Is it worth getting Poco F2 Pro coming from S10?
If you like MIUI and need the extra GPU power for games. I would wait. Upgraded from a S7 Edge but that was a 4 year old device.
I upgraded from exynos S9 and I'm more than happy. Longer battery life and this crazy speed and responsiveness.

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
Hey, I have both phones to use(I can install custom firmware as well), I wonder which one would be better.
My thoughts so far:
The redmi note 9 pro is slightly too big for me, has better camera than the F1, slightly weaker than the F1, but honestly I don't really do any intense gaming so not sure how much difference that would make.
Battery life depends on the ROM I guess, so not sure.
Can someone help me understand which one would be better for me?
Thanks!
Try and error.
One phone for main use, the other for backup.
Last months after android 12 update im having lags, problems on my bluetooth devices , battery and so on...using it about a year almost..
an upgrade....the OP10 seems a bit junky also...
But what are you saying about xiomi 12 pro and poco f4 gt?
If Europe had snapdragon in the s22 line ill took the ultra but...ya all know its crappy exynos...
I just want a stable user experience, maximum power good quality speakers and as everyone goood battery life.
Hello! So recently my samsung s20 got that infamous green screen issue it comes and go now and then and been looking out for something with good game performance that I can actually run genshin impact and the only thing I can afford is the poco x3 pro so here I am asking if ist worth it to change from s20 to x3 pro and if I should stick to miui or go custom rol and kernel and how hard ist
The phone is great however some people say that it's hardbricking due to HW (PMIC) issue.
MIUI for me is super buggy...
So I would recommend a custom ROM.
It's super easy to do but you need to wait 168h to unlock bl.
But if your phone hardbricks then probably no warranty.

go for x4 gt
Only 8 gb of ram is going to hurt.
Consider a used N10+, very capable, extremely reliable with one of best AMOLED displays there is.

Games are not that optimized for mediatek chips
That's a very bad decision you made there, buddy

You're better off getting your screen replaced than to switch to X3 Pro tbh.
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!
