I had it for 1 month, I put it to charge, it got hot and the motherboard burned out. Maybe mine was defective from the factory, I don't know, but yes, I was upset and I had bought the white version with the lightning for 500 euros back then. I hope they fixed the problem; I would buy it again, not the Poco X5 or Poco X6 Pro, in my opinion. ♥️
After 4 years with the Poco F1, I got the F5 for €350. I've had it for 1 year. I am absolutely satisfied. I am a driver and use maps all day. I would easily buy it again!! I have always liked to buy value for money devices. I can't find any flaw in the device, even with the cameras that some say are mediocre, I disagree. The phone takes excellent photos even in low light conditions. The 120hz screen is amazing. It has Dolby Atmos with satisfactory volume. In the price category it is in, it is a workhorse with premium hardware. If you want a beast without spending, for example, €700-800, you can easily get a Poco and keep it for a few years. Also, Xiaomi has simplified and cleaned up the software quite a bit, resulting in it becoming more and more minimal over time. Another very strong advantage is the lightning-fast charging. My father used to buy Samsung S series for years, and I finally convinced him to buy Poco to see what he can get for half the money. He got the F6 PRO and hasn't regretted it for a moment!
Beautiful, very good camera but also video, and very nice screen. The battery is excellent and charges very quickly. Now regarding the "power" of the phone, for starters I would strongly recommend expanding the memory by +8 GB, you will lose a large amount of storage space, however the approximately 200 GB that will remain is more than satisfactory. Personally, I play Fortnite on this phone at 60 fps. It may sound like a mediocre number, but because the screen of phones is much smaller than that of a TV or a computer monitor, it is very smooth. The only negatives I have noticed on the phone so far (1 year and something) are overheating and the fingerprint sensor, which will be useless for you because the face unlock is truly flawless and very fast. Personally, I believe it should cost at least €800 for what it offers.
After the MI 9 T PRO, I expected that this one with the processor it has would be amazing. Not at all!!! Average camera for its price... sometimes with heavy use it lags and the battery doesn't last a day with usage.
Very good mobile, I have been using it for a few months and it fully satisfies me! First of all, it has a Snapdragon which I was looking for, just like my 2 previous phones, it doesn't lag, the scrolling is smooth at 120hz, it has enough RAM and storage space, the resolution is good, apps open quickly, the fingerprint sensor works instantly and overall for the €380 I paid, it's worth it. The camera is good but not professional and it has 1080 at 60 fps but also 4K at 30. As for gaming, I haven't tried it but I imagine it won't have any issues. VFM!
Very nice mobile phone, worth its money, takes nice photos and videos but its strong point is not the camera. The brightness is average, the speaker is satisfactory, the battery lasts a full day. Charges very quickly. The best part is the processor, it is very powerful, does not heat up at all, very fast, does not lag at all. The mobile phone is a very good choice for someone who needs a reliable, fast mobile phone. Worth its money!!
Unfortunately, it does not make coffee and burns my food when I cook. I say these to all those who search in every mobile even the hair. The F5 is very decent in everything, no need for many words. It beats down much more expensive mobiles. I highly recommend it for any use. One year now, zero problems. As for the HuperOS, when it arrives, I will not update it, at least not yet.
I replaced my old F1 with this one, about nine months ago. Overall, I have been very satisfied with its performance. Apps run smoothly (note: I don't use it for gaming) and it has never crashed during this time. Compared to the F1, I didn't notice a significant improvement in photo quality. On the contrary, there are unacceptable flares when shooting against or even sideways to the sun. The wide-angle lens is welcome (don't expect much for night shots), while the macro lens is just garbage and was not needed in the system at all. I also think that video recording is a downgrade compared to the F1, as it seems to lose focus very easily when in motion. I don't use video much, so it doesn't bother me, but you should take it into consideration. Finally, the truth is that I had higher expectations for the battery life, which only lasts a day. As for updates, it is known that the Poco brand lags behind quite a bit.
I bought the phone at the beginning of December and I am coming from the awesome and amazing f1 which I only changed due to its age and it still works. This particular phone is also very fast in operation, the battery easily lasts me a day, it has fast charging, but for me the photos it takes without gcam are similar to my old phone. It is not tragic in any way and will not disappoint the average user, but I expected something more that I don't know if a gcam version will fix. It also seems to have a worse build quality compared to the f1, but it is not bad or worrying about its durability over time. After all, we see a general decline in materials in the mid-range price category for all phones on the market these days. My question is why the Greek version has not yet received the hyperos. Of course, this may be a good thing because we will avoid childhood illnesses. In any case, I recommend the phone for those who do not focus on photography, where there will certainly be better phones. But in other aspects, it does not lag behind at all.
I have been using the phone for almost 6 months. It is fast. However, it does not have good photo quality. The photos are blurry and out of focus. To take a good photo, it must be perfectly still! Also, the battery is limited in capacity. It obviously has some issues with its operating system as the screen often turns off (while the phone is still functioning normally), resulting in frequent hard resets. It is nowhere near the quality that the POCO F1 offered! Anyone who chooses it should know that it is mediocre at best. However, it is very fast. Lastly, the speakerphone does not work well. At a minimal distance, the person on the other end cannot hear anything. Disappointing
Positive aspects: The phone is fast, has enough memory, good battery life, and good speakers.
Negative aspects: The screen is not very good for AMOLED and seems to have excessive sharpness and mediocre colors. The biggest disappointment, of course, is the cameras! The main camera takes mediocre photos both in resolution and in tones/colors. The video is quite poor, I would say, with bad performance in low light, such as indoor lighting. The zoom camera is laughable with terrible video and photo quality! The so-called 4K it shoots resembles DVD quality! I had the Poco F1 before getting this and expected more, but it turned out to be worse in terms of cameras. I compared it with the Realme GT2 at €200 and the camera quality is like night and day! After so many years of development between the F1 and F5, I truly wonder how they managed to make a worse phone. I would recommend Realme at these prices for much better cameras.
Update: A year later, the fingerprint unlock has stopped working! A real piece of junk..
It was an amazing device until Hyper OS was installed, now its lagging and full of bugs. If you have the device don't update it to Hyper OS untill they have released a new patch.
The mobile phone here in my possession for some months now, and I can say that it is worth its money and more. It doesn't lag anywhere, fast charging, very good screen, top in its category.
I have had the phone for 7 months....suddenly one day it shut down and wouldn't turn on no matter what....from what they told me when I took it for repair...it's the motherboard and it's not worth it....wasted about 500€!!!
Stay away...and I was a fan of redmi, poco.
But now I'm disgusted with them.....also the same thing happened to a friend with the same phone....
I sent it to the authorized service and they told me because the screen is broken (even though it seems like the screen is only slightly cracked) it's not covered by the warranty and I have to first replace the screen (which is not necessary) and then they have to open it to see the damage and if it's covered within the warranty!!!!
The phone is a big scam!
Stay far away!
KIN-TA-RA, I love it and it covers me completely. It charges super fast and the battery lasts very well and imagine I play a lot of games in general. Worth the money. Once again, Xiaomi only
Very good mobile phone, quite fast I would say. I just give it four stars because the battery could last a little longer and the music could sound better.
The third Xiaomi I acquire. I had the Poco X3 for three years, which does not present any problem, but I wanted a new device with higher screen resolution, black performance, and better camera. Excellent in everything! It has Android 13 and supports up to 14. The best mobile in this price category.
Guys, I've had it for two weeks. I'm not kidding, it's the best value for money on the market right now for its specs! It doesn't lag at all, it runs smoothly and the processor is very powerful. Its camera is very satisfactory for someone whose main reason for buying the phone is not the photos. The only thing that lacks a bit is the sound, but if you adjust the equalizer from the settings (a two-minute task), it gets fixed immediately.
Overall, for someone who wants to spend a maximum of 400 euros, it's the best option available in the market. I highly recommend it without reservation!!!
I have had the phone for a month and a half... it's really good, with a very good screen, the camera is normal for a mobile phone, it's very fast, the software does some silly things and the battery lasts a day and a half with browsing, videos, etc. with good usage!! It is made of plastic with the advantages and disadvantages that come with it! I highly recommend it
Very good for its price, but I will tell you one thing.. Its screen doesn't break at all, it has fallen countless times and it's like a rock. I recommend it
I also come to add myself to the users with a positive opinion about the Poco F5. I mainly use the phone for calls, browsing, emails, social media, and secondarily for taking photos, videos, etc. It excels in all areas for my needs.
It is very fast, with a long battery life, lasting me up to 3-4 days of use with moderate number of calls and occasional browsing per day. In the worst case scenario of heavy usage, it lasts for 2 days. Of course, if someone is on the phone all day with calls, videos, games, networks, etc., it will last for 1 day.
The photos are very good for my needs (especially the main rear camera) and I don't expect Nikon or Canon quality.
The screen is excellent, but the sound is average. It sounds somewhat sharp and annoying in the ear with little bass, both in the ringing and when I listen to a song on YouTube, etc., in contrast to the Poco X3 Pro that I came from, which had perfect sound. After searching, making adjustments for improvement, installing an equalizer, etc., I found that disabling Dolby Atmos significantly improves it and brings it closer to the sound quality of the Poco X3 Pro. So, everything is fine.
Overall, if I overlook the small issue with the sound and Dolby Atmos, I am very satisfied with its 1.5 months of use.
And a very good video that shows how to disable ads, promos, and recommendations from the phone's system programs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=286go9FmycQ
I have had the phone for 3 months and I am very satisfied with its performance. Very fast, very good screen, very good speaker. The negatives for me are its camera (which is not bad, just not that good - decent for the price of the phone) and the second is its battery, which I expected to last a little longer (it lasts about a day with full use, although it charges very quickly, in about half an hour it goes from 30% to 100%). It is also quite durable and has a built-in membrane and case.
Everything is perfect, the only thing that bothers me is its battery. With constant use, whether I am using data or WiFi, it consumes it in record time and it doesn't last more than 1 day. I have to admit that I regret buying it and selling the Poco X5 pro.
Strong rear camera and battery. On the negative side: the front camera is very bad, quite expensive, and it has a large size. It seems like a good phone overall.
The mobile is fast, but if someone upgrades the memory from 3GB RAM to 5-7GB RAM, there is a problem with video calls on Messenger, it freezes to death. If you reset it to 3GB RAM, it works without freezing. I don't know if anyone has tried it and fixed it somehow, if they have, they should let us know. But as a mobile, it is good and fast.
Good morning! In the positives, the very good 6.67 flow AMOLED DotDisplay screen with an extremely small bezel at 120Hz makes using the mobile phone more enjoyable! The dual speakers top and bottom will also please those who are demanding when it comes to sound, which even at high volumes does not lose clarity or distort. I won't say anything about the fingerprint sensor because it was the only reason I chose the F5 over the slightly better F5 Pro, which has the sensor on the screen and is not as effective as the regular F5, which has it on the sides and can be used even with wet hands or greasy fingers! The camera is quite satisfactory, always compared to the F3 that I had, which was also satisfactory! The processor really surprised me, and although it was what I feared since I went from Snapdragon 8 to essentially Snapdragon 7, the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 (4nm) that the F5 has combines the performance of an 8 but with the battery consumption of a 7! The battery easily lasts the whole day with heavy usage! It pleasantly surprised me, a flagship killer! Highly recommended!
