Weekly poll: Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro tempt you with great value for money, do you want one? Comments

They rebranded the Redmi Note 12 Turbo and increased the price by 30%.
That is not "great value for money".

[deleted post]You should listen/watch what flossy carter has to say about Chinese brands. He test them a lot compared to you

[deleted post]No Chinese brand want to get there brand defamed like Huawei was while being in USA market. And USA market is full of scamming brands that have probably same level in quality while price per device is 1000% of the cost to build one device
I dont think EU market wants to buy low quality electronics too and the prices are not even low for them as all the tax we need to pay for. Also Apple devices is not Made in USA to justify this insane prices they have and especially for EU that is like 100 more expensive for what ever reason on tax
And well i would imagine EU have high standards in law with quality too so the brands who want to take part of the market they need to fallow these standards

[deleted post]Everyone buys Xiaomi because they're cheaper, and there's a reason for that. Software is borderline infuriating with so many bugs and software update issues.

Anonymous, 21 May 2023The price isn't real. In Europe it will be 600 if we're lucky. At that price it'... moreEven F5 Pro is not 600 euro in Europe as for 8GB version based on amazon de is 530 euro and 12GB is 580 euro and the price will probably drop in 2 months.
Like at first 2 months Poco X5 Pro was 370 euro in my area and now it's for 320 euro. Also the 6/128GB version of X5 Pro cost same as 8/256GB as there are not a lot of places that sold 6GB version.
Just like there are not a lot of places in my location where is sold 8GB version for F5 as the 12GB version that cost 30 euro more has like 15 different shops.

If it doesn't have an sd card slot, a 3.5mm jack, fm radio and nfc then no point to upgrade, since i've just installed the 5Ah battery from Asus and it holds 10h easy, can get up to 15h OST.

The price isn't real. In Europe it will be 600 if we're lucky. At that price it's still competitive, but nowhere near as amazing a price as in China

It's lighter, has headphone jack, and the SoC is just a... moreI would say it's not a drawback about software as you can install custom android on it after Poco stops updating as that be the time when your warranty be over anyways and be right time to install new custom android on it to get more updates and probably montly security updates that poco give you like once in 4 months

F5 is around same price as Samsung A54 while F5 is way better in performance and also have 3.5mm jack.
And with Poco F5 you can install your pure android on it and get more updates in total for more then 5 years to compare with Samsung that ends it's updates and you cant install new custom android on it that give you the updates
When you talk about updates are very important then why complain about it on a brand that lets you install your custom android on them ? F5 hardware is like at least 2 times better then A54 have so it will last you way longer. Just need to change the battery of the phone after like 4-5 years of use as the hardware is probably good enough to last you to up to Android 20

Anders, 21 May 2023No microSD = no buyLike you buy any phone other then HMD Nokia that your the biggest fan of that brand in this platform.
Use OTG for your data hoarding where you need to have all your life on one device.
Nobody can give common sense answer for what reason they need microsd slot for a phones that have more then 128GB storage on them. Also it's a trend of removing microSD card slots on phones as not a lot of middle class phones already are left that have it and flagships dont also have it.

For someone who doesn't really care about updates ,I would pick the the Poco F5 over Samsung a54 in a heartbeat. Poco F5 has a great display , a strong processor , 3.5mm jack , nice cameras, great battery etc etc . What else could I need
