            Antenna is terrible compared to my older Xiaomi. I have more lag, my internet stops in tunnels where as my older one could maintain it. This gets overseen and not tested, so could be something they save money on?

              Keep on MIUI 14.0.8.0 or update to HyperOS 1.0.6.0? I just bought the F5, I've been looking at the posts since January and there are a lot of complaints about the battery life of version 14.0.8

                  Had my F5 just over a year, still running pretty well. Just one problem started recently, NFC has stopped working, does anyone know a fix?

                    I have an issue where I got notified late when I received a new message on Whatsapp. No popups either. I think it's a bug from the new update cause I've never had this issue.

For real, we no need so many OS version, just like Windows OS, we just need a stable OS with patches. Yes, unlike Windows, you cannot install IOS and Android on any smartphone directly, because there is no standardized hardware and IOS and Android is still growing to become a stable OS like Windows. Suppose consumer should not involve with this war, but thats it, even the war happen on Android camp where each brand is customizing very deep on Android OS just suited for their smartphone taste.

                        The dumb system to make people upgrade to new phones cause the apps lose support with old android version even tough phones hardware is good enough to last over 10 years

                        I also have this phone and have no issues and it was very worth buying it a year ago on release week. I would not buy it today cause it's over year old and cause it will have only 1 OS update left. I would go with X6 Pro for now as it has 3 OS updates coming and will end on Android 17. Even tough there are rumors that it heats up but i dont know the conditions on where it happens. Being under direct sun all phones heat up or when you play games and have charger behind the phone then the phone will heat up more. Heavy tasks make heat on every phone if you go to the limits so i dont know what people complain about that.

                        Same with battery life. for me my 8/256GB F5 last 5 days without charging but i am not using the phone a lot too. Reading for hours comics trough it then the phone wont heat up at all. I dont play games on a phone so i dont know the heating issues or battery lasting.

                        Even this site battery test are bogus cause they do other tests probably on the same time when they get like 24 hours less time on stand by then i get with my phone

                            Snapzilla, 10 Jul 2024Does this one heat more or less than x6 pro? Which one wou... moreIf performance dont matter for you as you wont be playing games then why you look for the X6 Pro ? Go with the X6 that have 3.5mm jack for headphones as for the music is better with wired that you dont need to worry that your wireless battery will deplete out of the blue.

                            Also there is no point to go with F5 now when it has only 1 OS update left. X6, X6 Pro and F6 will have 3 OS updates and 4 years of security. X6 is under 300 euro and is with SD 7s gen 2 that is enough for social media and all you do with the phone. Cameras should also be ok even tough should not expect something great from cameras in Poco series that first priority is performance

                              Mlem, 15 Jul 2024Is this still worth it?I believe it is, yes. Its Android version update cycle will end with Android 15, but changes in Android version updates have become marginal anyway, so having a very fast phone with all the other benefits it has (read the GSMarena review) seems like a good option. Especially now that its price has gone down significantly. Personally, I don't have a single issue or problem with this phone, and I consider myself an advanced user.

                                  You can go for F6 as well but it only has 1 year warranty.

The global one POCO F5 that is pre-installed Google Play or GMS has no issue so far. By last year end, could probably get one unit by just $200, nothing beat the value offered by this smartphone.

Security updates dont really matter either, unless the last patch was a year ago, because that might break banking apps.
