Anonymous, 14 Jun 2023Other than good stuff that most people already talked about... moreit's the gorilla glass 5.
anything below gorilla glass 5 is bad.
flat screens are also less likely to break than rounded edge glass.
oled used to be, and probably still is, more fragile when it comes to drops.
even is the glass has zero scratches or bursts... oled can easily break.
i don't think xiaomi is particularly better quality than other brands. i know nokia used to have REALLY bad quality parts.
sony and samsung are probably some of the best hardware quality wise. unfortunately neither brand barely uses IPS technology anymore, so you get blessed with an oled screen which has a 1/10 chance of causing eyestrain.
i hope samsung starts using its PLS (ips) technology in midrange devices more often. IPS is a technology that should stay until they fix the problem with PWM flickering that oleds have.
so how was the latest update 14.0.4.0 for you all??

Other than good stuff that most people already talked about, I have an impression of Xiaomi phones being tough to break.
It's not that they use high quality material, but it's about how they put parts together, I guess.

It is a best brand for value and hardware quality.
*I have owned at least a few other brands in past.

Probably, if you are in US, you could get mid range pixel or 2nd hand though that isn't the case here.
O well, that's alright, poco's got good overall spec (other than mid range cameras) anyway.

Security patches? If you are an average phone user, you will not get hacked; you have to be Jeff Bozos to get your phone hacked.
Most of those hacks are of high level attacks, which means somebody pays the hacker a lot of money to do that kind of attacks.
I haven't been too happy about Android update since 11, and 12 is even worse with those bogus icons.

If you do not want neither party to spy on you, you need to degoogle and back things up with syncthing.
Do not store important data on phone, always back up on computer.

Randy, 10 May 2023I'm using android 14 but it runs smoothly Of course, it has to run smoothly but the question is Is it worth it? Is it smoother than before?
You would not want to carelessly update unless there is something really necessary about it.

All phones are produced in China today, did ya know?
I don't like what's happening about Chinese monopoly today, but what choice do I really have today when all other competitors are too lazy to fight back?
And the negative things you wrote about this phone, is it really limited to this phone or you just didn't compare well enough with other phones?
