Here comes all the samr criticism that happen when Pocophone F1 is launched.
Case 1: Want this Poco F2 Pro has everything that Samsung S20 Plus or Ultra has. Please admit that you are the greedy consumer that want everything at this price point. And when some brand really do it with cost cutting features, you complain and demand more on the cost cutting phone rather than yell at the expensive one. Common consumer greedy mindset.
Case 2: Complain this Poco F2 Pro has nothing to offer. Nobody is forcing you to buy new smartphone, just stay with your current one and enjoy using it while it still last.
Case 3: Complain this successor is more expensive than Poco F1. You should just stick to the old Poco F1, because you doesn't talk with specs by specs comparison. Do you really think this Poco F2 Pro will be sold well if stick to the old plastic body, using poor quality LCD screen, exclude NFC, 18W charging, just 1 useful camera. Same notched or punch hole screen. I think there still have people to buy it, the price can be lower, but the sales will be much less.
All in all, it all comes down to preference, and nothing can be said is more superior and inferior if compared to other smartphone. Just pick the smartphone that meet your expectations. Just need to bear in mind that at this price point, you cannot get everything.

punisher, 08 Jun 2020I think u are misunderstanding the discussion. Its not abou... moreAs I already mentioned, enjoy your outmodeled phone while it lasts and let the new Poco F2 Pro owners with better specs enjoy theirs. Time will come when it will need to go too and become outperformed/outmodeled/outpriced by another newer, faster model. No need to call the Poco F2 Pro phone 'trash' because how can a MUCH improved version for just $51 more be trash? (Prices are based on SRP, not the discounted, depreciated prices that happen months later).
As I said, stop criticizing the successor of the your Mi 9T. You'll only sound desperate and sourgraping.

Its not about fanboyism or different spec. Its about current price modeling which is obvious. Gsmarena will not write neutral review about same stuff and it doesnt matter because after what i wrote personally to gsmarena i know where they stand at the moment. You should read where it counts. Xda wrote article about flagship have flagship killers specs from last year. There is same explanation what i thought already from the beginning. The truth about current pricing model. But hey if u are interesting u should read it to where it counts. The problem is not one or anorher phone model the problem is that u pay more for less. Read the xda article then come back and comment what u want. Its so obvious what is happening the a donkey can understand it. Qualcomm already had problems in the past and im pretty sure that they will have problen with current sd865 requirement or should i say forced requirement. However i understand your opinion as its a natural thing when it comes to evolution. Every upcoming generation would naturally be a successor to previous model but i still think u are wrong because of money grabbing marketing politics.

Would have been better if 5000mah and 120hz display then just 1 camera (poco's appeal should be the flagship chipset and big battery, nothing more, but 120hz makes it gamer-friendly in the future)

Specs are specs and especially since both phones were made by the same manufacturer, it won't change the facts I already mentioned stating why the newer Poco F2 Pro is actually SO MUCH better in specs and pricing.
I can certainly understand your frustration especially if you just recently bought your Mi 9T Pro and then just a few months after, the Poco F2 Pro became available. No need to justify you made the right purchase in the Mi 9T Pro. It was right for you because there was no Poco F2 Pro yet during the time of your purchase.
Just enjoy your outmodeled phone then and let the new Poco F2 Pro owners enjoy theirs. No need to call their Poco F2 Pro phone 'trash'. You'll only sound desperate and sourgraping.

Anonymous, 08 Jun 2020Actually, its a newer, much improved version of the Mi 9T P... moreI think u are wrong. U cant possibly justify what u wrote as its a better. If u can compare new sensor 64mp to old one in mi 9t pro there is no improvement at all. Its more or less worse then 48 mp sensor which is in mi 9t pro, there is already a ton of comparison out there between new and opd senso!. Better battery. I get 12h in sot with mi 9t pro. 5g you can forget about 5g. 5g is only specification on paper. Thats it for the 5g. U cant use it unless u live next door to 5g antenna in California. The whole world is not California!!!!!!!!. It lacks laser af which is used in low light conditions and its necessary so u avoid lighting before it auto focus. Lets call it a prefetcher for laser af. Even 865 vs 855 is somewhat the same. U can clearly see the real life use in youtube comparison between f2 pro and mi 9t pro which is the same more or less. Your statement about 64mp is rubbish. 64mp is also present in note 8 pro which cost about 200e. Yep i bought it for 200e. For pricing about mi 9t pro i bought it for 308e. So yes therr is big difference between 308e and 480e from local seller. 480e is the cheapest i found about f2 pro. But i see successors in diferent angle then u and other people. 480-308. For 172e difference i dont see alot of improvement except the screen size. And that is not worth to just throw away 172e just for the sake of new generation. Not at all. But we are all different people. The best phone out there in new generation is find x2 pro because of complete set up. It still uses 48mp count but its way way better then any of mentioned above. U can read plenty of articles about new sony 64 mp sensor which sits in f2 pro and u will see that actually there is no improvement except pixel count which also sits in note 8 pro as a pixel count!!!. So no i dont think its worth the upgrade. If im gonna spend plus 172e more then i will wait for sd 875 which will be a very large jump compared to currrnt configurations. Hell i will throw plus 100e more just for the sake of argument.

This is first time... moreThey're not bugs. They're quirks brought about by the varying manufacturer skins being used by all Android phone makers to stand out from the cut throat competition in the android world. That and the sheer number of hardware variations, specs and screen aspect ratios and dimensions and designs that Android runs on plus the fact that android is a free world that doesn't forbid unlimited customizations like Apple's devices.
If iOS and iPadOS ran on such a multitude of hardware
and with the same freedom and liberty android provides, I'm sure IOS would have fatal bugs it won't run at all and that bionic processor will cower in sheer incapacity.

I am using this phone for several days.
This is first time for me to use Andriod, not completely satisfied, little buggy compared to iPhone, but good enough and happy with the price.

punisher, 07 Jun 2020Phone still doesnt have laser af, fm radio and telephoto ca... moreActually, its a newer, much improved version of the Mi 9T Pro: The Poco F2 Pro has:
1. Bigger, brighter, better HDR10+ screen than the Mi 9T Pro
2. Bigger battery, faster battery charging than the Mi 9T Pro,
3. Higher spec but more expensive and much faster processor than the Mi 9T Pro.
4. Has 5G where the Mi 9T Pro only has 4G.
5. Has more LTE bands for better worldwide LTE coverage whereas the Mi 9T only has China LTE bands and limited Asia bands
6. Has newer, better impoved camera sensors (64 megapixels + macro + ultrawide) with improved camera jpeg colors and exposure.
7. Has ability to record in 8K 24fps and 30fps which even other flagship phones from other 2x more expensive brands don't offer and
8. Only costs around $51 more than the cheapest Mi 9T Pro 64 GB version ($447.5 SRP) but wait:
IT HAS DOUBLE the storage space for just $51 more (Poco F2 Pro 128GB = $499 SRP)!
And for this added $51, not only do you have double the storage, its faster too! (UFS 3.1 vs UFS 2.1)
As you can see, the Poco F2 Pro is a WAAAAAY much better deal than the Mi 9T Pro, its predecessor. You're probably just having buyer's remorse. If I were you, I'd sell your older Mi 9T Pro now before it loses even more value because for just $51 more, the Poco F2 Pro is a waaaaaay better buy for so much less. Of course, it doesn't have FM radio but I'm sure Xiaomi can add it in future updates like in the case of the Mi A1. Snapdragon 865 has the hardware to support FM radio. Also, more advanced users will find a way to install one on the Poco F2 Pro just as they managed to install GCam with Night Sight to the similar K30 Pro.

Which is better value realme x50 Pro 5g and poco f2 Pro 5g, also is it worth upgrading from a pocophone f1? I don't have 5G in my area, though is available 7 miles away plus my sim carrier doesn't support 5g yet. I don't use NFC during corona virus lock down but would use it in future I think

Anonymous, 07 Jun 2020another xiaomi fail. go for oneplus 7 pro, way betterOneplus 7 Pro is an older phone with older processor and lower battery capacity. It's also more expensive with nothing meaningful to offer. Between the Poco F2 Pro and Oneplus 7 Pro, the Poco is a much better phone to choose.

It's newer, with faster processor, much larger battery, flat screen, has 3.5mm jack and IR blaster and has 8K recording with better out of camera jpeg colors and exposure. Forget about high refresh rate screens. 99.9% of users don't see them or can appreciate their benefits. Same with OIS when there's GCam with Night Sight.
