Most Sony flagships too.

Ditto, my sister over confident with the IP rating on her Samsung and wash the phone regularly. One time some water sipped in and KEK the display IC got burnt. Another time is her Note9, the charging port also detecting water resistance issue, luckily the inside is still fine.

That’s what she used to believe too, KEK.

Nowadays, I tell her to use alcohol spray or wipe instead. At least alcohol isn’t as conductive as water.

Xiaomi is more suitable for those which are geeky and know what’s happening to their phones.

As Xiaomi tends to mess up their software updates (buggy) from time to time, if you’re not a tech savvy enough, it might leave some bitter taste in the user experience to you.

As for ads in UI, actually they didn’t done it so. They put ads in their stock apps like Browser, Cleaner, file manager and etc. Most of them can be disable once and for all in respective settings, by disabling the “recommendations”. Though the stock browser did pushed some Xiaomi new launching ads to me recently, there by I’m suggesting don’t use the stock apps whenever possible.

Not really, Poco F2 was Redmi K30.

Basically Xiaomi don’t launch their Redmi K-series outside of China, most of the time Poco series take charge for global market under the same phone models.

One major limitation of Xiaomi phones are they don't bother to give USB3.0 and above.

Those big RAMs only sound practical when you go for desktop mode and running extra big programs on both desktop mode and on your phone.

Without desktop mode, 8GB is more than sufficient for most people.

Every 2-3 months, except if there's severe bugs they might speed up in between to fix it.
