I bought this phone just 2 weeks and the screen died. I did nothing wrong, I took care of it, didn't spill any water, didn't fall and it just died. The screen is black but incoming calls, ringtones and vibrations is still active.

      I bought this phone just a day ago,I'm glad I spent my money on this and have some left instead of buying the 11t pro or the rn 12 pro plus,phone is working smooth with gaming even on the best settings,good 120hz,good camera quality,decent selfies,battery life isn't the best but the 67watt charger makes up for it,I got the 8/256 for around 302€ which is maybe 320$
      bucks.Very good buy!

And i'm almost certain that 99% of the time they will put cases on their phone or never leave it in the back pocket or something.
              If the X5 pro has EIS at 1080p modes (30-60fps) then I'm up for it. But is it optimised and stable EIS without the "warping" or "wobbly" effect that you see in most phones in this category?

                don't buy indian version of xiaomi phones. india added tarrifs on chinese imports so they have to make phone with low quality indian components there. that's why poco's are breaking down in india and not in the rest of the world. buy global version instead!

Have you seen the video on YT where the guy snaps the X5-P in half? I know it's an extreme scenario, but that just shows you where they cut corners.

                      When talking about the selfie camera which one has a wider FOV, better skin tones, has good white balance and one that can take harsh lighting outside with better dynamic range...the Redmi Note 12 pro or the Poco X5 Pro?
                      Would it be safe to say Redmi phones get better priority with updates than a Poco phone?

                        What I find funny about this poco is in their advert on amazon it says "When you go out after dark or in low light, the 1920Hz PWM protects your eyes from the harmful effects of flicker" .
                        So their admitting that oled's have been damaging our eyes all these years.
                        I knew this blood poring from my eyeballs wasn't normal.

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.

That's why Xiaomi phones for Indian market are 100% made in India, and why Xiaomi likes to bragg about it.

                                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?

                                    Great mid range phone, nothing else to say. Lighter than Nothing Phone 1 !!
