    Actually it supports 60 fps for fhd and 4k

      TheWildShadow55, 13 Dec 2021That's entirely false, almost everyone I know can noti... moreIt Is objectively true that majority of people have no idea what 60hz mean

      It's also objectively true that video media is still dominated by 30fps

      Not sure how you say my statements are ENTIRELY false

      All you did was give some anecdotal samples from "people" you know

      Almost like an echoe chamber or bubble

      When the masses have no idea what's going on and even if they can see the difference chances are they are not using consuming any content above 60hz

              Poco F1 is a good phone for the price but the first real flagship killer from Xiaomi is K20 pro, hands down.

                      Yeah, this phone was a legend, and still it is. And you haven't even mentioned the Infrared face scanner, which is of course not a faceID, so still 2D, but it could scan your face in every light condition, even from 2 meters away, which was better than the selfie camera face scanning what companies are using even today. And only 3 Xiaomi phones had this feature. So the notch wasn't there for nothing

                                      I've been using this phone since 2018 and it's amazing.
                                      But in the last few months, i faced a lot of software problems.
                                      Are we having the 12.5 update?
                                      And what do you think about custom Roms for it?
