I think he means in general, which I agree. My Redmi Note 7 is still on January security update and our Poco F2 Pro is on April security update.

Lol, nope, not complaining, just saying. I don't use global rom so it has nothing to do with me. Global rom is known for slower update compared to China rom. It's like it has become a general consensus for experience miui users, at least that's what I learned from browsing through xiaomi forum everyday. Not a bad thing though. There are pros and cons slow vs fast/frequent updates. It's just that I'm a bit curious why poco firmware seems like a bit outdated out of the box.

I think its all good for most consumers. Only people with great enthusiasm or OCD would worry 😅.

Edit: slow security update is a different story though since it's essential for security and privacy purpose.

For a SD865 device below RM2k, it definitely is! MIUI will be MIUI bro. For me it's tolerable, but it won't win any awards laugh.gif
Maybe I'm older and my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be, hahaha. But the difference between AMOLED and LCD is really noticeable for me this round. Previously not so noticeable when I used the LCD of the iPhone XR vs the AMOLED of other phones, haha...
I think the cheap Ringke copy for Poco would be Xundd or something like that. Saw quite a number on Shopee. For now I'll use the supplied case. Kinda like the rough feel at the back smile.gif

Already expected that answer. No surprises here... Lol.

Hey there, finally someone in the same boat 😄️

I refer this guide to unlock bootloader,

https://www.ytechb.com/how-to-root-redmi-k3...ock-bootloader/

After unlocking the bootloader, I follow the guide from xiaomi.eu to flash the rom.

For miui 11, https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11...-release.52628/

OR

For miui 12 beta, https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/20-5-28.56038/


Things to note, in case you didn't know,

1. Requesting to unlock bootloader will take one whole week to get permission from xiaomi server. If u r planning to flash EU rom, it's best to do this first before setting up adb on your PC.
2. Unlocking bootloader will full wipe your data so you might want to make a full backup beforehand.
3. Redmi k30 pro standard edition, zoom edition and poco f2 pro can be flashed with the same EU rom. Not sure with other region rom (I don't dare to try since the anti-rollback from the official rom might cause hard-brick).
4. We also share the same TWRP custom recovery.
5. In the xiaomi.eu website, look for Redmi K30 Pro rom (or lmi) to download, strictly follow the xiaomi.eu guide to flash. DONT EVER WIPE SYSTEM AND PERSIST PARTITION.

Hope this helps and good luck 😄️

Major difference: ads and bloatware. Less background activity.

Others I can't really remember since I only use China rom for one week.

Xiaomi is having a sale on 18 June - they are calling it the 618 sale. It's possible they may have the Poco F2 Pro at RM1999 again.

I think they probably didn't sell any 6/128 after the flash sale and the price went back to RM2199, hahaha. So I think they will have this RM1999 "flash sale" every now and then.

Have you tried to exclude whatsapp from battery optimization and see if it happens again?

Sorry, another two things I forgot to mention,

1. You need to remember your password to unlock your lockscreen. Because at the start of TWRP custom recovery, you will be prompted to key in the same password to decrypt. Else flashing or wiping will fail.

2. By default, if I remember correctly, the provided twrp will be in Chinese language. It'd be no problem if you know to read Chinese language. Otherwise just google it to find the language changing guide for TWRP.

Guys, I find it a little annoying that the LED notification is still flashing even with DND mode on. Is there any setting I missed out on?

Cant confirmed on this phone or this year etc, but based on previous years experience, biggest sales are 11.11 maybe 10.10 also.
