Kaaaan, 23 May 2024Yes, that Arbor guy is a hater of this POCO/Xiaomi brand. ... moreKaaan, don't be silly, I don't hate Xiaomi/Poco, in fact I was very, very happy with my phone until I put on an 'update' and found I had put on HyperOS and my excellent X5 phone had become unreliable and BlueTooth very much so. Now I cannot use it in the car, not even for phone calls using 'hands free', and BT itself is unreliable often looping. I had an excellent phone, now I have a very poor one because of HyperOS.

    mc, 31 May 2024Xiaomi/Poco peaked at this phone. F6 is such a downgrade. I... moreOnly downgrade with F6 is that they removed 3.5mm jack and maybe the battery that dont last as long as F5 but everything other is all upgrade

      Xiaomi/Poco peaked at this phone. F6 is such a downgrade. If only this was still sold brand new in my region; I would have gotten another!

          Last year, bought this smartphone for around USD200 at my region for 8GB/256GB version, I would say this is the real steal.
          For it's price, it is already very good, the rest of the cons are just some preference thing, which doesn't affect much of the usage.
          Those still nitpicking of course is already asking too much, simply just blaming for the sake of blaming, or I should say you don't know how to use a smartphone of this caliber.

            I have plenty of POCO devices and all just run fine, even plenty of Xiaomi device running HyperOS.
            There are bugs with HyperOS, but not the one that he keep mentioning.

              In my last phone i needed to turn my phone region to India to have face unlock. Even tough i dont use the feature or want to use the feature but that was the only way

              Don't listen to this Arbor and wait like a year so the os approves as the hyberos don't brick your phone. Useless person to listen when he dont even own the device so i dont know why he is in here even to talk about or advice anyone.

                Maybe you also go talk in Samsung S24 page that your A05 is trash with something ?
                Poco F series is flagship for Poco and X series is middle class for Poco series.
                You cant complain about your lower class device in higher class device page and give advice to people that are not interested in your lower class device

                    I received the 1.0.5.0 build Global version (Stable Beta even though I'm not a beta tester) a few days ago, installed it OTA, everything seems good, no bugs as far as I can tell. Battery life seems to have improved a bit. The split screen functionality still doesn't work when using a third-party launcher, but that's what we've come to expect from Xiaomi when it comes to supporting third-party launchers. Other than that, the new build is smooth and resposive.

I am having to avoid using BT which is a real pain and I am very angry with Xiaomi for releasing H-OS with major faults.

                          Hello guys the reason im posting this bc i haven't received any response from other platforms so i wanna ask about why hyperos isn't released yet in the middle east region do i have to do something so i get it like i've been waiting but nothing there. ( I am new to android and especially poco phones)

As you pointed out, the only way to remove it is to power off/on.

They're appealing to the lowest common denominator. Stupid to assume most of their readers don't know Xiaomi.)

                                  Luckily this phone has a thriving custom ROM community with plenty of nice ROMs to choose from. I'd highly suggest unlocking the bootloader and installing an AOSP ROM.

                                      This is actually a great phone right now.

                                      No, scratch that, this is THE best bang-for-your-buck phone you can get right now on Aliexpress. It's super cheap, US $215!!! Holy hell. Imagine paying that low of a price for the SD7+G2, which performs almost like an 8 Gen 1.

                                      I haven't seen such a good priced phone in a long time.

                                      NOTE: If you search Redmi Note 12 Turbo, you will get better prices. This phone under the Poco brand is more expensive.

A reboot usually, and I mean usually, clears it, so I usually end up powering it on and rebooting immediately.
                                        Bluetooth connections have become extremely unreliable as well, both with my car and a couple of other devices.
                                        I would like to ditch this HyperOS and roll back, back that seems impossible.
