Without the case you get in the package it always feels a little slippery. Compared to the oneplus one I owned before it feels very heavy
The weight is a serious issue for me, it feels like a brick in the hand
Not sure why all the complaints about weight. I notice it a bit but it is a welcomed change to me. The weight to me resembles quality. In an age where I feel that my oneplus 5t was almost too thin, I really love how the MI Mix 2s feels in hand. Hard to say it feels like a brick because it weights 191 grams (6.74 oz) most bricks weight 3 pounds or more. The oneplus 5t was 164 ish grams. 30 grams isnt that big of a difference....
Ceramic is a lot stronger than other materials as well (yes its very brittle I know that), and I love how it looks. Plus it has wireless charging!
Nonetheless, the design, weight, and screen, make this the absolute best feeling device in hand. IN MY OPINION.
To each his own, weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy and ceramic is a less than ideal material for a phone.
For me the weight is a serious issue even when it does not look that much in numbers, you feel it while holding it longer, especially while watching videos.

You sure have a lot of issues with this phone! Starting to wonder why you bought it...
You must watch some LONNNNNNNNNNNG videos bro. Maybe ya need to hit the gym more if you arms are getting sore
I obviously bought it expecting the weight not being that large of an issue

"weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy" Soooo you're telling me that a plastic phone that is 100 grams is just as durable as a metal framed phone with glass on one side and ceramic on the other.
Sorry but you are wrong. My nexus 6p was metal and I watched many people fold theirs in half. Weight does not equal quality. But they go hand in hand....
Yes a polymere can actually be a great material because it can be light strong and flexibel, great for a phone especially when you drop it, brittle things like caramic and Glas break.
It's only because or the irrational 'premium' feel manufacturers started using these other materials

:good: Have fun with your polymer flip phones then dude. Its 2018. If you were to stuff a polymer phone in your pocket with a bunch of keys and coins it would be scratched to hell in no time. I own a polymer handgun and would never want my phone to be made out of it. Metal is harder than plastic dude. Metal would scratch plastic. Ceramic is extremely scratch resistant and it allows for wireless charge, unlike aluminum.
If you dont like ceramic and glass go back to your Nokia grandpa.

Dude keep calm, we are all friends here, no reason to be offensive
Actually 30g from 160g is a huge difference. That's one fifth (20%) so it is a lot. I agree with you that the ceramic back definitely makes it feel high quality but it will scratch and break too. The plastic back of the 1+1 was very very resistant, I dropped this phone countless times on concrete and it only had a few scratches. I would also prefer, in some cases, a good plastic to a ceramic or glass back(don't like glass at all) but it would destroy the premium look of the 2s completely.
Exactly, I had the opo too and it was nearly indestructible, great materials
I'm going to post this coming from a V20. In hand this phone feels weighty more so than the V20 even tho the difference is about 10g. While slippery naked, the provided case gives it a nice soft gripiness. The sides are gently curved and feel good in hand. I have long fingers so I can say the screen size is good for me but I can see the less endowed having issues. I'm happy with the feel overall.
This phone is sexy as hell. Love the look and feel. The weight is a non issue for me. Coming from my pixel 2xl the weight doesn't bother me. I'd be interested in a skin if and when that comes out.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback
Great feel but slippery. Really good build quality and yeah it is heavier than most other devices which is great imo.
Coming from MI5, yes, It feels heavier.
Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2S mediante Tapatalk
To me it does feel heavier than the other phones I've been using, but that's mainly because I've never used a phone with a screen size above 5"
After a few month the weight doesn't affect your usage of the phone and it is barely noticable.
It feels nice in hand for me with a "medium sized" hand (or what else you would call a normal hand
I just think it's way to slippery and couldn't see myself use it without a cover - and not the included one as that's even more slippery! Have no problems with the weight..

Keeping in one hand prevents me to reach the opposite higher corner, and hard to reach the lowest too. Big displays are nice because permits to benefit of higher resolutions and better visibility, but have their vengeance on things like this
Usually it results slippery, so a cover is a must in my opinion both for keeping it protected and rough, especially to avoid a couple of really bad words with a final crash on da floor
This is my cover. Both sides are non slippery.
https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5153
Yeah, a non slippery cover is this phone's best friend
In my hands, the phone results to slide away so easily. I often have hot hands, and by consequence, smooth hands. On 6X's materials the result is incredibly slippery!

My friend uses TPU+PC case. Very strong grip.

Doesn't feel slippery despite being metal.
definitely feels good. corners are curvy so phone can be easily carried in hand without trouble. Phone is of 5.5 inch screen size so a bigger one for many but the design makes the difference here and we can easily use the phone without any problem.
Feels good in hand.not slippery as honor 5x
It feels very good in hand nice look and design comfortable to hold but bit of slippery
Feels premium. I love the curved back
feels really premium in hand
Just the right size for my hand.
It feels alright when holding it. The size is really good, but it does feel cheap.

Glass feels premium but fragile, slippery, fingerprint magnet and bad conductor of heat compared to metal. Well, people will use a case anyway.
Feels premium, i love the design, very chic and elegant. the black color is really nice fits well.
Yes, the glass is fingerprint magnet.. but anyways i use a case. but sometimes i use it without case just to feel it. the finger print and low bezels is really the best in the market... because it is really small bezel and u dn't need a navigation bar to take part of the screen. so comparing it to other devices it was better. so far didn't notice defects.
Overall it looks great but the paint used on the metal sides isn't great quality. I've NEVER used the phone without the provided case. I took it out to have a look at it for the first time in ages the other day and noticed the phone has scratches all the way down the sides. My assumption is that this is from dust in my pocket getting between the best and the metal frame. First time I've seen this with a phone though.
almost scratch free. really slippery without case. I use a soft leather case to maintain grip. or it would keep on falling
Fell premium. I was happy with quality of materials until 2 days ago, when i try to change SIM card, i put out phone from case, and put on arm rest of sofa. I dont know how it could be possible that phone slip down on wood table. 20cm distance and left corner on alu frame is little sunk.
Screen scratches super fast. I have old Chinese umi super, used it in work no screen protector or case. Never get scratches. My mate 10 just a few times in pocket of jeans got scratches... Horrible.

Uhhh you do realize that there's a factory applied screen protector right?
I took that off the first day of use. I dont like it.. On akl my previous phones never used screen protector. No scratches
I have white spots/circles on the side of the phone. Paint is rubbed away. Not many of them but its still a shame.

I got the 10.8 and it feels great in hand whilst sitting up..But when lying on your back in bed it's a little too thin and hard to hold, feel like your going to drop it on your face..
I've ordered a back cover for it, just waiting for it to come. Hopefully will make it nicer to hang onto whilst lying down..
The 10.8" tablets feels a good weight I the hand but the back & front glass is very slippy you definitely need some sort of case. I have the Samsung s 10.5 & the back is not slippy at all & even the glass is less slippy & less reflective I guess Samsung put some sort of coating on the glass?
I was surprised to see the main camera bulges out, makes me nervous setting the tablet down.
I bought this tablet as an upgrade from my SHIELD Tablet K1 and it feels great to hold, it's light for it size and the rounded edges are very comfortable
Sent from my CMR-W09 using Tapatalk
handy with the right case
I have to say im liking mine. I have bought the case with cover and the gel case. I found the flip case to always need flipping to access, so would tend to just go for my laptop instead. Having the gel case, I found it much easier to use and fitted a glass screen protector as obviously its going in bags without a cover. The case is grippy enough that I can prop it up on any table surface without worrying about it sliding over. The haptic feedback is terrible though. Feels like something you get on a $50 smartphone. The 10.8" is a great size too. I find myself pretty much always watching media in landscape mode and everything else portrait.

I too got this as a replacement for a K1 and found that this is harder to hold compared to the K1. This feels really slippy compared to the all plastic K1. Getting a case for it to have more grip.

Very comfortable in hand, hardware buttons are well placed, for the finger print scanner, some may have had that concern due to proximity to the camera lens but that fear may not be true as the scanner is recessed a bit and easy to locate.
Included Case
The case I got is very poor quality and can be easily removed not perfect fit. Does anyone have same issue. It's very loose fit feels phone ccan fall from this if you don't hold it tight.

This included case is for temporary use until you buy one. At this budget don't expect for the quality, just enjoy the performance of the device :silly:
The in hand feel is great. I have owned Mi4i before, and honestly, i have no issues with the polycarbonate back, it does wonders for gripping, and compensates the weight for that huge battery underneath. My only two grievances with the device are it's weight ( coming from a MI5 here, that was 129 grams), it kinda hurts my hand when using for longer periods of time. And the second is that palm rejection is poor, besides that, its awesome for the price, the buttons feel clicky, and the device stays cool

In hand feel is just like any other phone out there. You won't feel the unpremiumness that much at all.
But yes the device a bit on the heavier side.
PS: get the screen protector.
Been using the phone for 72 hours now. In the beginning the in-hand feel was quite difficult since i am jumping from a 5.5in and felt heavy too. But now have gotten used to it. The stock case feels and fits quite bad, going for a new one asap.
Can I ask a question that some of you may feel very basic!

Why should the screen protector be used and by "screen protector" do you mean tempered glass?
If yes,
If it is to prevent scratches, doesn't gorilla glass 3 take care of that?
My nexus 5 had gorilla glass 3. I had used a tempered glass for some days but felt the touch feel inferior and hence removed the tempered glass and didn't have any scratches until the phone died after 2 years because I messed up the battery circuit.
If you mean back cover then I can understand, I had used pu back cover with nexus 5 and it survived 2 falls with that. Poco f1 on the other hand might need a strong body armor, I'm not confident about the glass as it's a taller display and edge to edge 2.5d glass.
Having said that, if the edges of back cover protrude up around the scren and wrap it, so as to protect the screen (as in case of my nexus 5),when placed face down, will the full screen gesture control still work on Poco f1?!

I drop my phone a lot. Me not that much but sometimes my sister or her children get hold of the phone and you can imagine the rest. I have owned 4 phones all broken in the first few months. So any kind of protection is most welcome here. And no I'm not worried about scratches, that'd be silly.
I don't know if the protrusion would be that far up so as to interfere with touch.
Any suggestions how to protect the 2.5d curved edged screen from drops?

I put on a real cheap (₹100) tempered glass which doesn't even cover the whole screen and the touch response is great.

Hi, Is the rear of Poco as soft and grippy as the Mi4i? I believe it will be same for all the colored backs, Blue black..
I love phones where you do not need to apply cover and just a screen guard works! (Tantrums of a OPO owner!)

Yes, its matt finish, just like the Mi4i. Its not exactly soft, the phone definately slips, but its better than metal and glass. You can use it without a cover, but I reckon the back will pick up scratches, i went for a camouflage skin for the back, makes it grippy and still keeps the phone just as thin( i mean 8.8 mm isn't exactly thin, but with a cover this phone would be hard to hold).

It's a slippery bastard helped by the transparent case ... Still slippy
Is very premium and comfortable. I can use it one handed, it's slightly heavy but not bad. You get used to it quickly.
The worst part is probably the camera. It does protrude on the back, unbalanced without a case.
However if you use the transparent case the lip of this does extend to the camera depth so the lenses are protected.
Also note, might be liaow doing it but it comes with a very unnoticeable screen cover already applied...so don't freak out if you score along it with your nail, you are not scratching the actual screen!
Screen cover was very poor. I've replaced mine with a hydrogel version, much better and self healing from minor damage.
I've also bought a rugged shield case, used these before and they protect camera area and give a good grip and feel as well as good bouncy protection

can you share some link about some good TPU cover (clear) for my transparent version? Possibly in EU, if there are, because I seeing something around the world that need 1 month to be delivered.

Can you pls share the rugged shield case link and few photos
I bought my rugged shield case from eBay and the hydrogel protector from Ali. Bought 2 but not used the second, first one still good. So pics attached
Personally, I can recommend the Nillkin CamShield Case for Mi 10 Ultra.
It's very well made - the cutouts are precise; the corners are thickened to better absorb impacts; the case extends about 1mm above the display and you get a hard plastic cover that protects the phone's camera array when you swipe it shut.
I bought it from nillkin.org, the delivery took about 10 business days.
Man those are less than half the price on aliexpress. I think I'll get one from there.
