Anonymous, 21 Jul 2023It's all downgrade on everything going from OnePlus 10... moreI can totally understand you my brother. I do find myself in this kind of situation every few months because my circumstances (and needs) keep changing.
I appreciate that it may be a downgrade but i hear you. Xiaomi and Poco phones keep getting better every year but i suppose you get what you pay for. The novelty runs out after (as you said) few months and because of the fact that updates are almost non-existent with Xiaomi, Redmi & Poco.
So, how about the Galaxy A54 and the older Galaxy S21 FE. Been watching comparison videos. But what do you think? Any thoughts & advice?

bucky927, 22 Jul 2023Only 3 years of security updates? No thanks.Security updates are overrated. Can you give me two solid examples of harm or prejudice which you have suffered due to a lack of a particular security patch?
Besides, Xiaomi has stated that in the case of a significant security threat, they are willing to update phones even after the guaranteed period of updates.

Went to the shop earlier to take a look at it, being nitpicky here, the phone feels cheap AF and that dot notch is huge. The display isn't that impressive either, comparing with Samsung A54. I guess that's the price to pay for killer chipset.

I have just purchased the 12/256Gb version of this phone in the UK for £341 which translates to 394 Euros or 438 US Dollars. For that price it is the bargain of the year. It is also the best phone I have ever owned.

Mifan, 17 Jul 2023OFC xiaomi>mi(canceled)>redmi>poco Not necessarily, you should compare specific models rather than brand. Because the midrange Xiaomis are some times pretty bad.

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2023It's all downgrade on everything going from OnePlus 10... moreI'd rather take Poco F5 even if I am not a gamer, A54 costs more, no charger and is using Exynos and A34 d1080 with ugly notch camera. Redmi Note 12 series are a downgrade in specs now and the non pro ones are even worse Redmis, the Note 12 Pro and Pro plus camera also is not anything to write home about.

Gino76ph, 20 Jul 2023If I was looking for a midrange phone thinking about their ... moreIt's all downgrade on everything going from OnePlus 10T that isn't even 1 year old. Why even look for replacing it ? Basically going from flagship to middle class with everything you mentioned. Poco F5 is best out of them but it's still middle range price phone that is made for performance first so the camera on it is ok but nothing special. Everything is basically to cut the price down. Redmi Note Series use to be budget middle class that now is nothing special middle class where i take Samsung A54 or 34 over the Redmi note series. X5 Pro is also performance first as it's still a Poco brand that is doing performance for people who want to play games and can afford to buy them over brand phones with same hardware performance for a lot lower price.
I would say in your case it's wasted money as it wont improve anything for you. I dont even understand the point to buy phones every after half a year to a year.

If I was looking for a midrange phone thinking about their SoC w/ good Display (quality & colour), great performance, great speakers sound (clarity & loudness) and main & selfie camera (colour accuracy, dynamic range, low light, white balance) would you go for the Poco F5, Poco X5 Pro or a Redmi Note 12 Pro? or shall i just keep my OnePlus 10T?
