So glad I choose blue. I already noticed scratches on the plastic camera ring. Can't imagine how disgusting the back panel scratches will be if I was to go with black.

      Problem with updates is for the phone it's self and not on the support that is given by apps and games that must do that on there own while Xiaomi and Poco cant do any of the support for the apps and games on there own.

        He can simply remain with MIUI 14 and have no issues.

          Akame, 04 Feb 2024I would wait for more stable versions of HyperOS, currently... moreAll of that is the part the games need to optimize. Xiaomi can't do anything on that.
          Kind of weird to say that dont update cause games are not optimized and apps like discord or something dont have higher then 30hz (now that there is 120hz in discord)
          It's all the work of the apps developers who need to add the support and optimize.

          Sadly 7+ gen 2 is not made on other phones or tablets and the reason is probably from Qualcomm side why we dont see it on other phones then Realme GT Neo5 SE and Redmi note 12 Turbo/Poco F5

          From my point of view this chip is good and what SD 7 series should be already like and not like the rest of the 7 gen 1, 7s gen 2 and the like that perform maybe a bit better or a bit worse then these SD778/780/782 chips
          All these 7 Gen chips just look like rename with little tweaks like 6 years ago was SD625 that was in everything and they made SD636 that also didnt made it on a lot of devices but a lot more then this 7+ gen 2

            Akashi Seijuro, 03 Feb 2024Talking about Discord not being optimized for Snapdragon 7+... moreYou are right they recently added support for 120hz for the POCO F5 on Discord. Didnt notice because i was using Aliucord to unlock higher refresh rate.

                  Anybody from India with stable HyperOS update on Poco F5? Is it worth to upgrade now or wait for few more months?

                      See this user's opinion about typical Xiaomi phones color reproduction found in 13T page:

                      EUphotoguy > I don't get how biased and incompetent review we got from GSMA - they praised that camera, which is unfortunately one of the biggest let downs on this phone! Especially comparing to critic Pixel 8 pro got in that respect! Dear readers, don't believe a letter here - as you can even see in compare tool - this 13T is only tiny improvement from older phones, and LEICA collaboration did not fixed problem with horrible colours which were plaguing cheaper Xiaomi phones with very cold colours, or magenta if you go for vibrant. Colours are hideous and let's not lie here - Leica did nothing to make things better, but you have options to choose only "vibrant worse" or "flat worse" - but neither realistic or more warm. So unless you like to take too many pictures on manual mode, fiddling with WB, you can't get it right - for me a huge huge disappointment. Even comparing with full-resolution of cheap 108mp redmi phone could not make me find any difference. Comparing to older 50 mpx Realme phones - no difference. Comparing to old P30 Pro - Huawei is winning like on a huge huge margin! So dear Xiaomi engineers - how comes that at the end 2023 you create "cheap-flagship" phone which is inferior to Chinese flagship from 2019, currently sold on second-hand market in pristine conditions for 200 eur?
                      To finish it - this phone is great as a "package" but disaster as a photography tool - you will be better of with many older flagships and definitely if you pay 600 eur for this comparing to 650 eur for older Pixel 7 pro, you did a bad choice.

                        Gann, 02 Feb 2024From my personal experience, Snapdragon processor is more p... moreIf you are into serious photography you are not gonna use phones for it, or at least use a newer iphone that supports RAW. Xiaomi phones like 13T also have a strange color reproduction if you compare it to other brands. 13T was just slightly more expensive than the 12GB version of F5 at launch, now that stock has dried up, it is a tad overpriced like the A54. 13T is the better value buy anyway unless you need Snapdragon and faster SoC then Poco F5 is cheaper, faster and better battery life.

                          I just updated to 14.0.8 global and damn it drains too much battery compared to 14.0.7 the phone last a day with playing and everything but now with 14.0.8 just less than half a day please help if there's a solution

                            Akame, 02 Feb 2024thats not totally true for Snapdragon, this Snapdragon 7+ G... moreTalking about Discord not being optimized for Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, I have this Poco F5 exactly, and the app runs at full 120fps as I have observed from scrolling through chats and navigating through the app. So Idk what you meant by it not being exactly optimized, but if that's the case, then I must say that the optimization is incredible because it runs all of my apps very well for the most part for something that's not well-optimized, as you have said.

                            Regardless, optimizing this SoC is very easy, because it is the same exact CPU architecture as the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is used in several flagship devices, but only having weaker GPU for this one.

                                radwind, 29 Jan 202413T it is more expensive but if within your budget, get it ... moreFrom my personal experience, Snapdragon processor is more problem free and less hiccup overall from day to day usage (despite some generation that have that infamous overheat, but Dimensity processor overheat too), much less apps compatibility problem, also better WiFi 6/4G/5G/GPS reception. For me, if not really into serious photography, then F5 is the more than enough choice that overall balance on everything. 13T if really have the budget, and for serious photography, not a bad choice. All depend on personal decision, there are no perfect smartphone, but only long term user can tell the true pros and cons. Else, not a direct same specs per comparison, so the comparison is not fair. Everything else, it is depend on faith and luck.

F5 has Snapdragon but do you really need it? and for what purpose? if you know you need it it then you would not have considered 13T or other non SD SoC phones.
