I might be wrong but,I wonder if the DISPLAY is the biggest reason why the phone's battery drained out so fast.

Like,the phone got a 68B(12-bit display)colors and also Dolby Vision,not to mention that it got a 1.5K resolution too.

Well who knows,many Xiaomi phones I've seen that got their battery drain out faster than their competitors,and most of them have the same 68B,Dolby Vision and 1.5K resolutioned AMOLED display

        Just got my F6 (12gb/512gb) few days ago and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
        Compared to my MOTOROLA EGDE 20 pro (12gb/256gb) It doesn't show the big differences that show in their specs.

        Gonna find out wether the Motorola is just an amazing phone or that the Poco is just not what it promised to be.

        Btw: on all geekbench scores the F6 scored somewhat to considerably higher then their own test scores. So that's allright.

The fact that extended memory is going to make your system loading slower is not a plus.

            It also degrades your memory chip much faster. Hence, real RAM is much better than "fake" RAM.

                  I don’t understand people who still complain about the lack of audio jack. In addition to bluetooth headsets (which i use only when i'm around) there are also usb c adapters or usb c headphones.

                    Nice phone though,but I still prefer a phone with extended memory.

                      The vast majority of wireless headphones have high latency, even the expensive ones.
                      And the low latency is mostly app dependent, so it isn't consistent across every app/ emulator.
                      Also, a blazing fast expanded storage isn't needed to store photos, videos, books or emulator games.

                        Why are you all so hyperfixated on a headphone jack (sd card i can understand but they are way too slow in the modern day) but why the headphone jack? For some slightly better sound quality over wireless headphones? The same wired headphones that will tangle and break? Unless youre an audiophile it shouldnt matter and if you are you should be using a DAC.

                        And whats the point of ranting here, you think companies are gonna read the comments and be like "random user 201 said to bring back the headphone jack we gotta do it"? NO.THEY.WILL.NOT. So stop complaining on the internet for something that isnt gonna change and enjoy phones for what they are.

                                    My last 2 mobiles were poco (x3 and f4) but I'm done with it. Always always pocket mode problems. Why can't they solve it, so many frustrated comments on internet from users. Every few weeks ghost sessions in my pocket that make apps & chats disappear or even worse (blocked by other users for my phantom entries). It's already a known problem for years and hyperOS didn't solve it . Don't they have a quality control or are they just not listening to their customers. So many complaints.
                                    Also, when reviewing a new model in a line, it make sense to review which problems were hindering older models and see if they fixed it. That might convince existing users to stay on board.

                                      Anonymous, 28 May 2024I think it's less likely for the F# to have a better U... moreI understand the Redmi thing, I hope they get it up on their Redmi Note phones at least cus this ain't it, having the same UW cam on the budget flagship killer and their "camera" centric phone is a disgrace.

                                      Oh and idk about you but where I'm at the xT series phones cost more than the F6 Pro and less than the Oneplus 12. That's a huge uptick in price compared to what you get! At least that's what I think. The xT series is overpriced where I live ig so I can't think of getting it. I guess I'm gonna have to get a Nothing Phone 2(a)

                                        BlackBeast, 01 Jun 2024But why would an F5 user even consider upgrading? It's... moreI did, because I needed a backup phone.
