Hahahaha, I gave it up and went back to using a 720p Realme 5 on ColorOS 6. That’s how bad it was!

Serious bro, the signal strength was disrupting my work and that was the only other phone I had at that moment laugh.gif

Understood.tongue.gif

Yes, dedicated 5MP macro lens with auto focus, that’s a rare stuff among other phones. Most brand went for 2MP fixed focus lens for that.

Yea very impressive for this. smile.gif

Not to bad mouth f2 pro  notworthy.gif , as I didnt owned it, or even tested it in real life, 'usually' there's difference in build quality between different price bracket product. I didnt owned/tested mi 10 also  sweat.gif
When I owned poco f1, the build quality will tell you it's 'good value' product, not premium flagship. Not sure how difference with f2 pro, as it's cost/price are much much higher than f1.

It's in same price range now due to age and promotion. Like comparing used BMW vs latest Camry, there's people prefer one or another.
*
The build quality of POCO F2 Pro is very solid premium feel.

Front and back is Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Side is aluminium.

The only missing thing in POCO F2 Pro is don't have 90hz or 120hz screen.

The F2 Pro is good value product at RM1799 too. Better build quality than the Note 20 laugh.gif
Yeah, that macro camera is next level, however as per my internal testing, the normal camera and wide angle are just pretty standard. It'll do a good job, but definitely not in the same class as the Samsungs or iPhones of this world.
*
I will play more the camera this weekend. Haha.

From there also got people mentioned no issue. Probably that person dunno did what, for example root which will void the Widevine L1 permanently.

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.

my android security patch is 2020-07-01 ,why yours is different? hmm.gif

QUOTE(mfa682 @ Aug 15 2020, 12:41 AM)
Unless your parent is irritated by the ads notification or bloatware or both, he should be fine to stay on China ROM. China ROM gets updates more frequent than Global ROM. It's just that the way how both ROMs handle the ads and bloatware are slightly different.
I second this.
A bit tricky. Most important things are backup the phone, always remember the account detail and password for Xiaomi account that was last bound to the phone, and never ever lock your bootloader when flashing back to original stock rom (mi flash tool set the option to lock bootloader by default).
Mind if I ask is your miui ROM QJKMIXM or QJKEUXM?
*
QUOTE(angel-girl @ Aug 15 2020, 01:06 AM)
Mine is QJKMIXM
*
This telling why it is different.

After check, mine is EEA ROM not Global ROM. Why it is EEA ROM? No idea, so far no issue, so I won't change to Global ROM.
Worried later simply change the Widevine L1 break, so better stick to what it came from. Haha!

Strange, it's a MY set but different office.

Different office? You mean different ROM?

But Malaysia certification is there, maybe they mix both version.

My set defaulted with English Uk and Malaysia region on first boot.

After update MIUI12 and reset, its now Bahasa and Malaysia region as the preselected option for first boot.

Mine also but I didn't reset after update.

QUOTE(coconutxyz @ Aug 15 2020, 01:22 PM)

Just tested, it works with screen off.
