JN250, 27 Jan 2024Does this phone have fm radio?No, and I've been complaining about it for ages. I hope Xiaomi bring it back in the coming F6. There's FM radio in the X4 GT though, it's a good phone but with LCD panel. Different people view LCD differently, I personally have nothing against it. The colors are actually more vivid on LCD, but if I have to choose, I would rather go for an Amoled panel.

      I installed the Google Clock but alarms fail to go off and a notification appears that states 'Alarms are blocked in virtual reality'. Does anyone one now the cure for that?

        pl2rts, 14 Jan 2024If you want a better camera then 11T Pro. But when you want... moreX6 Pro has Virtual proximity sensing, that is an auto no in my book. I don't see how it is much better than F5, seems middling or almost just like it.

                Great phone! but not with MIUI or HyperOS

                Running custom ROM and im happy with it, no lags, no heating, awesome battery (about 10h SoT - without gaming, 5+ with)
                It feels so plastic, solved by back cover. audio from speaker is terrible. I dont care about camera.

                  Dont buy for game, 26 Jan 2024I bought after hearing this phone is good for gaming. But, ... moreJust so you know that for gaming not only hardware is important.
                  There is also your internet connection that needs to be stable so you wont have lags. Also internet connection lag can affect game sounds and some games are really sensitive for the internet connection where little lag can affect your gaming a lot.
                  Other things are that games need to have the phone supported for there game and optimized also.

                  Cause market dont have other then Redmi note 12 Turbo/Poco F5 and one Realme phone that have SD7+ Gen 2 chip then these things are more expected as less users who have this chip so they dont priortize for the support

                    Ezra 1326, 26 Jan 2024I need help cuz I'm having a hard time whether I shoul... moreThere is also Poco X6 Pro as an option that also have Dimensity but at least it is D8300U that performas better then F5 while is cheaper. Get more storage options and 3 OS updates while come out on Android 14. F5 come with Android 13 and should get only 2 OS updates.

                    13T is more expensive with better cameras then both of them and also have longer software support.

                    The over heating is probably coming from people who stress test the phone and wont happen for normal phone users.
                    Gaming long term would heat all the phones as never mind what it is snapdragon or dimensity or what ever other chip. Also when the phone will be on hyperOS then bootload unlock be a lot more difficult even for snapdragon chip to get custom android on the phone if that is a priority. Never mind that installing a new OS on a phone is dying trend as there are not a lot of phones left that have bootload unlockable

                      I bought after hearing this phone is good for gaming. But, after a month gaming performance reduced. Touch sensitivity is not working properly while playing. Doesn't give 90fps. Game booster is waste. Even a oppo phone give you a good gaming assistant feature but not this so called gaming phone. If you record while playing, the game sound delays for a second even if you use headphones so you can't hear enemy footsteps clearly.

                      Only good this is battery for gaming


                      DO NOT BUY IT by seeing good reviews like i did. Totally not worth for your money.

                        I need help cuz I'm having a hard time whether I should buy xiaomi 13t or poco f5. I want xiaomi for the camera but I've seen a lot of complain that the battery drains quickly and I don't want dimensity chipset. For poco f5, I really prefer the snapdragon chipset as it doesn't drain your battery that quick but the camera quality is a bit ugly for my liking. Help I'm really on edge rn.

                                    Let's start by saying that I have been a Xiaomi fan for the past 6 years, I started with the Redmi 4a then the Mi A3 which lasted about 2 years and 3 and half years before they gave me trouble, so I bought the Poco F5 expecting it to be a worthy device, But only 2 months in and the unexpected happens, I was on a 7 hour long car trip when the phone suddenly went into a boot loop,it kept restarting every 10 seconds from the MIUI logo, of course android auto was useless by then which was hell while traveling,so, I tried every trick there is to fix it but nothing worked, I had to wipe out all of my data so I can use it again, which was very inconvenient, I am very disappointed with this device and I can't wait to replace it with another one.

                                      pl2rts, 23 Jan 2024I made my update now and i get errors :D signin error for ... moreIt seems to be Mi account log in or something error. I never made a Mi account that i remember of as i already have google account so why bother to make Mi account if it not needed

                                        I made my update now and i get errors :D
                                        signin error for 8205237983
