I purchased the 6gb variant 21/05 and received it 11 days later.

Basic review, phone is spot on for value. I wanted a phone with a HJ and ultra wide angle camera + SD865 chip. Bonus is this phone has IR blaster and I use it daily for our air con, TV that doesn't have a remote and sound system. Never had a phone with an IR blaster and can now appreciate having it. Battery life is great!!! Past two phones, OnePlus 6 (buttery smooth blazing fast!) and S10 5G (never again! Battery life was ordinary and nothing like the snapdragon variants, Bluetooth connection with my car was so so and when I consider that I paid $1000+ for the thing, it bugs the crap outta me).
Not so good things, camera is OK. S10 5G took better videos with the OIS, this only has EIS. When shooting videos, you can't switch from ultra wide to standard etc. Very annoying. Photos decent with light/outdoors. Poco F2 Pro Night photo mode, what a joke.
Little things that are nice (not sure if it’s Android 10 related or POCO software) when you pair a BT headphone, it tells you what codec its using AAC APTX etc. RAM management from a real world day to day use is good; I would open apps from earlier in the day much later in the evening and it would still have it loaded where I left. Full screen no notch, A+. HDR support for Netflix, ripper. Would I buy it again, yes.

    Had some bad experience with Tobydeals, I personally wouldn't but from them again to save a few dollars. Sent me the wrong plug, asked me to send a photo which I did. They replied saying the plug is correct with its round prongs for Australian sockets and then they ignored me on subsequent attempts to contact them.

    Customer service was quick to respond but absolutely useless and ineffective.

    Gearbest for me from now on even if a little more expensive (but they are usually good to match other prices)

      $3 plug .. and you probably saved $100.

      • garethb on 19/06/2020 - 23:09

        Missed the entire point….. And did you also miss the part about gearbest price matching?

      GB, Banggood, AliExpress, Tobydeals are all about as bad as eachother. Great when it works, not so much when it breaks.

  • bonclay on 17/06/2020 - 16:51

    this or oneplus 8 🙄

      Chinese OnePlus 8 models don't have band 28, so you'll get terrible regional reception on Telstra or Optus networks, or carriers using them.

      If you get the european or US model then it's probably a better device than the Poco with software support, speed etc unless you really want a headphone jack or the larger battery, but you'll have to pay a fair amount more for it (around $1100-1300 for the international model from Kogan).

    Dang that's a lot of phone upgrades my dude, but you do you. Thanks for the detailed write up.

    Avoid buying CHINESE brand mobile phone. Many Pre-Installed Apps are very dangerous including Mi Store…

    Government reportedly lists 42 Chinese apps as dangerous, including SHAREit, UC Browser, Mi Store

        Corrupt Indian government is too busy protecting scammers and rapists from and in India.

      Nice. Please share your thoughts about the phone.

    • Twitchy on 27/06/2020 - 14:14

      Lucky you, I ordered 17th, still haven't received in WA. Did you express post? How long did it take after the tracking said 'In transit to destination'?

    • ozvictor on 27/06/2020 - 23:48

      is the phone sealed in box unopened? thanks

  • jenovax1 on 27/06/2020 - 20:29

    Ordered electric purple 8GB/256GB for $775. Shipped on the 17/06 and received it on the 25/06. Pretty decent time frames from TobyDeals.

    Impressed with the phone coming from a Mi Note 3.

    Just ordered a Phantom White 8GB/256GB for $771 with code CART3 for the Mrs.

    • ozvictor on 27/06/2020 - 22:54

      I also want to order one, is the phone sealed in box unopened? Thanks

      • jenovax1 on 29/06/2020 - 13:52

        Mine was sealed unopened.

    coming from a samsung galaxy A7 (2017) then smashed the shit out of it and then down to my wifes old Nexus 6p the battery would only get to like 50% and then die. I think the phone is very nice, battery is wicked atm.

    yes the phone was sealed and all, but from the looks of it, they don't supply headphones.
    which isnt a biggy.

    Yes i paided extra for tracking and all. They use DPEX but you can use toll, before it comes into aus.
