In my country, through an IT portal, I asked the users who have this mobile phone installed MIUI 14 Global and several of them answered me that they have not noticed a single problem so far, one user wrote that until now after every upgrade of the new Android And MIUI made sure to reset the factor and only then everything was completely OK. The only thing I've noticed so far is that my POCO only charges quickly with the original Xioami cable and 33W charger, and I have Baseus chargers of 100 and 120 W and with them the 100W cable charges very slowly or won't charge at all.

I've got my Poco F2 Pro for almost 3 years since I bought it last November 2020, when I got my hands on the phone, I quickly set the automatic to updates off. My experience with the phone is still okay and bearable since I am still on MIUI 11.0.4. I've never updated it since then, but the performance is still reliable, and no issues with the performance for most of the time that I'm using the phone.
Pros for me:
The camera is always good for its price
The Snapdragon 865 can always perform best in games like PUBG, CODM, and Apex Legends.
Fast file transfer speed (UFS 3.1), for 3 years the 256 GB is still not full
In display fingerprint is still responsive like the first time I bought it. (MIUI 11.0.4).
Still, good gaming and overall phone to use in 2023.
Cons for me:
Sometimes loading the home screen after pressing the home button or the recent app button is taking 30 secs to show the apps which is a rare occurrence for me and not an issue considering it is a 3-year-old phone.
Overall, this phone is worth my money, btw I never updated it because of my experiences with my Pocophone F1. I learned my lesson on that phone, you should never update your Xiaomi phone. (if you want to take the risk of your phone getting some issues after updating.)

MladenJ, 10 Apr 2023Its possibile return old MIUI 13 on mobile after
MIUI 14 ... moreAs I mentioned, you will not be able to downgrade to an older MIUI version once you upgrade. You will be stuck with the battery drain issues, charging issies, fingerprint malfunctioning issues and so on, forever. It's my advice, take ot or leave it.
Some users here say there is absolutely NO PROBLEM. So go ahead, you may be lucky. My 256GB Poco F2 Pro became charger selective after update to MIUI 14. It will no longer charge with other chargers after the update and will only charge with the original charger and charging cable in the box. And when it charges, it takes now a lot longer and the battery drains faster. As for the fingerprint sensor, it stopped working when I updated to the previous update just before the MIUI update. Xiaomi is killing my Poco F2 Pro slowly so that I will never suspect it.
So if you want to listen to the others without problems, go ahead, update your Poco F2 Pro. It's your phone and your money. Not mine.

Chaotic1981, 09 Apr 2023Dude you're a malicious troll and i don't know wh... moreI am entitled to share my experience especially because I have owned more than 10 Xiaomi phones which I bought for family members: from Mi Max 1, Mi Max 2 (2pcs), Mi Max 3, Redmi 4, Redmi 4x (2pcs) Redmi Note 4, Poco F2 Pro, Mi A3, and a Mi pad 4 tablet and only the Xiaomi devices that I avoided updating are still alive today despite being 4-5 years old! I was a diehard Xiaomi fan until I noticed the planned obsolescence pattern - Xiaomi slowly killing old model Xiaomi phones with updates that drain the battery more, make the charging slower or selective charging malfunctioning (no longer charges with other chargers - only charges with the original charger in the box), fingerprint sensor malfunctioning, and so many other phone problems and bugs that will render the old Xiaomi phone useless that you will be forced to throw it away and buy a new one!
So don't stop me from advising Xiaomi owners of 2 year old or older Xiaomi phones
asking for advise that THEY SHOULD NEVER UPDATE a 2 year old or older Xiaomi phone or tablet! I am not against updating for as long as the Xiaomi phone is 1 year old or newer. But for 2 year old or older Xiaomi phones, I am advising from experience JUST DON'T UPDATE unless you are prepared for the HUGE/HIGH possibility you may need to buy a new phone should the update result to battery draining, charging problems, fingerprint malfunctioning, etc. etc.

Here people are no longer smart, who lies and who writes the truth .. So far I have not had any problems with MIUI 13 Global, the battery lasts less and less, but it is the third year of the mobile phone, which is fine, please advise if something goes wrong with MIUI 14 and I can't restore MIUI 13, is it possible to insert some other software into the POCO phone?

If your own expirience with this phone is ruined that doesn't mean you should spread your conspiracy theories because they simply are not true. My Poco F2 Pro works perfectly after every update so far and i have no intention nor reason for replacing it.

Xiaomi's planned obsolescence is random. You will not know if it is your phone that is targeted to die. It's the only way to hide this malicious Xiaomi plan because some users will initially not have problems after updating but majority ultimately will.

MladenJ, 04 Apr 2023To install or not the new MIUI 14 Global, are there really ... moreDO NOT INSTALL! Xiaomi is killing the Poco F2 Pro with the latest update because the Poco F2 Pro is an old phone and Xiaomi wants you to replace it. There are lots of battery charging issues, battery draining issues and fingerprint malfunction reported with the latest updates. You cannot rollback once you install.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY UPDATE to your Poco F2 Pro unless you are absolutely sure you can already throw away your Poco F2 Pro!
