You may have never heard of the POCO F2 Pro but you will soon see what all the fuss is about when I tell you of the specs and price.
The word ‘flagship killer’ gets bandied about a lot but in this case, the POCO F2 Pro looks like a true ‘killer’.
For a starting price of €499 for the 6GB model, you get an incredible phone that spec-wise is a match for the flagships of the days.
The Xiaomi sub-marque sub-premium POCO F2 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 865 processor, one of the fastest on the market and 5G compatible.
The 865 is paired with world leading Adreno 650 GPU and Kyro 585 chip, both of which offer a 25% bump in performance compared to their predecessor.
The next-gen specs don’t stop there. The POCO F2 Pro 8GB model also has the fastest RAM on the market in the form of LPDDR5 memory and the latest UFS 3.1 storage. The 6GB model has LPDDR4X RAM.
So, gaming will be no problem on this phone, especially considering it has the latest liquid cooling technology 2.0.
There’s Corning Gorilla Glass 5 front and back so people with butterfingers fear not. The screen is a 6.67 inch AMOLED display with a built-in fingerprint sensor.
On the rear, there’s a 64MP quad-camera setup in the form of Sony’s IMX686 sensor while the front has a pop up 20mp selfie camera.
The camera set up is capable of recording 8K at 24fps, 4K at 60fps, while the selfie camera supports slow-motion video at 120fps.
And finally, if you’re a heavy user you’ll be happy to know that the Poco F2 Pro is packing a 4,700 mAh battery that supports 30 watt fast charging.
