    Alex 94, 03 Sep 2023Software is most important thing.If software was so important, then you have to watch the comparison of the Poco F5 to Galaxy A54 by Nick Ackerman on YouTube. Galaxy A54 had to load before powering on fully (lol), lagged like my old Nokia 1 for the first few seconds so we had to wait for it to “become snappy" before initiating the tests 🤣 Software without better hardware is as good as slamming the engine of a Toyota into a Lamborghini 🤣

        If Samsung is a must, get A52s instead of A54. You get headphone jack. 778g is much older but no worse than 1380, highly comparable (what more is expected from exynos?)
        Poco F5 is much better buy than A54. Way better chipset. 7+ gen 2 is capable of handling all the OEM provided updates and many years of custom ROMs.
        What's the point of all those software support that you Samsung and Google fans brag about if your chipset is incapable of properly handling latest software?

A lot of smart people have bought this phone and have little issues. So you're saying they shouldn't buy it because of recent failures? [Guess you're forgetting exploding batteries, and green line Sammy after updates]

                      I have the blue 12/256 Poco F5. It is discrete and elegant. MIUI has matured, it's smooth, modern, crisp and feature-rich. I don't find bugs in it at this moment. My only problem is the absence of FM radio, but I recommend buying this phone anyway, you'll be impressed by how responsive it is. A full charge will get you more than 9 hours of heavy usage and more than a day of "normal" usage. The camera is also impressive, I don't use/need 95% of all the camera's features/settings because I'm not a professional photographer, I just take a few shots a month, for example I take a picture of some important documents or the opening hours of a restaurant, the camera does it's job perfectly well.

                        Selling good = great phone.

                        Conclusion:
                        Galaxy A54 with exynos = great phone.

                          Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023since when Exynos power efficient? throttle king maybe. ... moreThe sales number of POCO F5 worldwide is similar as sales number of Galaxy A54 in one small city. Galaxy A54 sold ±9 MILLION units worldwide in 3 months after launch. Why is that?

                          Because Poco series is inferior phone compared to midrange from Samsung. Inferior software. Bad experience. Bad support. No IP67 like a phone from year 2003. Cheap brand value.

                          Phone like Poco F5 should be compared to Samsung entry level from years ago (Galaxy A01 core). Both phone have quite similar brand value.

                              Also, other UIs looks far more ugly and cheap compared to premium looking OneUI.

                                On paper F5 is a much better phone, but after a few poco fiascos (m3, x3 pro) with amateur hardware faults i'm never giving xiaomi any money. They got too big and forgot the basics!!!

                                    A54 photos are saturated
                                    Poco F5 photos came more natural

                                      The F5 wins this, by a considerable margin. If you really want a cheap and good Samsung, go for the A34 5G, it has a better mediatek 1080 chip than that exynos and you'll save money, it costs around 260-270 in Europe. Oh and the cameras are almost as good as the ones in A54 as is the screen, you won't notice it.
