Thank you Gsm, great review in such a short time. Kudos for the team!
After analyzing the market and waiting for some new models im definitly going for the F5 now. Good chip, good batery, good screen, ample storage, audio jack and andoid 13, unlike other recent xiaomi launches. The samsungs have better design, but weaker chips, and the A54 is more expensive. For the regular power user the camera is not that important, except from some quick snaps and the F5 still delivers!
I bet it will be gsm midrange recomendation of the year eaaaasy.
I ptefer the side-fingerprint, audio jack over

This in turn negatively impacts battery life and sustained performance.
Qualcomm seems to be back on track the 8+ Gen 2 though

F5 and pixel 6a are toe to toe as the best midrangers you can have now I believe in Europe, they trade blows... 6a better camera, smaller, google software, F5 better chipset and screen, decent camera, better antenna, 3.5 jack. Brilliant phone for the money if you ask me.

How is side mounted fingerprint reader is a con? I think its a pro for many! I'd take a good side mounted reader over a rubbish under display one which is often supplied with cheaper phones anyday!

Since when side fingerprint reader is not good? Its fast and consistent.
Compared to F4 have faster but more unstable soc, and thats it. Dont be folish by numbers here. Samsung a34 is a better deal. Its 100e cheaper, have better battery life, better speakers, 2 years longer software support, ip67, and even if this soc have double score on antutu, in real time usage, cant see a difference, except in gaming. Why? Cause of miui. Also, super icons still not available for global users, great treatment from company. Dont get me wrong, its a great phone, but good miui experience is reserved for China market, not for global customers.

The performance it offers at that price can't be beat. However, there are more balanced options around, if performance isn't your top priority.
Still good. If I get it at a decent price here where I live I'll probably replace my aging Redmi Note 10 Pro with it.

Can you please do an article about privacy policy of Xiaomi and compare it to the privacy policies of the Samsungs and Googles and Apples? Thanks!

Why do they complain about the missing UD fingerprint scanner? Its totally personal preferences and it makes sense for one to be missing in this phone considering the other features that are on this phone.
Plus opening your phone with the side mounted fingerprint scanner feels more natural to do and you dont need to move your finger around a bunch.

No mention of the AOD? Is it really just 10 seconds?
What is the point then calling it ALWAYS on display?

The SD 7+ Gen 2 is basically a reworked and slightly less powerful SD 8+ Gen 1 ...so all the qualities of that SoC will be shown here including the ISP, performances,etc...I hope Qualcomm will do this every year from now on... it's really quite brilliant of them!
