    Alex 94, 12 Feb 2023Sd 870 is much better soc than 778g. Even sd 860 is better.870 is better, but not 860. 860 only slightly better GPU, everything else is worse. Either way, 870 should have been used

      SShock, 12 Feb 2023Dunno, my Poco X4 GT feels pretty solid build and feature w... moreI univocally agree with you with regard to X4 GT, I really love this phone. However, I still prefer my F3... I don't have a good and logical explanation for my personal preference. F3 gives me an unexplainable better feeling, it's nice to hold and surf with.

      My F3 went through a good number of updates/upgrades before it eventually stabilized. It's weird though that it still has some irritating bugs even now at the end of its lifespan. I haven't used my X4 GT so much but I think it has less bugs out of the box.

      I wish Xiaomi stop releasing half baked phones, because that will create a nightmare for the end user and damage customer experience.

              Manufacturers have gotten really lazy in terms of inovation it was visible last year but this year its even worse all they do is just take a last year phone, put maybe a slightly better chip or camera and get the price up

                    nope. Mid and boring. as ugly X3 Pro and X3 NFC was, it's still something new and exciting. now all they have is ugly but not new nor exciting since they now just rebrand already exsisting model.

                      This a generally good flagship killer

                      The ximomi phone here definitely not worth it
                      Not hot

                      Would expect a Snapdragon 870. For £300

                        We all know poco and redmi and to some degree xiaomi lose their value pretty fast but this starting price is too much

                        Poco F4 256gb is less expensive than x5 pro 256 gb
                        Even in my region i can buy brand new xiaomi 12T 256gb for around 400-410 dollars that destroys this x5 pro

                        Or I can even go fancy way and get honor 70 with 256gb around 370 dollars that offer much better camera performance and premium look and at least better UI in term of smoothness and having less bug

                        This x5 pro will not be able to persuade me to upgrade form my x3 pro

                              Pricing way too high
                              And 6gb ram crap version

                              Ximomi actually made expensive overpriced underpowered phones 6gb ram is a total joke in the price range there in

                              One could get a budget smartphone for half there price with full 8gb ram from UMIDIGI also stock android on top unlike ximomi

                              If £300 budget I actually can't find any mid range phone that can beat the umdigi f3 8gb ram that's only £105 not in any meaningful way anyway
                              There's a few other umdigi budget smartphone I consider bison pro 8gb ram or umidigi A13 pro 12gb ram or hotwav cyber 9 pro

                              If it was me buying phone for myself with budget of £300 probably just buy a old gaming phone as I can't stand notches & hole punch screens

                              It's actually hard too find a phone worth buying in the between the 150-300 price range just bad value for money in this price range

                              Just there not great phones but they cost a lot also so worsted of both woulds

                                Want to buy?
                                Yes

                                Can buy at that (high) price?
                                No (it's certainly high priced)

                                  My MI 9T Pro has the same speed. I would only buy this phone for the new software what i dont have on my current phone.
