GloriousSLB, 18 Oct 2023That price only made in India right? Not in Europe for sure ..Yeah, India price only. During this time (prior Diwali festival) the biggest online sale goes live. Two of the biggest players: Flipkart (owned by Walmart) amd Amazon India duel among themselves in a price war and ultimately we consumers gets benefited.
One such downright ludicrous offer from Flipkart this year was on Poco F5. I got the 8/256GB variant of F5 for ₹20.5K/ $246/ €233 without any exchange. For this price it is an unbeatable phone. Nothing can come close to it. Even its somewhat ordinary camera becomes one of the best in this segment at this price point. On other aspects no-one can compete with F5 for this price. Very satisfied with this phone.

Luna, 18 Oct 2023For everyone here who's already bought the phone, how&... moreXiaomi made major changes after they had the motherboard issue with the X3 Pro.
So far we have not seen these issues in X4 and X5 series while F series never had the motherboard issues in the first place.
I have used the Poco F5 for around 4 months now and i have the 8GB RAM version while i cant complain on anything with it. There are some annoying issues i have with some apps but that seems to be more of the Android issue then MIUI as these issues are with other brand phones too like no notification for messenger app that gets either delayed notification or not at all.
Also in this 4 months i have got already 3 updates for security patch so on that front i cant also complain cause with my last phone i got only 1 OS update and like 3-4 security updates and it was Redmi Note 5 AI
At this price point i dont think you can get anything better.
If you would look for Poco F5 Pro then i would recommend to go with Samsung S22 that have better cameras and more compact size as the price is close to same

Luna, 18 Oct 2023For everyone here who's already bought the phone, how&... moreI think you're good to go for Poco F5 . Regarding motherboard issues it's all about X series manufactured in India . Seek for China product , it's better . In my opinion as a few days user , poco F5 is one of the best mid-range on market but nevertheless I 'm not pleased with 2 particular features , plastic construction and Xiaomi skin over the Android . Xiaomi software is too much restrictive and aggresive with 3.rd party apks , it's a nightmare to debloat and set a personalized using mode . Cameras are average , sound is awesome , battery is great , radio modem is also good , the panel is outstanding , fingerprint is quick and reliable and not at the least memory is very fast. User experience for me is quite fine due fluid tranzitions and lack of any delays or freeze .
Regarding also the range price and these characteristics , Poco F5 was the best option for me .

For everyone here who's already bought the phone, how's your experience with it? how long have you used the phone? I am still looking for a new phone right now because my last phone, poco x3 pro died three days ago. My friends recommend me to check out poco f5, it's a great phone they said. I am still reluctant about poco releases because of the problem (motherboard problem) i encountered in my last x3 pro and i don't similar experience happen to me with the poco f5. Any info or updates regarding this phone is fine, I already search in several forums and there are some conflicting review about the phone.

ThePit, 17 Oct 2023The poco f5 and you are the cameras are very underestimated... morePoco phones have always being for performance so you get flagship performance for budget middle class price. That means they need to cut corner to get cost down and camera would be the first place where to get the price down.
Never mind that you cant even get top camera phones on the 400 euro price range. And it wont be top end camera on a phones that are like 2-3 years old and now are priced at 400 euro range.
This phone has good middle class camera on it. People say Samsung A54 have better camera but they have heavy filters that give brightness and contrast to the pictures so it's more like user preference on that do they like the filtered photoes or dont
