28 May 2023
The F5 is right in the "value for money" sweet spot and offers the high performance, low cost experience that the F-series is known for.

But yes, many of my posts describing reality about Huawei and its ban from technologies and GMS were deleted, because loyal conspiracy theorists can't cope with the reality.

    kevvv, 29 May 2023Maybe they mean something on par, like Dimensity 8200 maybe?8200 is bellow 7+ gen 2 about 10% - 20%

And the data is stored either on your PC or your hard drives/SSDs in a NAS. Why spend on a portable SSD when your phone only transfer at USB 2.0?

        The only reason I will skip this Poco f5 is because it lack USB 3.1, will wait for galaxy s23fe I don't care if it's exynos if the battery backup is good enough. And Samsung dex is what I love so much esim will be an added bonus.

          I think it lacks some devices in the list (some Chinese variant of Xiaomi 12 with dimensity)
          About tablet, it lacks some too...such as Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2 with Kompanio 1300T

But still, that's mean you need to pay monthly/yearly if you want to store a big amount of your data to cloud, compared to store your data to portable SSD which can be cheaper.

                      F5 Pro is great but its price is 100% lame or too expensive. With the same amount of money, you can get SD 8 gen 2 in K60 pro. That is why I immediately sold off mine to get Oneplus 11 instead of the POCO F5 PRO

                        Edit: just noticed that if you want a phone with 1440p resolution that supports AV1, you only have 26 choices https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nDisplayResMin=3686400&sChipset=116,118,84,117,108,110,112,113,98,99,121,69 (included Pixel 6/7 Pro, but doesn't included in this link), with tablet you only got 8 choices https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?mode=tablet&sChipset=116,108,112 (included Pixel Tablet, but doesn't included in this link).
