The F5 feels like the best deal.
It's lighter, has headphone jack, and the SoC is just a downclocked version of the 8+gen1.
Personally, the only drawback is just Xiaomi's software support.

These are expected on flagship phones that have all the hardware best on the market as phones that cost 2-4 times more then this F5 does while dont have 3.5mm jack options on them

rizki1, 21 May 2023F5, which is an upgrade from F4.. 3.5mm jack is back, faste... moreYou get Redmi note 12 Turbo for less and it's 400 euro phone as the 8/256 version.
I got mine ordered for 410 as it was cheaper then i found even in amazon.de
It also have that F1 feel to it as a bang for buck flagship performance and also the black color version has the carbon fiber pattern on the back like the F1 had.
White version for some reason cost more then black and ugly blue. Or is that white version really so nice to have just cause of it's ice crystal reflection in the rear ?

I am shocked because of how underpriced the Poco F5 Pro is, sure, the battery life is underwhelming, and it still packs that 8MP Ultrawide and 2MP Macro Sensors, which are dealbreakers for budget photographers, but other than that, a 1440p Display, 8K Camera, a Flagship SoC, and 12GB RAM, all starting at a $450 Price tag?! I'm not fanboying them, but this is really nice to have, yet again, not gonna buy it unless if my S22 was magically bent at a 90 Degrees Angle
This is really suspicious, I mean, there has to be cut corners...

Not a great value unless they start to give 4 android updates which Samsung gives. And don't pretend that updates aren't important.

Weird survey site GSMArena used. On the other hand, I think the Poco F5 is much better than then Pro. You're basically getting the same power for less and weirdly the Poco F5 has better cameras than the Pro. You should probably get the Pro if you want gaming or better performance. Otherwise, it's not much of a Pro.

IDK if they solved it because a lot of poco owners have dead motherboards which I still hear of every once a while. The service centers apparently refuse to change it

If I wanted a midranger I'd pick Mi 12T Pro which in my opinion is superior and can be picked at discount or 2nd hand for a lower price than F5 Pro. But I'm keeping my F3 and looking for better options.
