But the hero thumbnail says otherwise for the sale tomorrow

This phone on par with note 12 right? Why don’t buy note 12 for $248 (6/128gb)? Specs almost similar

There are some differences. E.g. X5 has nfc, rmn12 for sg, no nfc

Note 12 5G actually, apart from processor, it is the same phone as Poco X5.

hello,

i just bought this x5 5g for my mum.

is there a way to lock/block those malware app installation etc?
as my mum is not very savvy with phone, a lot of times, she accidentally install those funny apps..
always bringing her to betting sites and funny stuff.. etc

so far, we did not help her sign up for any internet banking.
so should be safe.
her facebook account was hacked couple of years back but lucky, we manage to retrieve it back.

hence i thought of locking the phone for her for security purpose.
do share with me how to go about.

Someone told me note12 is like Samsung A series performance. Not sure how true but the price is quite reasonable. I feel quite snappy also

I guess it's time to replace my Mi 9T. It became laggy.
I need dual Sim (prefer physical sim), 256G storage, don't play game, battery to last for 1 full day (preferred).
Don't feel like spending to buy S23 or Iphone.
Is there any good recommendation? Was looking at Pixel 6a, Poco X5 5G, Redmi Note 12 5G? A friend told me to consider OnePlus 11, or Oppo phone too.

If u had to choose btw Redmi Note 12 5G and Poco X5 5G... go for the latter cos they are both the same phone except that the Note 12 uses SD4gen1 while Poco X5 uses the more powerful SD695...

If u don’t need camera prowess, can consider poco f4

recently flash sale as low as $289

if ok with paying a bit more for camera, pixel 6a is not bad at $499

Yeah, I was looking at Poco F4 as well, but, it seems that now left with 128GB. Seems like they've cleared the 256GB stocks before F5's arrival in a few weeks.

I'm not in a rush, still considering Poco F4 (with good discount), any promo of F5, or even Pixel 7A, I'm looking at Samsung A54 too.
