OooooooooO, 02 Oct 2023How can I prevent apps from battery drain Open the Recents page and there you can close any individual app you are not using or all of them at the same time. Also, use the Boost speed app to free Ram and the Cleaner app daily to clean the cache of cookies etc.

It cant be cheap plastic if it survive all the stress test in youtube with flying colors.
Survived bend test better then some metal frame phones.
Why is it even a bad thing that it's a cheap plastic ? It holds cost down, is lighter and also . is sturdy. I would see this as a win win
More expensive glass is more fingerprint magnet and also fragile as when shattered then be ugly too

At my country F5 12GB cost 450 and 8GB 430 euro.
Also 8GB is rare as only 1 shop have it while 12 GB version each color have like 20 shops.
So now better to go for 12GB ram for sure. When i buy it 3 months ago the 12GB was 480 euro or one shop where i got my 8GB version had it on same time 460 euro when i got my 8GB for 410 euro. So seems like the 9GB if stay in box can get some collection value in 10 years if it still work as it seems there are not a lot of 8GB version that be sold in the market when the 12GB ram difference is only 20-30 euro

It is not meant to be the ultimate cameraphone, nor offer other fancy gimmicks. You can certainly find some better cameraphones in this price range, but those offer nowhere near the performance of the F5. And I consider the plastic frame and back to be a good thing, because it keeps the phone lightweight and it is also a personal preference. I wish it had an in-display fimgerprint reader, though.

JimmyTheGreatest, 30 Sep 2023ThanksThank You.
Tip for camera app:
Open camera app and scroll the menu bar across to 'More' and select 'Edit'
Hold and drag Long Exposure, Panorama, and 64MP icons up to the Start screen and press the tick at the top right of the screen ( you can always put them back afterwards if you wish).
Go back to camera app and select Long Exposure option and you can receive an update that improves the Night shot.
Then do the same with Panorama to receive an update for that.
If you select the 64MP option you now take photos in Ultra HD.

Kurokaze, 30 Sep 2023Updated to MIUI 14.0.7 TMRMIXM...Fckng update put bloatware... moreI had that also but the app didnt install any games or anything. It just was Game Center notifications that i needed to go and find the app to turn the notifications off for it.
Just open your drawer for apps and then find the Game Center app then turn off it's notifications by holding your finger on the app for some period of time then click on info and from there on you can find a way to turn it off.
