Russel, 14 hours agoThe loss of 3.5mm headphone jack is more relevant to anyone... moreThey want to sell you these wireless headphones that you lose easy and buy more.
Same is with the SD card they removed is that they have storage options so if you need more space you have option for it.

If there is a SD card then you would go with the lowest storage to save money so you can use the SD card for storage.

My last phone had 32GB storage and i had 8GB SD Card from the time i had Lumia 520 something 11 years ago. That also was in use in Lumia 830 and my previous phone as Redmi note 5 ai dual cam for 5 years. Now that i have 256GB it's more then i ever need on a phone as i dont hoard apps and games and everything. I dont even hold pictures i take more then a day.

But i agree you on 3.5mm jack and that was the main reason why i got F5 year ago as i would have went with X5 Pro at the time if the F5 would of not had the 3.5mm jack. So i can use my headphones i bought like 5 years ago that have the controller on the wire for calls and volume and next song buttons. I also went trough a lot of headphones to find one that fits my ears and wont make it painful after hour of use.

    There's no performance uplift that demands and upgrade AND there's serious loss of options/choice while aping apple plagiarizers.
    The only reason you'd need to go for it is if you have a much lower end device.
    Wired headphones and IEMs are way superior in audio quality, they don't need to get charged and you don't need to throw them away after the battery life depreciates.
    All the reasons they tell you for ditching the port don't really make sense other than 'I want to copy what other did by copying apple'.

      Kaaaan, 23 May 2024Yes, that Arbor guy is a hater of this POCO/Xiaomi brand. ... moreKaaan, don't be silly, I don't hate Xiaomi/Poco, in fact I was very, very happy with my phone until I put on an 'update' and found I had put on HyperOS and my excellent X5 phone had become unreliable and BlueTooth very much so. Now I cannot use it in the car, not even for phone calls using 'hands free', and BT itself is unreliable often looping. I had an excellent phone, now I have a very poor one because of HyperOS.

          Xiaomi/Poco peaked at this phone. F6 is such a downgrade. If only this was still sold brand new in my region; I would have gotten another!

              Last year, bought this smartphone for around USD200 at my region for 8GB/256GB version, I would say this is the real steal.
              For it's price, it is already very good, the rest of the cons are just some preference thing, which doesn't affect much of the usage.
              Those still nitpicking of course is already asking too much, simply just blaming for the sake of blaming, or I should say you don't know how to use a smartphone of this caliber.

                I have plenty of POCO devices and all just run fine, even plenty of Xiaomi device running HyperOS.
                There are bugs with HyperOS, but not the one that he keep mentioning.

                  In my last phone i needed to turn my phone region to India to have face unlock. Even tough i dont use the feature or want to use the feature but that was the only way

                  Don't listen to this Arbor and wait like a year so the os approves as the hyberos don't brick your phone. Useless person to listen when he dont even own the device so i dont know why he is in here even to talk about or advice anyone.

                    Maybe you also go talk in Samsung S24 page that your A05 is trash with something ?
                    Poco F series is flagship for Poco and X series is middle class for Poco series.
                    You cant complain about your lower class device in higher class device page and give advice to people that are not interested in your lower class device

                        I received the 1.0.5.0 build Global version (Stable Beta even though I'm not a beta tester) a few days ago, installed it OTA, everything seems good, no bugs as far as I can tell. Battery life seems to have improved a bit. The split screen functionality still doesn't work when using a third-party launcher, but that's what we've come to expect from Xiaomi when it comes to supporting third-party launchers. Other than that, the new build is smooth and resposive.
