Zeusdroid, 18 Jul 2020Why does the miui 12 update still looks like miui 11 on the poco f2 pro? Because the changes are under the hood. For example, in MIUI 11, you cannot selectively force 'dark mode' on some apps that you like to go dark but don't have a dark mode. In MIUI 12, you can already to it, which is great really. You don't have dark mode yet in Facebook for example (only in Facebook messenger) but with MIUI 12, you can force Facebook to have a dark background. Nice for bedroom reading with the lights off. And you can use this feature selectively as some apps may not look good or have problems with a forced dark mode.
There are other anesthetic changes on MIUI 12 like super wallpapers, floating windows, new control center, animated home screen icons and many bug fixes. The MIUI 12 update also provided a newer June 2020 security patch. (Previously it was April 2020 under MIUI 11).

Xiaomi 4Eva, 16 Jul 2020That's so true. The only positive aspect about the SE is that it gets 5 years of updates.... moreBut, any aspects in SE are 5 years outdated now. Panel, camera, battery.

Anonymous, 16 Jul 2020Any comments for the camera quality of this phone?The Poco F2 Pro has got a superb main camera and macro camera. 4K/60fps and 8K/30fps video quality is excellent. Even if it does not have a telephoto camera, the 2x digital zoom from the main camera's 64 megapixel sensor is remarkably very good, it doesn't look like digital zoom at all.
Colors, sharpness and detail retention at 100% crop are spot on. The portrait mode provides natural looking blurred backgrounds and the night mode is one of the best - excellent dynamic range and good balance of noise reduction, color and detail retention, and sharpness. But wait, it gets even more amazing at night if you sideload and install GCam.
Overall, the Poco F2 Pro is certainly better than Oneplus and Samsung flagships that tend to overprocess jpeg output resulting in over sharpened, oversmooth image that's too smooth (artificial, too saturated and overcooked looking at least for my tastes).
The Poco F2 Pro jpeg processing is actually similar to the light handed noise reduction approach in Pixel phones, iPhone 11 Pro, and Mate 30 Pro. Reminds me of my Canon dSLR. Photos look remarkably better on bigger 4K monitors although I'm sure, you'll likely prefer Samsung and Oneplus color/jpeg signature processing if you only look at photos on phone screens/small tablets.

V, 15 Jul 2020Just got update V12.0.1.0.QJKE... 1.1GB. Any friend also got this update? Yes, I can confirm the MIUI 12 update with June 2020 security patch for the Poco F2 Pro is currently rolling out. Got the OTA update by manually checking for updates. It's a great update overall but sadly, it has NOT FIXED the NETFLIX bug/DRM issue.
As I've previously warned,
DO NOT TO TRY MIRRORING OFFLINE NETFLIX DOWNLOADS TO YOUR TV USING YOUR POCO F2 PRO.
You'll have your Poco F2 Pro crashing with scrambled screen in no time IF YOU DO SO.
The recent MIUI 12/June 2020 update of the Poco F2 Pro hasn't solved it. The bug is still there, only worse. Even if there's no Netflix, when you opt for 'minimize screen' when screen mirroring, the phone crashes also, and reboots automatically. So much for bug fixing updates that didn't fix the Netflix /DRM bug/issues.

If in your region the SE is more expensive than Poco F2 Pro, I would go for the Poco with no hesitation or question. The SE absolutely won't cut it battery wise, not to mention that the chipset was underclocked confirmed by Antutu and Geekbench sources. In this comparison, almost every aspect of the Poco is superior.
- Full screen bezelless 1080p Super AMOLED display vs 720p LCD with 2010 bezels
- Snapdragon 865 chipset with more cores and higher clock (Not to mention Apple has been confirmed cheating on benchmarks. Midrange SD765G can hit 90fps, A13 limited to 60fps)
- More updated ram, 6/8GB LPDDR5 vs 3GB LPDDR4X
- Higher base storage, 128gb vs 64gb
- Quad camera (max 64MP) vs single 12MP
- 8k30+4k60 vs 4k60 only
- Pop-up 20MP front camera vs large bezel 7MP
- Under display fingerprint vs front mounted
- Larger battery capacity, 4700 mAh vs 1821 mAh
- Faster charging, 30W vs 18W

If you must have an iPhone, get the top iPhone model, not a mediocre low end model.

Anonymous, 15 Jul 2020a71 dont have hdr 10 Ok so that explains the visible quality difference between the Poco F2 Pro display and the A71 display. Must have misread gsmarena.com's specs page for the A71 or it was recently edited out (typo).

Ciunkx, 15 Jul 2020it seems China's phone manufacturer lacks of safety grade for their products.. with high ... moreNone of my smartphones and smartphones in our household since 2013 have IP68 rating and none has died because of accidental water damage.
IP68 is actually overrated in smartphones. Very few people know that the testing protocol for IP68 testing actually involves using only 100% pure distilled water in the testing, and it has to be at constant, normal temperatures, (not too warm, not too cold), no stirring, no agitation, no mixing, no jet stream/pressure involved, and with the phone slowly submerged and placed perfectly upright in the distilled water (not sideways, not upside down) for a specific depth and time frame.
That's the reason why phone manufacturers don't honor water damage and are forbidden to advertise IP68 phones as 'waterproof' and usable during shower or while swimming: these situations are very far off from the laboratory setup that tests the phone's IP68 rating!
In short, IP68 DOESN'T GUARANTEE protection and survival from accidents like spilled coffee, spilled soda/carbonated drinks, spilled juices and tea (hot/cold/acidic fluids). The same no assurance of survival from spilled basic substances (soapy water, alcohol, bleach, fabric softener, etc.).
IP68 even doesn't assure protection against neutral (pH7) substances as well. (Ex. saltwater with its highly conductive nature is extremely damaging). IP68 doesn't give assurance of protection even for faucet water (jet stream/pressurized), pool water (chlorinated, with agitation), or even from as simple as a warm water shower (higher water temp, jet stream).
Also, rubber seals shrink, crack, and become brittle/oxidized with time (in as little as 6 months) due to exposure to oxygen in the air and UV radiation from the sun, and with the seal damage accelerated by high temperatures from daily phone charging.
You may be thinking you're still IP68 protected after 6 months but NO, it's basically hit-or-miss after that. Overrated? Yes. Though people derive peace of mind from it; it's called PLACEBO effect. Manufacturers use it as advertising advantage never mind 8f it's practically worthless after 6 months unless seals get replaced regularly.
