U decide lo

 

[ekardo]

personally , i think it's good enough liao
wait for 6.6 is not guaranteed , may stop selling and the other phones $270 to $370 not really desirable ($360 $370 = poco x5 pro = snapdragon778g but slower ufs 2.2 ddr4 )
just accept that buying at $10-20 higher than the lowest , depends on personally how urgent u need the phone ... 6.6 is 2.5 weeks away
i l@z@d@ noob so i won't quote the april $270 wmm calculated after cashback .... i don't buy much on laz to use the cashback there

I have lotsa lazada coins but never seems to be able to use to offset any of my lazada purchase...

 

[ekardo]

U decide lo

dun think I will cancel lah...since I also almost buy at $275 2nd hand....this is brand new with full warranty..

At 293 in lazada, is decent price already.

There is 6% cashback voucher at Lazada that can be applied to Poco f4, for those interested. That's another $17.94 savings.

Just ordered one to use as spare phone. Getting very tired of my main M1 line certain places no data. Have another phone on a different provider would help when making payments outside.

How to find this 6% cash back? I only can see 50% cash back but max at $2

Edit: found the new daily voucher to grab. Sigh.

You can order another and return the first order (change of mind is allowed).

Though given the launch of F5 at ~$480, I am of the opinion that F4 6/128 at ~$300 already represents real value for money. Not a biggie to pay a bit more. General purpose usage is speedy, does everything generally well, and it's popular to have a number of custom ROMs, i.e. the software can take u past the usual 2-3 years of official updates.

Telegram has also a channel on F4 photography which there excellent Gcam releases.

what is the policy for change of mind return? Any extra fee incurred?
And for shoppee, how to return? Is it via the normal shopee pick up shop (like neighbourhood convenience store)

Thinking if it's worth the effort for ~$18

 

[ekardo]

Found this: https://help.shopee.sg/portal/artic... so, select To,if applicable) > Select Submit.

The return reason is only limited to the following:

from 5 return/refund reasons:

Parcel delivered with missing items (e.g. missing products, parcel was empty)
Received the wrong product(s) (e.g. wrong size/colour, different product)
Received a product with physical damage (e.g. dents, scratches, cracks)
Received a faulty product (e.g. malfunction, does not work as intended)
Received a counterfeit product

Sorry, I thought u bought from Lazada. Laz change of mind is applicable.

I wouldn't recommend return on Shoppee as I hear it is harder. Not worth your time.

I checked further that shopee have "change of mind" clause also but if I do not have a better reason, I better not risk it ... Lazada cash back seems to have ultra short expiry and also doesn't get refund if u used it but cancel the item

Sigh, no update on the shipment from shopee (still in “preparing shipment”) yet the merchant claim I cannot cancel.

 

[caterham7]

yeah they "lock-in" very fast within 1 minute to 1 hour ...... it's actually progressing , next update will be about 3 days and it popup somewhere in hongkong


now have to find cheap $2 casing for this ....... dunno the china model this one based on what k40 k50 what I dunno .... since they keyword F4 not so easy to search

there is already a case in box

if u want to buy, can just search using poco f4 in shopee or lazada

Found a few casing around $2-3 but some review that the corner is not well made…

many budget and simple case to recommend? Don’t need magnet or sliding window for camera.

Also ordered hydro screen protector but realised cannot find matte hydro for f4.

are u trying to do this because Lazada provides "cashback"?

based on experience - you are not losing out on much if not at all. The cashback on Lazada is very limited and you cannot apply all at one go in your next purchase. The cashback is very staggered and you need to buy many things to use all of your cashback.

IMO - if you got it from Shopee for $299 that's good enough le, don't let the platform rewards sway you because they are not out to benefit you.
