OnePlus has left the chat

This is the phone that was (is?) rumoured to be the Pocophone F2?

If it is then it basically took all the criticisms of F1 and smashed them out the park heh, with some extra bells and whistles on top.

If the pro really does come in at £350ish then i might have to go for it.

 

[Sho]

If the pri e is around £350 then it's a no brainer I will be definitely getting this as my next phone. Still rocking my S8 from day one, and happy with it.

The only draw back is no expandable memory. So you'll have to order one with at least 128gb or go for 256gb

What's the catch? Why do cheap compared to the OP7 Pro.

No IP67/68 so it's not water resistant
No expandable memory - not an issue as you can just get the 256gb version for extra little
60hz screen
No HDR10+

I think that's about it.

Here's a comparison https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9708&idPhone2=9689

Looks impressive I may have a dabble on one of these.

How does the warranty work on these?

Very tempting, where do you buy them from and whats support like?

 

[benparker]

Whilst it is cheap, we have to use resellers so they will obviously mark it up a bit so it won't be £350. If it does come to the UK officially, again it won't be £350.

Having said that please let me know if you find good deals for 8gb/128gb model

Websites like AliExpress etc....

It'll be a while before it comes out in the UK

Confirmed as Pocophone F2 for overseas market.

Pocophone F2

That's excellent news!

 

[lltfdaniel]

Well that is good news, i have heard the Pocophone is good value for what you get.

 

[Sho]

It's definitely got my attention. This is the phone I've got my eyes set on. Waiting for a good deal and I will bite. I no longer like paying premium prices now. Its ridiculous the prices you have to pay these days on flagship devices.

Yes this isn't IP rated, not an issue to me. No expandable memory, just get the 256gb version.
I don't need 90ghz screen, maybe in a year or two when they become the norm.
Happy with HDR10
Camera is along with Oneplus7 and il be happy with that. And last software, yea it'll have a skin on top.. But as long there is a guide to remove all bloatware etc then I'm fine with it or stick a custom rom it.

 

[Flibster]

Sooooo close to perfect for me.
No mSD is a killer though. I'm already using a 512gb card that's pretty much full.

Damnit.

 

[benparker]

I've got a feeling the camera will be better than the OP7 Pro's

 

[Teledude]

It's the same sensor and worst software support.

 

[benparker]

I think Gearbest has the best price now for the 8/128GB Pro model, £400

 

[wayne wonder]

This isn’t in English but a decent comparison of the one plus vs this

Mi 9T's have started appearing on the bay for £369 - could these well be how the K20 is in fact really branded here in the UK as opposed to the Pocophone F2? They look identical in specs.
