Poco F2 Pro<\/div>\n
by Xiaomi<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Poco F2 Pro has a lot going for it — a great display, top-tier specs, brilliant battery life — all in a $499 package. If you’re not fussed about camera performance, this is a tremendous deal.<\/p>\n

The Pocophone F1<\/a> was a smartphone that truly focused on value for money. It included the important features and excluded the unimportant ones. We liked it because of its fantastic optimization of features, specs, and value.<\/p>\n

Fast forward almost two years, the Poco brand has had more than just a name change. This time around, the latest device is looking and feeling very different. Can Xiaomi’s Poco F2 Pro<\/a> match the hype and value of its predecessor?<\/p>\n

About our Poco F2 Pro review:<\/strong> I wrote this Poco F2 Pro review after spending nine days with the device as my primary phone. Xiaomi provided Android Authority<\/em> with the review unit, which was running MIUI 11 atop Android 10, software build 11.0.6.0.<\/div>\n

Xiaomi’s Poco brand sells budget-friendly smartphones. The company put its name on the map after its pilot device launch — the Pocophone F1. The F1 was released at a crucial time when many of the top devices were starting to breach the four-figure mark in terms of cost. The F1 came in and woke up the market and showed consumers that you didn’t need to spend big bucks to get big specs.<\/p>\n

The F2 Pro carries this idea forward. It’s a smartphone that costs half that of a true flagship, and yet it offers flagship specs. Can it deliver in the speed department given its top-to-bottom redesign?<\/p>\n
