Since there's no Xiaomi service center where I live (EU), I had no other option but to dispose of my beloved F3. It was emotionally painful. I'm surprised that yours is still operational, given the severe Summer heat in the Middle East...

Bulged batteries are dangerous. The phone could explode or self ignite, which may in turn set not only your apartment, but the entire building on fire.

      I'm not sure what people's expectations are for a phone of this price, but I think it's worth it overall.

      I want a phone to hang on to for a few years. I still have a Poco F3 that has been great and I wouldn't be replacing it even now were it not for the fact that since the battery quick-charged in the direct sun once while in a thick case, here in the Middle East, it isn't holding it's charge very well.

      ...and that is my IMHO overlooked point here.

      For me, I replace my phones in 3 scenarios:

      - No longer holds a charge.
      - Is now too weak to do something I need it to do.
      - Destruction, loss or theft.

      I don't chase the infinite tech curve so closely anymore.

      So, for me, the chipset in the X7 Pro should be able to crunch any foreseeable applications for a few years.

      As for the battery - and this is the kicker - being silicon carbon chemistry, will - according to a 5 second search on ChatGPT - last between 100% - 567% more charge-discharge cycles, so it should still be kicking around for a few years - especially with its IP rating and plastic backs.

      ...and, if you've made it this far into my tech philosophy class, I will say the following regarding the camera based on my own history in the field by quoting the famous saying "the best camera is the one you have with you''.

          But why xiaomi is removing features like Samsung no audio jack and sd card reader and more. That's just silly.
          They should add infrared flir sensor to the main camera. All phones should have flir infrared camera sensor.

            JimmyTheGreatest, 19 Jan 2025Is there heat problem with X6 Pro? Is there heat problem... moreAbsolutely no heat issue, but I don't play games.

                Anonymous, 19 Jan 2025Does ot come wirh 7 os upgrades?Do you prefer the phone to get only 3 OS updates and still perform well after all 3 OS updates? Or you prefer to get 5/6/7 OS updates but the phone started to lag after 3 OS updates because of weaker chipset?

                    Anonymous, 19 Jan 2025Does ot come wirh 7 os upgrades?Only 3 but launching with latest android is biggest perk. Also asking price is 1/3rd of flagship. So it's really like what you pay for what you get.

                      Hello,

                      I come from a X6 Pro, then a F6 and now have a X7 Pro. I've absolutely no complain about X7 Pro battery life.

                      I use my smartphones many hours every day, for surf, calls and videos but I don't play. I'm on 5G most of the time and use it half outside, half inside. These phones don't show the screen on time, but I know how long I can use them.

                      Here is what I get with theses phones.
                      X6 Pro : 1,5 day
                      F6 : 1,25 day
                      X7 Pro : 2 days (HyperOS 2.0.9.0)

                      My last charge lasted 61 hours. Poco maybe fixed what we read in this review.

                                  Baterry performance might be due to the all big core SoC. I thought X6 pro is too good already for its price. Yet somehow poco still manage to add big upgrades in soc, battery, and charger with relatively same price.

                                  Id prefer Tseries tho. I hope mi 15T would have better camera design than The ugly 14T

                                    12series camera design was perfect, it's weird they move from that masterpiece

                                      other brand like cra** samsung ,xiaomi, realme .their battery life are nighmare .
                                      No matter how big the size .its still not optimized.

                                        I don't care if the phone has it's charger included or not - I won't use it anyway. Spec-wise 399€ for 12/512 is really good, but this phone doesn't have major component, which is a dealbreaker for me - no 2MP macro... Maybe F7 Pro will have it.
