These are the 3 important features where the available POCO F2 Pro beats the flagship Xiaomi Mi 10

The Chinese Xiaomi sub-brand, marked POCO, introduced its new flagship smartphone named POCO F2 Pro just a few days ago.

It offers a motorized front camera, an AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 865 processor, or a large battery. But that’s still not everything.

Three key differences

The cheaper model, POCO F2 Pro, is currently starting to be sold for just a little more than 460 euros. For this price, though, it offers very solid specs—and especially a great price/performance ratio. In some features, it even beats the current Xiaomi Mi 10 model, which costs almost 200 euros more!

DualSIM support

Yes, the key difference in favor of the more affordable POCO smartphone is DualSIM support—specifically, a slot for two different nanoSIM cards.

The Mi 10 flagship model, however, is supplied in the global version with a slot for just one SIM card. The second slot is also designed, but it’s covered.

If you’d like to get around the official procedure a bit, we’ve got a guide on how to enable this popular feature on the Mi 10 smartphone.

UFS storage 3.1 vs. UFS 3.0

The storage has also received an interesting upgrade. While the pricier Xiaomi Mi 10 offers the older UFS 3.0 storage type, the more affordable POCO F2 Pro already has the newer UFS 3.1 storage.

The improvement is mainly better power efficiency, faster data writes, and the new “Deep Sleep” feature is also a plus.

3,5 mm audio connector and FM radio

The last difference will especially please a specific category of users. The cheaper POCO smartphone includes a 3.5 mm audio connector for connecting headphones.

For the more expensive model, you’ll need to use a USB Type-C adapter, which is included in the box.

Another positive is the built-in FM radio. Being able to tune in your favorite stations without needing a mobile app and without using mobile data is also a welcome feature on the cheaper model, while the more expensive, flagship smartphone does not offer it.

A clear price difference

Another important difference between these two smartphones from the same manufacturer is the price. While the POCO F2 Pro sells for about 460 €, Mi 10 exceeds the 600 € mark. In terms of performance, though, they’re the same devices.

Even before you buy, we’ll just point out that we link to the German version of the Edwaybuy website. This is so that payment goes through in euros—because through the English version you can only buy in dollars, and given the exchange rate, the prices aren’t as advantageous.

If you don’t know German, just like us, you can use Google Translate to translate the website.

1. First, register your account using this link. If you already have an account, you just need to sign in.
2. Add the product to your cart using the “IN DEN WARENKORB” button (add to cart).
3. In the cart under the RABATTCODES section, you can apply a discount coupon:
4. Then click the “zur Kasse gehen” button, which means Proceed to checkout. You’ll be redirected to a page where you enter your address (without diacritics) and choose a payment method. Available is only PayPal payment. In this step, just to be safe, you can re-enter the coupon (if you didn’t enter it earlier) and you’ll also see the shipping total.
5. Confirm your order with the “Place Order Now” button.

Of course, you can’t compare them in every area—for example, the camera in Mi 10 will be a few levels higher. If you, however, care about performance and want a fast smartphone with the best hardware for year 2020, the POCO F2 Pro is a great choice.
