Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro deals

The Poco F2 Pro was Xiaomi's attempt to repeat the trick that made the original Pocophone famous: take a genuine flagship processor and wrap it in a body that cuts costs everywhere else. It worked. The Snapdragon 865 inside is the same chip that powered 2020's most expensive Android phones, and it still handles everyday apps and older games without complaint. A motorised 20MP pop-up selfie camera keeps the 6.67-inch AMOLED completely uninterrupted, which looks striking even now, though the moving mechanism is the part most likely to fail on a well-used unit. The compromises are clear once you look past the chip. The display runs at a standard 60Hz rather than the high refresh rates rivals moved to, the phone is heavy at 219g, and the 5MP macro and 2MP depth lenses do little beyond padding the spec sheet. Software is the bigger limitation today: it launched on Android 10 with MIUI 11 and its update window has long since ended, so treat it as a light-use handset.
