Leanzazzy, 16 May 2023That's exactly the reason SD cards aren't used an... moreFor local data storage, external SD cards are fine and their speed is enough for usage. The culprit is the the "Scoped storage" introduced in Android 11 and above which slowed down the performance of Storage Access by 20-30 times. Internal UFS storage is also affected equally but is apparently not visible because it is already way faster on hardware level and 20-30 times slow access is not felt by the user. But if you try the push it to the limits, you will feel that in some cases it is even slower than the external cards. E.g. I used to have 15000+ short video files in a folder in sd card. In a video player I was able to play back to back in shuffle mode without any lag. With the scooped storage it would take 10+ second to jump to the next video. When I put all the videos in the Internal UFS 2.1 storage, it would still talke 2+ seconds to jump to the next video. So the meaning is clear. Storage access has been slowed down to an extent to kill sd cards.

For global version owners of Poco f Series, have you experienced issues like deadboots or whatsoever? It happened when you did update the firmware or even not? There's no hate intented. I'm just doing some survey as I plan to buy this unit. Thanks

Nice and well-equipped smartphone, purchased in the Mi Store.
But if you (like me) come from a predecessor (Poco X3), the innovations are simply too few. I was looking forward to the Amoled display, but colours were just not displayed nicely and look much better on my old device. If you really want to set and use everything (120 Hz, Wqhd) then you won't get through the day despite the large battery. And that's not the point for me, that I have to turn everything off just so that my battery lasts. The camera takes the same quality photos as the X3. All in all, it's too expensive a change that wouldn't have been worth it in my eyes, so I returned the device.

What I like about typical Xiaomi phone is that they are durable and good all around with good value, except for a few things - camera (but you can argue that why would you need a best camera from a phone? buy real camera instead) and the size (they are usually too big).

I've had some Xiaomi devices.
When you buy so cheap it comes at a price. Ironic, isn't it?
My first one, even though it was made from aluminum, bended. It just bended by being on my pocket. Of course in time, the screen cracked, and lastly one software update arrived and it became sluggish and almost unusable. To the drawer.
The last one that I acquired is lasting longer than I expected, but I had great expectations about its camera. It ticked all the boxes in paper. But, sadly, in the real life it's just a bad camera. I'd give it 4/10.
What bothers me about the Poco F5 is precisely the camera. It is so 2019. Worse is the fact that it never made "flagship" level camera, so it is not that the phone is equipped with once upon a time the best hardware around.
If you don't care about it, then it's absolutely for you.

I just bought it on Shopee for P16,300 8/256 I super love it.
The camera is decent, vibrant display and fast charging is on point.
I also like that it doesn't heat too much. I can say that it is a very calm device that I got so far.

YOTA, 28 May 2023so my phone just died and im looking for a phone but i hear... moreWell, if u dont care about software update, this phone is for you. The spec could handle app much better than its competitor.
But if u care more about software update, than, buy A54. Less powerfull spec, but has the best software support than competitor.
