I dont know much about custom roms and lately as much i have heard someone talk about them is that you basically can get android version updates but not security updates.

Also i dont know how far Poco F5 will update support as in the past these been like 2 OS updates. Will it change with the F5 in HyperOS and get to like Android 16-17 or end with the 15 and get just one more year of security updates and it be the end. There is no info on that or any talks about it. Based on hardware there should not be any limits to update 3-4 years of OS and 4-5 years of security.

Also app support in android stay long also as even now most games and apps are supported from Android 8 so in next 5 years maybe it be on something like 10-11 so with this phone you wont lose to any app or anything for next 10 years.

For me android update is more of a the joy of the version number change and that be it. I wont know the new features added to it or even if i know then probably wont use it anyways.

F1 was great with SD845 then F2 was update on screen, popup selfie cam and SD865 and some other things also. Then F3 come with 870 and then F4 same with 870 and then F5 a serious upgrade. So who knows what F6 will be as it's still too soon to speculate when it's still like half a year before it be released. Also when Redmi note series is released 2 times a year then the first one as in winter/spring will be a major update and then the second model is like facelift with some minor updates on the phone later in a year like September/October.

    Looking that SD made like mistake for middle class to have 7+ Gen 2 that is like 8+ Gen 1 i would say that they should have all 7 gen newer to be around same or better like go up to 1.5M in Antutu v10 to make sense for top end middle class chip when flagships are already over 2M points.

    SD 778 performance would make sense to be budget range too cause of the fast leap of 1M points with the flagship in just 1 year. But still budget is around 200k-400k as of now

        Even something like poco X3 / NFC still holds up to today's standard (unless you play one of these bloated games).
        Other than that, they may be a few insignificant up/down grades, which to me worthless most of the time.

          Most of the time, main stream opinion is rigged, and I hate it when others tries to push their opinion onto others.

The F5 is based on the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, which was announced in march. I expect that Qualcomm will release a PROPER successor to the S7+G2 around the time the Redmi Note 13 Turbo gets announced. Right now, indeed, the Dimensity 8300 blows the S7+G2 out of the water, which is why I think that Qualcomm will want to fix this sooner rather than later.

                However, the throttling issue was clearly laid out in GSMArena's review of it, which is why I think GSMArena is on average the best place to check a phones performance.

                Don't listen to the bigger YouTubers/influencers. They're paid to review it, and if they say bad things about the product, they will be put on a blacklist and not get any future review copies. They are advertisers first, reviewers second.
                They usually run AnTuTu and Geekbench once and say it's "incredible performance!". They rarely do any tests that shows sustained performance unless it shows favorable performance, so if they don't show them, think twice. Running the CPU Throttling Test is probably the easiest and best way to show a phones sustained performance/cooling, so there's no excuse to not show it especially on a flagship SoC and/or gaming phone.

                                      Guys the phone heats up 🔥🔥 during normal usage! No gaming just browsing and WhatsApp (no video calls or voice calls). Reviewers somehow didn't notice it smh. Serves me right for trusting those guys. PHONE GETS WARM. Search on Google for reddit posts about it, users say that's just normal Poco stuff lmao. It's my first poco and now I have to get used to this bs. It's bearable but it shouldn't happen at all unless you're gaming or doing something heavy for sustained periods of time not just browsing. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. My old LG v35 didn't heat up like this with same usage and conditions.
