A really nice phone. I have been using POCO phones for the last 2 odd years now, and will continue doing so. Solid phones that really deliver at a budget price.
@@TechMishka After a little over a month using it, I can confirm that I do. No matter how good midrange SoCs have gotten, it simply gives you another handling experience to have a Snapdragon 8 under the hood (though it was important to me that it was a TSMC manufactured one like the 8+ Gen 1). The screen is also VERY nice and a decent step up.
Thanks for the review dude. Been a samsung s6-s9+ user. Probably gonna try this phone. Im more into gaming than taking videos/photos. Samsung here in the philippines doesnt use snapdragons and adrenos
Micheal, did you test if it did reverse charging? WQHD1440p, adaptive refresh rate 120-60fs,wireless charging, flat screen with 480p touch sampling, 5160 (5100)mah battery,, 8+gen 1 flagship chipset , all accessories included and 12gb + storage up to 512gb all for under $550sgd ( paid $549 sgd) for my white (12gb /512gb) pre-order version with my early bird price. You can't get a better deal. lol.😍👍
I've always gone for hardware for the price so my last 6 phones have been xiaomi, redmi and poco. Now that hardware is sufficient on most phones, I'm considering going for software for the price but I'm still on the fence. Poco f5 pro or Pixel 7, which one would you say is better as a main phone?
Never go for pixel you will be disappointed. I have pixel 6 pro. U will get slow charging, no ir blaster, no proper service and warranty, overheating chip and very low battery if you go for pixel phone. Ond Good thing is ull get android updates
Tough choice! 2 years ago I would have recommended the Realme device because of the software, but now it is not much different to MIUI. Get the one that you visually like better 😊
Здравей,имам Poco F4 GT,струва ли си да се ъпдейтна на Poco F5 Pro,защото доколкото прочетох процесора Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1 е доста по-добър от обикновенният Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 който леко загравя на моменти ?
I am using this phone from Samsung S9+ which is a major difference in terms of... everything.. So mine will not be as accurate The drawbacks I found now are: 1: if u have a mobile data limit which I have you can't really limit your data usage...installing 3rd party it's risky... 2. The new version of file manager. Does not include direct file transfer to public folders... unlike Samsung. BUTTTT I can open up my file manager to the public allowing computers to access my folders... --> it became one sided sharing 3. Warranty is 1yrs (unlike Samsung, able to extend to 3yrs) Overall I will still rate 9/10 cuz of the pricing... as compared to Samsung S23+(512gb/8gb) ($1698) vs Poco f5 pro($630)(512/12gb) --almost 3x the price.. and the specs.. almost the same. 😅 -singapore price And everything is rising as it's close to end of the year... If Samsung s24+ is out the pricing will be around 1800+ (as their highest spec)
i just can´t get myself to get another xiaomi phone. i do need to buy a new phone but i just don´t want another one. i hate all the apps loading and unfixed bugs.. maybe they are better now or maybe these more higher end models are different, i dont know, i just know i can´t get myself to want one, no matter how good of a deal it is. i don´t want specs, i just want a phone that works well. at the moment i´m waiting for some better deals on a pixel 6a, 7, or maybe a 7a..
😂😂 Dude no one cares, stop wasting people' time with these long ass fake rumblings, BTW Pixel is trash and they have one of the worst design ever and a lot of bugs. now do another useless long comment about Pixel bugs.
@@romanherrmann5982 it's not worse because it's worse, it's because you like other OSs better, many people like MIUI better than other OS, does that mean that they are worse, no, it's preference, BTW MIUI 14 is their best yet very snappy, fast and responsive with many new things especially the Chinese one.
I'd take the F5 Pro any day. It's like the 12S Pro is the more appealing version (its design is more in line with the flagship series) but at the cost of being more expensive and having less battery. I see not a single reason to pick the 12S Pro over the F5 Pro
Good questions... I'm afraid I don't have the answers. Generally - 120-watt charging makes better sense to charge in the first 10-15 minutes, then it is not much faster than 30-40-watt systems.
The Poco F5, why not, but the F5 Pro is too expensive for what it really is. It is better to go on a OnePlus 10 Pro / 11r, a Motorola X40 (in many markets it costs €500), and very often you can find the Oppo X5 Pro for less than €600. Ps: on the other hand, both are clearly much better deal than Samsung's A54, especially the Poco F5 👌🏽 The only thing that could get me back to Xiaomi and support Miui is a K30 Pro Zoom with a 120 hertz display and at least a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Im typing on my k30prozoom Too bad it can't use customrom If not i might not considered upgrading but im looking fwd to poco F6 pro instead which shud use 8gen2 or a rebrand of k60pro
I'm curious about that. Why exactly would the One Plus 11R be better than the Poco F5 Pro, evaluating the whole set? Around here the price of the 256gb 11R is equivalent to the 512gb F5 Pro.
All the smartphones you have listed are significantly more expensive than the f5 pro. Only the One plus 10 pro is 100% more expensive, and the Oppo find x5 pro is about 1.5 times more expensive than the f5 pro.
Smartphones have became mature so does their users. Poco F1 was great at the price it was launched but xiaomi is missing some thing it's the camera. It should have a Sony sensor and a 12 mp ultrawide camera in my opinion. Other wise it's a really good phone. And ofcourse call recording feature for Indian market.
It is real (though all the closeups in the video are with the regular setting as I kept it that way most of the time). I'm still not convinced it is really necessary to have that many pixels.
@@Fans.of.Darth.Vaders.Empirenly bad think about poco launcher is that, you can't split application on multitasking. I can't get it, why isn't there omg. When it's native function of android 😂

I would like to mention that 8+ gen 1 in F5 Pro is a lower frequency version
does that mean its slower than the standard 8+ gen 1?
Good catch!
I don't understand, why poco f4 gt has 120w charge, and this one has 67w. And this useless 2mpx camera in 2023.

Generally - 120-watt charging makes better sense to charge in the first 10-15 minutes, then it is not much faster than 30-40-watt systems.
