But, there’s a (minor) catch…
It’s not a drill. POCO slashed the prices of POCO F2 Pro to celebrate Shopee 8.8 Mega Sale. From P26,990 and P29,990, you can get the 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB for P19,990 and P23,990, respectively. It easily puts the flagship killer as the cheapest Snapdragon 865 device right now. Now, as mentioned, there’s a catch. And that is — the store ships from overseas. Though 24-month warranty is intact, it’ll take time for the phone to reach Philippine shores; more or less 20 days. Add the fact that there’s a lot of restrictions with packages coming from highly-affected countries, who knows when your phone will arrive. If you’re interested, you can visit Xiaomi’s official Shopee global store or click on the new prices above that’ll redirect you to their listings.
