Global Version POCO F5 Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 NFC 12GB/256GB 120Hz AMOLED 67W - £270.18 At Checkout @ AliExpress Xiaomi Mi Store

I upgraded from the F3 which is essentially the same phone as the F4 mainly for the more powerful chip as I play a lot of emulators which has been a worthy upgrade.

That said for general day to day use it's not much different but you could say the same for most phones from the past few years probably.

bought one this morning for £260 same seller but paid in USD

This is the issue, phone hardware has reached the point that further upgrades don't help that much. Even as the software is doing more, the hardware is still coping well.

What we need is bigger image sensors, improved optics to really give cameras a boost. Then apply software on top.

There was some software over 10 years ago but it never made it onto phones. Where you took several photos of a person or group, and it would pick the best faces, so no one had their eyes closed etc. So merge 20 photos into 1 good photo.

Have it shipped to a friend or relative somewhere else in the UK?

Very tempted to do the same upgrade.. apparently the double tap to wake is broken which I have got accustomed to on my X3 pro

Would like to know this too

Defo not unless you really need the storage

In terms of camera Xiaomi 10t pro is one of the best phones they have ever made. Incredible stabilization. It shoot 4k 60fps which Poco f5 can't. Honestly stick to Xiaomi until you can afford something like 12pro or ultra to actually feel the difference.

Here is a comparison of their processors, the POCO edges it:

AnTuTu suggests the POCO is about 10% better, you also get 4GB more RAM.

@LaurenceGough @Xxavier any ideas?

Trying to figure out the same. Did you manage?
