I guess you are just not ok with hyperOS. For me, even though I have Oppo Find X9 pro and OnePlus 13. I am still fine with using Xiaomi/Poco phones.
I have used oppo, OnePlus, realme, xiaomi, Poco, Nubia, redmagic, Samsung, vivo, sharp, and HTC. Even right now on hand I have Oppo N5, X9Pro, OnePlus 15, Vivo X200 Pro, Sharp R8s Pro, Redmagic 10 Pro, MiPad5, Samsung Tab S9. I alr said, ads and buggy os is an issue that I would not wanna use and recommend ppl to use as main, though I do have techie friends who do that. And having used all these brands, I of course do have an idea of what I prefer to use for myself, and what to recommend people.

Personal advice is if you want to buy now, just buy the F8 ultra. At least you get the free wireless charger. F8 Pro has no free gift and given the way POCO pricing, few months down it will be much cheaper.

Sharp OS is even worse I feel. I have the R9.

While xiaomi/Poco os is not operation breaking, it's still something I would not use myself on the daily. Sharp biggest problem is the app drawer, but at least no ads. I also dun fully recommend realme phones due to e same reason of ads too, even thou they share OS UI

I also have the F6. Probably cannot find any lighter phone of that level.

Typically I buy POCO phones only few months down after launch as their pricing then is absolutely great for the specs that no one else can beat. Like the F7 Pro at $350+ and F7 at $320 for those specs. Even the F7 ultra 512gb last month at $660 for SD elite. All these are value for money.
That's an insane price. Could u tell me when was this sale cuz i want to buy in the future. F7 512gb is still ard $470 with voucher now.

haha, any phone always better to buy at least 6 months later as the price will have start dropping. Especially for POCO whereby the price drop much steeper.
Yes, adopting this approach since the F7 series.
No point paying for early bird since nothing special and paying more when prices drop or possibly have a new release again soon. :o
