Bought 2 months back in India. Few dead pixels apperared . Cam is just 3/10 . Avoid.

    hopefully it'll come down around 260USD (21K INR), for that price it is incredible value for money (motherboard issues aren't present in f series, and yeah, some x3 pro has it but not every x3 pro)

However, we are almost halfway between the release of the F5 and the release of the F6 (if they keep the same schedule). So, if you can wait a few more months, you might get an even better performer (possibly, 1220p screen and longer software support, a better camera).

The symbol is there on ALL electronic equipment (even light bulbs and data cables!) regardless of the presence of a battery and is for the consumers’ information, letting them know that the item in question must be disposed of at a specialized waste disposal spot, instead of the trash bin.

                        What did you use while peeling it off other than your nail?

                        I hate that sticky, disgusting and ugly glue that remains behind after the peeling. It's the only reason why I haven't removed the sticker yet and I don't know what to do about it. I'm definitely not going to leave my home with a phone that reveals it's IMEI.

                          Do you genuinely think the staff who work at recycling centers are stupid? They work in a highly hazardous environment, a sticker on a phone doesn't add/subtract anything to the precautions they have to constantly take while dismantling products that could potentially become a hand grenade. To rely on a sticker is a death wish!

The sticker has to be on the outside of the phone to let recycling plants know that the object contains a battery which could explode if it is crushed. The recycling plant is then aware of the danger without spending time taking the phone to pieces to find out.
                                If you decide to recycle the product then all you have to do is reapply the sticker you kept in the box before disposing of it.

                                  JimmyTheGreatest, 03 Oct 2023I live in the EU and I'm acutely aware of the law. ... moreI dont know much about the law too but i dont think the IMEI sticker needs to stay on the phone even when you send it to warranty. It be ok if it is in the box.
                                  Also you just need the check to proof the date you buy the phone and that be all for warranty.

                                  I have went to warranty with one of my phones.

                                  Also i think it's annoying that they stick a sticker on the phone and then have this clue on it that will stick or leave behind paper as when you take the sticker off by aggressively.

                                  I had some clue left on my phone when i got the sticker off.
                                  Also IMEI code on the sticker would wear away if you left it on the phone and when you dont use the case on the phone. The tint would wear off by wear and tear.

                                  Stickers that are for warranty are usually inside the product. Like laptops have them so the warranty repair can see that there was once done some repair for the device that is not official so it's by user and then the warranty is not valid anymore.

                                  But when the sticker is on the case then removing it wont do anything.
                                  It needs to be inside the phone and not outside of the phone.

                                    Tip of the Day:
                                    Go to Settings>Additional settings>Gesture shortcuts>Back Tap.
                                    Now you have options for Double tapping or Triple tapping the back of the phone for quick shortcuts.
                                    I set Double tap to launch the camera and Triple Tap to Silent Mode but there are other options available.

                                        Disposing of electronics with household trash is both illegal and punishable in my country. We are not allowed to throw even a banana skin in the "normal" bin, let alone a battery. (I'm not joking).

                                        What I was trying to convey in my previous comment was that Xiaomi had no good reason to attach the picture of a garbage bin on such a prominent place of the phone, and in such a visible way. To some people, this might catch attention in a negative way, irrespective of the EU Law. One can always convey info in a more discrete way. Idiots who decide to break the EU Law, won't be stopped by a picture of a garbage bin on a sticker from Xiaomi.

                                        I know almost nothing about the law. But from the little I know, in order to keep a product "intact", the label/sticker must remain on its original "place". If you buy a product in my country, and decide to return it for whatever reason, the shop won't take it back if the sticker/label/tag were removed/displaced.

                                        You can of course displace the label that comes with the Poco F5, but what will happen with the warranty then? Displacing a label back and forth is a little risky, it might change its shape and form, that could potentially render the warranty invalid.

                                        You suggested to stick the label on the inside of the box. How come Xiaomi stuck it on the phone itself?? They could have EASILY printed it on the box and saved some money actually. Again, I'm not an expert in law.
