JayRoar, 30 May 2024That battery life... Though in my years of use of xiaomi ph... moreMi 11 lite 5g with 4.2k mah last longer than this 5k mah :/

    That battery life... Though in my years of use of xiaomi phones, the battery life tend to get better after a week or two of use. I dont know why that happens

      zodiacfml, 29 May 2024No mention of the Redmi Turbo 3?🙄 It is significantly chea... moreBecause they are sold in different markets so it's not a competitor. Redmi turbo 3 is China only. Poco F6 is global markets and Poco is not available in China. No difference except the LTE and 5g bands

        mawlki, 30 May 2024We, the people, should steer the industry and nobody else.But we don't. Or at least not when it comes to 3.5mm jack (and microsd) support. All people do is to be obnoxious with their ranting here every day.

          bababoey, 29 May 2024How is having less "progress" ? I can't beli... moreThe progress is that I ended up buying some pretty expensive headphones. (Though I often find myself using my old Apple Wired Earbuds if I can.)

            CamoGeko-XDA, 29 May 2024Because in 2015 almost every phone had a 3.5 jack, in 2023 ... more1 jack in a recent phone will do just fine for me and there are many many options for that in 2024. There are quite some flagships and high end ones too that have this:
            Asus phones, Sony phones. Further down many midrangers from many brands. And last but not least almost all budget phones. There is a whole pile of phones that have it for good reasons.
            The ones that don't have it are purely a strategy to cash in at buds thought out by greedy marketeers.

              ashrobb, 30 May 2024None. But what is the constant ranting about it on this web... moreWe, the people, should steer the industry and nobody else.

                Why do they keep using the same crappy 8MP ultrawide camera? Besides the obvious trick to fool the unsophisticated users with an additional camera, I think there 're 2 other reasons:

                1) to protect their CURRENT flagship phones market - want a better ultrawide? Buy our flagship!

                2) as a reserve for FUTURE upgrade in their series - one day when they've run out of things to improve on, then they WILL upgrade the ultrawide as a last resort! Easy n quick solution, no need to scratch their heads!

                  bababoey, 29 May 2024How is having less "progress" ? I can't beli... moreNone. But what is the constant ranting about it on this website going to do to change it? It has been the market trend for years.

                    Isn't it possible that the battery life would be better in the future? Because look, we are comparing 8s gen3 which has a720 and a520 and X4 cores and 1100mhz gpu, to Dimensity 8300 which has a715 and a710 and 1400mhz gpu. I mean, the cores on 8s gen3 are more energy efficient and the adreno gpu uses less energy while being as powerful as mali because of the low frequency, right? Or is it the X4 core which ruins it?
                    I think considering the f6 pro that has the same problem, it's an optimize issue.

                      CamoGeko-XDA, 29 May 2024Because in 2015 almost every phone had a 3.5 jack, in 2023 ... moreHow is having less "progress" ? I can't believe people are genuinely defending the loss of the headphone jack as progress, but pray tell; what advantage or progress did the removal of the headphone jack bring ? Because I have seen none.

                          mawlki, 29 May 2024Why 2015? The 2023 Poco's F5 headphone jack will do ju... moreBecause in 2015 almost every phone had a 3.5 jack, in 2023 maybe one or two phones I can think of had it.

                          You see that progress is to remove headphone jacks on all phones now.

                            CamoGeko-XDA, 29 May 2024Go back to 2015 bro, you will find your headphone jacks there.Why 2015? The 2023 Poco's F5 headphone jack will do just fine!

                              PWM is dangerous, 29 May 2024Kudos to the team GSAMArena for including PWM. Really happy... moreAgreed

                                mawlki, 29 May 2024no jack 😠Go back to 2015 bro, you will find your headphone jacks there.

                                  ic, 29 May 2024Sat here on 84% after 12hr with 6hr screen on time. Battery... moreMeant 2hr not sure how I hit "6"

                                    Looks like their hyperos causing subpar battery performance…needs more optimisation and debloatation

                                      Sat here on 84% after 12hr with 6hr screen on time. Battery is plenty enough for me considering a typical day ia less than 4hr SoT with 1-2hr of it gaming...

                                        10h battery life test is absolutely laughable.. Better buy the Poco X6 Pro.
