bought this phone instead of the 12 lite because 256gb version of 12 lite isn't an option in physical stores here.... here's my thoughts after my two weeks of using it
- performance wise this phone is absolutely bonkers for its price. i tried playing genshin on max settings and the phone barely heats up (but i normally play on mid settings 45fps so my battery wouldn't drain as much) [another note on cod mobile i normally would have max settings + max frame rate and i have yet to see it lag behind]
- the screen is great it gets so bright that i could actually use this properly outside. the speakers are nice as well (not the loudest but like... it's a phone speaker you can't have much to expect with phone speakers)
- battery life is good enough i can squeeze in a day of usage without charging if i stay away from mobile games (which is really great when you have to be out and such and i also appreciate the really quick charging which is a perfect backup plan if it's close to dying)
- one downside are the cameras.. theyre kinda eh especially in low light and a huge portion of the front camera snaps are a bit too desaturated
- the other downside is the haptics. the vibration could be a bit stronger (personal preference because i do prefer to keep my phone on vibrate)
- and idk if it's only me but i also notice that when i try to put facebook messenger on the floating window it usually glitches out when i type out a message which is weird but whatever
to be honest i am kind of regretting getting this because im not too particular about gaming (i do mobile gaming casually) and i am not the biggest fan of the back camera design but still! a very cool phone especially for it's price (arguably the best choice if you have enough cash to go above the entry level midrangers but do not have enough for the higher end of the spectrum like the 12t or the f4 gt)
if you prefer having a better set of cameras just go for the 12 lite or even the 11t pro if you still have access to it because it goes for even cheaper (it was on sale when i went to buy this phone so im kind of wishing i went and got that instead lmao)

have been using this phone 3 month, and im not regret buying it especially for game purpose. the peformance is amazing, and dont hope for camera it kinda suck. so for people that looking for camera maybe look other than this phone.

Phone Critic, 24 Dec 2022Not when you live in India Is it because the Indian Variants suck? I've asked around but most of the sellers replied by saying that isn't true and there aren't any problem with the Indian Models. Would love to hear back from you if you have a counter

Jemlim, 05 Dec 2022Kid you should stop complaining. We're in 2022 not in ... moreyea, 128 GB it's not so easy to fill, and not even talking about 256 GB of storage, because i tried, i had normal bloatware google app's, third party app's and a app of 2,3 same thing plus every possible app out there, with some hard game's like RR3, CODm, NFS:Airbourne (i think is NFS), and many more, and didn't brake over 70% of 128GB in 2+ year's, so for 256 GB you gona have multiple storage for minimun of 4-5 years.. But you need to take care of your smartphone, like copy transfer film's, pictures, some music and copying system backup on the USB Thumbdrive (128 GB Is the best solution, i use SanDisk 10 UFS 2.0 or 3.0/3.1, and never had any problem's, just saying)..O.K see you guy's

I too was skeptical, because of no headphones port, but now it's normal over with usb-c headphones and the stereo, who is so much better and louder then before, that it's amazing.. And you can bye 2 in 1 cord, where 1, is for charging and other 2-o for stereo headphones, and even 1-ne for data transfer or you just do that with OTG Cabel, so it's not so big of a deal, adapt and overcame, that's all to that situation...

Well, the reason i still need microsd is for offline extra storage and backup for my data, and collections. Im glad some files are in there after my poco f1 are suddenly dead. The reason i not using cloud storage because is not effecient, costly on long term with not constantly usage, anytime they cant hostile to my files and is not owned physically.
Is kinda sad to see a lot case dead phone on poco phone, from f1, f3, f4, x3 pro etc etc. Is pointless internal phone are hugeeee if is easier to break, you didnt have time to backup to cloud, their usb port are too slow too.
