I loved redmi but 3 phones of their had Bluetooth and Wi-Fi issues. About the mobo I think it has to do in india I'm not sure. Don't panic it can be some devices in that region was defective.

Poco have 2 years warranty anyway, so they must more confident in their build quality now than they used to be.

Everyone on this GSMArena forum should check such information for themselves, instead of trusting random people saying anything without any responsibility.

Do you know if these motherboard failures are because of poor build quality or because people de-bloat their phones with adb and remove something they shouldn't, as I've read it's nearly always after an update that they fail .

I just wanted to ask a question, those who are having problems with slowdown and overheating did you revoke msa permission.
I just find it very suspicious that xiaomi need an Internet connection to turn these off, I wonder if they send you something over the Internet to slow down your phone as penance if you do.

Akame, 23 Feb 2024I have to correct you on that, the Poco F5 performance are ... moreIt was the Poco X series that had motherboard problems, not the F series, ever. As for the 'average' aspects of this phone, I suggest you take a good look at the various reviews that cover these aspects, and you will see that the F5 is more then an upper-midrange phone, and you can for example look at the numerous comparisons with the iPhone 14 (Pro) and Samsung Galaxy S23 to see its actual real-life performance in terms of speed, build quality, main camera, and screen.

Sergio, 23 Feb 2024No, the F series has never had any major problems or issues... moreI have to correct you on that, the Poco F5 performance are NOT near flagship level but upper midrange, as for build quality the Poco F5 is made out of plastic, average speakers, average camera, an ok display and a bad software support which are not considered near flagship either.
Furthermore the Poco series had a bad reputation with dead motherboards with most complaints coming from India, the Poco F5 to date did not have this issues.
