Pocophone F3

[PES1989]

Poco F3 256GB - Lazada after all discount is $351 (except Moonlight Silver)

$429
- $15 Store Voucher
- $10 Off Min Spend $250
- $11 Off Payment Voucher
- $42 Lazada Bonus

Saw this $351 at 2pm. Last night 12am was $371, $20 store voucher, $26 platform voucher & $42 Laz Bonus. Then become $381 when flash sales was ongoing until 8am I was thinking wanna place order but went to zzz. Luckily price drop again.

Based on the review with iPhone 12 mini below, POCO F3's normal daylight is comparable but due to the small sensors and non-optimised software for low light, it loses out. Overall POCO F3's price to value is very hard to beat.

Cannot compare to flagship phone. Should compare with something closer in price point like the A52. Using gcam app, day and night shots are better than stock camera app. Still cannot understand why xiaomi so sloppy.

Also happened when I bought this phone. Midnight placed order already. Then the next day noon check again, even cheaper. So cancelled the order and order again. Haha.

It is possibly the A team that will work on the flagship (e.g. Mi and Mix) series, the B team on the middle-tier (e.g. POCO) series and the C team/newbies on entry-level (e.g. Redmi) series.

There could be also some technological boundaries on hardware and the software is tweaked to nerf some of the more advanced features to avoid cannibalising the higher-tier phones.

$350+ for "near" flagship SD870 is a no brainer

Time flies... so some of our launch sets have depreciated $90 over 7months

The SD870 is really good. I think this phone can last me at least 3 yrs. haha.

I used automation app with root

Auto lock screen when in phone call. Dont need to depend on the subpar proximity sensor

does rooting breaks the safetynet?

 

[KeYoKe]

does rooting breaks the safetynet?

Great. Hopefully this round the local set no give me prob like my iPhone & 1st XM HP (both local set). The power button sunk in, hard to press.

I saw the Goldfinch Qoo10 q&a, got someone ask if it is export set, he replied yes. Then earlier ones say got SG warranty.... Contradicting...

Seeking advice on second space.

Xiaomi has second space function for its phone. Any advice on how can it be deleted? As in, for the phone not to have this function? Thanks.
