zanezonair, 13 Feb 2024Minus the curved screen that I thought I could deal with. .... moreSo far the best looking phone for my needs is the redmi note 12 pro.
Only others so far are moto think phone and nothing phone 2a

    CamoGeko-XDA, 13 Feb 2024What kind of issues are you having? I'm just curious. Minus the curved screen that I thought I could deal with. ....turns out I can't. I want to protect it but tpu feels. Eugh.... Not good to my fingers. And any tempted glass ones have major issues I'm not even gonna deal with.

    Massive heating issues after updates. (Especially after the new trinity engine came out that they added, and no reseting the phone does not help. "Hyper efficient Snapdragon 8 gen 2" at work my lovers moto edge 2021 5g uw that I used to own but gave to her about a year ago has better temperatures than this thing and that has a 778g with stock andorid with extra steps (moto UI))

    (Might be the USB I use might be the phone. I'll know on the 14th when a different USB arrives) but all music I copy out of my phone ends up corrupted nearly 80% of the time.

    Minor issue here but it won't show up on universal android debloater anymore so I can't remove the stuff I'm never gonna use to help lighten the load on the phone.

    While this phone has the best screen in a phone I've ever had (and the best ui as well as I love Oxygen os as I've the best I've used so far. I've used Samsung and moto so far. And oxygen os is by far the one I like the most with Samsung being the UI I hate the most so far) also side note. I hate Samsung's super amoled screens. Color temp is way to freaking warm even at the coolest setting for that.) the issues above are just making me mad. And I'm at the point where it's starting to get on my nerves tbh.


    Tablet wise OnePlus is doing amazingly and I'm gonna stick with them as my tablet brand From here on in.

    Phone wise though? (At least from my op11 experience?)

    They could improve on a lot...

    And at this point. I just wanna get a mid ranger from a brand I've tried before or haven't tried yet.

    As I'm probably just gonna be getting a new phone each year and I don't need flagship specs so. Might as well just get a new mid ranger every year till I find one that's perfect for me.

    I honestly can't tell if your going to laugh at me or not or get mad at me or not or understand my reasons or not. So. I'm just gonna ask that if you don't understand any of my reasons then please don't judge me for them


    And sorry for the rant it was kinda needed

        Anonymous, 12 Feb 2024i just watch some YouTuber the phone cant stand bend test u... moreWell if you set your phone in back pocket and sat on it then maybe it will bend but in front pockets i dont see how this scenario can be possible.
        And it still needs a lot of pressure to be bent. Never mind that we have seen other phones bend before from brands like apple and samsung and so on but thats not the issue of build quality.

          pl2rts, 12 Feb 2024All of you that you just said can be said to any phone espe... morei just watch some YouTuber the phone cant stand bend test unlike F5 so its a big no for me since i always put my phone on pants i dont wana see my phone like soap in the future

            Anonymous, 11 Feb 2024just wait for poco f6....i dont recomended x6 pro since it ... moreAll of you that you just said can be said to any phone especially when for some reason you have some serious hate.
            Build quality is as good as any phone at 300-400 euro range for X6 Pro

            On build quality the question needs to be how easy it is to repair it and not like some that have a lot of clue on parts that makes it harder to repair

              zanezonair, 10 Feb 2024Looking to have some questions answered about this phone if... moreAs far as i know F5 will have 2 OS updates and it have got 1 OS update already so 1 left at least more but who knows as the phones coming out in 2024 xiomi promises 3 updates even on weak redmi note series. Si who knows maybe F5 get 3rd OS update too.

              Yes F5 have Google Play support and also have all the European 4G band and 5G bands.
              I dont know what is support visible.

              Yes screen is flat

              Every phone heats up on heavy load. I cant comment on that part as my F5 have not got heavy loads and i have not feel any heating with it.

                Anonymous, 11 Feb 2024just wait for poco f6....i dont recomended x6 pro since it ... moreAccording to OFFICIAL GSMArena benchmarks, the battery times are almost the same.

                The materials used are similar. In fact, the Poco X6 Pro has the faux leather back too, which might be to many peoples’ liking.

                And it’s much more than „just 1 more OS update“: The Poco X6 Pro has a higher resolution screen, brighter screen, much faster memory, faster RAM, significantly better gaming performance, in-display fingerprint reader, much better touch sampling, 360 degrees ambient light sensor and the list goes on.

                    CamoGeko-XDA, 10 Feb 2024Bro you're asking the same questions on every phone pa... moreBecause i just can't deal with it's issues anymore.

                    I regret buying it and I just want a solid mid ranger instead.

                      zanezonair, 10 Feb 2024Looking to have some questions answered about this phone if... moreBro you're asking the same questions on every phone page lmao

                      You can find out all those details by watching reviews and googling.

                      Also OnePlus 11 isn't even old, why are you replacing it?

                        Looking to have some questions answered about this phone if anyone is willing as it's one of my options for my next phone:

                        How many os updates will the phone get?

                        Does it have Google play support?

                        Does it support visible? (just lte 4g is fine. I don't need more than that)

                        Is the screen flat?

                        And now easily does it heat up under heavyish loads?

                        (Also please don't suggest a phone to me I have my own criteria for a phone and I just wanna find a mid ranger to replace my OnePlus 11 on my own.)

                        Thanks in advance for any help.

                                      I updated my device to Xiaomi HyperOS and i noticed a bug where i restarts my phone it would take ages for the sim 1 to be activated and recive signals

                                        radwind, 05 Feb 202413T isn't flagship, not even 13T Pro. It doesn't ... more13T and 13T Pro are like Samsung S class FE version.
                                        Can be still said that these are flagships or budget flagship.
                                        Only D8200 in 13T isn't that good in performance but it still have flagship cameras on the phone that you dont see in any of the middle class phones.

                                        While 13T Pro is totally a flagship and it's price also. D9200 is a flagship chip as the best of Mediatek on the time of the phone release.

                                        Or is it cause the phone have a plastic frame then that makes it not a flagship ?

                                        Can you explain what exactly is a flagship in your understanding !
