    Telemacro is not the same as Telephoto. Furthermore, the main camera lacks OIS, and the additional sensors aren't that high quality. Looks more like trying to tick checkboxes in a spec sheet so that mindless drones feel happy about it, rather than being smart how to spend that camera budget (i.e., OIS in the main sensor would be much more useful than those extra cameras). Things would be significantly different if they had put the same cameras as the K30 Zoom Edition, that would be a true successor to the Mi 9T Pro.

Now imagine much they'll raise prices next year watching the actual trend. While people doesn't watch it and close wallets for phones like this and others like Velvet, OP8, etc... profit it. Never Settle!!! In prices.

            now imagine this config but with LCD 144Hz like Vivo iQOO Neo3.
            probably it would be cheaper because of LCD screen.
            how could they miss it?

                  [deleted post]I don't think so

                    Qualcomm has monopoly for expensive sd 865. Poco should be released with mediatek 1000+ so price will be 300-350 dollar

                        Next product from Poco is Poco M2 Pro.

                          Are you guys knowingly not considering Realme X50 Pro ? Most shortcomings are addressed throught that phone and the price-point is similar.

                            actually! good phone but price is high at this range phones

                              S Irfan, 18 May 2020I Was Waiting for This Phone for a Very Long Time. But Now... moreI know the Realme seems to be a good alternative, but it's actually not, first you have to get the 128Go version to get ufs 3.0, and how much is that? Like 50€ cheaper? And the camera sensor in the X2 pro is the infamous Samsung GW1 you find in so many budget phones, so if you're fine with this, go for the X2 pro, but if you want to compare the F2 Pro with a Realme phone, it should be the X50 Pro. As for alternatives, I'd go for the OnePlus 7T.

But Now... moreWhat a coincidence, i also have the exact same thought, but there's one catch for me, what about 5G technology? isn't 5G supposed to available everywhere in 1-2 years? when that happens, wouldn't realme X2 pro price will freefall?

                                    You clearly don't understand the concept of POCO.

                                      GsmArena team you are completely out of touch

                                      If you think the Poco phone f2 pro is what the people were waiting for..

                                      You make claims about people flooding comments back in the day about the successor

                                      And you've not even realized so many unhappy remarks about the Poco f2 pro... On your own website

                                      I've even see people in anticipation of iqoo neo 3 india.. I barely see hype around the f2 pro Vs the F1 back in the day
