Quick question. I bought the f22 pro and it’s just BIG. How do you feel about this and the form factor? Do you feel less compelled to use it? Also do you feel the keys more clickable or with more clicky feeling than the f22, if u know what i mean? And is it possible to change the messsage app and phone apps on these? I don’t really like the software of texts. I have the f22 pro up for selling due to this…😐 Thanks

I had to give up on my Chinese Qin F21 Pro as texting on it without a Nokia style T9 predictive text IME was impossible to get working & the single character text entry was just too slow. The installation of apps using APK's was an issue too. Now that I do have another android phone tho, I might experiment with the F21 Pro. It's sad really as the phone size & connectivity totally suited me. 🙁

@reggiep75 Жыл бұрын

Having seen the latest vid ('Xiaomi F22 Pro vs F21 Pro vs F30'), I might look back into using my F21 Pro as I may have been too hasty. My issue with previous versions of the Traditional T9 IME had been the back button/delete button issue, which was not the case in the video, so there may be life for my F21 Pro. Keep up the good work, Jose.
