Xiaomi's Pocophone F2 might not have 5G, at least in some markets

01 May 2020
The phone received got the needed certification in Indonesia with 4G bands only.

Lapis Wolf, 01 May 2020I actually like the presence of a macro camera. Quite fun. ... moreThe macro lens in many of these phones are generally useless as they are so low resolution (2 - 5MP only). In fact, simply cropping the high res images form the main camera will yield the same /better result since the resolution of the main cameras are so high (48-64MP).

The macro lens is just a cheap way to add lens so they can claim "quad camera." The parts used for it is low res and probably cost nothing. Same with their "depth" sensor, another useless camera just so they can claim they have 4 cameras. In reality, only the main camera is useful, with the ultra wide being mediocre.

              That article link is more than just " interesting ", it's mind-blowing... to which I have actually uninstalled the mint browser because of reading its contents and not only that, I was skeptical of it since it started opening itself up when I have a different browser set as my default browser!

                Lapis Wolf, 01 May 2020I actually like the presence of a macro camera. Quite fun. ... moreI had wireless charger in my Lumia 830 and i still use it without sim to play some games or i have Nexus 7 2013 that have wireless charger too and even tough it's 7 years old it still works. Wireless charging is nothing special as you can buy it that connects in your type-c or micro usb port and will be between phone and case if you really need to have it and that thing dont cost even 1 euro. This phone will never sell well anyways cause it's not Poco f1 that was best specs for a bang. It cost 300 euro and this one 650 euro wont probably sell well. The reason i went with Xiaomi was that it was with good specs on low budget but now as it seems to be in the level of samsung, huawei and the like then i dont care. Samsung at least have decent hardware phones for under 150mm tall phones too like A40

Also wireless charging is quite convenient so it adds value to a phone. Why do you think so many people wanted OnePlus to add it to their phones?

                            Lousy site, not letting people edit their comments on phones even in dekstop mode. It's ironical how a site about phones has itcs functionality severely reduced on phones, you can rarely see a site than is handicaped on phones even in dekstop mode.

                                I like to keep my phones for at least e years and use them at max brightness outside, not interested in a fashion amoled phone for hipsters.

                                  Indonesia still don't have 5G regulation. They will lock the 5G like Huawei P40 Pro and unlock it when 5G regulation become available.

                                    Doesn't matter. This phone is bland either way. It's a rebranded budget phone, that has nothing special to offer. Poco F1 was an original phone, and had an enticing price tag to brag about. Poco F2 is not the same case. You can get better phones from better brands out there for the same price bracket.

                                      Who needs 5G? Replicate the same formula, ignore unnecessary trends (5G modem that barely works anywhere, Macro Lens, wireless charging) and focus on specs, software and price - it'll be a winner.
