Throttling could be solved using external cooling though. I would go with Poco F5 unless you really really need those gaming features and cannot get used to F5's design. Poco F5 has a headphone jack, so there is no sound latency using wired audio equipment during gaming, it has larger battery, brighter display and faster fingerprint unlock as well

Now that this has been announced, should I pick this over F4 GT? I love both design, and both has their own pluses. F4 GT seems to have more symmetrical bezels left-right top-bottom wise than F5, but I love the subtleties of F5's back design. F4 GT packed with more features, and its pop-up triggers are quite useful, but the simplicity of F5 and its cheaper price also promising 7+ Gen 2 feels hard to pass on.

SlimeKing , 09 May 2023Poco F5 or realme gt neo 5 se? Depends on what is more important for you.
Xiaomi Poco F5 is smaller and lighter, has headphone jack, more color accurate display, possibly much much faster fingerprint unlock as it is not under-display
Realme GT Neo5 SE has bigger, higher resolution and peak brightness display, faster charging, bigger battery, more RAM/storage variants, and is cheaper

Anonymous, 09 May 2023But China users have 512 and 1tb storage options.True.
One more difference I just noticed which might also explain the price difference is the fact that 12 Turbo has OLED display, whilst Poco F5 has AMOLED. Generally, AMOLED is more expensive

Flagship killer ❌ mother board killer... ✅ Ha ha.. 100% true in poco phones... Poco phones will b dead and hard bricked few months after warranty is over and service center will say pay 10k for mother board., I am not posting this as fake review... I am the victim...i was user of poco F1 and poco X3 pro .. both same issues... IMO don't go for poco phones.😢😢 Not sure about global poco phones, atleast for India poco phones this mother board issue is nation wide.. company should compensate for all those who had mother board issue with poco F1 and poco X3 pro.. not sure about other poco models... I used only above 2...

Best, 09 May 2023For the fear of deadboot I think I will have to settle for ... moreAbsolutely correct: A lot of POCO X3 & POCO X3 Pro Phones have gone dead within 1-2 years of purchase with no remedy to customers from POCO except the extension of 6 month warranty period. But that was too late and a lot of customers were refused for unnecessary remarks by the service center.
My POCO X3 too has gone dead since last 18 days and gone out of warranty just 4 months back. I have never faced this type of problem with any of the phone till now even from XIAOMI.
I searched here at GSMArena for any write up/ article but found nothing.

The SoC of this phone is very very good, I would not even call it mid-ranger. It's better than 888+ in all aspects and goes neck and neck with 8 gen 1: 7+ gen 2 has faster CPU but slower GPU. But keeping in mind that 8 gen 1 is manufactured by Samsung and has throttling issues, you might even expect similar if not better prolonged gaming experience on 7+ gen 2. For casual usage it's more than enough. Finally fellas we have a properly sized non-gaming phone with almost no downsides, with fast SoC, high refresh rate display and a headphone jack. I hate punch-holes / notches but if it's a large screen I can definitely live with that. Remembering Pocophone F1, I bet side-mounted fingerprint sensor will be much faster in this phone than the under-display one in the Pro variant. They really did a great job in decision making of the hardware of Poco F5, finally my wishes have been granted, though possibly useless macro camera makes me vomit. Poco F5 is more pricey than China's variant I think because of taxes and the Global version has more network bands. China's version might have more bloatware which reduce price but I am not sure on this. So a bit higher price might be reasonably justifiable. If anything, under 400 EUR for this beast is still very cheap compared with what other brands have to offer
