Flashlight strength - Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans

Hey
Compared to all the other phones I've crossed, even the Xiaomi ones, the LED light is not very powerful.
Is it just mine or your F2 have a weak flashlight LED too?
Cheers!

Agreed same on mine. Even on my old cheap xperia phone the flash is more powerfull :crying:

me too.
more battery life

Same for me, my old Lg G6 is more strong but F2 pro as a more natural light imo, better to take photo, less good in flashlight

It's better than my gfs iPhone 11 pro max

I can watch at LED lights on my phone when I turn it on. It powerful strong ,two LED light when is on, shine so bright that my whole room is on light

You should check the robin-egg color variant (available in china )
It is damn gorgeous
I'm using Honor 9 for a few days and everything is perfect
Overall 100% love for this phone. :laugh:
Two thumbs up for this.
It's beautiful device with good specs and features..
Just loved it..
I had bought a Xiaomi Note 4X back in August in 36 monthly installments loan from the shop i work at.After i saw Honor 9 in blue , I had no hesitation...its on my desk now and yesterday the Note 4x was sold...
Amazing design , hidden power in a small package and very convenient fingerprint sensor !
I come from a Galaxy Note 3 that had custom roms for the last 2 years and I wanted to get a smaller phone.
Pros:
+Fingerprint Sensor
Incredibly fast and reliable
+Headphone Jack
+Value for money
+GPS - Very fast and stable
+4G, 3G, 2G all better than my Note 3
Mediocre:
+/-Design
This thing just look awsome and feels great but is is very slippery. You have to use a case or it will slide down your couch or nightstand 100 %.
That nills the super nice feature of a camera that is plain with the backcover.
Great idea to have the volume rocker and the power button on the same side
+/- Build quality
Overall really nice but you can feel some edges where the materials meet and the buttons are a bit wobbly, nothing to worry about though.
+/- Notification LED
Ok, it is there, but the settings limit it very much. You can not effin turn it off while your phone is charging, resulting in a night-light next to you when you charge at night.
Nicely hidden under the mesh of the ear speaker.
+/- Camera
Aparture 2.2 is just not state of the art anymore. At night the pictures are hideous.
2x zoom combines the colour and monochrome sensor with minimal detail loss at day but at night the pictures do not look good (also unzoomed)
Good day shots with poor edge detection for the bokeh effect, some nice and unique setting options in the camera menu
+/- Speaker
Yeah, Stereo speakers are still the best you can get but compared to my Note 3 the speaker is a huge improvement and sounds pretty good
+-/ Headphone jack position.
It is on the bottom of the phone, would have beed nice if they found a way to put it on top but that is a matter of taste I guess
Cons:
-Screen
Coming from a Note 3 (launched 2013) with an AMOLED the screen is really a let down for me.
Especially on low brightness it is not as comfortable for your eyes as the Note 3 screen and pixels are clearly visable altough it is much small an has the same resolution.
Double tab to wake is missing (was available on the honor 7)
Max brightness is OK but not top (definity enough in 99 % of all use cases)
Blacks look quite good for an LCD
Good viewing angles
- Front Camera
"Beauty" filter can not be turned of fully
Very low quality sensor
-No IP certification - your H9 will definitely die in water over time but should survive the toilet drop of doom if you are quick enough to get it out
Nogo:
-Software
Bought with B130 Firmware, now on B180 and there is a major issue with the touch screen as you can read here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/help/scrolling-delay-t3665877
If this is a hardware and not a software but it is even worse
Also scrolling is not smooth and you get jump-loading, most clearly visable on the 9gag app.
This bothers me less than the scrolling delay but it is still a major issue, as the hardware should be capable of perfect smooth scrolling with ease.
No option to wake but not unlock your phone with the fingerprint sensor. Either you unlock it and come to the homescreen with a safed finger ID or if the finger ID is not saved or recognised (what very rarely happens) the phone just vibrates but the screen stays black
I swidched from Honor 7 and well, I can't get used to the larger height and I'm missing soft navigation bar too. The home button and top of screen are too far away, which makes it difficult to use it. It is really pitty, that soft navigation bar cannot be enabled
Honor 9 is amazing device worked fanstastic speed!
Camera is beast on new software B180 on video record is on software stabilization on huawei and is very good!
Photos is best!
Perfromacnce / Design / Battery is very nice phone!
Better P10 And P10 Plus / 6 ram version on h9 for plus!
The smaller form factor and the powerful specs on the Honor 9 make it one of my favorite Honor phones.

Flashlight weak brightness

I bought few days ago the oneplus 6 and today I tried the flashlight and it is very weak, I compared to my old Xiaomi mi 5s and there is a huge difference.
Is my phone defective or it is just weak?
There is anyting we can do to improve the brightness?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6000 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I totally agree. Nobody mentions the quality of the led flash in reviews unfortunately. It's really weak and your device is not broken. The flash on the Nokia 8 is like 2x brighter
Yeah it's really weak compared to my other phones.

my thoughts on the poco f1(OP3 user)

My thoughts on the poco f1
I sold my OP 3 for 9k and bought a poco f1 for 16k after offers. Huge upgrade for just 7k.
My opinion on the poco f1:
Cons :
Having to get rid of bloat feels pretty ****ty. It makes the phone feel much less premium than it already is.
The display is good at best. I miss the blacks from my 3.
The radius of the corners is way too high.
The notch is pretty big and prevents NOTIFICATIONS from popping up in the NOTIFICATION BAR...
Multi touch problems with the screen. You can tell that they really compromised here.
Aggressive memory management on miui 9.6
The phone's kinda heavy. Hurts more when it inevitably falls on your face. Especially with a Spigen case.
The theme store's categories and titles are plain hilarious.
Pros:
Cheap af
Durable af
Face unlock is ridiculously good. Ive not seen my lockscreen for days(you can disable this though)
Games are pretty damn smooth
Loud ass speaker.
Great camera with GCAM 6.1
Miui 10 brings loads of improvements and fixes and the developers are actively listening to the community.
Display gets really dim at night. Way better than the op3. I think it does 2.5 nits?
The battery is ****ing amazing. 2 hrs of pubg, a bunch of YouTube, email, Reddit, slides, with Auto brightness, the GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and mbile data on both Sims on,. I ended up with 12 hrs of SOT. Huge improvement from the 5 I used to get on the OP3
Display with HDR on is pretty impressive.
Plenty or third party Dev support to help every Dev out with his life.
Some MIUI features are great. Lots of settings to scroll through
Headphone jack!!!
i see people speaking about multi touch issues but i have this phone for around 2 months and i've never felt an issue. please tell me what is ur issue with multi touch?
People throw away much more than $300 every month. Not sure what they complaining about with this phone. it's good if you are happy with it period.

Try playing pubg with it. If you're moving with the least side and aiming with the right. The screen spazzes out.

actually i play pubg alot recently, never had this issue. now i'm trying the claw (playing with 4 fingers) and i suck at it but touch accuracy is top. try a multi touch app from the play store and check with it if it doesn't track your fingers correctly as it might be a problem with ur unit.

Yup poco has hdr lcd, you can search for youtube hdr videos, you'll only get hdr options in quality settings if your device has hdr screen. I don't see much difference though tbh.

Poco f1 can reach 480 nits peak brightness and it can play 1080p HDR videos (auto brightness) and to an extent it does the job but don't compare it with true oled based HDR displays which have more than 1000 nits of brightness and more vivid colors
Those complaining about the multi touch issue is when then press q,p and Back button at the very corner. I didn't play PUBG so I am good. Mobile Legends doesn't cause problem for me

Definitely. Their upgrade program is pretty enticing too. Especially after they dropped the 128gb version to 22k it's a really good deal. I recommend it.

Screen green tint?

When I place Poco F2 pro right next to LG G8 the Poco F2 pro is obviously more green. I just used a page of xda to compare. Its much worse when viewed at an angle. When I had LG v30, I had 2 and one of them was green the other had a beautiful accurate screen. So I know this could be a quality control issue. I wonder if it's just my device that has this problem or do you guys have it too? Actually it might be caused by the screen protector too, has anyone taken it off? What do you see?
It must be quality control issue. Both my k20 Pro and K30 pro Zoom edition have beautiful screen. The note 7 Pro is terrible (LCD screen). I also have iPhone SE (2020) it has worse screen.

It looks like we are the unlucky ones. I am almost certain it's a quality control issue now, because of the above comment and if you look at some unboxing video on YouTube, you can see the youtubers have the correct display.
Also, the tint is not exactly green but yellowish too. Somewhat in between. But when I look at an angle, it's mostly green

I did a better comparison today with daylight.
I do use glass screenprotector but i dont think it has any negative effect. The screen has noticable color shift (wave like) when you look phone screen from the right. From other sides its OK.
Edit: i compered to my k20 pro and iPhone SE (2020). The k20 Pro has also color shift from the right (same pattern wave like) but way less than my K30 Pro Zoom edition. iPhone SE has maybe little color shift to the blueish-magenta color.
I tested on white background with full brightness on all phones. On straight on view all 3 phones have no green or yellow color wave shift.
Edit2: I did have green tint on K20 Pro when i installed 75 Hz mod in low brightness. Thats why i removed it

I dont know why only from the right. It reminds me IPS panels. IPS panels have also this wave like pattern (but white color-the screen glowes) when viewed from sides (my note 7 pro and my Dell monitor).
Do you see the green tint straight on with white background?

Interesting, thats really bad on yours. How does it look when you switch to original color gamus. I think its software. Also I always use original color gamut, i hate when phones change color based on lightning or time of the day.

In fact when I try to take pictures with my LG g8 to compare to yours. My phone actually shows a more correct color in both cases although in my eyes it's the opposite. That means G8's camera has a bad color shift.
Maybe a stupid question but did you remove the stock screen protector.
I notice the stock screen protector when I want to apply my termpered class version.

No and that's why I asked people if the screen is beautiful even with the protector on. I am afraid taking it off would affect return. Do you see a big difference after taking it off

On my device I do not see green tint but I have black crush which the only way to make it go away is to enable dc dimming and using automatic or saturated mode. Also on light gray colors i see that the screen is not uniform. It is a bit more bright on top and bottom. Mi9t had a lot better screen... Disappointed totally.
I got a Poco F2 Pro piss edition...
Waiting on my second one, hope this will be okay. Else this was my first and last xiaomi device.
Depending on the brightness it is better or worse. But even at 100% it is notable on everything from white to grey. All apps show this Problem.

Poco X3 Face unlock not working in the night

The Face unlock does not seem to work in the night. It works perfectly alright on the Poco F1 and really really fast! Its one of the best Face unlocks one can experience. You also see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock. However, this is completely missing on the Poco X3.
Because it doesnt have IR Sensor on its front that has capability on seeing light even on the dark... While the Poco X3 NFC has the capability to have a face unlock, it still need a decent light to scan up faces and it uses A.I. Tech

Thanks for your reply.
You would be right, but isn't that like a downgrade. Its not that I will be using it very frequently, but i did notice right on the first night, so probably it is going to be missed out.
Given the situation, I dont think this can be fixed in the next updates as well.

POCO F1 is Series Flagship, and Poco X3 is midrange. so technically it is downgrade. and if you don't know how IR camera works, good luck for using it at night.

Yeah, its permanent, you cant tweak it because it is on its hardware... it doesnt have the capability... because if they would add ir sensor, it will cost them again at designing and manufacturing it so it would cost maybe $20-$40 more on the Poco X3's price and that would that personally me can't buy it because I'm really on a tighta budget
The 'spirit' or idea of the poco series was supposed to be budget flagship. The first Poco F1 had things missing to reduce cost. Like plastic back etc.
This year the SD865 an SD865 plus had 5G modums making it very difficult to repeat the exact success of the F1.
So this year they aimed for flagship 'experience' as well as low cost with a midrange device. Again some things left out to reduce cost.
They could of left out NFC for me an put front firing infrared camera for face unlock.
In New Zealand almost no one uses NFC. We use pay wave on chipped debit cards instead.
But the X3 hits the mark of providing a flagship experience mostly.
The F2 pro missed it in 2 major ways. Price an refresh rate. It got way too high in price in an effort to repeat the F1 experience.
So the X3 is a nice middle ground.
Can't wait till I try mine in November
You guys are missing a major point here, although there is no IR Camera, but thank God, there is also not a huge f**ing notch on it's forehead

Recently i switched form f1 to x3 pro.
I tried face unlock in dark environment and it didn't work.
Problem was from my screen protector that cover the infrared blaster.
After removing screen protector,
I can see the Infrared light glow when it tries to Unlock and it works fine.
