The F5 is vastly superior overall, because it:
• has a chipset with flagship-like performance, which is very important in the long run (about 2-3 times faster than the one in the Redmi, gaming performance plus read/write speeds included)
• comes with Android 13, and will get Android 15 (the Redmi comes with Android 12 and will only get Android 14)
• is light weight, slim, excellent screen-to-body ratio and has a more attractive design (subiective opinion)
• has a battery which lasts longer (according to GSMArena’s tests)
• has a main camera which still offers very good performance, even though the Redmi is better at it
• has a very good charging speed, even if it’s a bit lower than on the Redmi

Didn't like the screen quality (off white and too bland), speakers a bit weak & soft (and no Dolby Atmos) and the UI is very simple. Prefer something like One UI features with the speed and performance of Oxygen/Colour OS or MIUI.

Samsung has very good phones no doubt but Long term use is a lie

A closer one would be Xiaomi 12T but is more expensive.

                  When bluetooth is activated (even when no device is connected), the battery drains too fast. Do you experience it?

                        If you value photos, the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ is best in class (mid-range).
                        If you value long term, quick software support, the Samsung A54 is superior.

                          Disappointed with my 10T and want to change to a different phone. So many issues particularly the battery drain, alarm clock bug, main cam photos could be better... there are basically more bugs than my old phones.
                          Any suggestions? Is the Poco F5 or Redmi Note 12 Pro +'s cameras any better? Or go for the Galaxy A54 instead even if it's bloated?

                              My POCO F5 makes a weird clicking sound when I lightly tap or press on the back panel nearby the Macro lens and flash. It seems like a hardware or design flaw I think because it feels hollow below that spot.. I found it out while cleaning the phone before installing. Does your POCO F5 also has that weird clicking sound?

                                Zen, 16 Jun 2023Na, quite a bit of people actually are noticing the pale/wa... moreI think that GSMArena (and other professional reviews) would have mentioned it if there was something wrong with the colours/contrast. They have seen hundreds of phones just in the last years, so they would have picked up on such problems immediately.
