i had enough problems with this phone.
sound on bluetooth not high. everyone can hear me in public area, charging speed with its 33w charger is not that fast. phone gets hot while watching movie.
i will go back to Realme 8 pro which i had before, at least i didnt have any of these problems with that phone

i changed my unit with another one but it has another problem, when i connect my buds live to my phone and listening to music the max volume is not loud. i had to install a sound booster from play store to help it increase the sound

pighean, 09 Apr 2022Good specs, but a huge design flaw with the earpiece/call v... moreTo be fair, unlike the video review, the written review here on GSMArena brushes over the potential earpiece issue. It's also confirmed that there is an earpiece. Here are the lines referring to this:
"The earpiece [...] gets a tiny mesh where the display glass meets the frame."
"The Poco M4 Pro has a stereo speaker setup with a typical Xiaomi arrangement, where the earpiece doubles as a second channel and that top speaker fires from the top as well, not just forward through the earpiece mesh. As such, you can expect sound to spill out more easily when on a call."
After more testing I've noticed that the majority of the sound during a call comes from the top and not the side mounted earpiece. I can't even figure out if there's any sound coming from the earpiece at all, or if the entire call is blasted through the top loudspeaker.

Good specs, but a huge design flaw with the earpiece/call volume.
Too bad everyone in a radius of 10 meters can hear everything said by the person on the other end of the call even with the in-call volume turned way down. Not talking about when the phone is on speaker mode either, but in normal operation when you listen through the so called earpiece. Virtually no private calls are possible since anyone around you can hear both what you say and what your party on the other end says.
I thought it was a problem with this model of the phone and that maybe it could be fixed with an update (I was thinking maybe it was bugged and the phone routed the call to the top speaker instead of the earpiece, but I'm not even sure this phone has a separate earpiece), but it turns out the same issue was reported back in 2020 on other models too (X3, Note 8 etc). So, most probably, it's a design flaw that can't be fixed.
Bottom line is: if you want to have normal conversations in public without the people around you being able to hear everything, then look elsewhere, this phone provides little call privacy. It seems this is also true for other Xiaomi models, old and new!
After researching far and wide for a good value phone, I settled on the POCO M4 Pro and now I'm pretty disappointed nobody in any reviews mentions this obvious problem ;( I am returning mine and probably go with a Samsung A22 or something similar.

People always said no 5G, no 4k video recording, blah blah blah.
What use of 5G for? Fly a drone? Fly a jet? Even with 4G i can watch youtube without buffering.
4k recording? What for? Even u can't share "full size" 4k recording at socmed. And 4k only wasting storage. And how often u watching your video after u record it? I think only a couple of times and the rest u only store it at your gallery.
And people always complaining about battery, i already use 30+ android phones and 90% of them can hold for two or three days. So, the problem was not the battery, but how you're using your phone, some "ignorant" people always turn on wifi or bluetooth even without using it or because they're too lazy to turn on/off when they reach a place with wifi. And some people too lazy to manual sync their phones, they always turn on "auto sync" that draining their battery life.
