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.

      Link for whats different in EU vs global that is not related to poco tough

        Does anyone encounter any problem after updating to version V14.0.7.0? I don't wanna update just to get bugs. This would my first update since buying this phone. Any issue on the battery or performance?

            The EU in TMREUXM shows that is the European ROM.
            The MI in TMRMIXM shows that it is the Chinese ROM.

                My Poco F5 was shipped from Hong Kong with EU global MIUI version.

                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

                  Nikojas, 20 Oct 2023Any F5 owners here? What’s the latest security patch and ha... moreBelow is the latest software version on my Poco F5 (India):
                  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.

                    JohnnyBoy, 20 Oct 2023So you say the camera is decent enough if you know how to u... moreBasically the pictures are not bad but yes if you have a little creativity or willingness to learn a little about photography you can get pretty good pictures.For example here in the test they pulled down the selfie camera I was a little afraid of how it would be but it's not bad at all.I mean I usually do a little post-processing on the pictures but if the pictures were shit the post-processing wouldn't help much.By the way I use the factory camera app and google camera too.

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

Imagine being so dumb that complain about microSD card slot like that is an issue when you can transfer your files trough internet or trough cable or just on to a usb stick.

                                    Removing the microSD card all the time would be a lot more hassle then doing something like that. Never mind that the phone have 256GB storage that is more then enough for majority of people who buy this phone. MicroSD card made sense for phone that had like up to 64GB storage on the phone but all over that just makes no sense

                                        I would think that you have not and the problem is most likely the filter that is holding the phone rather then the phone it's self or the carrier.

                                        My phone dont have these issues. Is GSMA your only tech site to visit ? I usually first look the problem by searching the issue from google or the like search engines. Or go to reddit or to miui forums to see if other experience the same issue.

                                        What will it accomplish to complain about it in here where you probably dont get the help you need
