slowness...the phone getting slow..
super laggy even even just by unlocking...somehow think the ram management is crap...cos after a while the phone is working normally..

This is before or after update to HyperOS ?

After hyperOS. Been like that since upgrade. Sibei sian. Like a low class phone cos have to wait 20-30s for phone to stabilize after unlock.

After the hyper os upgrade, is better not to multitask on the phone, the performance a bit sluggish.

Chiu gotch do factory reset after upgrade ?

Moi read somewhere that says its recommended chiu to do a factory reset (format/reinstall) after every "major" UI or OS upgrade so that it will start on a "cleaned" state , unless its the upgrade gotch issue

Thats why many ppl hesistant to "upgrade" if they dun see the need , bcos scared kanna problem or dun want go thru leceh to re-setup the fone from all over again

As saying goes - Dun fix it if aint broken

And also dun forget ifong that famous saga where they slow down chiur fone after update/upgrade

My preference is more on SD 7 series soc and earphone jack if available.

earphone jack very rare in phones introduced in the past 3 years.

That's why F5 is probably the last of its kind.
Can live without it though.

Interesting they reinstate on some of the features removed.

only to remove them again in F6.

F7 if based on Redmi K80 then most likely no more 3.5mm, but the hardware looks great.

so far rumours pointing to

F7 - Redmi Turbo 4 Pro
F7 Pro - Redmi K80
F7 Ultra - Redmi K80 Pro

Other than F4 which had a GT version(ultra) the subsequent F series don't have. I doubt F7 will come out with ultra though. K80 is most likely the pro version already.

Currently K80 is using SD 8gen 3, the second best chip in SD line up. 4 months down the road it will still be in top 3 I think. SD 9 no rumors yet, so maybe after Sd8 elite might have elite2 at most.

Can consider sharp r8s pro, has 3.5mm jack. $600+ during promo
