I am one of the potential buyers of Poco F2 Pro.

This afternoon when doing some research on this phone and found an article from soyacincau (https://www.soyacincau.com/2020/05/09/poco-f2-pro-launch-12-may-malaysia-sirim-5g-wifi-6/).

In the article, it states that "According to the SIRIM listing, the new Pocophone will support 3500MHz and 3700MHz 5G bands but it’s missing the lower 700MHz which is listed for the Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro. On top of that, the device also supports 802.11ax WiFi 6 and NFC."

When referring to the MCMC website, it is stated that "The 700 MHz, 3.5 GHz and 26/28 GHz bands have been identified for the initial deployment of 5G in Malaysia" (https://www.mcmc.gov.my/en/media/press-releases/final-report-on-allocation-of-spectrum-bands-for-m).

From the above, does it means there is a potential issue for Poco F2 Pro to use 5G in Malaysia due to lack of 700MHz support?

I am not so familiar with the above jargon, hope someone can help to clarify.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Indeed, the 5G chip bundled increased the phone costs and the 5G usage in Malaysia wont be that fast as the Telcos need to go thru the similar infra upgrade like how they implement 4G.

For sharing, 12.0.3.0 is available now.
Haven't try it out yet.

I didn't observe any noticeable lagging. However, there is a problem with dual apps (I.e. Pokemon Go cannot run if you use dual apps for your second account). So anyone who is using dual apps, please do some research on this before considering the upgrade.

Update: Apparently Pokemon Go still works under Dual Apps mode but it took longer to load the game, need to wait 2~3 minutes)

Hi, do you observed any issue after update?

MIUI 12.5.2 solved the slow loading issue when using dual apps.

Hi, so far any new problem encountered with
12.5 3 ?

So far any problem observed with the latest update? Thanks

It seems like MIUI 14 has been made available to POCO F2 PRO global. But yet to receive the prompt for the OTA update.
