Pocophone F3

Sigh... Not good... More and more phones don't include external storage now... But don't come in at least 512 GB...

External storage is very slow compared to internal ones, so not surprise nowadays fewer phones have them.

If want 512GB then have to go for flagship products.

I use it to store my photos lor... So slow is ok... I don't need space for apps really... My current 256 GB micro SD card is already 50% full... If I get a phone with only 256 GB and no expandable storage, then I won't have enough space at all...

Flagships are just way overpriced!!!

Photos and videos should only be temporarily store in phones imo. They should be backup to a hdd as often as possible. So 256GB is more than enough.

Very dangerous to keep them in the phone only, especially if they are important memories.

this phone is using google phone app. can block "+65*"? I tried but does not seem to work leh.

the setting is in security, not google phone app.

My Pocophone F1 has served me for 3 years plus already. Yesterday accidentally dropped and edge of the phone cracked....

Though still can use, looking to "upgrade" to F3 soon. I'm not well verse in online shopping (don't have Shopee and Lazada account yet...) But have looked through the thread and understand that buy from the officialgl global store then have 1 year warranty right? May I check is it the one that delivers from China/Hong-Kong and not from Singapore?

Also, anyone knows when is the next sale coming up? Should be 1.1?

TIA

Possible. I think price between 347- 380 for 8/256 is very good.

Btw anyone encounter wifi off now and then? Not sure if i accidentally off it or what, few times i found it off and need to turn it on.

Yes they offer one year warranty, and delivers from China/HK.

It's a setting that enables WiFi when in range of saved networks and turns WiFi off when not in range.

previously low poco price only possible with lazzie bonus.. 6 off 60 kind. until lazada have another lazzie event, doubt price will head back to 350 range.

that is a steal price if you are getting at 347- 380 for 8/256???
i believe avg wise 400+ is very gd for 8/256
cause retail pricing for 8/256 still 599 leh?

Ya. From Lazada the 8/256 model is still at 599. Funny thing is blue is selling at 459 (year-end sale) while the rest still the same price at 599.

Now my dilemma is whether 1.1 say can go till 459 or lower.. Or should I get the blue one from Lazada.

That's my guess too. Funny thing is it only applies for Lazada, but not Shopee. But in anyway case to me all the colour are good for me.

Think I shall wait for 1.1 then.

you can always compare across the board which is the better buy ba..
