      Hzzif, 03 Sep 2023Really can't help with the A54 design, it's quite... moretotally agree with you, same design, same back look with those cameras, thickest phones ever, lack of innovation all the way, they just rely on their software update policies I guess

        Zero, 03 Sep 2023Both has their own strenghts. The Samsung one is good fo... moreA54 camera is not so much better then F5 camera to mention it. You must be some serious camera nut to know the difference and i mean the pro settings in cameras to make pictures without the brightness contrast difference the phones have that go under auto filtering.

        Also the quality after with the filters on both is personal what is better and cant be compared so much. I watched few videos of users compare the camera and on some cases F5 was better and in other cases A54

        When camera is important then you should not even look middle class phones for that and aim flagships that are made for camera. Camera on budget to middle class is a place to cut the overall phone cost. While middle class still have better then budget but no where close to flagship quality

          Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023How do you hide the A54's thick chin? I held the A54 a... more"The front is ugly" lmao, they're all huge black screens and you can only differentiate most phones through their camera layout on the back nowdays. That's when you know people have nothing to complain about if these are the kind of things they can only come up with lmao.

            [deleted post]Read the comments, clearly people meant that the A54's front is ugly, not it's back. A case won't solve that.

              Tere is no comparison ..... Processor is more powerful in poco than A54 ... But A54 has everything better other than processor...

              Now main question is... Will poco F5 survive for even 1 year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

                    idkBg091, 03 Sep 2023Yeah right the poco with software issues will be perfectly ... morepoco f5's benchmark score is nearly double so it is worth it even with the terrible software. also you can install a custom rom like pixel experience or lineageos with litegapps/bitgapps.

                      justasmile, 03 Sep 2023How do you know what they were talking about, though?Who is "they"? I replied to you, not others.

                        Here I only see 2 telephones that are useful if you don't want to spend more than a thousand dollars on an ultra-high range but if you want to do everything you would but spend much less!

                          Both has their own strenghts.

                          The Samsung one is good for camera

                          And Poco one if you want to play heavy games like Genshin.

                          Still, waiting for a mid range phone with Dex Mode. We need a 2nd hand flaghship like the Huawei P series or the Galaxy S series to get that nice mode.

                              there is MIUI and thats why samsung better

                                They cover different segments. Samsung doesnt have just longer software support, its more polished, and the social media aps work perfect. Its a kind of device that u open a box, put sim card in it and thats it, it will work great. U know what to expect. Poco is more for explorers. U have amazing raw power, build quality from my experience was also great, but have some iritating bugs. Like u dont see that someone send u mesage until u open app, rotating problems, virtual proximity on many devices which work bad, limited sofware support on 2 years in this case, and the phone have power to support any upcoming android update. I like them both. I suggest Samsung for parents, kids in school, people who receive many mesages. Poco in my opinion is for students, gamers, someone who dont receive many mesages, who want speed and doesnt care for other things. Just put your priorities on the list and choose, u will be perfectly satisfied with both of them.

                                  How's this even a contest? lol. A54 only has the edge on the main camera, and maybe the Android skin and OS updates (which is totaly subjective since people might like MIUI more than One UI). Camera alone and two more Android versions isn't enough just to compensate the sheer raw power superiority on the F5's SoC, plus its battery efficiency (go search about A54's battery drain issues on standby). Also F5 will probably have custom roms all the way up to Android 18 or more, given how popular it is.

                                        The two UIs that require SoC 200% stronger to give same performance compared to other brands.

                                        Samsung and Xiaomi phones need SD8g2 to match speed of other brands powered by 855.
