Poco F2 Pro Review After 3 Months - One of the Best $400 Phones!

[@TechLineHD]

If you had only $400 for a phone, would you choose the Poco F2 Pro or another model? Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpOmeKevpZljgLs

[@hermanstokbrood]

My first choice would be an even more sensible choice the Poco X3. But my second choice would be the Poco F2 pro. Besides, money has nothing to do with it. It's just a matter of common sense I guess.

[@TheAxebitten]

Definitely this one. Love the full no notch screen

i watch this video with poco f2 pro

[@jolesad3476]

One question dude is this phone shooting dual video using selfie and main camera like huawei nova 7 5g and which one of those devices is better since are both similar in prices? Could you please feedback this?

[@scellyyt]

Watching this on my Poco f2 pro. Absolutely no regrets on the purchase, it's a delight to use. Not to mention I got it for only £314 from the official AliExpress listing

Do you experience touch ghosting in your unit ?

[@scellyyt]

@@justarandomdude841 Nope. No touch problems whatsoever with and without a case. I measured the sample rate of the digitiser for just one finger and it's actually 240hz which is cool

[@justarandomdude841]

There are some poco users that experiencing some ghost touches in there screen not just on poco but other xiaomi phones specially the pop up ones but i think its just a factory defect

Does it heat in heavy gaming? Also battery life?

[@WilliamJones-nq6is]

@@vffbgx616 There's no such thing as heavy gaming for the Poco F2 pro ;) lol, no when your gaming it warms up, but it never really gets hot, the liquid cooling 2.0 really does a good job on keeping it cool. The battery life on the Poco F2 Pro is one of the best for a Snapdragon 865 processor, the 4700 mah battery can last you a very long time before you need to charge it again. I hope you find this helpful 👍

Always go with the oneplus 8. The oneplus has faster cpu, better performance and 120hz fluid display, don’t go with the Galaxy s10 lite. Second if you get a new phone from this year, you will get more software updates and better graphics and performance as like better photos and dynamic range!

@@wundyboy The choices are limited. I would go for the Pixel 4a in your case.

[@andyH_England]

The hype and over-excited YT community viz the Pixel 4a was extraordinary as compared to the Poco F2 Pro for a similar price (£50 more for F2 8gb/256gb than the 4a) the Pixel was poor value and rather underwhelming. Even the camera on the Pixel is no longer a considerable stand-out feature. Bang for buck the F2 kills the 4a as it has 5g and much better display, bigger battery, ultra-wide camera, UFS 3.1, LDDPR 5 (8gb model), brighter and more accurate display, wifi 6 support, faster processor, the list goes on... ...in fact, the F2 competes more with the Pixel 4a 5g, though beats that down, which costs about £100 more, in the UK, so the F2 is maybe the best value phone around the £400-450 price range in our region.
