good stuff we await more from you on the phone once you get all the stuff moved over on it etc

Only been using it for 2 X full days and am extremely impressed with it, both aesthetically and in performance.

Don't think it was possible with the poco1, but the ability to remember which SIM to dial a certain contact with is brilliant, more times than enough I've called a business contact via my private number by mistake, meaning they then think when my work phone is turned off, sure I'll just text or call him on that other number - and vise versa.

Ytube music now operates in the background with a nice small window displaying in the foreground now when you have the screen locked - I know this was also available on the F1, but nowhere near as pleasing to look at or use (screenshot attached)



The fingerprint unlock feature being on the screen is very handy, I've it set up with my left index finger for when it's in the cradle of my car for work, and with my right index finger and thumb for when the phones in my left hand, it's a very nice feature imo.

Camera is brilliant, I've only taken a few shots so far, including a few with the 64mp lens, but it's fantastic, and you don't seem to lose too much quality of detail when you zoom in on a pic. And although "selfies" aren't exactly my thing, my kids are seriously impressed with the selfie lens emerging from the top of the phone like some kind of space ship step. :pac:

Battery is prob 25% improved on the F1 also, this things a powerhouse, I rely on the phone for hours on end on the field with work, and this thing keeps going on and on without skipping a beat.

I'll possibly throw up a more detailed feedback post when I've had it a few months, but so far I'm willing to give it a 5/5 so far, I can't believe I've been shelling out hundreds of euro on Samsung products for years - this phone has cost me just slightly north of €300 and it holds many of the Samsung models I've owned over the years clean out of the water.

For those asking where I bought it, I posted the link earlier for AliExpress, was with me in less than a week.
