Poco F2 Pro got no Zoom edition - at least not as far as I'm aware!

no OIS...i no hepi liao for that price

Not really, almost all marketing is like this lately, if you are usual buyer you will know you should wait and not be an early adopter.

The sweet spot is normally 3 months to 6 months after release, even if you buy iPhone, I normally advise people wait March or April after the September launch to purchase as easily can get rm500 discount or base price with high storage.

If you want to save even more money, you buy last gen tech instead of current gen tech.

Not really. There's a chinese proverb said: "早买早享受 晚买享折扣". It means "Buy early, enjoy early, buy late, enjoy discount". It's the universal rule in sales.

Yes. The early adopters might get upset. But they can't blame Xiaomi. This is how it works in these day's economy.

I agreed on this. You can never get the “cheapest” price, there will always be cheaper one afterward.

That’s why I will buy when the price/value is worth.

Also, I think this XiaomiGlobal store also did this strong lelong sale last year with Mi9 or K20. IIRC, they messed up the k20 sales and nuked the orders eventually.

Plot twist, if they can lelong at RM15XX now, imagine what they can do on 9.9 or 11.11, owai.
