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!

      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.

                      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.

                            No mention of the Redmi Turbo 3?🙄 It is significantly cheaper and I want to know if there is a difference at all.

                                  I dont really know about this one. Worse batterylife (in your tests) than the X6 Pro. The X6 Pro is around 100€ cheaper for the base model and has slightly worse performing chipset. Meanwhile on other aspects its basically the same. Some camera shots are better with x6 pro some with f6. The launch price for the F6 seems bit high, specially in Europe.

                                    still F2 is better, downgrading on menu but the worst is the OS is completely unusable

                                        Strawhat, 29 May 2024So you are saying GSMArena battery test is invalid?who knows, I can't even determine this. What do you think about tests on YouTube?
