Why does this have a smaller battery capacity but shows more video playback life than the mi 10T pro? The tests said they dont use high refresh rate for the mi 10T pro
Also, I am hearing really bad things about the latest update, is it not worth buying? This is 200 euros cheaper than mi 10T pro and I am looking at both.

need to frequently use maximum volume on the Poco F2 Pro. Some headphones are difficult to drive at higher volumes so rather than giving up your favorite headphone, you can use instead a headphone amplifier. That way, you'll have very little distortion in music when you like to listen loud. Warning though, listening at very loud volumes can damage hearing.

Anonymous, 30 Jan 2021I think the buggy Android 11 is a mistake Xiaomi made. I do... moreIt is. The Poco F2 Pro Android 11 update is the worst update software with terrible bugs that Xiaomi released for a Xiaomi phone in a decade. That's based on my experience with 10+ other Xiaomi phones and tablets our household owns past and present.

Anonymous, 07 Feb 2021Why i cant play pubg mobile LITE in hd graphics settings???... moreSame reason why you can't play Amazon Prime movies in HD. The phone may have the hardware and software to play games and movies in HD but if it's not whitelisted by the developer of the app, the app won't support it.

Satya, 07 Feb 2021Ya, just started realising it.. I really wonder when a feat... moreYes, I also bought this phone because XIAOMI WIDELY PUBLICIZED then that it has Widevine L1 certification, which I thought will allow me to wirelessly screen share offline Netflix downloads in HD from my Poco F2 Pro's 256GB internal storage to my big screen TV and projector. (The MAIN reason in the first place why I chose to pay more for 256GB storage given the phone doesn't have micro SD expansion).
To my extreme chagrin, the phone only plays back offline Netflix downloads IN-PHONE. Once wirelessly screen shared to smart TV's with Miracast, it plays a blank screen or crashes horribly that you need to restart the phone! I never had this problem even with cheap midrange Samsung phones that cost much less and yes, even with my 4+ year old LG phone. With other streaming services, expect even more unpredictability and disappointment. That's why my advise to buyers: DO NOT EVER TRUST China based phone brands (Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Oneplus, Realme etc.) to deliver a problem free and seamless streaming experience. Hollywood studios and US based streaming services don't trust these China brands and they have the last say. So even if those China phones have the DRM Widevine L1 certification and hardware to support HDCP encryption, you still won't be guaranteed a problem free streaming experience. Just don't trust them with DRM encoded content. You'll only regret the purchase. Get a Samsung, Sony, LG or Asus instead and spare yourself from the headache and regret later.

I really wonder when a feature not working despite clear demonstration during Europe launch event of Poco F2 pro..

Milky, 05 Feb 2021Okay, update seems to be buggier than previously thought, s... moreDo a factory reset, don't use a custom launcher, don't turn on developer options. If you do, then at least, don't turn off MIUI optimization, and don't adjust 'Smallest width' to larger than 600dp or many built in Xiaomi apps will crash. There will be many other persistent bugs that won't go away so just be at peace with the fact that Xiaomi wants its users to suffer until the next several updates be able to correct the bugs. There's no way of rolling back to Android 10 because Xiaomi intentionally disabled it by equipping the Android 11 update with anti rollback protection that you can't disable even with the bootloader already unlocked. Default behavior in other Android phones (Ex. Android One and Pixel phones) is that anti rollback is disabled once the bootloader is unlocked. Xiaomi probably wants the China government backdoors intact with every new update so no rollbacks allowed.

Okay, update seems to be buggier than previously thought, split screen really offends it, crashes apps, causes reboot, gesture navigation has gone from the best I've used on Android to extremely unreliable and flaky so have to revert to three buttons, camera HDR sets itself to off every time, despite setting to on, when sharing videos the gallery app crashes, hangs for about 10 seconds before proceeding, sometimes it shares the video, others a blank, black 'video' al appears that is useless, the screen on time counter in settings > battery > usage is fine until about 6 hours, then seems to either stop or go down, despite same usage pattern of usually about 10-12 hours screen on over a few days on a full charge, native file manager blanking out, crashing when try to copy and paste, interaction with text on websites when want to copy and paste or prompt search from them is now unreliable, either selects or just struggles to seem to grasp the text, cursor in text boxes kind of vanishes, no words then suddenly all catch up in a rush, menu won't always appear; is this similar for others or is my device basically boinked? I'm reluctant to reset as inconvenient but it wasn't like this before updating!

I recently bought a mask Original GKK 360 ° Mask for Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro Black it is OK because it completely protects the main module with cameras but it is very smooth and slippery almost like only the glass on the Poco. Which you recommend without being rough.

Anybody here successfully rolled back their Android 11 updated Poco F2 Pro to stock Android 10? I tried but failed to rollback due to ARB (anti-rollback) error when flashing the Android 10 fastboot image, even with the bootloader already unlocked. It seems Xiaomi wants Poco F2 users to suffer the bugs in the horrible Android 11 update.

Goldengolum, 02 Feb 2021Sugestions please. I can buy Mi10t pro (256GB/8GB) for 326€... morePersonally, I'd save or wait a bit more (until prices go down) and get the Poco F2 Pro. The wonderfully bezel free, HOLE-free AMOLED display with beautiful, deep, saturated colors and inky blacks and piercing whites in a gorgeous HDR10+ display is a PRICELESS experience.
High refresh rate is something you don't notice after a short while but that saturated, bright Amoled screen with deep blacks and that perfect hole free near bezel less display is something you WILL ALWAYS be going to SORELY MISS as soon as you switch to a dull looking, single holed, double holed or notched display. The high refresh rate screen will never compensate for that big ugly selfie camera hole or two. Notched and hole punch displays are just so stupid to be still around in 2021.
They're the ugliest thing in modern phones. Even the most expensive flagship phones, are ruined by them they don't stand a chance sitting next to a perfectly hole free display.
However, if you are after longevity (that is, if you intend to keep the phone for ar least 4 years), get an IPS based display. Amoled doesn't last as long as IPS. Otherwise, you're itching for a regular 2-3 phone replacement, Amoled will do.

Sugestions please. I can buy Mi10t pro (256GB/8GB) for 326€ or Poco F2 (128GB/6GB) for 432€. On mi10 I prefer the 144hz, 256GB/8GB of RAM and the price, while on the poco the oled screen, no punchole and the headphone jack.
Should I save some money and go for mi10t pro, or go for the poco f2?
