A pho... moreSome phones are not meant to be bought refurbished, like most budget chinese ones, but iPhones, Samsung, Pixel phones are good value bought refurbished, and most mid range or better ones are good value bought used, saving up to more than 50% of the price of a new one just for having less or no warranty, and mostly minor scratches and about 10% battery wear. I will most likely buy this phone used in a few months, and i will save 200-450EUR, as a used one is 200EUR, and a new one 400-650EUR.

A phone is one of those things that aren't supposed to be bought in a refurbished condition.

Was getting random reboots about 2 times a day - instantly after I bought it used from a local shop, so I rma'd it (likely issues with the RAM, 8/256GB model). Currently waiting for a replacement of the motherboard by the Xiaomi authorized service center. We will see how that goes...

However If you have deeper pockets buying an iPhone or a Samsung flagship will be my recommendation as you can be worry free for a minimum of 5 years.
My father bought iPhone 7+ when it was launched and he is still using it. Apart from battery degradation there are no lags or any issues.

Now, I do agree they need to give longer software support.
But that will depend if it gives them profit.
Apple is able to do it because you pay premium up front, and Apple makes money through their software services too.
No one uses Poco's software services, we all unbloat our devices and and use other services mostly Google. So longer software support is just Poco bleeding out money plus a low profit margin won't be good for them financially.
That's why at least Poco leaves that to us with custom roms.
I'll say they NEED that software support on the premium line up, because Samsung and Google are doing it so they need to match up for the price we pay.
But on Poco and Redmi, it's understandable.

Poco F3 is, in and by itself, an excellent phone. It's the best smartphone I have owned so far. After all the updates/upgrades I have no problem with it now. The problem is Xiaomi, not the phone! A few months from now Xiaomi will neglect and abandon this stunning phone, which will make it vulnerable for constant malware attacks. That will create a big problem for the end user. The phone will continue to function for several years to come, but it will be unsafe to run important and sensitive tasks on it, tasks like banking, email, ID authentication, multi factor authentication, electronic passport & ID...
Xiaomi doesn't care about the end user, because they already got our money and there isn't much we can do about it. Maybe serious and popular news outlets like for example GSMArena, can initiate a thread to discuss long term software maintenance. That will certainly raise customer awareness and hopefully put some pressure on Chinese manufacturers to stop viewing phones as disposables. Rare earth metals are running out and all these electronic disposables are polluting and killing our planet Earth.
Phones have to function in an extremely aggressive environment. It's a death wish to do your banking or put your electronic passport in an unprotected smartphone. I don't think installing your own ROM, VPN or antivirus will protect you. The platform itself must be constantly monitored, guarded and protected by the manufacturer. Xiaomi has historically shown that they abandon their units a couple of years after the release date.
