    How long does this get updates? Very confused by the Xiaomi sub-brand support messaging
    LaurenceGough's avatar
    2 years major and 3 years patching. It should get Android 15 as it's on 13 already.

    It'll still keep going after this anyway, app updates and quite a few system updates come from the app store anyway. (edited)

    Seems like a lot of money for a Poco brand phone. Even if it is a deal price.

    The Poco F1 was £330 at launch in the UK. It seems with each newer model, they're moving further away from that infamous 'flagship killer' tagline. (edited)

    They never used that tagline in all fairness, and compare this to other 8+ gen 1 smartphones out there, and you'll see this is still a pretty bargain for the ram and storage

    This or x5 pro? Or similar any
    Kenneth131's avatar
    Regular F5 is on offer now and then
  4. BargainHunta96's avatar
    I am so tempted. It will drop in price further surely? Hmm
  5. shyammayhs's avatar
    I think that processor has a lot of overheating and battery issues

    It doesn't at all, you're thinking of the 8 gen1

    This or nothing phone 2

    This has better spec. The equivalent Np(2) is £629...
    How much are those glyphs worth to you?

    Got this exact model last week, upgraded from a Poco X3 NFC. Very impressed with it so far. Really quick with multiple apps on the go, camera seems fine for me but I'm not a pro photographer or anything. Prefer the side fingerprint reader on the X3 to the screen reader on this but that's about it.

    Also picked up a 30w wireless charging pad from AliXpress for £14 that works great with this.

    I would recommend 512/12 version. Can be had for 350 from Ali. Used a phone for a month and Already 200gb filled(transferring from old phone + new software and games) 4k 60 video that this phone shoots files are gigantic (edited)
    pharmaaa's avatar
    Any links on Ali for £350. I need a phone for the wifey and your suggestion seems good.

    This or refurbished oppo find x5? The poor signal and average cameras are kinda putting me off replacing my Poco f2 pro with another Xiaomi
    gabr131aldea's avatar
    I would say S21 ultra or S22, both in price range
