Would like to ask everyone whose using the f2 for a while, is there any issues faced with the phone? How's the phone? I'm considering either f2 pro or oneplus 8t.

This phone is perfect if you're not concerned with the camera and normal 60hz screen refresh rate.

60hz is definitely not a dealbreaker for me. I'm neither looking for a high quality camera phone like those huawei flagship, but camera must at least still be decently good. Is F2 camera decent?

Personally I find it decent, just install a GCam port and good to go.

Yeah i find it rather decent. All you need to do is get used to it then you'll get better photos. What phone did you come from? Maybe then can advise better.

I'm using Pixel 3XL at the moment. Considering OP8T too as it has stereo speakers which f2 don't. And heard MIUI not as great as OxygenOS.

What's the thoughts from the rest using f2 on this? Is MIUI and single speaker like a dealbreaker?

Ui is ok la. Used samsung huawei iphone and this. The only thing i miss is the infinite home screen scrolling. Emui and i tink samsung have that option. Single speaker is fine la. I prefer use earphone when i really want to listen to music. For casual utube viewing its oklah.

So in the end still up to ur preferences. I was looking for notchless screen and this is not wat many phone offer. F2 also got big battery and thats a plus. 3.5mm earphone jack is subjective la.. Gcam is better than stock cam, but if photography is ur priority maybe can look at mi10u, ip12p, huawei p40. Those phones have better zooming and low light shots.

I have seen people who are used to stock Android or stockish like OxygenOS hated MIUI the moment they started using it, so it's better if you have a feel of MIUI phones at Xiaomi stores. The single speaker on the F2 is loud though. I personally feel since you are coming from P3XL, the OP8T seems to be the better option.

I have not touch OxygenOS but i guess it's just like stock, which i like since i have a Nexus before. If you ask me, i'll still choose stock over MIUI. There's some stuff i like about MIUI but not enough for me to choose simplicity and fluidity over features (ads too), bloats and bugs i guess :D

The speaker is loud enough for me so that is no issue but given the price of a SD 865 device like this, i think it's negligible. However, if you have money, go for OnePlus. Just like, if i got spare cash, i'll go for Samsung Note 20 Ultra (SD version though)

Bottom line is, cos of all the corners cut, while it's a very worthy phone, it still doesn't feel like i'm owning a complete phone.

Fair enough, personally coming from Redmi Notes and Pocophone F1, I feel F2 Pro is a complete phone to me liao. To each his own I guess. :s13:

Thanks for the inputs! Definitely must try MIUI myself. Tried it for a few days on Poco X3 previously.

Agree with you. It's whether i have that extra 200 to go for OnePlus. I kinda like Poco cause of its value for the specs, but due to its value, some corners being cut. Then again, i prefer its cooling technology over OnePlus. In a dilemma... Initially already deciding to go for F2 pro, but then i saw OP8T

Using it for about 1 month plus. No major issue with it. Except that I had intermittent result with using my Redmi QC3 Powerbank. Hence gone back to using my newly bought Anker Powerbank. I lose the QC3 though.

Yea it's quite hard to take out sim when having both sim cards inside. I sometimes try to bend or push one side of the sim slightly (very slightly).

Throw the tray lightly onto a table top. That will knock either of the SIM card to drop.
