              I had 2 of my phones, Oneplus and another Xiaomi, break down (MBO, charging, USB) after ~2.5 years, right after i replaced the battery.
              I then decided I will use for 2 years then sell, at least I get some money back that way.

                  This is a better buy than the 'Pro' variant, looks amazing and worth every penny.

                        YupMan, 10 May 2023What would you pick A54 or Poco F5? In my country both cost... moreWhat is there so complicated ? Want flagship performance with 2 years os update and 3 years security or you want middle class that give you 4 years android updates and 5 years security updates. Based on performance by Antutu v9 the A54 is around 500k while F5 is something 1M or close to it.

                        Also same performance to rival A54 you get Poco X5 Pro that is like 100-150 euro cheaper

Some people here like to keep ... moreWhat is Xiaomi doing is they are pushing sftware support from their hands to the hands of modders. It´s easy to release new phone every two months, but not easy to support it properly.
