Anonymous, 18 Sep 2023hey guys, can you tell me about the cons of this phone and ... moreLook the F5 up from a site kimovil and in there are people in all languages commenting pros and cons and you can press translate on each comment

All these pros and cons are same for each phone and brand comments where people have diverse view points of cons and pros to each brand phones comments.
Search videos of the phone from youtube to see there advertising point of view of pros and cons. You can also search the phone name and cons for videos where they talk about them that is when the con really is a con for the phone.

In the end of the day it's what you want from the phone.
I wanted performance even tough i dont play games a lot but i need performance.
Also i wanted to have 3.5mm jack for sure cause i have something 10 years old wired headphones i have used with my previous phones.
Also i wanted AMOLED screen cause i have never had one for anything so for experience sake i needed it.

I have all of that from this F5 8GB RAM 256GB Storage phone
There is also 5GB virtual storage RAM but i have it turned off. If it helps in any way for performance then maybe after 4-5 years i can turn it on.
Camera is good middle class camera and well i dont do much pictures at all ever.
I use it more as a tool for magnification glass to read small text or something.

So you just need to understand what is your budget and what you desire to have on your next phone. F5 is a good choice if camera is not a priority and want performance for games that last you for 5 to 10 years then Poco F5 is for you
All phones have pros and cons but for 400 euro phone you cant expect it to have all the bling as they need to cut the cost on a lot of things so you can have the flagship performance on middle class priced phone

    As for screen and speaker quality, those are subjective opinions, so you should test it out for yourself.

          Does software updates + quality differ from the global and Indian version ?

            I am thinking buying this phone the global version is it a good phone in terms of screen speaker quality i like quality speakers rather than loud and last but not least software is it laggy ? Does it suck ?

                                  dobroslav, 15 Sep 2023Someone asked earlier if the Poco F5 has a call recorder. I... moreMIUI (international version) uses the default Google dialer, which, unfortunately, does not have a recorder function. From what I know, it’s because it is illegal in some countries to record conversations. So Google decided to just remove the call recording function for ALL countries/regions.

                                  The only solution, until Google does the right thing and enable call recording, is to download a dialer application which supports such a feature.

                                    Someone asked earlier if the Poco F5 has a call recorder. I thought it was a joke. I bought the F5 ten days ago and it didn't have a call recorder in the stock dialer. I was shocked. Stock rom 14.0.8.0 TRMEUXM. I do not know what to do. This is a big minus.

I don’t think I’ve even taken 10 pictures with such cameras in the last 3 years, so I don’t understand what the big deal is. I’d rather have a top notch main camera and mediocre quality on the rest.
