For the app problem you need to contact that specific app support to solve the issue as phone brands have no access or time to fix millions of the apps in the market

      HyperOS ver 1.0 3.0 is full of bugs, recently after updating, my POCO F5 cannot recognize it's original charger and refuse to charging at 67watt as result it charging very slowly like 10-18watt i think and not only that i always got the pop up message that say the current app that i used is not responding and resulting to force close, i still have much internal storage left 70GB/256 and i always clear cache on a regular daily basis so it's not my fault but rather the newer HyperOS fault, so i advice to others who want to upgrade to the most recent HyperOS think Twice and throughly before you decided to do so.

        This part got confusing so i explain it as 7+ gen 2 i am not sure is it better then 8 gen 1 but i am sure 8+ gen 1 and 8 gen 2 at that time were for sure better as the latest flagships.

I am not sure but 8 gen 1 maybe 7+ gen 2 is better then that then 8+ gen 1 and 8 gen 2. So at least only 2 chips were better at that time.

            Now of curse new chips have come out and added more like 8 gen 3 , 8s gen 3 , 7+ gen 3
            So now 7+ gen 2 have fallen to top end middle class performance

              Anonymous, 22 Apr 2024How good is this phone? Very surprisingly good.
              -In September 2023 I lost my iPhone 13 pro in travel.
              -I then finally decided to get my hands on the S23 ultra because it's been grabbing my attention.
              -The salesperson toggled my convinience to wait for the S24 series and offered me the Poco F5. (still September)
              -I thank him so much
              -When S24 officially came out. I went to check it out, however I found myself more interested in finding out when and if there will be a Poco F6 than testing the S24 (while in the shops)
              -Now I think I'm a Poco fan waiting for the Poco F6 Pro(thistime🔥)

Settings/Home screen/System navigation.

                              The inability to easily install and use gestures on THIRD party launchers is a deal breaker. I guess this also explain the low price for such a strong CPU.

                                pl2rts, 15 Apr 2024Yeah i have the same issue with the phone size. 6 years ago... moreThese phone companies are only after profit and they they don't listen to customer feedback. Market trends don't tell the whole story.
                                When I first had the Pixel 7a i thought it may be small for my hands. I ended up liking the form factor and it's dimensions. For me a Google Pixel "a" device or the base flagship or even Xiaomi's base numbered series or the Galaxy S23 FE line is almost the perfect size...not too tall and not too wide like all phones these days. A screen size of 6.1" - 6.4" is the sweet spot for a phone screen size. Anything bigger is just too big for my hands.
                                I'm getting older (late 40's) and my arthritic hands are not getting any bigger. These are my observations in the past year or so.
                                Previously, a phone like the Poco F4 or OnePlus 10T are enough for me. Now, i prefer a smaller form factor.
                                At the moment i'm leaning towards getting the Galaxy S23 FE.

                                  Gino76ph, 15 Apr 2024Very true and i totally agree. Xiaomi always does this fal... moreYeah i have the same issue with the phone size. 6 years ago i bought Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Cam and it was 159mm tall for 5.99inch screen. Now year ago i got F5 that made the phone for me 2mm taller. I would want something like 5.5 inch edge to edge screen like the F5 have so the phone would fit in my pockets as i have never been a gamer on a phone.

                                  There excuse is that people dont want compact size phones cause market dont show it. Well market have 0 option for compact size phones other then standard iphone, iphone SE and iphone mini. While on Android side is only standard Samsung S class. Asus Zenfone is not compact as it's 150mm for 5.9 inch screen whiles standard iphone and S23 with 6.1 inch screen are 147mm tall

                                  Even construction clothing dont have so big pockets to fit these phones in them as even 1440mm tall Lumia 830 i owned didnt fit well.

                                  And based on how i use a phone it just makes no sense for me to spend over 200-300 euro on a phone. Even tough i went with F5 this time and spend 410 euro for it and i got it cause it had 3.5mm jack and i wanted to have first time more powerful phone so it will last me for next 5 years and wont be slow like with my last phone that was already slow when was new.

                                  Also market should show that people want compact size phones as otherwise even Xiaomi would not make there flagship 13 and 14 more compact in size but sadly not for middle class and budget they dont.

                                    pl2rts, 14 Apr 2024Well you wont get a good camera with Poco series. The camer... moreVery true and i totally agree.
                                    Xiaomi always does this false sales pitch wherein they say 3 year OS updates but when the device is released the OS version is last year's one. And based also on my experience they offer good value and the specs sounds amazing for the price. But updates do dry up.
                                    I also don't understand that almost all their phones have the same 6.67"-6.72 screen soize. You have to go premium (Xiaomi 14) if you want the smaller/more compact models. Same with Samsung. Which is mind boggling. They think it's the "trend". or maybe they think our hands are getting bigger each year and some of us have no arthritis to look forward to.

                                        Poco is for performance so people have options for cheaper price to get a phone that is able to run games on maxed settings like a flagship phones for years.

                                        At the moment it's not worth to buy F5 cause it's already 1 year old and wont have software support more then 2 more years as 1 OS update left and some security updates once every after 3-4 months.

                                        Better wait for the Poco F6 that should come in the end of May like F5 come at that time year ago. It also probably have a bit better camera and will have 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates.

                                        I dont see a point to buy Xiaomi branded phones later then 6 months (Espesially Redmi and Poco series. Xiaomi series that use to be MI series is still worth even when 1 year old) after they release as you miss out on some updates and there for the price is already too high. Especially when the phone have already got 1 OS update then it's already not worth to spend the price they ask.
