2. Yes
3. It'll still heat up and throttle even without a case, if you play heavy games, like most passively cooled phones.

    Anonymous, 22 Oct 2023Hi, if anyone here owns the Poco F5 can you please ask thes... more1- there is no issues on gaming and performance and to even ask about MIUI shows your listen to trolls and believe the trolls over truth and facts.

    2- Why not open up a youtube and look the reviews in there that shows it's smooth cause it has really good performance that makes it smooth even if the trolls you believe say the MIUI is trash.

    3- I cant answer to this as you got to have common sense to understand the answer as you dont have much of it when you already ask something like that

You claim that the security level update on your phone is newer than the one on mine by a month. What that really means is that you had to wait an extra month for the update that I enjoyed a month earlier!

          Hi, if anyone here owns the Poco F5 can you please ask these questions?
          1. Is MIUI good for gaming and daily usage
          2. Is it smooth? Like the UI,not "gaming" smooth
          3. How is the heat with a case on? And does it throttle?

I bought the phone from a local mobile phone repair shop that ordered it from Hong Kong. It's what they told me. And my MIUI is global version and not EU version. My country have Xiaomi shop but it's still pretty new and the phone at that time was like 30 euro more expensive when i bought it.

            Also seems like MIUI global version is better then EU version cause it has one month newer security update then the EU version have.

              Hong Kong is part of CHINA, so if, as you yourself claim, you have purchased a Poco F5 from HK then it must be a fake or a rebadged Note 12 Turbo, hence the Chinese ROM.

                Model: 23049PCD8G
                Android version: 13 TKQ1.221114.001
                MIUI version: MIUI Global 14.0.8.0(TMREUXM)
                Android security update 2030-08-01
                If those specs match those on your phone exactly then you have the official EU model, if they don't then it is not.

                          The EU in TMREUXM shows that is the European ROM.

                              So weird that different regions in EU even have different MIUI version and also security updates too. You have 1 month older security update then i have

                                Model: 23049PCD8I
                                Android Version: 13 TKQ1.221114.001
                                Android security patch level: 01-Aug-2023
                                MIUI Global Version: 14.0.5.0 (TMRINXM)

                                I will again repeat for the price (₹20.5K/ $246/ €233) I paid for my F5 (8/256 GB variant) in my country, it has one of the best if not the best set of cameras in the price segment. And I say this after comparing with my Realme 9 Pro+ which comes with perhaps the best rear camera (Sony IMX766 sensor, OIS, 6P Lens) in this under $250 segment. Of course the 9 Pro+ is better than F5, but the difference is not huge in daylight photography.

                                And we all know Poco's main focus had always been on performance and not on photography. So much so that F5 is the only phone in India which comes with this Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen2. This is very rare and the reason is Qualcomm is charging quite a lot for this SoC. If I compare this with my more camera centric alternative 9 Pro+, it has Mediatek Dimensity 920. It seems we cannot have best of both worlds under $250.

                                    llllllllllllllllll, 19 Oct 2023Is there any solution to shitty screen shot quality 🥲Use some other app to take screenshot, like 'screenshot touch'.
