Xiaomi Poco F7 series 🤩🤩

[froztheart]

It just died... 1st day I received it I migrated my pixel 6a data onto it... and began setting up various authenticator apps, even bank apps.. even applied my spigen screen protector on it. Then 2nd day, I even used it to post something to social media... then shortly after it just went black... nothing I do could bring it back including all the hard reset thing, plugging in and out the charging cable did nothing... no heat at all just cold and dead. Very sad for me.. since I was expecting a good phone.

That is why I got so upset with it and also wasted a good $50+ on the accessories including cover etc... then I just order F7 Pro lor... I dun think I will even bother with screen protector or cover since it is supposed to come with a cover.

Wow, that's surprisingly bad luck..
Nowadays, like never provide case liao leh... not for my F7 Ultra at least.

Finally got a Poco series... previously was on couple of Xiaomi until I dulan with the bloated battery.. then I switch to Samsung and Pixel but still will happen... and the recently Pixel 9a being dead on 2nd day made me take another look at Xiaomi which I loved for the infra red function that I can use as remote control even for my Edifier speakers which the remote control is dying.... and no good replacement out there, except an app which I bought, but requires infra red on your phone or external one.

Might be wrong but I don't think this supports Xiaomi hyper charge, but it's good enough imo. iirc only cuktech and xiaomi original chargers support their proprietary charging speeds.

There's a resident expert on this around, maybe he can advise better

Now Cuktech and others (But I trust Cuktech more cos they are xiaomi subsidiary, charging handshake if not done properly can spoil your device or even worst your battery overheats and catch fire.) has a Cable that that convert any PD charger into Xiaomi hypercharge. Not cheap though I got for $20 including shipping on taobao. I tested in on Ugreen 300W and it works. its call Cuktech No.10 cable.

If not it will just fall back to your regular PD fast charge.

I never really face bloated batteries in my usage, might be your charging habits?
Yes, the IR is really useful. I use it for my fans etc. at home.

Did you use the phone while charging or play game heavily? My bro also have this issue but he is heavy gamer lah. I remember someone mentioning it is because of the heat, battery don't like heat.
So far my phone battery never bloat, even for my 7 years xiaomi mi mix 2. Just lose its capacity badly.

Actually I hardly game with it until recently I had to install games on it to get some reward... and had to run the game in order to do something.. then I remember it heating up quite badly... maybe that causes it... that is why I stop gaming on my phone for quite a while, max I do when outside is listen to music, I connect a DAC AMP dongle to it and IEM lor.

So it is better that I just use original charger and cable from Xiaomi?

And difference is I see the 90W charging thing came up when I used Xiaomi Charger, Ugreen 100W charger dun have this just quick charging, but granted I think I never go buy dedicated cable meant for 100W also.. that cable should be my 25W charger one, as my 25W charger I bring into my room to use with a 3M long cable to charge my tablet that I have clipped to my bedside.

All XM/Poco/Redmi come with screen protector applied..use it till is scratched up then change.

really like it that XM has these applied out of the box across ALL their phones. Kudos to them..case too! can use right away.
