step up between the two bands, it makes a whole world of difference.
