And if you look for the Realme GT Neo SE that is missing 4G band of B20 if your country need it or not i dont know but that is needed in Europe.
You have a option to get Redmi Note 12 Turbo that is same as Poco F5 but with 2 more options as 12GB ram and 512GB storage and 16GB RAM and 1TB storage version
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12187&idPhone2=12181
Also you probably wont make any difference in 144hz over 120hz screen and you need 120fps for the 120hz to work so for 144hz you need 144fps while most games are capped at either 30 or 60fps. So basically you get less fps with that 144hz and larger screen resolution in games then you get with the Redmi note 12 Turbo or Poco F5
Also i dont think there be more parts for repair cause is officially release in your location but it be a lot easier to repair cause you dont need to ship your phone to over seas.
If you live in Europe then you get 2 years of warranty that you wont get with the Realme and Redmi note 12 Turbo and also with both you dont have B20 band for 4G that is important for internet in cities in Europe

But vendors overseas are selling the Realme GT Neo 5SE (7+gen2,better battery,charging speed,display and it's 144hz. But no headphone jack)
Quite couldn't figure it out between the two, will lean towards poco f5 because there's no parts available for repair because it's officially released in here

If the phone purchased with people's hard money gets damaged, dated or has problems through an update.
So what is the need to buy a phone?
Most of the companies are taking money out of the pockets of the helpless people with their scams called updates.
So I have a small advice or request to them.
A phone company spends a lot of time building its reputation. But some weak points of that company are enough to destroy it. So if you don't come back from this place called update, there were many reputed mobile companies in the world who are lost today or maybe we will see you one day in their ranks which we never expect. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present my valuable speech to you.

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

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.
