Really the Right Upgrade? - Poco F2 Pro Review By Brian Alex

The PACE f1 was great for the price, but just not a hand phone, except for the chip. The f2 Pro brings a lot of improvements to the table, but are they enough to justify the higher price tag, and is it the right package for that price anyway? Hey I'm Brianna- and this is my Poco f2 Pro review design. The design of the phone is overall, pretty nice, it's just a bit thick and a bit heavy, but nothing major I like the matte glass back as it doesn't get all smudged up by fingerprints and the red power button is a cool detail. The camera module doesn't stick out too much either built quality is also good, with no loose buttons or rough edges overall. Also, thanks to its metal and glass construction, they have two pro feels a lot more premium. That's definitely a huge upgrade over the f1 and, if you're worried about the glass being more fragile, it does include a transparent, hard shell case inside the stylish yellow box.

The front is pretty much all screen thanks to the pop-up selfie camera. That I definitely prefer to the huge note that was getting in the way on the f1, but that does also mean that they have two pro isn't water resistant, which is fine at this price. Anyway, though, the phone does also retain the headphone jack, but unfortunately only has an okay, mono speaker vibration. Motor is also not that great, but fortunately the f2 pro doesn't like NFC anymore, like the f1 did display the displays, where I think the biggest improvement of the predecessor comes in. That's because even for the price, the f1 didn't have a great screen.

The colors on that LCD were just nothing special, but the f2 pro now comes with the six point: seven-inch full HD AMOLED panel with deep blacks and nice punchy colors. It also gets plenty bright, it's just a huge upgrade and of course it's also nicely flat and unobstructed, but I do also have to bring in some critique here. I would have really wished for at least a 90 Hertz refresh rate. The 60 Hertz are definitely not a deal-breaker, but the phone just doesn't feel fast in the same way. Phones with high refresh rate screens do I recently spent a lot of time with the OnePlus 8 pro, and it's immediately noticeable that this screen isn't as responsive for over 500 euros.

I think 90 Hertz is almost something you should expect in a phone focused on performance, especially when other cheaper phones feature. It trusts me, even if you've never used a high refresh rate screen, it adds a lot more to her response for phone feels than just a faster CPU perform. Speaking of that CPU, it's of course the latest snapdragon 865 paired with six gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage, and while it does do a pretty good job at keeping things moving along without stutters, as I said before, it just doesn't feel as fast as it could. Thanks to the 60 Hertz screen me, you I probably also plays a huge part in that, as it's just a pretty resource-intensive skin, with lots of slower, animations overall I think there's definitely room for improvement here in terms of setting priorities. The Motor H, for example, feels faster than this phone in day-to-day use, even though it only has a mid-range chip and that's because the faster screen and a lighter software skin helped a lot more than just more powerful silicon, even though that doesn't hurt, of course, so I think Xiaomi and Poco would definitely have done well and focusing on those points to the f2.

Pro does also have 5g, which I'm now finally capable of testing, and I'm, going to stick to saying that it's completely, not something you need right now, even if it might be nice to have for the future software. Normally software is a pretty quick point by now, because most manufacturers haven't figured out, but Congo Poco definitely have some homework. To do, mew isn't all bad. The design is fine and most of the stock apps are actually Google's on the international version, but there are just some questionable things that I thought we were over at this point. There are no less than five crappy pre-installed games like really the settings menus arranged in a completely counterintuitive way, though thankfully at least they copied the hints where to find stuff from Samsung's one UI and what I find most amusing us.

The bouncy music widget on the lock screen that always shows the same Chinese character covered album art, no matter which song you listen to in some ways. This is even worse than what I remembered from past jammy phones, but with the third-party launcher, it's pretty fine. What I really like is the huge amount of customization that I mostly used to turn things off like the light and sound effects on the pop-up camera and always-on. This place also very much appreciated, as it enables you to unlock the phone using the pretty fast under screen fingerprint sensor without having to wake the screen. First camera the camera system under F 2 Pro, is fine, really not much more than that.

You get a main 64 megapixel sensor, a 13, megapixel ultra-wide camera and definitely two pretty superfluous sensors for depths and macro shots. What I find most baffling is that the macro camera has a to exhume but can't be used for regular zoom shots when you press the 2 X button, it just crops and digitally photos from the main sensor are pretty ok in broad daylight, but even then sharpness dynamic range and calories, just noticeably not flagship level, especially shadows, get crushed rather quickly, and it gets worse on the ultra-wide camera, which is plainly not as good as the main sensor. The macro camera is fine, but other phones can also do this without a dedicated sensor. Just like the granted nice depth effects, you also got to make sure to turn off that stupid default. Watermark the night mode is usable, but also can't pull out close to as much detail or color as an iPhone.

Our pixel selfies are not bad, at least if you turn off all the superfluous beautification options. Video stabilization is good at 4k, and I have two products, also record 8k, which is actually not that bad quality wise. So if you need to crop into your video, that's not a bad option. Battery life, enough to pro is as good as it was on. The f16 to seven hours of screen on time is very solid and makes the phone impossible to kill in a day, even if it's not quite a comfortable to day phone and that's even when using 5g charging.

The 47 hundred million power battery is also really fast at 30 watts, maybe about 10 percent slower than one Casa's warp charge as reference. There is no wireless charging, but that's completely fine at this price conclusion. Yes, they have. Two Pro is quite a bit more expensive than the f1, but I would say that's more than justified. It's just a way better phone.

Overall, you still get the fast internals, and now they're paired with a phone that is also not subpar when it comes to build quality and display, but the camera still isn't that great. The software has a lot of room for improvement and I find the omission of a high refresh rate screen questionable at this price point, and because of that, you shouldn't just look at it in a vacuum. There are many other great options around 500 euros to the OnePlus.70 gives you a faster screen in addition to the high-end chip for less money. If you don't need five, three and the motor edge press that same 90, Hertz experiences with 5g for only a little more than the Poco f2 Pro. If you really need that high-end strip for gaming and can't live without 5g.

For some reason, then they have two Pro is a great Buy. Otherwise, though, you should also look at the other options. I mentioned it, maybe even wait around for the potentially upcoming OnePlus phone. That looks like a stellar deal get subscribe, so you don't miss my coverage on that. Thanks for trading Shenzhen for the poker f2 pro, and thank you for watching.
