    Those specs are stupid good.

    Is the bootloader unlockable so i can load a guaranteed vanilla aosp rom?

    • Clear on 01/11/2021 - 22:01
      +9

      Yes it is. There's a massive dev following so there's plenty of ROMs available. ArrowOS is basically AOSP with a lot of work being put into it.

      • MasterScythe on 01/11/2021 - 22:04

        Just saw Lineage also has an OFFICIAL port too.

        So while some metrics level spying could happen at the baseband level, the ability to realistically steal your user data is basically eliminated :D

        What a time to be alive!

          Not sure for certain as I don't use Poco. Quick Google has some information below. I do know in general if you're rooting your phone you'll want to install MagiskHide so banking apps work if they check for root.

                @superforever: I've got the regular X3 NFC, honestly MIUI works just fine. I installed a custom rom just to have something a bit different, but I really liked MIUI's design and the features of it.

        • EvilPan6a on 02/11/2021 - 06:49

          I have Poco X3 NFC and on a rooted custom ROM (PixelPlusUI).
          Just add Google Pay in Magisk Hide and no issues at all.
          Battery is beast and everything works great.

          • chyawala on 02/11/2021 - 06:58

            @EvilPan6a: Do all the cameras work? There’s reports the only custom ROM that supports all cameras and battery optimisation is Xaomi.eu. Apparently a work around for cameras is to install ANX camera.

      Pretty good, but my dad had a Realme XT which allowed dual sim + microSD all at once and I haven't been able to convince him away from that.

      I checked the specs on a bunch of other phones, but the SIM2 slot is for either a SIM or a microSD (not both at once) :(

      Does anyone know of a good value phone which allows SIM + SIM + microSD concurrently?

    Great price, but code doesn't work for AU direct, it works for HK stock.

    Any working code for 8/256GB model?

    Spewin, just got the 8/256 one for $344 delivered. After 6 months on Samsung a52, I don't know how Samsung stays in business with this around.

    • Agret on 01/11/2021 - 23:03
      +4

      8/256 will last you longer, worth the extra. $344 is still way less than the $1000 other manufacturers want for these specs.

      • AlienC on 02/11/2021 - 05:10

        I basically paid an extra $800 just for 8GB more ram and Snapdragon 888+ and I am regretting it but I can honestly fill up the 8GB of ram so I have no real choice.

        Yeah.. Even the camera is worse I think on this Red Magic 6S Pro 256gb 16gb ram phone.

        The aesthetic is cool but not an extra $800 cool I think.

      • MikeSYD on 02/11/2021 - 07:06

        Yeah, just the low ball pricer in me talking, it's also a lot more power than I need for now.

        both without 5G, the next gen might attract you again in next year. worth but unlikely need it.

      It wasn't that long ago I got downvoted big time for pointing out that many of us go around asking stores for deals. Then a mod stepped in to back me up…

      Anyway you just message store reps on here or send stores emails etc. Many are happy for the free advertising since I don't take $$$ or any form of incentives for my posts.

  • shxhshzhz on 01/11/2021 - 22:17

    For anyone that has this phone, could you please tell me how much battery life it'd get? Will it get above 2 days battery life for a not too heavy user as it seems like a powerful phone?

        How have you had a phone that's only been out for a year for almost 2 years?

      Easily.

    • TransportPosters on 02/11/2021 - 21:09

      I usually get about 5 days out of it using battery saver on during the day (has no performance impact that I can see) and the max power saving on overnight.

      Only issue with this phone is it's extremely light vibration when on silent mode. Compared to my prior HTC the vibration is almost non-existent.

    • Clear on 01/11/2021 - 22:42

      YouTube vids are showing some pretty impressive photos with the stock cam in daylight shots. It would seem running GCam is better suited for night time.

    • vrsac on 01/11/2021 - 23:01

      No.
      I have a Poco X3 NFC with crDroid custom ROM (Google Cam) and and Pixel 3XL. While very good on Poco, photos on Pixel are consistently better in full auto mode.
      However, at this price point, nothing comes even remotely close to Poco!
      And in case you wonder, 6GB RAM is plenty for the very light AOSP Android, so, 8GB isn't really required. If you need more storage, you could get an SD card.

      • Farmos on 02/11/2021 - 10:59

        Pixel 3 is available on Amazon mobicity for $300 at the moment. I've used both of these recently, the Pixel feels a bit nicer in some respects, but both do the job nicely. The screen is pretty good on this and a lot bigger so can watch a movie in bed on it.

    • ziggy1312 on 02/11/2021 - 10:38

      CPU in iPhone is a monster at single thread tasks (which most apps are only using 1 thread at a time), standby battery is also amazing on iPhones. Definitely pay a lot more for the device though.

          I understand the pocket one, if you are often out and about it can be bothersome if too heavy especially since many pockets are quite thin/not great at holding heavy stuff. However if one finds it too heavy while in the hand then yall weak af

          I'm most likely not going to do a custom rom unless NFC and all that will still work after I do? Unsure what Gcam is. And I don't really need a microSD support haha
