So, a 400 euro phone is still stuck on the August security patch LMAO?!! Leave it to Xiaomi to still take the 🤡 crown. Meanwhile, my boyfriends vivo Y21s received Decembers patch level two days ago, and this phone literally costs 100 euros!
MIUI is a joke and I can't believe people still defend that god awful skin.

Mik3, 21 Dec 2022You compare F4 with its predecessor F3 and a bit with F4 GT... moreA pop up phone will never come out again. Punch hole is the way for the next 2-3 years and after that, an in-display camera.

always on display isn't a real always. after 5 minutes in total darkness it turn off, so you can't use it like a night clock. xiaomi continue with this no-sense configuration, like the battery saver schedule that kill some notifications or some vpn...

Camera - colour is inaccurate
Performance - decent at 60Hz, don't ever try 120Hz , it's horrible implementation, screen freezes sometime.
Screen - nothing extraordinary , my humble Samsung M30s had bright screen.
Software experience - Samsung OneUI is better n useful features.
What i like in Poco F4 over Samsung - good network strength, fast charging , loud volume , decent performance at 60Hz

Are there any recent Xiaomi/Poco phones with a flat screen and metal frame? It seems all the premium phones have curved displays.

I am using POCO F3 for a year now I got mine for $300 usd for the 8+256gb model. It's great but first I'm going to talk about issues not sure if only mine has this issue but there is always a green tint (100%) when taking a photo in very dark places but was solved with the gcam mod which is a better experience than the standard xiaomi camera app.
Second when charging sometimes it stops charging randomly but can be fixed by plugging it again (10%).
Third it may be normal but sometimes when in game it just randomly heats up for no reason even the game isn't that demanding(10%).
Thats all the issue...
The good side Snapdragon 870 ❤️❤️❤️
Great Amoled 120hz with amazing color settings which has enhancing program but consumes battery faster and it's not adaptive which is BS
Speakers are spot on amazing
I usually don't use 5g as I set it to 4g+ (LTE-A) but the internet speed is over 500Mbps in my area where I lived
I like the design over F4 which was on sale by the time I bought this phone on sale + coupons + free shipping.
So many customized UI like the pixel experience but I didn't change mine because it's still getting UI updates.

You compare F4 with its predecessor F3 and a bit with F4 GT. I read this review because I have (my daughter, really, has) the F2 Pro 8/256 for close to 2 years. She loves it. She gets comments for the pop up cam, which is why I bought it in the first place. I also have MI 9T Pro that also has a pop up. Ok, my main phone is the 1+ 7T Pro which, you guessed it, has a pop up. I love pop up cams and indeed one time I answered a call the pop up engaged unexpectedly. The caller was a sales call for insurance. I told them never to call me again. All of "my" pop ups work flawlessly and have never frozen. I keep the MI 9T Pro at home with my important data stored on it knowing it will not fail.
Thanks for the F4 long term review and needless to say that if for some reason a new pop up cam phone comes up I got money set aside just for that.
