It seems like a great device overall and probably better buy than F5 Pro. Xiaomi really did a good job with this one. It wipes the floor with A54 and it's cheaper!

ok, read the review carefully, I really believe that my choice to buy a samsung a54 at €350 in a shop last week was the right thing

Then there's SD 888/888+, 8 Gen 1, Dimensity 1080 and Exynos 1280 which makes choosing a recent SoC for midrangers quite underwhelming.

Is it a good choice than poco f5? I don't need OIS btw

Best price for performance ratio in this price range. It blew samsung galaxy a34 or even a54 with exynos!

I think UD fingerprint readers are gimmicks i have it on my phone and i hate it. I would take side mounted over this any day.

Side mounted fingerprint reader is actually a pro in some situations. I personally found it to be faster more reliable and most importantly one hand operation ready compared to underdisplay counterpart

As alternatives I would have added the X4 GT (note I don't find OLED any better irl than IPS-LCD) ... the 8100 has pretty good performance, though not as good, it also doesn't throttle .. Unfortunately Xiaomi made X4 GT pretty much invisible in UK, and rare in EU.
..
Shame to see this thing throttle so bad (Note 12 Turbo does exactly the same thing - down to sub 70% on throttle test) - hard to digest given the huge vapor chamber on the phone - are all phones with Cortex X cores just bad in this respect, or is there another factor ??

quote : " It's also different from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, which we deem a simple rebrand of the Snapdragon 778G"
This isn't true, even if performance is very similar, at least the 7 Gen 1 is on a smaller node giving better performance per watt ...
