Anonymous, 20 Jan 2025Yes sony is good too. The only bad thing about sony is you ... moreLol, really? Is that for real? They haven't learned anything from the past. Well, soon enough they will have to (when switch 2 comes out and PlayStation drops to xbox numbers)

    JimmyTheGreatest, 20 Jan 2025More than half a year ago, the battery in my F3 bulged. Sin... moreThat's what happened to me also.

    The adhesive connecting the screen to the body started to come loose around the lower half of the phone ever since it overheated. A sure sign of battery bulge.

    Then it dropped from 16 - 17 hours of battery life on an average day, to 8 - 10 hours before needing to be recharged. Major bummer.

      Anonymous, 20 Jan 2025Why you didn't replace the battery? Are your hands too... moreObviously you don't know what you're talking about.

      Glue is used in F3, not screws. You can't remove the back panel by unscrewing. The phone wasn't designed to be opened by the end-users. Even the phone shops refused to replace the battery, only one shop agreed reluctantly to do it for €100. It wasn't worth it.

      Please educate yourself before posting nonsense.

        When you buy replacement battery they include the tiny little screwdrivers for free!

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.

            Anonymous, 20 Jan 2025Sony destroying competition Yes sony is good too. The only bad thing about sony is you will lose your camera function after bootloader unlock...

              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.

                              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.
