-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.

Danish07, 14 Aug 2023Good phone with low end processor From Snapdragon there is only 3 chips as 8+gen1, 8gen2 and soon to be released 8gen3 that is better then this 7+gen2 and your talking about low end chip. In what universe you live in or what mushrooms your eating so much to mess with your head ?

Bubbleir, 11 Aug 2023Depends on your needs. If you need good cameras and basical... moreBad advice.
If you are serious about photos, go with REAL CAMERA and learn to work on photoshop.
F5 is not only good for games; however, good overall as for a phone.
And if you want anything processional, get a computer.

aBaDy94, 11 Aug 2023Poco F5 is better option as the Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 2 is ... moreProcessor power is really subjective as most average users won't notice much anyways.
But what it matters to me is availability of custom roms, hands down to snapdragon.

SD870 in Antutu v9 around 700k
7+ Gen 2 in Antutu v9 around 930k
Also kind of pointless to buy F4 now when it's already over year old and wont have much updates left as we know that from China brands there is not a lot of hope to get a lot of updates if updates are important for you.
Also F5 have 3.5mm jack that the F4 dont have. F5 is a bit smaller and lighter then F4 and have a bit larger battery then F4

Tsukasa, 11 Aug 2023Oh, I use Redmi 5 Plus and Poco X3 Pro. This morning I just... moreI tough you had other phones then Redmi 5 Plus and X3 Pro as you said in your comment that you previously mentioned.
If you previously have mentioned in a comments that would make sense in that case but from your post as you wrote i got it that you had some other phones then x3 pro and redmi 5 plus.
I would think there is nothing much difference from OS of x3 pro to F5 as both run on same Poco MIUI that should be the stripped version of MIUI or at least that was how they advertised the Pocophone F1 back in the day they release it 5 years ago.
I would recommend this F5 as it's best you can get for that price if you are in to gaming and play heavy games. For other reasons like browsing the internet and calls you dont really need better then something like Poco M6 5G
F5 also have decent camera for middle class phone. Comparing it with other phones like Galaxy A54 that have it's camera with filters that make the picture more brighter or more contrast then thats more of a user preference. I dont much care for camera as the amount of pictures i make or what quality i look for then even my last Redmi note 5 ai dual cam did the job well and i were satisfied with it. Well yeah i would of wanted the camera had the slow motion feature like 960fps for some fun and as it only have 240fps was a bit let down but then again not a big deal. To be honest i dont understand the point of 240fps as it's not slow enough to make sense to even have it

This morning I just woke up from sleep so maybe those who read my comment are a bit confused. My Redmi 5 Plus is dead and can't be turned on again for no reason and my Poco X3 Pro has been bootlooping non-stop for the past 5 months.

Evandrus, 11 Aug 2023i’m a bit worried about miui, we all know one ui is so much... moreWe all know people talk a lot.
I have no personal experience with any specific os skin.
What makes one ui better or worse is beyond me. Why is MIUI bad is also something i dont understand.
People keep on talking that it's bad for some reason but never elaborate on that why and what exactly is bad.
I dont make much of a difference in any Android phone as all new things take time to get use to them. With all new phones going with new OS will not be good experience the first few weeks or months. Especially when you are with one phone for 5 years and miss out on 4 android updates. I had Android 9 and something MIUI 12 like for 3 and half years and now i have android 13 and miui 14. There are lots of new things i didnt have before and well it's mostly cause it's a new phone that also have lots of new features and a lot more powerful. Going from 130k antutu v9 bench score phone to a 930k bench score should have something to do with that.
All skins have there own flaws and good points and to say one is better then other is totally personal. Some just hate everything Xiaomi makes for what ever reason behind it.
And to say it as all know that oneui is better then miui is only the biggest nerds in the market who have like 10 different phones a month
