The 8gb model is no different, still kills apps...

Xiaomi is so aggressive at memory handling killing background apps so often even when there's plenty of RAM left. It's one of the things I don't like about MIUI. You may opt for the 8GB RAM /256GB internal storage option given MIUI's background app killing tendencies but then again, the Android 11 update is so bad I'd advice you to steer away unless your idea of fun is tweaking and workarounds to get over the quirks and deficiencies.
If this thing really has 6gb ram, why do the apps restart so often? Are we being lied to in specs or is it terrible software? Either way, you get what you pay for. Phone is good, but not great. Everything follows from this, camera, screen, battery life etc, all not impressive, just about okay, except some things like the memory management and flakiness of operating system in general. I'd say try before you buy.

For once, try comparing Miracast functionality of even a midrange phone from Samsung and flagship one from Xiaomi and you'll see just how factual my comments are. DRM encoded content: black screen on Xiaomi/Huawei but 100% seamless and problem free with the Samsung. Try miracast of offline Netflix downloads with China branded phones - Huawei, Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, Oneplus, Realm, etc. BLACK SCREEN but 100% problem free with Samsung and LG. That's just how UNPREDICTABLE and UNRELIABLE DRM support for those China based phones are, even if they claim Widevine L1 certification. They may sometimes support Netflix but not Amazon, Disney, HBO Go, or Hulu or all of them. That's a FACT. The streaming services and Hollywood studios will have the last say and no WIDEVINE L1 CERTIFICATION will ASSURE that support, get it?
And NO, I am NOT delusional about Chinese government mandating BACKDOORS for ALL APPS and smartphone software/hardware designed there. Samsung phones and iPhones may be assembled in China but the software and hardware design and security are NOT CONTROLLED by the government. You CANNOT SAY THE SAME for Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Oneplus, Lenovo, Realme, and other home grown China phone brands. And before you accuse me of being anti China, know this: my household currently has/had 10+ Xiaomi/Huawei phones/tablets, and only 2 Samsung/LG. And I criticize weaknesses of both phone brands and appreciate their strengths.

Every brand has issues here and there. Miracast has ALWAYS been a buggy mess across all brands and is not a feature anyone should count on or use as a buying decision EVER. Anyone who does is....I'll be polite and just say they aren't too bright. Bad features or software bugs occur within any brand and sometimes its a widespread issue, other times its not and requires a phone wipe or a replacement device in order to clear up. It works fine on my end so I do not know what to tell you. I suggest you check their community forums to see if it is a widespread issue before whining here.
Your anti China rant is uncalled for considering nearly ALL phone brands are manufactured there, software installed and boxed for sale in China. If you are delusional enough to believe there is some sort of magical room where a safezone exists to prevent software tampering then you need help. Any Government knows this as well and the majority of their nonsense is posturing for the media.

My f2 pro having problem with HDR playback on youtube app, it looks like light leakage on top & bottom/watching cheap LCD screen. Comparing my 20 months old mi 9T still in perfect black.
For none HDR vids, no problem was found.

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.
Hi. Sometimes when I put the volume on maximum the sound that come out of my headphone 🎧 start's crackling alot this issue only disappears when I restart my phone but after some weeks the issue Comes back Again. is this issue related to software or to the hardware?

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.

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.
It's good but not great, in every way.
Satya, 07 Feb 2021Ya, just started realising it.. I really wonder when a feature not working despite clear demon... 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.
