Poco handphone like sunset liao

[titusilvering]

Imo Redmi for offline store buyers, have to price higher because rent/staff/overhead etc
Though i don't know why anyone would buy an offline msrp Xiaomi phone since other brands are priced the same

Poco & the rebadged Redmi>Poco for more price savvier online buyers

Now tiongkok people kbkp asking say why all tiong brand's phones become so expensive? So expensive that buy apple is more worth it liao. They tot cuz no chips but tiong like huawei say their chip made in tiongkok also so expensive. Even xiaomi now same price apple liao. Soon all tiong brands will fall

Poco phones are in general fine, so far only got one issue with Poco X6 Pro battery bloat after 1 year plus but that is probably due to the misuse from my daughter (mobile gaming while charging).

We have the following Poco phones at home. My wife is a firm iPhone user but she also uses one Poco X6 Pro as the secondary phone.

Basically I only purchase Poco for Android phones after the good impression with Poco X4 GT (bought in Dec 2022). Previously I was more into Oppo/Realme/Huawei. I actually banned Xiaomi brand last time due to battery bloat issue of Mi Max 1.

1. Poco X8 Pro Max (not opened yet but I will use it as my next main phone).

2. Poco X7 Pro x 2 (my current main and backup phone)

3. Poco X6 Pro x 2 (one with 3rd party battery replacement by Mister Mobile and not really used now).

4. Poco M7 (my daughter's main phone now. She does not want to use back the Poco X6 Pro after the battery replacement)

5. Poco C85

6. Poco C75, repaired within warranty due to dirt blocking the speaker.

7. Poco X4 GT -- bought in Dec 2022, my previous main phone, retired as no more security updates.

Prices of 512gb during launch for F8 Ultra and F9 Ultra roughly around the same (comparing the lowest price during launch). Probably like +/- $10 difference.

It's the 256gb version of F9 Ultra which is much cheaper during the lowest price as compared to F8 Ultra.

I think the price way lower than last season so i bought the 256gb/12 one, i also think the toughness is way weaker than last season one so i did not get the 512/16 one. I mainly using for youtube listening only like as below.

It's not that much lower for 256gb. Around $60 at most if not wrong.

Last season is what price? Of course i want the 512/16 one but the toughness is way weaker than last season one, i alike more than 20years or so i never buy screen protector one, this time i am buying. Of course this year and last year not all people tell if prices if even lower or not also.

Around 720 I think. But you can't really compare to F8 Ultra as F9 Ultra is still using the same chip set. So the price you get for F9 Ultra is comparable to F8 Ultra 2 to 3 months ago.

I listening to youtube most of the time. Is 512/16 a must? Is it overkill?

Early bird week wasn't cheapest, was 12.12
F8 Ultra 16/512GB went as low as $789 (if got unexpanded shipping voucher)
With wireless charging stand if you meet the 3pm deadline

F8 Ultra 12/256GB remember someone said was ~$689 but without wireless charging stand
F8 Pro 12/256GB was even more ridiculous like ~$450
