The long-awaited addition to the series of "Pocophones" — a separate cast of Xiaomi smartphones, positioned as a flagship at an affordable price. From the face, the model meets the user with a solid frameless screen on a Super AMOLED matrix substrate with a diagonal size of 6.67". Taking into account the proportions of 20:9, the image is displayed on the gadget's display in FullHD + format (2400x1080 pixels).
The Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro 128GB screen will please you with a built-in fingerprint scanner and the absence of annoying cutouts, which is realized through the introduction of a periscope front camera into the design of the device. 20 MP selfie camera "leaves" from the upper end of the smartphone case on call. The system of sensors on board is able to determine the moment the device fell and quickly hide the camera to avoid damage.
The main “photo-wall” of the smartphone combines 4 image sensors under the wing with a leading 64 MP sensor “at the head of the table”. High performance turning applications, regardless of their severity, is provided by the flagship hardware as part of the Snapdragon 865 chipset with 5G support, 6 GB of RAM and Adreno 650 graphics. The smartphone has 128 GB of non-expandable permanent memory. Other equipment of the model includes an infrared port for controlling home electronics, an NFC and a long-lasting 4700 mAh battery. In order not to “cook” at the outlet for a long time, the battery was “brought up” with support for accelerated 33-watt charging — it is possible to replenish the energy reserves in its tanks by 100% in just 63 minutes.
The Poco F2 Pro is the successor to the 2018 "people's flagship" Pocophone F1, which combines high performance with a low price tag. The new model has become a clone of the Chinese Redmi K30 Pro, and although it has maintained a high bar in terms of performance, the language will no longer be called democratic.
Screen without cutouts
Poco F2 Pro has almost the same screen as Xiaomi Mi 10: 6.67-inch AMOLED with FHD + (2400x1080) resolution, HDR10 + support, but the refresh rate is not 90 Hz, but 60 Hz, which affects the smoothness of the picture. There are no cutouts and thick screen bezels, and the front camera is hidden in a retractable block inside the case. And although here one can argue about the strength of such a design, nevertheless, during the games, black stripes on the side will not interfere with you, and this is a plus. The smartphone has an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Performance and Software
In terms of performance, there are only pluses here: the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor, the Adreno 650 graphics accelerator, 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 128 GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory. Therefore, Poco F2 Pro can handle even the most demanding games. In addition, the manufacturer has added a multi-layer cooling system that will ensure stable operation during prolonged peak loads.
Here you can add NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6 versions. Poco F2 Pro can work with 5G networks, but for our region there is no need for this yet, although this affected the price of the device. Unfortunately, there is no slot for a memory card. But there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a standard but rather loud speaker, as well as a branded Poco Launcher 2.0 launcher on top of MIUI.
The battery capacity is 4700 mAh, which, according to the manufacturer, is enough for 13 hours of gaming. In fact, this figure is lower, but the smartphone supports 33W fast charging, which fully charges the battery in just over an hour.
cameras
The main chamber is made in the form of a circle and has four modules. It is possible to shoot 8K video at 30 frames per second. In general, the camera shoots well, the price tag justifies, but you should not expect anything supernatural from it. The front camera is 20-megapixel, with it you can shoot Slo-motion videos at a frequency of 120 frames per second at 720p image quality — for example, for Instagram.
