If that has the better camera and you get 2 pixel better quality with it.

Wanting to get a flagship best of the market camera on a phone and then look at the 400 price range. I would suggest you print a new brain for your self that actually works

I've also tried debloating all of the stuff and it's still the same. Still the best value for money for performance but it's not without its rather large flaws software wise.

    Thanks though!

      Maybe you can pinpoint what's causing the sounds.

        What you suggest and why? Poco F5 12/256 or used Realme GT 2 Pro?? The camera on Poco F5 is below average to be honest, overall power Poco is better but I'm very confused, what someone suggest in the 400$ range??

            I have with me poco f5 for the last 3 months. I have had issues like whatsApp videos not been able to fast forward or reverse. One had to watch the full video and couldn't skim through it. After lot's of interaction with WhatsApp team & poco f5 team it was decided that the software of miui may need to be reinstalled, but I would loose all data. Fortunately after a month an upgrade to the software came on the mobile and the problem was resolved. Now for last one month some woosh sound comes from the mobile at any given time 5/6 times in a day. I have virtually tried everything from switching off notifications but been unable to pin it to any single thing. Apart from these issues so far the mobile processor is good, camera is good, they could have given more functions to it, sound is quite loud but a bit shrill.

              Anonymous, 20 Aug 2023Anybody have vibrations from back of phone when playing sound?That is not an issue because phones with dual stero speakers have a channel from the top to bottom usually for audio balance and premium phones manages it's speakers properly so it's not needed but in mid range it is used
              That what causes the vibration

                hmm, 21 Aug 2023I dont think it's the screen hz issue on your battery ... moreNope. Changing it to 60Hz reduced the heating and drain, I tried it and it doubled my battery life. I only use the 120Hz when a game supports a high refresh rate now. the 120 Hz activates both in Browser and FB so changing it to 60Hz really helped. Video Recording at the Highest Settings for several minutes does heat it up (like every phone ever). You can confirm it with the monitor tools inside the phone and a thermal monitoring device. What's good about is the temperature difference internally and externally isn't as high due to it's large cooling system unlike other phones which have high internal temperature and low outside temperature.

                  Hello
                  I need help. Last Saturday I had my POCO F5 film my drive home, but at the end of the trip it only made a video of about two and a half minutes and I wanted to have the complete video of the trip about 20 minutes. is there any setting to shoot as long as i want?

                    Kurokaze, 20 Aug 2023I don't know about the 8GB but the battery on my 12GB ... moreI dont think it's the screen hz issue on your battery draining issue.
                    It's probably your screen addiction issue why your battery drains a lot.

                    Also why the heck you need a phone cooler for video recording ?
                    I cant imagine what does the phone do on just video recording on high res or what ever.

                    Gaming is different as the game is software that needs to create texture that you can see on the screen and do it in high frames per second rate. Also games use internet so the modem needs to work more. There are lots of things that take more power on games to make heat then there is for filming something.

                                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.

Even the heaviest games like Genshin Impact and Tower of Fantasy don't lag on it but it does get toasty.

                                      Polantana, 17 Aug 2023Guys, is there a big difference between 8 and 12GB Poco reg... moreI don't know about the 8GB but the battery on my 12GB Poco F5 does drain fast even just scrolling through the net. I assume it's because of the 120Hz Refresh rate Screen. I set it back to 60 Hz although the 120 Hz refresh rate was really beautiful and made scrolling look so good.

                                        Can anyone explain the different variation why some of the back covers have CE markings, while others don't. Is it because of authenticity or where they were made? Also, how to check if its authentic and not made in India?
