Maybe the custom launcher helps. I had strange background activity on the Poco stock launcher, it wasn't as bad as a Samsung running on Exynos, but it was still there. Anyways, all in all, for below RM2k (or now below RM1.8k), the Poco is a very easy recommendation.

me base on F1 experience, every few day or week new update.
f2 belum sampai lagi.

Bangsawan phone, not interested (now)

May be wait until 3 years down the line and it’s price dropped to sub RM1k then can consider, haha.

woo k30 ultra starting prices rmb 1999

bought k30 ultra 8g*512. rmb 2499.

so ? my grand father also tell me Japan car cannot use one.
My father told me korea car cannot pakai also ....

Try one of the newer midrange MediaTek chipset like the G90T - you would be pleasantly surprised.

Of course, if you want custom ROM and G-cam ports, then you’ll need to stick to SD.

I personally look forward to trying the Dimensity series from them.

Haha, yeah, I will buy MediaTek and try too, but most likely on a Realme instead of a Xiaomi - due to UI preference,
In terms of security updates, my Realme 6 is more consistent than my ex Poco F2 Pro - am already on July updates now, but yeah, as far as major Android updates are concerned it's probably a question mark but I'm sure it's more to do with the phone manufacturers' commitment. Anyways, no right or wrong. I had the same impressions of MediaTek back then but using one now, I give them credit for how far they've come.

But at the end of the day, no right or wrong. Just buy the phone with the chipset you're comfortable with, and for me, that means avoiding Exynos like the plague

As a flashaholic point of view, I totally agree. Even xiaomi EU rom devs advice their users to avoid mediatek at all cost due to the nature of the chipset. Not flash-friendly and any device with mediatek may suffer hardbrick easily when things go south.

With that said, I hope mediatek will improve in future. A lot of us need them as alternative to the dominating qualcomm, especially when it comes to price.
Will take a while for Sammy to gain back users confidence to place trust in exynos... Or perhaps they won't gain it back at all, who knows

u mean f2 pro.

this phone only support 60Hz. of coz no option to change.

But why?

Except for the 90Hz screen and better main camera+OIS, it’s pretty much the same stuff else where.

I gave up Note10+ for any phone. Haha!

Will update after sometimes use.

By the meantime, the macro mode on this phone is madness! Wow!

build quality bad ? anything physical of ur phone drop out ? any weird noise inside ur phone when u shake ?
btw build quality n build material is two different thing, huge apart ...

Except for the
1. (only) 60Hz refresh rate (duh, after the resolution and pixel density race, now we’re going for the screen refresh race... since when did it started that people get so obsessed with high refresh rate...)
2. kind of low PWN frequency (may affect some people if you’re sensitive enough to notice it; it’s the inherent characteristics of PWN display especially OLED, not exactly a fair parameter to judge the quality of a display, but experienced manufacturers should had know and avoid this issue in the first place)
3. mono speaker
4. mediocre cameras setup (lack of OIS)

POCO don’t have other noticeable hardware flaws. Built quality of modern glass sandwich phone is just about there, be it cheapo or premium models. Even sub 1k phone with plastic frame can feel very solid nowadays. That’s how far the smartphone making industry has evolved for China brands.

I understand your idea of corners are cut to keep price low. And I believe that’s exactly why we no longer see metal built phone for midrange prices phone. But POCO is lucky enough to be the exception here. In addition it’s blessed with the vapour chamber cooling which paired splendidly with the flagship chip for sustainable performance under load, gotta give them the credit for it.

TL;DR, by compromise a little to settle for “great” instead of “best”, it’s possible to get/deliver a flagship like experience for a midrange like pricing. Manufacturers started to facing difficulties to segment their phones nowadays, where flagships no longer deliver something totally outstandingly that mid/low range couldn’t.

Deswai the most usual tricks they still use are the camera quality (and numbers, KEK), phone storage/memory size&speed, (curved) display quality (and more modernly the refresh race...) and metal/plastic build.

The F2 Pro is good value product at RM1799 too. Better build quality than the Note 20

Xposed I long never play, never know it can by pass Widevine. Cool.

Actually I didn't root very long time already, all return and unknown now. Haha

Most people these days don't need root and xposed. Only a handful wanted to get the best out of their phones.

Haha! Agreed! No need already now.

Seems there will be a Poco X3 with a new SD732G chipset launching very soon.

I hope it's not the same price as Nord.

It's pretty hard to guess since POCO X2 is not available locally.

What's your estimated price?

I would think RM1499

Oh my RM1499, that's not very attractive pricing.

just 200 cheaper than poco f2 ? yah i think buying dont mind paying extra 200 ...

i really think the 730 gen is insufficient. like the Mi note 10 pro.. sluggish phone
