Polantana, 17 Aug 2023Guys, is there a big difference between 8 and 12GB Poco reg... moreAlso what about battery draining ? Why should 12GB drain more then 8GB ?
12GB RAM drain more battery when you have more apps open and loading on the background so there for yeah it drains battery more but wont that be like obvious ?
With 8GB RAM you cant open up so many apps as with 12GB version
I dont multitask on phone and i never have more then 1 app open.
I dont even leave my last browser tab open when i close the browser app.

Polantana, 17 Aug 2023Guys, is there a big difference between 8 and 12GB Poco reg... moreI have 8GB version and when i bought the phone i was thinking to get the 12GB version as it didnt cost that much more but still i went with the 8GB version as i dont play much games and especially the games that need good performance out of the phone.
Now i think that 12GB would of been better cause when we now look new phones coming out there be like 8GB ram as standard or something while also have 16GB and 24GB options.
Seems like the software optimization gets so lazy that they just dont care if the brands give them so much ram to play with.
But still i dont think that even for next 5 years you need more then 8GB ram as still the majority of market is like 4-6GB ram when you look the phones that cost like 150 euro to 450 euro that is the majority of world market phones and also there performance that is maybe half of what you get with 7+ Gen 2
So if you doubt then probably best to go with 12GB version and then dont need to think what if

stoon, 09 May 2023indeed, 1440p displays consume more power and heat quicklyI just bought it 3 weeks ago, it works awesome, with heavy use of insta, Netflix, BGMI and shadow fight 4 also it doesn't heat much and battery also lasts long(around 1 day) considering its only 5000MAh. I was using Samsung M51 before this and it had battery of 7000MAh so you can imagine where I am coming from.... so far so good, camera also seems good, except for night mode as mentioned in GSMarena's review but overall, its good!

Guys, is there a big difference between 8 and 12GB Poco regarding the battery draining? Does anybody have experience about that? I am still calculating between 8 and 12GB. Please give me some advice.

Danish07, 14 Aug 2023Good phone with low end processor This kind of guy who doesn't know anything about SOC shoud keep his mouth shut. Till this time the best soc of snd is Snd 8+ gen 2 , 8 + gen 1 , 7 + gen 2 and upcoming 8 + gen 3. The rest of it just don't worth for the price to performance ratio or just gimmicks. Even samsung OS getting worse lately. I've S21 Ultra , Iphone 13 pro max , Realme GT Neo 2 , Poco F5. IOS and Android cannot be compared so between samsung, realme , poco , i find it rather interesting having xiaomi brand, you can even disable the 0 page in homescreen which is cannot be disabled in samsung and oppo. Camera is just something extra for me , like you don't even use the camera everyday every single time so i don't really thing that matter as long i can take pictures and video just fine as how it should.

hmm, 10 Aug 2023I have not got any updates other then the security update 2... moreSo 6 days after i made this post i got the 14.0.6.0 now and soon should be MIUI 15 with android 14 as the first patch of updates for Xiaomi phones including redmi and poco.
And it's depending the region your phone have or something on the lines to vary the times when get the updates so few weeks and not a month or something.
I will wait before update anyways for a month or something to know if there are issues and needs patch or something. Better safe then sorry or going slow and make it

Evandrus, 11 Aug 2023i’m a bit worried about miui, we all know one ui is so much... moreOneUI has been getting worse and worse every year since OneUI 3, especially on Samsung's midrange and budget offerings.
Ironically, MIUI is getting more usable and stable every year, and from my own experience, MIUI 14 runs perfectly fine.

Danish07, 14 Aug 2023Good phone with low end processor This comment is about as wrong as they get. The phone's literal highlight is its performance. Seriously, read, people.

Rashed, 16 Aug 2023Planning on buying the F5, coming from the x3 pro. Are ther... moreYou have X3 Pro and ask the questions. Is your x3 Pro have these issues you asking for ???
If your X3 Pro dont have the issues then you should have the proof and answers you asking for. as the X3 Pro is the phone that had the motherboard issues and it was only in India market. Also if you have the X3 Pro and dont have issues with it then why do you believe there be issues with newer models ? I dont know any of the problems ever have been on Poco F series. Also X3 Pro was like 240 euro phone when it was new so it was crazy cheap at the time 2 years ago.
Also my comment to you probably useless cause you probably wont read anyways as there are over 40 pages of comments and you didnt go trough any of them to see this question asked multiple times. Never mind that it takes like half a year time before it be widely known that there are issues on any new phone from any brand.

Anonymous, 15 Aug 2023That is when you go with the popular custom rom you probabl... moreMy first try was with Asus Nexus 7 2013 7inch tablet that ended with kitkat 4.4 something and i went with custom os for it and ended around 6 or 7 as when i stopped using it.
My last phone as redmi note 5 ai dual cam i got only 18 months of updates of any kind but that phone cost only 170 euro so that was good enough. I had like 5 years in use so 3.5 years after last update i was on android 9 and there is no difference in your daily dealings on my phone to notice any difference. In the end of the day it's just a number as it does not mean apps lose support on them. Before Android 16 i wont care about custom OS as F5 should end like Android 15 and warranty in Europe is 2 years mandatory for electronics
As then be good time to update your phone to a new OS skin and the phone feels like new again as a lot to discover.

Does this phone have 'hitting' issue? I have heard that when you touch the phone, it hits you back with tremendous force as if its alive.

You go with it, then you're stuck with its spyware.
Even suppose you can use adb to debloat it, you still won't be able to remove the entire spy code in it.
So basically your suggestion is Pay more and Get less, that's very smart.
