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
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.

This looks to be the ideal 'compact' flagship phone.
Will update thread when resellers have it.

That's probably you're only option unless there is a global release. Custom roms are good with popular Xiaomi phones.
I would have already ordered if it had all LTE bands .. but some are missing (for Germany)
so I will skip the Mi12 and stay with my Mi11.
The Global device will cost to much in germany... thats why I always buy a CN import device
Cheapest at AliExpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesal...lesale&SortType=price_desc&page=1&groupsort=1
More availability to Australia than EU/UK/US though, like the 12X - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003744772674.html

Where did you see the list of bands?
Giztop had the lowest price. Use code alexwang for 3.5% discount.
Just got email phone was dispatched today.
I have Xiaomi 12 pro, but I don't know how to sell it to people in other countries. Maybe ebay is a good choice，I can put it on ebay if you need it
got mine today from tradingshenzen delivered to a suburban of germany/berlin
I purchased some from a Retail store in China. So far they've been really great....I just need to change to global version as Im not a fan of the CN one.
I got mine from a seller on eBay UK. CN rom with Google apps side loaded. Got the phone plus 3 cases. It cost me £450 after eBay gave me a discount.
I agree with eshlad about the CN rom, especially the Chinese notifications plus it doesn't connect to my car.
It has one plus point though, better signal reception than my Mi 11.

Huawei P50 Pro and P50 Pocket global rollout officially starts

Personally I'm waiting to see if there's a GMS sideload method. I rely too much on google unfortunately. I had a P40 Pro for a while but back then it was possible to sideload Google services so there weren't any major issues... Unfortunately the Mate 40 Pro (global version) users cannot install Google Play Services TO THIS DAY, and I'm afraid it will be the same with the P50 Pro. The only "solution" is to buy a Chinese variant from China. For whatever reason, the LZPlay/Googlefier apps work on Chinese variants but not on Global ones. Not ideal!
Also the price is kinda high. €1199 in France. Freebuds Pro included for a short time. I was hoping it would be below €1k but I was deluding myself.
Price is 1199€ in Germany stores also, not very competitive pricing, but I guess some people will still buy it.
By pre-order, I bought a Huawei P50 Pro (JAD--LX9, Snapdragon 888 4G) in Russia on February 8 for 1025 euros. According to the promotion, Huawei Watch 3 Active LTE 46mm (305 euros) was received as a gift with the order.
I think it's a great price. Taking into account the fact that Samsung S22+ we have 1100 euros on pre-order, and S22 Ultra 1420. And as a bonus, there are only Galaxy Buds Pro (160 euros)
