Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro

Bright, well-calibrated display;Flagship performance;Strong battery life

Hefty design;Display only 60Hz;Camera results quite mixed

Competitive $500 price ; Top processor and 5G ; OLED screen looks excellent ; Long battery life ; Fun macro camera mode

Import-only in the U.S. ; Camera disappoints ; No water resistance

Really nice build and a design that stands out.

Thick and heavy body.

So yes, overall, the Poco F2 Pro is an excellent all-rounder that's worth every extra penny on top of its predecessors. Perhaps in a different way and perhaps for a different crowd, but it remains a 'flagship killer' nonetheless.

Screen dominant design with no punch-hole or notch ; Lots of power for not much cash

Big and heavy design ; Lacklustre cameras ; Pop-up camera's lighting seems gimmicky

After its brief hiatus we're pleased to see Poco back in the driving seat of its own destiny. There's no denying that this phone delivers a whole lot for the money. But it's not pro at every turn like its name might suggest.

Bright, Powerful, full-faced display ; Same high-end processor as more costly phones ; Well worth the cash ; Heavier than expected (feels robus)

Corners of display are very, very round ; Pop-up camera lights are cool, but ultimately just for fun ; Heavier than expected (not a featherweight) ; Not available in all regions ; Not necessarily compatible with your USA-based carrier

+ Hybrid case feels great in hand ; + Unique design is a nice touch ; + Chart-topping performance ; + Good battery life ; + Vapor chamber does an excellent job ; + Sports features that most flagships don't ; + Macro camera is really fun to use ; +...

- No wireless charging ; - 13MP ultra-wide camera can underwhelm ; - Support for more 5G bands would have been welcome

The POCO F2 Pro offers a lot for not that much money, which is always a good thing.

Feels like a proper flagship phone ; Big, uninterrupted display ; Flagship performance

Considerably more expensive than the POCOPHONE F1 ; Design is a little dated ; The screen is only 60Hz
