@@dawadorjeet27 with light usage like normal texting, calls music and messaging i get around 6-6.5hours even now but medium and high is very bad like TH-cam and games is like 3-4, i have poor range and I'm always running a live wallpaper from wallpaper engine too so those factors are also at play, i changed my battery around a year ago because the battery life was bad and i used to abuse the phone when it was new, i used to game, emulate and run alot of custom overclocked firmware and stuff, so the battery degraded fast.
@@dawadorjeet27 don't over night charge, don't let ur phone drain below 20% and above 90% often, gaming harms your phone so reduce it but that's sometimes it's unavoidable, just general stuff, like don't use in the shower as water damage will harm, and once the warrenty expires a stable custom rom nay help, to be honest most phones aren't made to last more than 3 years but if the processor is a flagship it may go upto 5 years if u don't break the screen, also Chinese phones sometimes break with the last few updates and I'll be upgrading mine soon anyways
Been a fan of Xiaomi since Redmi 1S and Poco F1. Believe me or not, it's still working until now because of wide Hardware/Software 3rd party supports . Using F5 btw. i guess a am a Xiaomi/Poco fan boy 😅
The F2 would be the perfectly festurued phone for me but i have had the horrible hardware charging issues and bootloops, also the fpreader stopped working. Other than that it's been great, but it gives me so much stress!
I'm buying it, I mean I ordered it from flipkart and it hasn't arrived though. What attracts me the most is the snapdragon 7 plus gen 2, which is a very fast and capable processor, almost as fast as snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1, though it lacks behind in GPU, though it's still a great GPU, just not in the level of Adreno 730. Besides snapdragon 7 plus gen 2 SoC, I love the 12 - bit (68B colors) AMOLED display, HDR+, Dolby Vision and 1000 nits brightness, and the bezels are very small, which makes it very good to look at it. The 5,000 mAh battery with 67W charging is also a plus point, although 120W charging would be a nice addition but I'm not complaining about 67 W, too. I wish I could hold it in my hand already
The major issues like motherboard are mostly happened on indian variant due to poor quality and build. And global/chinese variant don't have those problem all the time. Even my cousin who used poco x3 pro is still alive even after 3 years of usage, since his phone is global variant, not indian.
Global or not. Still have those issues here in pH. I thought only in india. But not really. Ive owned poco x3 pro for two years. Usage wise very minimal to games etc. More on social media. Still have an issue. Took it to a service centerto reball the processor. It work but after a week I always notified an system process not responding. Suggested online to reboot or restartb it will be ok for few hours anfld the symptoms comes back again.
I was going to buy the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, for $299. Same as the Poco F5 but cheaper. 1 month ago I bought the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ for $299. Great Phone. To replace my Poco X3 GT had it for over 2 years. I'm still thinking about buying the Redmi Note 12 Turbo now for $249. Or the Redmi K60 for $299. As a second phone. Both are Great Deals for the Money. I live in Chicago USA.
Hi from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico! very nice video. I am close to deciding if I should buy this phone. I kind of want to say yes now. You mention only 2 years of OS updates, but for me this is perfect because I get bored of my phones in that time and I want to upgrade to another new mid ranger! Right!? I have used many phone brands but have never used a Xiaomi or Poco, so I am not 100% confident. I heard some things about bugs, and this scares me a little bit. but I think Poco brand is mature now, offering 2 years of warranty gives piece of mind. thanks again.
Everything is sounding epic, if the internals quality is way better than on the F2. However did you say no NFT? I find paying with my phone very handy at situations and missing this would be a huge loss.
Should I get poco f5 or iphone 11, which is better in terms of camera, gaming performance, temperature and battery especially if I want to game with it like warzone mobile and have a phone with decent camera
Poco f5 is way better..iphone 11 is just too old and don't even talk about the battery life of iphones...camera wise, iPhone 11 would be better but gcam can fix it for the poco f5...and poco f5 can get lifetime software updates if you flash a custom rom

I only like 2 things about the poco f5 - the processor is fast and powerful enough another is the power button fingerprint reader that is super fast too it's definitely way faster than my S23 ultra. I REALLY HATE THE SOFTWARE PART BY XIAOMI REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE IT POORLY DONE
Only reason I'm purchasing this phone is coz my Realme 5 pro is at its 4 years mark, I'm afraid it might shut down any minute, my realme 5 pro still serving me well these 4 years with zero lag and issues, including gaming. But this phone looks good and many nice features, I'm curious with the UI though, Realme UI is very simple and not much different from stock android, which I like.
@@xtacy187 My information is from gsmarena, and it says it's market dependent. I just don't get the logic behind it, why would you not include nfc in some markets.
After four months of use, it had issues with netork settings. I don't know why? It suddenly stops receiving messages and sometimes loss in mobile data. So I have to reset the network settings to solve it. Other than that, it's very excellent for day normal use.
Because of the motherboard issue with my x3 pro, i swore not to buy any poco phones ever. So i bought z7 pro. I'll wait for another 3 months. If i see no problems with f5 device, I'll buy this on exchange offer.
7+ gen 2 it's just a rebranded and little downclocked 8+ gen1, that's why it's litteraly the only smartphone in the world with this soc and the new 7 gen 3 (notice there's no +) it's quite slower than 7+ gen2 since it's an updated 7 gen 1
Just got mine for 3 days and then all of a sudden the phone got hot and started to overheat even the phone is not used. After that the phone shuts down by itself and when i tried to turn it on the phone is on deadboot😢
5:27 I've seen Poco communities praise this for 3rd party custom rom support. Samsung gives you 5 years but take away features even from midrangers lol. I'd take community support over lame and bloated official ones.
How does it compare to Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro? I think Poco F5 Pro has slightly stronger battery capacity and has a stronger chipset than Poco X5. But Poco X5 Pro seem to have stronger camera performance. Now overall F5 is beating X5 but does F5 have the availability of MicroSD card storage to increase storage capacity?
Then it would have become a flagship phone and not a mid range phone as Poco f series are supposed to be all high mid range phone with flagship performance
The only reason I bothered is that why it's cheap but the specs is kinda flagship. And someone said that the cost production is less and they used Chinese oled rather than samsung or lg.

Interesting. I've been using a Mi 9T for 2 years which was absolutely incredible. Then, I have been using Poco X3 pro for 2 years after that. And both were absolutely brilliant. Xiaomi gets a lot of shit for their software and there are reports of people where they had issues after an update. Maybe I'm the only lucky person in the world but this never happened to me. On the contrary. My phone fell into the toilet and I had to change a part. Works perfectly again. My only issue is the camera because it's actually not very good on this device.

Hello , i watched ur laptop review always but not covered zenbook 14 oled 2023 but there is confusion if see on asus official site it available only in ryzen processor but on Flipkart it available in Intel and Ryzen both , is it a exclusive product from flipkart ? Their no official announcement for intel processor in that model please cover it if find a catch there, Thank you.
At first I disliked the video after watching 5mins. then I removed dislike, and after 5:05 The Cache, I disliked it again. Bro the cons are so common with all of the phones in market. So 2 dislikes. Thanks for the effort to add "BUT" in title.
After watching this video , i can safely say that this guy just says what the viewers wants to hear and like. The way you told about the display and added the "i mean come'on" , just tells everything. Felt like a marketing video rather than a tech video tbh.
That's alright buddy. What you need to understand is that if this was a marketing video, I wouldn't highlight such a big issue with the poco phones Which I do in the video if you cared enough to watch the whole video. But you can watch again and may be you'll feel different about how honest I've been in this video. Just because it's a review doesn't mean I have to say bad things about the phone just to make a point.If it's genuinely good, I will call it out.
The issue with this review is your perspective. If you're calling a phone extraordinary... It has to be extraordinary. You can't compare it with below avg phones in this price range and call it extraordinary. Nothing phone 1 has a metal frame and glass back. 2 yr old Samsung A52 had IP68 rating. If we move back a bit further than that, Redmi k20 pro had fabulous cameras. The smartphone market is garbage right now. Acknowledge that. Don't praise a phone with a shit software extraordinary just because it has a better than avg processor. 30000 rs is no joke for a phone. Be a bit sincere.
You can't expect to have everything in this price range. Structural stability of the phone is great even without glass back and metal frame as it doesn't break in two after heavy bending, there have been tests that already proved it. And like 60/70% of the people are using phone cases, so they won't really feel the finish of the phone anyway. When it comes to cameras they are good enough, definitely enough for daily usage when you need to take pics of the documents and stuff. There are better phones for social media, but if you aren't into that crap this will definitely do. IP 68 rating is one thing I wish the phone had, but oh well IP 53 must do. I don't really get why ppl are constantly complaining about the software when it's the only thing modifiable in the modern smartphones. Personally I find MIUI to be smooth, but even if it wasn't Xiaomi is giving you an option to unlock the bootloader and flash whatever ROM you like.
The 3 old phones you mentioned didn't have SD7+ gen 2 and 1Tb/16gb configuration for the Chinese model. Probably no more support besides the Samsung. And my friend's experience with Samsung is that IP68 doesn't mean anything as it still water damaged his phone despite not getting it wet. Samsung did not honor the warranty lol. You also lose ip68 once you need repair service.
Hey mobiscrub recently there are many issues regarding the poco phones in India whose motherboards, camera, displays are being dead it started with the Poco X3 pro and from there it started to happen like in every poco phones and now i am in a confusion thinking of buying the poco f5 but hearing these sort of news and issues i am not sure, as a student i don't frequently change phones so i need a reliable and a powerful phone and the f5 is powerful but not sure about it being reliable. So please have a look in the comment and suggest me what to do and if not poco f5 then which phone under the same budget like poco f5 with almost the same features and specs.
That 3.5mm jack is the winner for me.

notifications issue how do you mean :=) ?
They are very slow to come through sometimes and you can easily miss them.
Horrible UI as well
Can you install custom rom in this phone without using pc?
Do you think getting a Poco phone and downloading a custom ROM is a good idea?
The ads can be turned off and only seem to appear in Xiaomi/POCO apps.
3.5mm jack + flat display (really a great display) and 7 gen+2 is a big win for me. Bought this for family member

Im more attracted to ur fluent in english bro coming from an Indian ,respect ❤
Wait... I'm not sure which version U got. But my 12GB Ram Poco F5 does have NFC
I only like 2 things about the poco f5 - the processor is fast and powerful enough another is the power button fingerprint reader that is super fast too it's definitely way faster than my S23 ultra. I REALLY HATE THE SOFTWARE PART BY XIAOMI REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE IT POORLY DONE
Can you please tell me the name and location of the book store shown in the video?
Only reason I'm purchasing this phone is coz my Realme 5 pro is at its 4 years mark, I'm afraid it might shut down any minute, my realme 5 pro still serving me well these 4 years with zero lag and issues, including gaming. But this phone looks good and many nice features, I'm curious with the UI though, Realme UI is very simple and not much different from stock android, which I like.
Great review as always! Thanks!
3:16 - I see the NFC is market dependent. I mean, come on....what is behind that?
The website advertises that it has NFC .. The one I bought is the 12GB RAM global edition
@@xtacy187 My information is from gsmarena, and it says it's market dependent. I just don't get the logic behind it, why would you not include nfc in some markets.
@@phobos. Beats me.. Might be a cost saving related matter..!? 🤔 I use NFC daily to make payments and am glad I got the version that includes it..
@@xtacy187 Payments...exactly!
After four months of use, it had issues with netork settings. I don't know why? It suddenly stops receiving messages and sometimes loss in mobile data. So I have to reset the network settings to solve it. Other than that, it's very excellent for day normal use.
4:07 You are wrong. it's Sanpdragon 7+ gen 2
Because of the motherboard issue with my x3 pro, i swore not to buy any poco phones ever. So i bought z7 pro. I'll wait for another 3 months. If i see no problems with f5 device, I'll buy this on exchange offer.
The way you casually said 'at this price point' as if it is cheap. Many people don't even have that much salary per month
NFC available in most regions. This phone has 7+ Gen 2 (not 1).😅
7+ gen 2 it's just a rebranded and little downclocked 8+ gen1, that's why it's litteraly the only smartphone in the world with this soc and the new 7 gen 3 (notice there's no +) it's quite slower than 7+ gen2 since it's an updated 7 gen 1
Just got mine for 3 days and then all of a sudden the phone got hot and started to overheat even the phone is not used. After that the phone shuts down by itself and when i tried to turn it on the phone is on deadboot😢
Does it make an announcement before call recording? and how do you switch to MIUI Dialer from google dialer?
Its default dialer is miui dialer so it won't announce before starting the recording.
5:27 I've seen Poco communities praise this for 3rd party custom rom support. Samsung gives you 5 years but take away features even from midrangers lol. I'd take community support over lame and bloated official ones.
Will it get android 15?
I have the POCO F1 since it came out and it never ever went down, to repair or anything like that
How does it compare to Xiaomi Poco X5 Pro? I think Poco F5 Pro has slightly stronger battery capacity and has a stronger chipset than Poco X5. But Poco X5 Pro seem to have stronger camera performance. Now overall F5 is beating X5 but does F5 have the availability of MicroSD card storage to increase storage capacity?
Look for comparison videos. There's a lot of em.
F5 is stronger.
no micro sd for F5 but with 220gb out of the box, not a big deal
why did you say snapdragon 7 gen 1 when this phone is 7 gen 2...
Can poco mobile give camera improvement update hi software updates???
Processor is sd 7+ gen 2 and not gen 1 as pointed out at 4:06 . Just FYI.
Poco 5 pro 256gb is besf
Can it still sort app icons by color?
Rocking this device with a custom rom ❤
5:37 exactly what happened to my mi 11t pro after a week of the latest xiaomi hyper os update, i regret buying xiaomi products
bro u said 7+ gen 1. is that correct?
They could have priced it 2k more for a better primary camera.
Then it would have become a flagship phone and not a mid range phone as Poco f series are supposed to be all high mid range phone with flagship performance
The only reason I bothered is that why it's cheap but the specs is kinda flagship. And someone said that the cost production is less and they used Chinese oled rather than samsung or lg.
But rumors says that the screen they used performed better
am confused will I buy mi 12pro or pixel 7a.. both pricing same.
Dear we do not need background music your voice is strong we want to hear it loud and clear. Please do nt mix background music while you deliver your dialogue. May be you keep low background sound or when you are taking pause.😊
Background music is essential in a video as it sets a mood and prevents the video from becoming boring.
4:07 gen 2 not gen 1 ❤
Should i go for 8gb variant or 12gb ram for f5
youre not going to open multiple games/apps at the same time right? go for the 8 gb
Got it in 20k in sale, great phone, also good custom rom support as always for poco f series
What Im confused here now , isnt it SD 7 gen 2 / instead of SD 7+ gen 1?????
Can you compare this phone with pro version? It would be really nice to see the main difference
"sd8gen1" is the new "7 gen 2 "
sd 8 gen 1 is made by Samsung and they fucked up the motherboard and thus its heat and having problems
later Qualcomm broke deals with Samsung the gave tsmc to make 7 gen 2 (which is 8gen 1 but underclocked gpu )
@@Arnabsrkfan yep
@@Arnabsrkfan bro it has 8+gen 1 which was later made by qualcomm and is on steroids
Poco f5 base varient:- Rs 29.999
Plus hiden charges for any damge toh motherboard :- Rs15000
If agree like this comment 😂😂😂
Disclaimer buy at your own risk because risk hai toh Ishq hai❤❤❤
Only x serial mobile, f serial good
4:08 it's 7+ gen 2 bhai not 7+ gen 1 😂
Good thing i live in europe where the f5 has NFC. I wouldnt buy it, if it had no NFC
I am gonna get the f5 in 10 days but i am not sure after this video since i am going to use it for 3years+ until i enter college but idk is this the best choice?
I want it for playing and videos
If for videos and gaming, from what I've seen, its probably the best choice
Nvm I just seen that your comment is 9 months old😅
Interesting.
I've been using a Mi 9T for 2 years which was absolutely incredible. Then, I have been using Poco X3 pro for 2 years after that. And both were absolutely brilliant. Xiaomi gets a lot of shit for their software and there are reports of people where they had issues after an update. Maybe I'm the only lucky person in the world but this never happened to me.
On the contrary. My phone fell into the toilet and I had to change a part. Works perfectly again.
My only issue is the camera because it's actually not very good on this device.
Poco F5 and Galaxy S21 FE - what is the preferable one?
S21 heavy heating 888 prascesoar battery drain fast, poco f5, 7+gen2 vs 8 gen1 equal prascesoar battery packup best antutu score1000000 above, s21 camera best ,poco performance battery backup best phone
POCO F series have had problems with motherboards?
Only in India and only 1 or 2 models, one being X3 pro.
4:06 *Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2
Maybe misread or typo but It's ok.
What is the name of the game he is playing at 120hz?
Hello , i watched ur laptop review always but not covered zenbook 14 oled 2023 but there is confusion if see on asus official site it available only in ryzen processor but on Flipkart it available in Intel and Ryzen both , is it a exclusive product from flipkart ? Their no official announcement for intel processor in that model please cover it if find a catch there, Thank you.
Lots of laptops have both variations
At first I disliked the video after watching 5mins. then I removed dislike, and after 5:05 The Cache, I disliked it again. Bro the cons are so common with all of the phones in market. So 2 dislikes. Thanks for the effort to add "BUT" in title.
Any motherboard issues sir😢
That's 7+ gen2
4:07 Not Snapdragon 7+Gen 1
Snapdragon 7+Gen 2
Poco F5 was a true successor to the F1❤
Os update doesn't matter for Mi coz it has a great custom ROM support.
"At this price point!"
What about top speaker ? I felt it noisy
i saw AI Image Engine 4:32, i thought this feature is only available in F5 Pro version.
After watching this video , i can safely say that this guy just says what the viewers wants to hear and like. The way you told about the display and added the "i mean come'on" , just tells everything. Felt like a marketing video rather than a tech video tbh.
Beggar can't be choosers tho.
That's alright buddy.
What you need to understand is that if this was a marketing video, I wouldn't highlight such a big issue with the poco phones Which I do in the video if you cared enough to watch the whole video. But you can watch again and may be you'll feel different about how honest I've been in this video. Just because it's a review doesn't mean I have to say bad things about the phone just to make a point.If it's genuinely good, I will call it out.
Then he should've said the photos and videos are absolutely awesome..... Which he did not.
Can't even record 4K from the front camera, not even 30fps even though processor supports it all.
On what you'll watch those selfie movies that you need that resolution?
The issue with this review is your perspective. If you're calling a phone extraordinary... It has to be extraordinary. You can't compare it with below avg phones in this price range and call it extraordinary. Nothing phone 1 has a metal frame and glass back. 2 yr old Samsung A52 had IP68 rating.
If we move back a bit further than that, Redmi k20 pro had fabulous cameras.
The smartphone market is garbage right now. Acknowledge that. Don't praise a phone with a shit software extraordinary just because it has a better than avg processor. 30000 rs is no joke for a phone. Be a bit sincere.
You can't have everything in one phone, but this packs quite a lot of it, and I think he is honest about everything he said
You can't expect to have everything in this price range. Structural stability of the phone is great even without glass back and metal frame as it doesn't break in two after heavy bending, there have been tests that already proved it. And like 60/70% of the people are using phone cases, so they won't really feel the finish of the phone anyway. When it comes to cameras they are good enough, definitely enough for daily usage when you need to take pics of the documents and stuff. There are better phones for social media, but if you aren't into that crap this will definitely do. IP 68 rating is one thing I wish the phone had, but oh well IP 53 must do. I don't really get why ppl are constantly complaining about the software when it's the only thing modifiable in the modern smartphones. Personally I find MIUI to be smooth, but even if it wasn't Xiaomi is giving you an option to unlock the bootloader and flash whatever ROM you like.
The 3 old phones you mentioned didn't have SD7+ gen 2 and 1Tb/16gb configuration for the Chinese model. Probably no more support besides the Samsung. And my friend's experience with Samsung is that IP68 doesn't mean anything as it still water damaged his phone despite not getting it wet. Samsung did not honor the warranty lol. You also lose ip68 once you need repair service.
Hey mobiscrub recently there are many issues regarding the poco phones in India whose motherboards, camera, displays are being dead it started with the Poco X3 pro and from there it started to happen like in every poco phones and now i am in a confusion thinking of buying the poco f5 but hearing these sort of news and issues i am not sure, as a student i don't frequently change phones so i need a reliable and a powerful phone and the f5 is powerful but not sure about it being reliable.
So please have a look in the comment and suggest me what to do and if not poco f5 then which phone under the same budget like poco f5 with almost the same features and specs.
Is the phone support Type C OTG 3.1?
no, just 2.0
no Micro sd slot is a deal breaker for me
I'm not a photographer so it's a great phone for me
