POCO F5 series

[monoblue]

Just ordered f5 pro to replace my poco f3 on 6Jun, today at hongkong sorting center.

Yeah, it was mention that the f5 pro will receive by 19 Jun and I just checked shipping status from shopee, it's out for delivery today.

Just wondering, since there is wireless charging for f5 Pro. Does any know if there are cases that make f5 pro work well with apple magsafe accessories?

So far, I only found one Nikikin case, but it seem very bulky.

Just buy normal case and stick the magsafe ring yourself?

That’s a good deal. Which shop / platform?

Xiaomi global shop. Can't remember what kind of vouchers I had and just end up throwing all in for it

 

[human_shieldz]

Maybe this video can help you decide?

It isn't even a comparison to decide which phone to buy cos of the use case. Even between flagships of 2 different platform it's quite specific.

Thanks for the suggestion, this seem like a good option.

Bought Mi Pad 5 for $200+ one of the best purchased ever lol

Just to confirm, it's mi pad 5 and not redmi pad? $200+ is damn insane

1 iPhone 14 can buy 3 poco f5... i hope this answers u

I know overall iphone 14 max is much more expensive compared to poco f5, thus I only comparing in terms of speed.

Reason why I am checking is because x5 pro is only abit slower than iphone 14 max when loading and playing games. Thus was hoping the f5 pro could match the iphone 14 with the better processor, however seems from your reply f5 pro is still slower than the iphone 14 in terms of speed.

In this case theres nothing much to look forward to changing from x5 pro to f5 pro.

Specs wise online compare can find result le. And f5 is significantly faster than x5 pro

Because you mentioned iphone loads faster than x5 pro bruh and u are comparing phones in 2 different price tier. you only mentioned iphone loads game faster than x5 pro...

Yup. That's why I bought it. I can't remember why I manage to get it so cheap. Probably upwards of 250 but still.

Good to know that f5 is significantly faster than x5.

Given that Poco market itself as the gaming phone, I was hoping that it could at least match the iphone 14 in terms of speed as I am not interested in the other extra benefits the iphone brings. I dun wan to be buying an iphone just because no other phone come close to it in terms of speed.

The f5 camera night mode is terrible. Picture is very dark.
My Redmi k30 pro zoom's same picture in night mode looks so must brighter like evening.
Have to wait for gcam or for poco f5 to update its camera software version

X5 antutu is only around 400k while f5 is 900k+.

The fingerprint sensor is on the screen. You can register multiple fingerprint.

To be honest, the speed difference might be due to the game is optimised better on ios though. But i still believe expectations has to be managed especially comparing between these 2 devices. Maybe poco f5 is a few seconds slower than iphone, but does that few seconds worth the 2 to 3 times price difference? For me, hell no

hmm

prefer fingerprint sensor on the side

F5 non-pro version got side fingerprint sensor?

Me too. Side fingerprint has so far been the best placement. On screen is still not good enough.

 

[orpisia]

F5 non-pro version the fingerprint sensor is at the side right?

not on the screen?

not on the screen?

Yes. I find this is the best finger scanner other than iPad's one. The screen reader type is finicky.
