I'd like to add that I have nothing against Xiaomi. It's only this specific phone model. I have 4 other midrange Xiaomi phones and 1 Mi Pad 4 plus tablet in our household and none of them were/are as problematic as my 256GB Poco F2 Pro. If it costed like my Mi Pad 4 plus or Mi Max 3, the many bugs would have been forgivable. But no, it's not a cheap phone and a phone at this price level, I do not expect so many software bugs and having a battery charging problem that required opening up the phone even before the first year! And no, I'm not alone with this battery charging that seems to spontaneously appear around the phone's first year.

BEN90, 01 Sep 2021That's a very wrong information, Sir. I've done t... moreIn my Poco F2 Pro, it keeps displaying 5G when I choose 'Prefer 5G'. I have 5G signal, yes, but phone connects to 4G only but displays 5G! How is that not fakery by Xiaomi. It's Xiaomi solving the previous bug - shutting down the other SIM when you choose 'Prefer 5G' and replacing it with another bug that displays 5G when it's actually connected to 4G only!

Xiaomi's solution? Display a fake 5G network logo even if it's conected to 4G. I do not lie. I speak from my own specific 256GB Poco F2 Pro phone model running the latest MIUI 12.5.2.
It's probably the same issue with the bottom center bar in which the hide option will not be available in the settings if you are using a custom launcher. It's proof enough of Xiaomi's horrendously buggy software updates.

I've also toggled on PREFER 5G, and 5G ain't showing because my area doesn't have it. So, Xiaomi has fixed the complaint you've been spamming everywhere here, and you turned to say that it's fake 5G.
I hope you ain't paid to advertise against Xiaomi, because the way you've been attacking this phone is becoming suspicious

If it's older than MIUI 12.5.2 then there's no 5G issues. Update to MIUI 12.5.2 and you'll be stuck with 4G only connection that Xiaomi maliciously labels as 5G. You'll know once you do Ookla speedtest. Connection will be shown as 'LTE' but the phone signal tells you it's 5G. What a fakery by Xiaomi. The previous software version at least had real 5G but it turns off the other SIM when you choose 'Prefer 5G'.

BEN90, 27 Aug 2021And why am I in a 4g area, and 4g is what's constantly... moreTry this: Go to Settings - SIM cards & mobile networks. Tap the SIM card you are using for mobile data. Next, under 'Preferred network type', tap 'Prefer 5G'. You'll instantly have 5G logo on your data network even if your area has no 5G. And even if you move to an area with strong 5G signal, you'll still be connected to 4G/LTE as evidenced by ookla speedtest.

BEN90, 27 Aug 2021And why am I in a 4g area, and 4g is what's constantly... moreI can confirm after 12.5.2 update, the Poco F2 Pro no longer runs on 5G even when the other SIM card is turned off. The network logo displays 5G if you choose "Prefer 5G" but it is still actually connected to a 4G network. It will NEVER connect to a 5G network even when 5G signal is strong and is available. It's basically displaying '5G' logo all the time if you choose 'Prefer 5G' but the truth is, it will never connect to a 5G network even when 5G is available.
The Poco F2 Pro has gone from bad to worse. The latest MIUI 12.5.2 update has disabled real 5G and made it a 4G only phone. Although you'll still see the fake 5G logo on your network signal (which really is 4G). You'll realize it's fake 5G because speedtests (Ookla speedtest app) will consistently show slow non 5G speeds and the speedtest app shows 'LTE' (instead of '5G').
BE SERIOUSLY WARNED: If you're a 5G user and want real 5G, DO NOT UPDATE to MIUI 12.5.2 which transforms the Poco F2 Pro phone from a 5G phone to a 4G only phone!

Have you tried going to the 5G area and trying it out?

After 1 year miracle happened, battery got increased. As per Xiaomi's official website and specs, battery capacity is now 5020 mAh, not 4700 mAh as per GSM.

Dual SIM operation with '5G' is now possible except that the network logo displays 5G even when the area doesn't have 5G towers and even when actual connection is only 4G. The fake 5G display logo on the network is a scam.

Anyway, I'm using the Version and it's so smooth.
Nevertheless I ain't happy that they've not put an option to change the recents app tab to be either vertical or horizontal, like in other devices with miui 12.5. I wonder what's difficult there
