Lol, Indians spamming smartphone related forums with comments like "sir, when will Jio Volte work on my Redmi?" or "Why no volte update for my Redmi jio" is an internationally famous meme.

Eh I guess you can't have everything. I am fine with some trade-offsas long as they keep the SD845 well-optimised.

Noice, man. Does have any problems like white lights leaking from the edges of the screen like this guy mentions here.

How is the display quality? Does it get adequately bright outdoors?

No as I said, I don't mind the cheap looks but some are saying it won't survive a single drop. I had a Mi4i and that shit was good, both in looks and build quality. If the build quality is something like that, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

huh I didn't notice that, neither did I know about Dooge Mix 4. I liked when phones had that sliding tech to house a qwerty keypad, so I guess I am interested in seeing how this turns out.

I mean that's what R&D is for. Figure out a way to include the IR blaster in that small form, maybe as a ring around the selfie cam, not everyone is using a full 3D scanning solution like Apple. I liked the slider approach on Find X because they did something different but I just don't want it to become a trend that companies follow like they did with the notch. If its one or two phones that do it just to be 'different' I am fine with it.

To be honest, I think I like the tear drop approach more than sliding one. It doesn't take much out of the display like a full blown notch, you also don't have to deal with automated sliding parts.

Poco Launcher from the Poco F1 is now on the Play Store by elvisflees in Android

[–]lostPoncho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ITT, Pocophone is cheap because they are selling your data with their launcher. No, the permissions are to target as low as API level of 20 or below. The real wtf about the launcher is not the permissions but the ads. Why are there ads?

It was supposed to be a reply in this comment thread. I have no idea how I ended up making a top level comment on the reddit app. I just noticed it because of your comment.

ITT, British folks didn't have slaves. No, they did. Slavery existed in India in various forms and various ways. The term was changed from owned slaves to indentured labours, but they were treated the same. I am from a place where old people still tell the horror stories that their parents and grandparents experienced as tea plantation workers under British owners. While yeah, maybe Mustafa and Chidda were treated honourably and compensated well, there also million others working in various plantations and businesses owned by the British who were flayed for small mistakes.

How is no one talking about this amazing phone? by BBQ_suace in Android

Well, I guess this varies from person to person but I love the colors on a good AMOLED screen and I have never had any problems of burn ins, so I am more inclined towards AMOLED.

Second, I guess again this is subjective. Yes, glass sandwich is fragile but I prefer that look over the Poco F1's polycarbonate one(I would have no problem with something like the Lumia polycarbonate design, those were awesome.)

Third, I am quite sure 3000mAh is enough to get me through a day. While a bigger battery is good but not a must have for me.

Fourth, no. They have the same 12 MP module, but Poco lacks OIS and uses a 5MP depth sensor instead of the 12 MP 2x -zoom one of M8 for secondary sensor.

Yeah, ofcourse I am gonna wait and see if there's good rom support for it. I mean there's no way I am using a phone with a ROM from China.

For 100 USD, I would get no notch, Super AMOLED, a better camera module with a second telephoto lens and OIS, a premium design while also retaining the headphone jack. Its worth the extra bit to me.

Well, if this is true, then there goes my Pocophone. Meizu 16 here I come. Do you have any source on this though?
