Last time also like this during F1 Flash Sales... either limited units or the batch is faulty...
I've got the best price for F1 flash sales but the camera was faulty end-up return-refund and wait for the price to drop 3 months later...
I think this round might be less risky since we're essentially just getting a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro - they probably sorted out all the faulty ones earlier.
Or if I were Poco Execs, I'd take the Redmi faulty units and re-conditioned and re-sell as brand new F2P...LOL...no wastages...just like the iPhone SE 2020...
for non gamer uncle like me... which will be better deal? i prefer a good camera anytime.
I've tried the S10 lite, it's the least frustrating experience I've had on a Samsung for the longest time. That said, the camera isn't spectacular compared to it's non-lite S and Note series siblings and there is an issue with shutter lag as well, though I'm not sure if they've fixed it via software update. That said, the camera is OK for most shots.

Doesn't that start at RM2.7k?
Unker comparing RM2.2k phones
Mi Note 10, and not Mi 10. I just helped a friend buy one at RM1780. For 2k, can get the Mi Note 10 Pro

ah my bad! the names are super-confusing la. Lite here, heavy there. then tambah Pro lagi.
Anyway at RM2199, I'd rather just go for Oneplus 7T.
Yeah, agree with you there. The names are confusing

They have lost the true Poco DNA... So, the Poco/Pocophone F1 is THE one and only breed of its kind... LOL...
In other words, it was a mistake to introduce the F1 in the 1st pace...
Hypothetical question: if the Poco F2 was introduced with the Realme X3 Superzoom's specs and priced at RM1,799, would it be a more appropriate successor to the Poco F1?
"Successor" is not the word I'm expecting... but more to "side-upgrade". The "successor" is more like from notch to notchless, IPS to AMOLED, 60Hz to 90++Hz, 18W to 30W charging rate, and plastic to "glass-tic" body-built.
For camera, the "side-upgrade" and "successor" is very subjective depending on front- and rear-facing camera module(s)...the same goes for the MIUI vs RealMe UI experience, a very subjective matter...
Therefore, my personal hypothetical conclusion : From F1 to F2P = Successor, hence 73% price increased. From F1 to "F2 non-Pro" (aka RealMe X3 Superzoom) = side-upgrade, hence 20% price increased.
So which do you prefer? Hahaha
Successor, or side upgrade?

Successor = Long term investment = beyond 24-month ownership. Side-upgrade = short-term investment = < 24-month ownership.

So, I'd prefer side-upgrade because these brands are not "Apple" and "Samsung" to general public as shown below:
I'd only go for successor if it is Apple-to-Sammy, or Sammy-to-Apple, or Sammy-to-Sammy, or Apple-to-Apple investment.
Oh yeah, thanx to Mr. "J"oker Trump, the matrix is much simpler and str8 forward now....On top of that, Goggle Pixel-series is not under my Top 5 list so far... OnePlus is not a "brand" to my eyes... These "new" brands efforts trying to match with Apple and Sammy is wasting their time as general public is looking at stylo-milo/trust/reliability/after-sales services rather than price-over-performance offerings (except for India region)... So, these new brands rely heavily on Influencers to gain general public trust. OnePlus-McLarens collab is dead... why? Maybe all the top execs in McLarens is using Apple/Sammy perhaps...Oppo/Vivo and the like were using popular celebrities to capture general public interest but still fail to date because general public do "aware" that these celebrities will definitely use/sponsored by Apple and Sammy for the past decade as their daily driver device(s)...

Very philosophical, bro
But ya, for me, Android phones are all short term coz I don't use them for long, hahaha...
My Who-R-We Mate 10 Pro is receiving A10 now... Been using it for over 2 years now...reaching to my previous iPhone 4 record of 3 years ownership... If the incoming Sammy N20+ "gimmick" not convincing, the M10P will break my iP4 record for sure...LOL...
Your Mate 10 Pro still going strong there
I wouldn't get my hopes up too high on the Note 20. Sure to be over RM4k for another Exynos device here, hahaha. I'll wait for the Note 20 Lite
For Android platform, those flagships from Sammy, Who-R-We and OnePlus are confirmed to have display output "built-in" into the USB-C port. So, just buy any ordinary USB-C to HDMI cable will do. No need to buy DisplayLink Dock/Adapter.
But flagships from Xiaomi/Poco/etc. does not have built-in display output in their USB-C port. So, to be on the safe side, just get the DisplayLink Dock/Adapter and 100% any Android devices (Smartphones/Tablets) will be able to have display out features. But, DisplayLink Dock/Adapter is not cheap because it is a "license" (like the Qualcomm Quick Charge license) and no competitor out there yet. So, they control the market.
One more reason why Xiaomi/Poco "flagships" are cheap:

Well, the Mi 10 certainly isn't cheap anymore, hahaha. Wonder what USB C port that uses.
Ya bro, I'm choosing between going for either the Realme X3 Superzoom or the Poco F2 Pro at launch - leaning towards the former coz it's cheaper by 200 bucks
