Anonymous, 23 Oct 2023Guess so, only reason I wanna get the poco f5 is because of... morepoco has ip53, realme has no official certification.
poco has gorilla glass 5, realme doesn't have any official rating.

poco has better ultrawide (120⁰), than realme (112⁰)

Even Xiaomi is relatively new in my country, only nerds and technically savvy people knew about it and imported it. Now they're readily available in many shops.

    I've been using Xiaomi phones for ages and I LOVE them. They're addictive in a way, mainly because of their raw power. Believe it or not, F3/X4 GT/F5 are even sexy and elegant actually... However, it's unwise to rely on a single brand/platform/OS/skin, it's like putting all your eggs in one basket. Diversity, in and by itself, increases safety/security.

    Sometimes I drop in phone shops in a mall nearby, just to check out and play a little with all the high-end flagships. I honestly don't understand why people think/feel those phones are so premium and why they're willing to pay twice as much to own them?? Ok, they get a few more pixels here and there, but so what... Isn't it better to just buy a decent camera instead, because you don't have to update/upgrade/charge it all the time, and it is way less susceptible to malware attack. You buy one good camera and you have it for the rest of your life. You don't have to buy a new one every two years, because the battery is replaceable.

    Xiaomi phones have become a little pricey recently, so I'm checking the phone market now and preparing for my next year's purchase. I don't care about brands and there are very good phones in the pipeline now. But due to my Xiaomi addiction, I might unfortunately end up buying the upcoming F6. I just hope Xiaomi bring back the FM radio and won't remove the 3.5mm jack from the future F-series, it's actually one of the main reasons why people chose the current F5. I use the 3.5mm jack to connect stereo speakers to my phone, very handy and functional, specially if you live in a small apartment.

    I have a feeling Xiaomi might put Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in F6, because the price of this powerful CPU will certainly drop by next year, specially now that more and more people are discovering Dimensity. Next year will be a bloodbath for phone manufacturers...

Totally unknown brands for me just like a lot more out there that have mostly low end specs or the lower end middle class like G99 or D810

          So, what exactly makes you think that they are that bad, do you have any negative experience with either?

              And that i cant judge the premium feel cause i never owned a flagship product to know what the premium feel is.

So you cannot quantify the premium in-hand feel, the premium materials, the aesthetics and flawless exterior design of a true flagship. I have and I know the difference.

                But I respect your opinion anyway. To each their own.

                  Give the 2 phones to a blind person who have very sensitive finger to ask is it feels premium on button clicking.

                  I dont make any difference on clicking buttons on S22 or F5 or Redmi note 5 Pro.
                  Operating F5 on screen is faster in some aps then even on luxury brands phones like Apple and you cant have more premium then apple.

                  How the phone looks is also weird example to give as it's based on taste and nothing to do with premium. You can also see eye candy designs on brands like Infinix or Tecno that both are trash brands.

                    RishiGuru, 29 Oct 2023Bro.. I think by 'premium feel' he meant the prem... moreI never hear people say premium feel for phones like Redmi note 5 Pro/AI that was fully aluminum body cause the phone cost like 170 euro only.

                    Also even now with the phones that have glass back and some metal frame but are in the budget to middle class price range

                    Have you seen people say Xiaomi Redmi 12 5G have a premium feel to it cause it has glass back but plastic frame ?

                    I dont even hear it for flagships.
                    It's always said on budget to middle class phones for a reason to say something bad.

                    For me F5 feels premium phone based on how it feels when i operate it.
                    My hands are not so sensitive to feel premium in materials. Is it plastic or metal or glass.
                    While i dont want glass phones that are fragile as that is not premium when it's fragile to use. It's also not and art that you have on your wall just for your eye candy or some statue behind a glass protected youst to see and not to touch

                    I have had metal body phone as my last phone was Redmi note 5 AI dual cam. Painted aluminum feels close to what plastic feels. Well actually plastic feels warmer then aluminum but then again it's not something that makes it premium in my mind. I also had Lumia 830 that was with plastic back and aluminum frame

                      The only matter for me is with the wallpaper on this phone..It auto zoomed in everytime (only at homescreen wallpaper, no issue for the lockscreen) and the color also auto dimmed..Please Poco, fix this, this is so frustrating.

Well not necessarily whether it's a flagship versus a midrange , it's just that you will know which one costs more. Not to mention the design too.

                          pl2rts, 29 Oct 2023Feeling premium is only placebo effect that comes with the ... moreBro.. I think by 'premium feel' he meant the premium in hand feel of a phone. In fact there are differences in feel when you hold a plastic phone and then switch to a glass sandwich design phone with a metal frame. Or a full metal built phone like the old Nokia 6.1. Even the similarly priced Motorola Edge 40 with metal frame and vegan leather back look and feels so premium to hold in comparison to my Poco F5.

                          Bank for buck and overall package for a phone is a different topic though.

                            Why you must wait F6 for 3.5 jack that going to be legacy
                            F5, could be the last F series that have 3.5 jack
                            In fact, this year phones that have 3.5 jack only F5 & zenfone 10

                              Pradeep Gree, 29 Oct 2023It feels like beast of all mid ranger, doesn't feel pr... moreFeeling premium is only placebo effect that comes with the higher price.
                              US reality tv made a test in public to people with this placebo effect.
                              There was 2 cakes on the table that both were made with same ingredients.
                              While one cake had a price tag of 5 dollars and other had 100 dollars.
                              People who taste test the cakes praised that the 100 dollar cake tastes divine as the best they have ever tasted and then the 5 dollar example tasted weird.

                              That just proved that higher price for product make you feel like it's more premium.

                              If they would test people with Samsung phones like give them S22 and tag it to be like something budget range with the price too and then other be like S23 Ultra with that 4 digits price tag then that S22 would also feel like trash on there hands with no premium feel to it Even worse would be that S22 when they would rename it to some random Chinese brand and then it would lose even more premium feel to it

                                It feels like beast of all mid ranger, doesn't feel premium put it gives that performance of flagship phone. 💪

                                        Anonymous, 18 Oct 2023Imagine buying a phone with no card slot Lmfao dummiesA phone manufacturer can sell you a phone with 128Gb of memory for say $500, but sell you the same phone with 256Gb memory for $600, or a 512Gb version for $800. Now, what is the best option for the manufacturer? To sell you a 128Gb phone for $500 with a SD card slot or sell you a 512Gb version for $800? THAT is why all phone manufacturers have phased out SD card slots.
