price looks insane, really an insane deal compared to CMF phone 1 I'm using now for just less than $100 difference

Yup. But I don't like their overheating battery draining nonsense...

could you expand more on their "overheating battery draining"? eg symptoms, timing eg overnight? or during the day? trigger events?

asking because i have seen this on previous phones, so trying to see if there is similar, or there is possibly a correlation.

Normal use for me last time on F1 got damn hot that I had to stop using it. Their battery drain also crazy... can see the battery drop damn fast after a while of usage

tks, looks like different from my situations - 1+5, Mi Note 10 Pro, S21+. on fri/sat/sun night (no pattern), phone would at night, between 0200-0800, would go into some high cpu state, become hot, and high discharge rate. If less than 70+% battery before sleeping, then phone would be flat next morning. Sometimes, wake up and find phone at <10%.

tried many ways to track down whether system or app, no success. Wiped/factory reset, just log to google account. same thing happened. gave up and changed phones over time.

F1 was known for overheating.. but recent models dun seem to have overheating issues.. at least the F4 and X6 that my family have are ok..

Good to buy F6 now from mi.com? Very confusing, got mi.com and a few xiaomi official stores on shopee and also lazmall
I feel is worth it ba. The pricings are lower than the pricing from 9.9 and 10.10.

I think mi.com ships locally as they mentioned 1 to 3 business days. Official stores from shopee and lazada ships from overseas HK warehouse

X6 Pro : 12 GB + 512GB $301.

F6 : 12 GB + 512GB $368.

So bought F6.

11.11 price $468
Less Store voucher $40
Less Lazada vr $59.92
Total $368.08
After Less LazCash $343.23

I just anyhow grab. Is this is a good price ?

Not sure if I made the correct decision to buy F6 instead of X6 Pro. Read F6 speakers are better than X6 Pro. Use phone to watch videos and play mp3. So decided to get F6.

to be honest the difference btw x6 pro & F6 very minimal unless one game (~30% GeekBench gpu benchmark)

im on the fence btw x6 pro 8/256 $268 vs f6 8/256 $327 as well, justifying $60 for better gaming :LOL:
or just keep using my f5 till f7 out :o
