just a smile, 14 May 2023ever heard of a flash drive buddy?Flash drive?
Are you a 40yo bitter millennial?
Welcome to the 21st century, where people use microSDXC expendable card for smartphones because the storage for upper-mid range phones (SD 7) is small for a lot if not most users.
Not many people like you use smartphones only for calls and social apps like Facebook. Many use phones for pics, vids, large (mostly gaming) apps, alongside music and other storage consuming purposes.
Poco F5 without SD card slot is basically useless.
It's an UPPER-mid (you get it? upper??) range smartphone that lacks one of the most important UPPER (you get it now??) features.

I don't know what to think. I still have the Poco F1 and it's still very good and almost as fast as the first day. The battery is partially weakened, but it still works from sunrise to dusk.
Now my plan is to switch to F5. It could be slippery. Can you give me some advice?

adaptive refresh rate only works with high brightness 80% and above, normal brightness it stuck to 120hz.

Samsung doesn't even provide 10bit display on s23 ultra but now we have 12bit display devices, maybe 12bit is not native but still ahead

Explanation, 12 May 2023it is because the F non pro starting with F5 is not flagshi... moreYes, that is most likely the reason. The F5 is not a rebrand of the Redmi K series (the Redmi K60 became the F5 Pro instead).

MiUI only allows you to display the A... moreRegarding “always on display” (AOD):
Poco F5 is the exception (max 10 seconds). Poco F3, F4, F5 Pro have true “always on” displays.
This may have something to do with the F5 being a rebrand of the Redmi Note Turbo, instead of the usual Redmi K series (F5 Pro is Redmi K60, hence true always on display). The Redmi Note series have always had only 10 seconds max AOD.
And it’s not just a software limitation. Some AMOLED panels can’t slow down to 1 Hz or even 10 Hz, therefore AOD will use up a lot of battery even if only a few pixels are turned on.

So do you just have to keep checking your phone for notifications or when something new comes the entire display turns on? Or just the AOD display turns on? I ordered the F5 but haven't received it yet so I'm trying to wrap my head around this...Since this phone has an AMOLED panel surely it would have made sense to just have a proper AOD feature, it won't impact the battery that much I don't think. I really hope they correct this with a software update one day...
