Tech87, 17 May 2023Poco f5 for 429€? And no SD-Card. Wtf??? The are dreaming :)No, you're the one who is. No phone at this price with similar specs (other than Sony) would offer a MicroSD card.

        Anonymn, 21 May 2023How can you seriously compare a phone supported directly by... morePixel has no support service in most of the world. Update support is much less valuable then service.
        If you keep your phone for 2 years, OS updates over that are not really imprtant. If you keep your phone longer, repair service and support becomes much more important.

        Also Pixels are bug ridden and have huge and widespread battery and reception issues.
        It's easy to dump on MIUI, but it's reliable.

        It is inane that google itself, with it's own OS, can't produce a stable reliable phone for many years now.

            For owners of the phone: Is the F5 dual active (DSDA) ? Because the Snapdragon 7+ Gen2 hardware has it.

But Pixel phones have a very poor record of defects, so having no official warranty means buying import units is essentially playing Russian Roulette.

                      no DOS support

                      this F5 is a garbage!!!!

                        Total disaster:
                        Google location history unavailable
                        Hey Google unavailable
                        Dark theme works partially
                        Location positioning is inaccurate
                        Cellular data signal strength indoors is weak

                        Features compared to Redmi note 8 pro

                          Anonym, 18 May 2023At this price, honestly, just buy the Pixel 6A or wait for ... moreDifferent strokes for different folks. But I guess in the 300$ dollar ballpark imo 6a and F5 certainly punch above their price range.
                          The pixel 6a it's a fantastic compact camera phone with a very capable chipset even today with a midranger screen and stock Android, while the poco it's the best all arounder with an stellar chipset, good and larger screen, worst cameras but still decent and a 3.5 audio jack..so I as I said to each their own.
