Do not listen to the hate. For what you pay for this phone, you can't really ask for anything more. Obviously this is not a gamer's phone, but will play basic games like tetris & bubble shooter, fruit ninja, etc. I got this phone for the wife and she is extremely happy with it. The speed difference between this and the Galaxy A12 she had, is night and day. Much faster, much nicer display, faster charging, more storage, better cameras, Already upgraded to MIUI-14 and a few security updates as well. Came with a charger & case. If you are after a budget phone with enjoyable features and a beautiful Oled screen, I can highly recommend it.

This phone is great just bought it around 6140 PHP(in 30% discount) in shopee, the 8GB ram and 258 GB rom variant. I like phone having AMOLED display because its more colorful than IPS LCD. Main camera absolute good because its have 4K resolution main camera and have 64 Megapixel camera. However, the refresh rate on display its only 60hz so just a standard FPS.
* About chipset performance, this phone will throttle especially playing heavy games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. Both games can run up to 25FPS in medium graphics but only for first 5 mins in gameplay. After 5mins gameplay, the phone will throttle especially in combat mode. I tried check the chipset stats found in developer option. I found that chipset temperature will reach up to 53°C when playing those games which is pretty hot. This phone really need active cooling attachment just keep the temperature to be control. Overall, this phone have limitation in terms of hard core gaming because it uses very old 12nm fabrication in making this chipset.

I just bought this 8/256GB phone for only 6300 Philippine pesos (113.12 USD) on Shopee PH. It's a great phone with an installment plan for 6 months at zero interest. It never lags for applications and light games, and the battery life is impressive. The AMOLED screen is crisp enough for the price.
On the downside, it does stutter while playing heavy games like CODM and Genshin Impact. The front-facing camera is a bit washed out, and the rear camera isn't the sharpest, especially at night. However, using GCAM improves the camera quality by up to 60%. The dual speakers are good, but the balance is off. You can adjust this in the settings under accessibility. I guess the top speaker is only about 40% quieter than the main one at the bottom.
Overall, I still love this phone, especially considering the price and its trendy specs. It's a true mid-range phone for the price.

Is the Poco M5s worth it in 2024? 8GB RAM/256GB storage version. It's selling here for $215.

Natalie 95, 18 Dec 2023after 13 months of usage my screen has burning issues speci... moreThat's what happens if you always max out brightness with static white/bright images will cause Burn-in on Oleds. Always use Black images/live wallpapers & keep brightness low to decrease chances of Burn-in.
There's no fixing it other than replacing the Oled Screen. That's is one of the major flaw of Oled screens unlike LCD Panels you don't have to worry about Burn-in.

Just 2 days of use. This smartphone has 128 & 6 gigs of ram. Have only being used for YouTube some calls and messaging. Not played a game in this poco phone. I bought as a gift for my mom. What impresses me is the bright amoled panel it has. The good battery draining time and also his rapid charging. For calls is a meh. Could be better I can't hear in a lousy environment the other people voice if they to are in a crowded place. The sound lacks that middles and punchy bass. It has a lot of extras for the price and for my mom that comes from a Alcatel phone to this it's an absolute whin.
I have a poco X3 pro with 256 gigs storage and have used already 170 gigs of space and 8 of ram and until today it rock's. Nothing has slowed it.
Just a Little comparison l. The panel in poco lacks that bright detail's vs this amoled panel but it lacks the smoothness of scrolling.
I think it only matters what you haved before. So it's a very good phone overall
