Some people here like to keep repeating about MIUI being bad, the fact is MIUI really isnt much worse than UIs from Oppo and Vivo. Custom rom is for those who want more control and performance, just like how some car owners heavily mod their brand new cars.

With more and more OEMs disabling bootloader unlocking, its good to see Xiaomi still giving users more choices.

    that why so many people using xiaomi.
    then again in xiaomi when you asking for updates is equivalent asking for trouble
    i think this phone will last longer thanks to powerful chipset compared to obsolete 870 865 855 778 762 etc
    except google/arm released new set instructions cpu

        Can't wait to see the 7+ Gen 2 benchmark performance. It looks like a truly promising SoC for midrange-grade phones.

          my phone now is Mi11t pro, i already use it around 6 month.
          is it worth it to change 11t pro to f5?

            0odle-noodle, 09 May 2023IP53? what kind of rating is that?? it seems like a good ph... moreIt’s just a basic rating where you don’t have to actually do anything other than putting a rubber gasket on the SIM tray. Minimal effort, but you can claim marketing to have an IP rating. Better than nothing though like those BBK phones

              What would you pick A54 or Poco F5? In my country both cost the same, my priority is battery life and camera.

                Are you out of your mind?

Unless you a... moreA54 is trash with its inferior exynos that even for daily usage perfom bad, not even including charger and headphone jack..this phone is way better with xda dev support you can get pretty good software choice

                    Is this worth upgrading from oneplus7 pro?

                        a52s, 09 May 2023Is this worth upgrading from Samsung A52s? Better stick with Samsung and buy A54 instead. Unless you are a gamer it is a good phone. Samsung gives perfect software support that no any android brand can give.

                              a52s, 09 May 2023Is this worth upgrading from Samsung A52s? If you don't use any more than 256gb of storage and have no plan on upgrading it since you can't, then sure. I would do it. I would also make sure it supports custom rom though as well.

                                    IP53? what kind of rating is that?? it seems like a good phone overall, but IP53 is ridiculous, IP56 should be the minimum

                                      Can't wait. Hopefully this will be my upgrade from Redmi Note 10 Pro.
