  • I had mine for 5 days now and I am extremely happy with it.   It's very fast (I got the 6gb/64gb version), no hanging here, it flies. Old Samsung J7+ would sometime hang a bit during heavy b

  • Patriot1066; consider that you could buy four Pocophones for the price of your iPhone, and think about switching to an Android phone.  I think the Android interface is very nice, and of course the har

  • Mr. Daocat, just checking Lazada, and via LazMall the Meizu 16th is on sale, last day today, for 11,900B, around $365. I see it going for little less on Aliexpress, and $50 less, if one is able to sec

Xiaomi Pocophone sounds painful, like an enema.

LazMall just got in stock in the blue color 6/64 Poco and is selling them for 9,990 baht ($303.65) with speedy free shipping.  Yesterday GearBest apparently had the red 6/64 Poco in stock but today I'm not sure GearBest has any Pocos in stock as they say "ship between Dec 12 - Dec 15" on their site which is not such a good deal.
 
The Lasaer store at Lazada no longer is listing the 6/128 Poco for 10,248 baht.  K-SMART at Lazada has one Red Poco 6/128 in stock for 11,790 and LazMall still has the Armoured Limited Edition Poco in stock which is the longest they have had it in stock yet and it's 12,990 baht.
 
"Think globally and act locally", as the expression goes, I would recommend Lazada for people buying the Poco.  They have them in black, blue, red, and Kevlar at good prices.
 
I have bought a number of phones from AliExpress and the delivery time is never speedy and can be rather slow.  While tracking my purchase it will say, "has left Country of origin" for a week, (which makes me wonder if the freight plane will crash due to lack of fuel).  LazMall by comparison, gets the phone in your hands in more like two days.
 
I use AliExpress for phones by Cubot or Meizu (oops, didn't check Lazada there on the my Meizu 16th order).  For phones which Lazada have in stock I usually go with them, however one Poster said that Shopee usually is about 400 baht less than Lazada.  I have never used Shopee but I went to their site and they do have some phones at a very good price.

And how much will Thai customs add on?

You'd have to check with Thai customs if you really want to know.

 

My last 2 shipments have had zero fees, both sent by local mail.

I am posting this in my four favorite threads because I am very keen about this phone.  Unless you really want the 4000 mAh battery of the Poco, I think, the Meizu 16th is a better phone.

 

I ordered my Meizu 16th from AliExpress on November 5'th and it arrived on November 22'nd.  I bought it from the Hongkong VT Store for 14,103 baht.
 
It does not have NFC or wireless charging.  The battery is 3010 mAh.  My memory is 6/64 and the ROM is not expandable.  For me, and I suggest that for many people it is the best phone that money can buy right now (ok, for those money is no object folks go for the 8/128 memory.)
 
It is thin and light with a Super AMOLED screen.  The audio is great.  And I got mine in the white color which I think looks really nice.  The build quality appears to be top notch. 
 
I would prefer it to have wireless charging for convenience and NFC for snob appeal, but phones which have those (Mate 20 Pro) do not have, in my opinion, the other desirable features of the Meizu 16th.  Phone features require a trade off.
 
In May the next  Meizu Flagship might be announced and it is expected to be the same basic phone with internal upgrades such a Snapdragon 8150.  For me staying with the same 6 inch screen makes sense.  It is big enough to show taxi drivers where you want to go on Google Maps, but not so large that the phone is bulky to carry around.
 
It has my highest recommendation.
