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.

-just go with a popular custom rom then.
Kind of pointless to buy 1-2 years old phone to just install new OS on it first thing out of the box and then have the chance to lose warranty for the phone
-How long does the warranty last? Then install one after warranty expires.
-Doesn't seem like you've actually tried a custom rom. Try one first and then let us know.
