Phone died 2 weeks after I got it due to motherboard issues and the same thing happened exactly 1 year and 1 month later.

      Hi,
      I was waiting on F6, but I think it will lack headphone jack, so I´ll probably buy this one instead.

      I mostly listen to music (headphones) and speakers, take some photos and videos.

      Is there any bug in this regard?
      I’m using a MI9T.

            Doesn't surprise me that the processor in this phone performs as well as the 8 Gen 1. Is a downclocked 8+ Gen 1 after all.

                Then again, I always knew that Poco is the worse manufacturer when it comes to software updates. So, I didn't had any high expectations about it (still the security patch is 4 months old). I bought it because I got it cheap (280EUR new).
                By the way, I live in European country and I have global version of the phone.

                        I have F5 with the 8GB ram version and i was reading manhwa when i was sick and got like 12-14 hours of screen time till the battery drop under 20% and i set it to charge. Also i had screen brightness turned to 50%

                        Doing like something 1-2 hours of screen time a day and my battery last 3-4 days without charging. If you have brightness maxed out and have 10 hours per day screen time then there are no other phone out there that will last you more then a day. Well if you dont use these rugged phones that have like 10.000mAh plus batteries phones that is.

                          I even hate the UD Fingerprintscanner. U should always be careful what screen protector to use or u will have a bad unlocking experience! I love the side mounted one on thr Zenfone 9 and hated the under display one on Zenfone 8

It seems to be a trend for most Youtubers to whine how a midrange phone lacks flagship features. Just like how Marques Brownlee complaining about the Pixel 7a lack of wireless charging and 60hz. Google addressed those but ended up making the 7a launch at a higher price than the normal 7.

                                  >If we need to get nit-picky, we'd complain about the side-mounted fingerprint reader. The under-display one is more versatile, and it just doesn't sit well in 2023.

                                  More versatile according to who? I for one have always envied Sonys because Sony get this right (like many other things like not falling for notches or punchole cameras): side mounted fingerprint sensors are the right choice, tech works great universally and you can actually use the sensor for gestures unlike under-display sensors (actually I don't care about this but if we are talking about versatility we have to mention it). You still have major youtubers complaining about the under-display fingerprint sensors for flagship phones which is hilarious and 100% unnecessary when side-mounted tech works so well.

                                        I specifically chose the Poco F5 BECAUSE it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. I own(ed) two phones, Xiaomi Mi 9T and Samsung Galaxy S21, with UD fingerprint sensors and both suck(ed).

                                        My girlfriend has a Pixel 6a and completely disabled her UD sensor and opted for oldschool Pattern Lock because the sensor is such utter crap.
