Is it Upgrading or Downgrading? - Xiaomi Poco X2 Questions & Answers

Poco f1 comes with Snapdragon 845 chip and now poco X2 comes with snapdragon 730G. According to benchmarks 730G score is low than the Snapdragon 845. So if I buy poco x2 coming from poco f1. Am I upgrading or Downgrading?

If you want 120Hz display + 4500mAh battery + Camera and some new features upgrade then Poco X2 is the way to go but if performance is your only priority then stick to the King Poco F1

No, in terms of flagship specs. but consider it as a mid range phone and hope it will bring its pro version as the successor of poco f1.

If u live in India its OK, but for rest of the world in specially Europe , is not. Important lte bands are missing.

I'm thinking of letting my Note 8 Pro go and getting the 6/128 variant of this. Wondering the same thing about that.

You will get the dual fron camera and fingerprint sensor on the power button.

I saw many videos on youtube regarding the refresh rate in Poco X2. Actually it can't compete with iPhone 11 pro 60HZ display, The animation and all needs to improve.

An SD 865 variant will come out before may

You can't compare such a expensive iOS phone with this one.

Definitely POCO X2 is a better choice.

I regret twice after getting Poco F1 (I bought two units. One in October, 2018 and one 1n May, 2019). LCD panel was of poor quality, touch sensitivity was a complete mess, thermal throttling was crazily aggressive, animation was crappy. I suffered to such an extend that I am scared to buy a Xiaomi device again. Currently using Realme X and apart from Color OS, I don't have any other issue.

Planning to buy Poco X2 as secondaty phone. I'm using Asus ROG Phone 2 as my primary phone. Will it be good for using, how is the performance and speed?

Well Poco F1 was a flagship killer, but X2 is definitely not. Their launch event shows Poco wants market share from Realme and the comparison between X2 v X2 was so prominent throughout the launch event of Poco X2.
If Gaming is priority - SD845 is still better
If Camera is priority - You can opt for X2 as it's better. Quad cam + Sony IMX686 sensor works better than that of Poco F1.

upgrading -screen n camera
downgrading -SoC

Mediapad X3 ?

http://www.gizchina.com/2016/03/19/huawei-honor-x3-passes-trough-tenaa-confirms-specifications/
Back in January, rumors of a possible Huawei Honor X2 successor started to pop out. According with previous rumors, the tablet named as Huawei Honor X3, would be unveiled during CES packing a nice set of specs. However it was a no show until the most recent leaks at TENAA.
Originally, we were expecting the device to come with 6.2-inch 2K device, Kirin 950 processor alongside 4GB of Ram and 64GB of Storage. Previous benchmarks also suggested Android 6.0 in a newer version of EMUI. We cannot say what happened with the device on those leaks, but we got a different picture in the TENAA Honor X3 documentation.
According to TENAA, the Huawei Honor X3 boasts a larger 7-inch display with 1920×1200 resolution. The horsepower is given with the use of Snapdragon 615, a quite old and deprecated choice in 2016; Huawei could at least consider the 616 version that fixes all the problems found in the 615, other specs include 2GB of Ram and 16GB of Storage.
The Huawei Honor X3 also comes with a generous 13MP rear camera and 5MP unit on the front. We also found the presence of a fingerprint scanner on device’s border, just below power button, a new placement that we are seeing more often this year. Finally, the device houses a 4320mAh battery to provide enough juice to run out the specs.
Hey bark,
Thanks for posting this. In my opinion, these specs seem highly unrealistic and under par even in comparison to the current X2. I'll gamble and say the specs for the X3 will be much better than the ones quoted in this article...
ya maybe they might have a lite and a pro version for x3. and this one could be of lite.
A Snapdragon processor means there will probably be a CM based rom for it in the future.
Snapdragon means NO Dual Sim Full Active.... So I have to look to other device.

Huawei Mediapad M2 7.0 is the mediapad x2 successor (and the rumored mediapad x3)

Hi
today Huawei announced mediapad m2 7.0, and it's the device that was rumored to be the mediapad x3
its design and most specs are similar to the current x2, the main differences are :-
comes in a wifi version, and dual sim LTE option
have a fingerprint sensor
snapdragon 615 processor
less battery capacity, 4360
it have the same screen and cameras, it's not a big step from the current device.
the battery capacity is sadly a downgrade, and if the device came with a more power efficient 14nm processor then we might get a better battery life even with the smaller battery (but sadly we're getting the old snapdragon 615)
I care a lot for the fingerprint sensor so I think I will recommend the new one going forward instead of the x2
another notable point is that this device comes with Android 5.1 , this is amazing how it's not with Android 6, with its screen size it have to get android N for the proper multitasking.

I found a video of the device, I guess mediapad lite is another name for it

omg does the snapdragon mean this one could get cyanogenmod?

It's possible but with CM always being buggy i'm not sure if it would be good thing. Then again EMUI is just as buggy so.....
Maybe this one the additional bands could be unlocked to get 4G LTE in the US if possible.
the specs isn't as good apart from the fingerprint sensor. The x2 is still more powerful coupled with its bigger batterycapacity. I'll just wait patiently for the proper mediapad X3.

That's a good question. I will look into it. I am on the Huawei Community, I will ask the powers to be at Huawei.
It's real but has no US LTE support. If it did I'd jump on it. Her'es the M2 7.0 Lite (youth)

Comments by the seller here say their x3 listing is populated from TENAA certification information.
Hopefully this is true, it's sucks to be waiting for the supposed x3 for so long knowing I could pick up a m2-7 right now.
Hello I am digging out this old thread, because a user of the M2 7.0 did confirm me that you cannot make phonecalls without using headset or speakers .
For me it's quite a difference with a successor of X3 !!
Do you think I misunderstood, and that the M2 is rally usable on your ear, like a phone (same as X2)?

Unfortunately in M2 there is not separate spekaer for phone calls . So YOU CAN make phone calls only if you want everybody in vincinity to hear your respondent.

Question Closest device for CustomROM devs (SnapD. 860, Adreno 640, UFS 3.1, IMX582, etc.)

I have no experience what is important regarding device tree and development. From first guess Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC should be the closest and after 6 months already has a lot of ROMs (52 threads).
The devices beside the case and probably screen and battery differ a lot (X3 NFC vs X3 Pro):
SnapD. 732G vs 860, Adreno 618 vs 640, UFS 2.1 vs 3.1
Main Cam Exmor RS IMX682 vs IMX582, Selfie Unknown CMOS vs S5K3T2
So I wonder if the X3 NFC ROM development is of any additional use for the X3 Pro?

No, Qualcomm 8XX uses a different development platform than 7XX
The good thing is that my new script that I developed on the Poco X3 NFC should also work well on the new X3 Pro. It allows to remove the read-only lock so you can fully debloat and customize your device. I wonder if any X3 Pro users have tried it yet?
I mean, the phone is cheap, and poco does have generally good rom support. We just have to wait for TWRP

I concur... I'm just waiting on LineageOS support after a compatible version of TWRP becomes available
Well, It should has a lot of roms for 2 reasons :
- first mid-range device with flagship cpu & gpu
- lower cost
so why not ? it's good spot for developers

I agree, but most people bought Poco X3 NFC and it created more hype than Poco X3 Pro imo, so I think that It will have good development, but not as Poco X3. Poco X3 is currently the best Xiaomi device regarding ROM development activity imo.
But If I haven't bought Poco X3 NFC, I would buy the Pro version for sure.

They just buildbot and most of them get rejected from official. What matters is less quantity and better quality.
In the Telegram Poco X3 Pro Updates group I saw a Pixel 5 Port done, so this seems to be the first Custom ROM at least what I saw.

Question Is the POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux) not worth a recommendation?

We have a bunch of POCO X3 NFC (surya) running ArrowOS and I'm just thinking of buying two POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux), because it's Black Friday discounted and there is an official A13 version of ArrowOS for it, though there doesn't seem to be going on much here and there is also no ArrowOS thread in the "Development" section (why?).
So with the intention of installing ArrowOS 13 VANILLA right from the start, is the POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux) a recommendation or not (and if not, what else better to be used with ArrowOS 13)?
I am using ArrowOS and have no issues. Battery life is the same as stock without bloated apps.
i dont think this veux is a good phone to have, lot of downgrade from its predecessor unless youre desperately lookin for 5G phone.

What I meant The predecessor was the Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet),
Here's my gripe :
1. at least on Indonesian miui flavor I can't do longer exposure than 15sec on the main lens unlike like my X3 Pro before (30 secs) ,
2. I'm sure the camera quality are at least similar with my X3 Pro (Vayu) but sometimes PEUX is better,
3. I could no longer play my library of ripped hdr Blu ray with HW acceleration on this phone or watch YouTube HDR videos.
PS : only bought this phone cause my vayu just died & I think the non pro X3 (Surya) with the 64mp Sony sensor will be a better shooter.
I recommend! veux is buttersmooth + safe with arrowos a13!
here the link: https://www.arrowos.net/download
click on poco on the sidebar, there you'll find veux!
