    I've owned this phone for 2 weeks now and it's been the best phone I've had. The camera thing is pretty overblown, I think it's decent and battery life has been amazing, no heating up and top notch performance.
    The only problem I have faced so far is pocket mode not working, which can be fixed with a software update.
    However proximity sensor works perfectly

      Tch, 12 Jun 2023Seems like it's only your unit that has such problemsNa, quite a bit of people actually are noticing the pale/washed out colors of the display at Vivid settings, especially people that are picky or are used to vibrant colors. They are not just voicing it out as I guess the performance makes it up to it for them. Took me a while to notice it. Right now I am using Saturated settings but its a bit oversaturated for me but I guess its better than Vivid. Hopefully though it can be fixed with an update. If not, then will probably sell it and wait for one that has a better display as this aspect is really important to me on a phone.

                I got my f5 ordered month ago and the 8GB ram version and i was lucky to get it for 410 euro as i think it was the shop error or something for 1-2 days when the price was so low but they didnt complain about it and i didnt need to pay more for them. To be honest i regret it a bit that i didnt go with the 12GB ram version as at the same time it was for 440 euro while now is 480 euro as i also think that for 440 was error or something

                    The speakers are more for speech rather than music as they don't have any bass at all.

                      BREAKING NEWS! The Poco F5 just entered GSMArena’s Best Flagship Killers of 2023 list, directly on the top spot, with an Editor’s Choice recommendation. Nice! 😀

                        Hi, is anyone else having issues with NFC on poco f5? It shows phone moved too fast frequently when used, and also the nfc option keeps changing back to sim wallet. Not sure if it is system glitch or the unit issue

                                    Poco F5 CONS #cons #issues #problems

                                    1. Camera - worse even in pitch black scenarios. The camera flash is almost useless it's not adding up any colors it looks dull. The flash is weak (Redmi Note 10S has a much useful flash, much better quality at dark scenes). Poco tricked us to think coz the phone looks like to have dual-flash but in reality it's only one. (same with poco x3 gt) In comparison, Mi 9 SE has a true dual LED flash. The camera is a joke esp at night.

                                    2. Speaker(s) - It's LOUD but muddy, sounds like cracking an old radio at some point.. Even having Dolby Atmos it's pretty much useless. Probably cheap quality speakers

                                    3. Screen - the FLOW AMOLED is the also a big disappointment as it's not vibrant, the color looks pale. I am compared the Amoled display, to Redmi Note 10S and Mi 9 SE the quality of Poco F5 is very far off from good in any way...

                                    4. Keyboard - it's not as responsive to input there is a significant delay of keys as you type

                                    Reviewers did not tell you these. (I am unfollowing them now, esp those only up for hype and dishonest) I am telling you to make purchase decision or just skip this phone and look for something else. If all I've mentioned concerns you, Save your money elsewhere.

                                        Almost double the points in Antutu, and has dolby vision, brighter screen.

                                        Realme 11 pro + is rumoured to be €519 (443,44 GBP), with 12/512 GB of memory.

                                        You can get the Poco f5 12/256 gb version for 400€( 341,77 GBP) as of right now.

                                        Realme only wins in Cameras,faster charging and maybe UI, but other than that go for Poco F5 if you would like performance.
