    Can somebody explain to me Poco's naming convention?

    I would think (unfoundedly) that anything with X will be better than F, yet it seems F models are some next level sh**t. Am I missing much by getting this instead of F?

    F for flagship believe it or not, x for extreme (mid range) m For the bottom of the line

    Good upgrade from Poco X3?

    The screen is better on the X5, but otherwise no, not really.

    Don't fancy the SD695 in a £200 phone personally. Would rather be looking out for something with the SD778 or 870 for the same sort of price.

    Well, why not go for the PRO version then for the same. Some European Amazon sites sell for more or less same sort of price and you might get more ram/rom in addition to SD778.

    for £200 this is a good replacement for your Redmi 9 imo

    So £198.55 for this or £9.55 for 24 months from Giffgaff for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G?
    Looking to replace the Oppo A5 2020 that I have forgotten the pin to.

    Re Oppo - I changed the pin after a rare night out and it isn't what I thought - been told no way of resetting without losing the data? Is this really correct? Also, can I get the data off the phone on to PC?

    Thanks.

    Do wot i did get a Samsung galaxy ultra keep a look out for deals on S21 S22 & S23...

    can you please answer as I have the same question. My P20 Pro has seen better days, having to be charged far too often...

    Also if this is not going to be a worthy camera upgrade, can you please advise what I need to keep an eye on for around £250? Good camera, good Ram and fair storage are priorities.

    Many thanks Switchy, you sir are a Gentleman and a Scholar!

    Many phones will be a good replacement for your P20 Pro at this point in time in many ways, not necessarily camera (though they would give it a good go) the P20 Pro is old, has long since lost support, so yes this will be a replacement of sorts. If you want a better canera choose a pixel, pixel 6 / Pro used can be had on or around the 250 mark

    I have a Poco m4 Pro, bought after seeing it on here. Would this one be a decent upgrade please?
