The F5 reviews are so-so w/ uninspiring Omnivision sensors. Hence i am going for either the X5 Pro or the Note 12 Pro (not the Plus version). I would not mind if the main cam does not have OIS but as long as there is good EIS on all modes. And accurate skin tones, good dynamic range, good white balance, faster focusing among others.

As a long time Redmi N10 pro user, I had high hopes for the Redmi Note-12 Pro, but got disappointed when X decided on the Mediatek chip. The X5Pro seemed like a great upgrade, but it has a camera with No OIS and the handset is rather weak in construction/design. The Poco F5 sells for almost $600- Cdn so I got the F4 which has a flagship SOC, OIS Camera, strong build, Has built in AI assistance, Has good battery life, Awesome image processing thanks to Qualcomm, It has Gorilla glass on both sides, Charges up very quickly and it costs almost $200- less than the F5 here.
WalMart had it on sale last week for $399- Cdn for the 256/8 variant, which is about $300 USD.

It's cheaper from Xiaomi to use components made in India than to import materials from China. That's why indian versions break so much and suffer from various problems, while chinese and global variants don't.
Indian variants are notorious for their problems with motherboards while global versions never had that issue.

If I was looking for a midrange phone thinking about their SoC w/ good Display (quality & colour), great performance, great speakers sound (clarity & loudness) and main & selfie camera (colour accuracy, dynamic range, low light, white balance) would you go for the Poco F5, Poco X5 Pro or a Redmi Note 12 Pro? or shall i just keep my OnePlus 10T?

Anonymous, 23 May 2023Thats not the main issue tho. The main issue is youre stuck... moreThey always use huge internal reason for justification to remove microsd, in reality they just didnt want rnd for nand QLC going to waste, and wanted user using their payed cloud service which no everyone want to used it on long term. So mobile phone segment is a sweet spot for vendor to bragging around, and is have a loooot fanboy to defend them as an modern innovation.
And another justification is internal is more faster than microsd, in reality is just controller and slc cache doing a great job to hiding a big lie on it. When slc cache is already full, controller is going crazy to kept the performance and make more heat, more faster more heat, so newer ufs version is just soooo useless, is just make durability is more lower than older model. Im pretty sure 128 GB+ all of them are using qlc in disguise as tlc 4d nand or whatever. No wonder recently a lot phone dead case is come from weak nand, cpu, solder or the heat problem to make them dead.
Cloud service is an alternative, not replacement, you need decent connection, and more money for passive storage.
Another wireless connection like wifi, you need decent infrastructure and is not cheap to prepare them, and is not flexible as microsd. Even your router is 1 gigabit is still not stable, fast, a lot inteference and have potential security risk.
No alternative method can be replace microsd on flexible and easy to use.

Before buying a poco phone outside India, you need to check it properly should not be "made in India." India made poco/redmi/Xiaomi they are trash.

After 3 years of using my POCO X3 NFC, this really feels like the succesor. Fixes some nitpicks that I had with my previous phone. X3 got an IPS panel, X5 Pro gets an AMOLED, 10-bit capable and compatible with Dolby Vision. Haptics are greatly improved and the camera system feels a lot better despite using the stock MIUI Camera app, feels weird to say but I don't feel like I'm missing the Gcam app. Performance feels smooth for every day use (I don't play video games on my phone, thats pretty dumb).

Honestly, this is the best device I ever owned, literally no problems. Regarding connectivity, it has a great modem and I haven't experienced issues with 4G or 5G connectivity. I'm also impressed with Wi-Fi 6 speeds which are around 850 Mb/s (I pay for 1000/500).
Maybe you live in area without good coverage?
