Not yet for me, still 12.0.3.0.

Nope, have you enabled the permissions for the camera in those apps?

Yes, when on Silent mode on the table, it doesn't vibrate hard enough to alert me of a call, hahaha...

Strange, I don’t have this issue. All other apps using camera ok? E.g. WhatsApp?

Yes it does, but it matches the actual border on the phone itself.

Ya, then try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps. Unlikely to be a hardware problem.

Have you updated? Any noticeable difference?

Nope, never had this issue. Have you installed the latest updates?

For the same reasons above, I'd recommend the Poco too except it's a plastic back vs the glass back of the Note 9 Pro.

Nope, so far so good. On the latest software, 12.0.4.0

Bro, my ground floor signal issues are telco not phone related. All my phones, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and Apple have this issue

Yeah, sometimes the coverage in the same area can also vary depending on the timing and the crowd in that area, particularly inside malls - though most malls are empty these days

Based on my personal experience with various brand of phones, the one with the best reception I've tried so far this year would be the Mate 30 Pro followed by the Realme 6. I tried three Xiaomi phones - the Poco F2 Pro, the Mi 10 and the Poco X3 NFC and they are more or less comparable. The worst one I tried in recent memory would be the Note 10+ on Exynos, followed by Apple's iPhones with Intel modems. Hoping the 12 series with SD 5G modems will be better.

The new mediatek chips will surprise you

But yeah, it is more expensive than Xiaomi

I had the Realme 6, power efficiency is good but yes, third party support like XDA, G-cam, etc. is non existent.

Can get this tempered glass

It's cheap and pretty good

Nope, nothing. Batteries these days are more resilient than before. Of course, not fast charging and not charging overnight will help preserve the battery health and reduce degradation but it won't be noticeable in the short term, more in the long term.

Good deal for that price!

Yup, same for me, hahaha.

Anyways just sold off my unit yesterday. It's an interesting phone, I'll write up my thoughts on it in a day or two.

Only tested 90hz and 120hz, haha. I don't play games so I can't comment on the gaming part. For normal usage, there's a bit more fluidity when scrolling but for me it's pretty marginal, my eyes can't quite appreciate the difference, haha...

I've just moved from the 120hz LCD to a Samsung with 60hz AMOLED and I decided that I liked the latter better.

Mine was aligned quite alright without too big of a gap, but yes, the tempered glass was a tiny bit smaller.

Nice

I’ll probably wait for the 7 series to get a discount before trying them out. Maybe February or March next year when 8 is launched
