I saw a small banner ad for an LG washing machine in Xiaomi's file manager app. It seems the ads do not always come out every time you access Xiaomi's file manager. The theme store also has ads and I suppose, every Xiaomi app (Xiaomi media player, Xiaomi app store, etc.) I don't use any of those so that's probably the reason the only ads I see are from Chrome websites and some regular Google Play store apps (YouTube, dictionary, news and weather apps).

Heyo, 28 Jul 2020Guys, do you think I should get the 6GB/128GB variant or 8GB/256GB variant? would the differen... moreYou should get the 256GB version especially since the phone doesn't have micro sd expansion. If currently (or in the future) you record videos in 4K/60fps and 8K 30fps which consume a lot of storage space, all the more reason to go with the 256GB. I personally have used up 116GB of my phone's internal storage this early - personal media files and offline Wikipedia and apps only. No offline movie downloads yet and no 4K or 8K recordings yet. If only this phone had micro sd expansion, you can easily have additional 512GB storage for just around $75.

JacobG18, 30 Jul 2020Hi, please help, I really can't decide between this phone and the Mi Note 10...
I know t... moreThe biggest reason I wouldn't recommend the Mi Note 10 is because it has a 108megapixel camera and 4K video recording but has only 128GB internal storage option with no micro sd expansion. It's going to create storage problems for you.
If you want a much better phone for around the same price and with the same processor as the Mi Note 10, I suggest you get the Samsung A71. It's got the same snapdragon 730G processor as the Mi Note 10, a great high megapixel main camera (though not 108megapixels), dual SIM with dedicated micro sd expansion slot and Widevine L1 certification with capability to mirror wirelessly offline Netflix downloads to TV (not like ALL Xiaomi phones).
Its battery also lasts long (4500mah), and its screen is bigger (6.7"), though not curved. I don't like curved screens because they're problematic in terms of fragility (breaks/cracks easily at the weakest curved portion), and the unwanted touches and reflections at the curved sides are annoying.
Of course it still depends on what you want and what you can afford. Between the Mi Note 10 and the Poco F2 Pro, get the Poco F2 Pro if you can afford it. If not, get the Samsung A71. It's more feature packed but is cheaper than the Mi Note 10 (although it has a plastic build).

Hi, please help, I really can't decide between this phone and the Mi Note 10...
I know the POCO is an easy pick for most of us with the latest chipset (tho I think it will be an overkill for my usage), but I really liked the design of this Mi Note 10 (curved AMOLED) and the cameras (obviously), and in my country, both phone only separated by around $ 55 out of store, but the 2nd hand Mi Note 10 has more value (around $ 380 (might get lower by the end of this year), which I also consider this opt)..
I aim to have the phone for about 2-3 years, I'm not a heavy gamer, only sometimes and mostly I was just playing PSP's emulator (LOL) but I want to have a snappy enough performance on opening and switching between apps.. I will use it for mostly taking photos and watching movies (online but mostly offline), and browsing SNS, last but not least I would very much like to have an all day battery phone.. my current redmi note 7 last for average 6 hrs of SoT, so I expect something much better like 8-9 hrs or probably 10 in average use..
Appreciate all the answers.. thanks!

Daxhd65, 27 Jul 2020Still USB 2.0? Why does Xiaomi still not do 3.0+?I know, I remember first seeing USB 2.0 in 2002, so quite a long time. I was thinking about getting this phone but settled on the Samsung Galaxy S10+instead because of higher build quality

So, I just got the phone today.
I had always on display options initially, but now I only have three clock style options... I'm not sure why.
Also, speeds are pretty so-so. Last phone I had was a global version and it worked fine. This one has been a bit weird connection wise.
One of my games don't work for some weird reason. Only works with WiFi. I have to adjust to it, honestly. Probs should have gone with the S10+ or S10 5g.

Guys, do you think I should get the 6GB/128GB variant or 8GB/256GB variant? would the difference between LPDDR5 and LPDDR4X be too much? Is it really worth the extra 100$? And do you think this would also impact the battery life?

I really think that if the phone would literally burn in front of you eyes you would still think it's fake and that Poco is a good brand.
that devotion man.. I'm telling you, it's not good for you :))

V, 27 Jul 2020Just leave wifi or mobile data on and open file manager. There you will see ads.I did as you said. Opened Xiaomi's file manager even if I never use it (I prefer Files app by Google). Turned on my mobile data. It's been open for more than an hour but not a single ad. I really don't see any ads anywhere in my Poco F2 Pro. It's currently on June 1, 2020 security patch, with MIUI 12 version.
