There is an old saying that says 'Buy cheap - Buy twice' and this is true with this company.

For me more important is performance in a phone for lower price.
I am not willing to spend more money on a phone just to have more updates with it.
Also updates have risks and some brands even make there last update to drain the battery more or slow down the performance just so you go buy a new phone from them. Apple have done that and also Sumsung have done that in the past. And both got caught with it.
You basically spend something 800 euro to get 300k less in Antutu v10 performance with the Pixel 8 Pro over this Poco F5 just to get more android updates and security updates. Is that really worth that more 400 euro ?
Also security updates wont guarantee you safety as app will collect your data and sell it or use it or give it to policing institutes. Like one of the 3 digit US institute that demanded all people data who watched some specific video in few months ago. Just was news about it.
Safety is just illusion for people that are easy to manipulate
In the end of the day if the safety is concern for you then turn off internet and GPS in your phone and never turn them on. Just remember everything you write or upload will stay in the internet forever and be impossible to remove.

I won't be going back to Xiaomi, if they can't look after their customers then they can't expect to keep them.
Does this phone have physical proximity sensor?

Recently i updated my system. Unfortunately my fingerprint sensor not working properly. Fingerprint hardware got some issues. There is no patch update they are not providing. Its not physical issue.it's technical issue,but customer care person recommended for physical service. I need a update. But they are not ready to give.

Would be nice if they give me the latest security update like March when they release it in the middle of that month that is. But your phone have some issues or something that you still have so old update. Do you even have hyberOS update on your phone ? If not then dont even hope to get security updates with it.
You should try to change region in your phone to get updates and when updated then change back to your own region.
With my last phone i needed to change region to India to have face unlock function working

security updates only for bypassing to phone after all when your phone stolen or lost.
in xiaomi you only need xiaomi account and find devices if your phone stolen or lost just like iCloud
The last Security Level update I received was dated 01-11-2023 which makes it over 5 months old. I shouldn't be surprised at that because everyone knows that Xiaomi doesn't look after their customers when they have a newer model in the pipeline they want to sell. I'm on the lookout for a new phone but it won't be a Xiaomi model . I have noticed that the Pixel 8 Pro is dropping in price now that the Pixel 9 is due soon. I don't particularly like that phone but I know that it will receive monthly updates for years to come.
Xiaomi, please make a poco f5 mini! 5.8 to 6 inch. that would be so perfect!

Spanky, 19 Mar 2024It’s even less likely to be used, now that the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 gets released.Yet SD7 non Plus G1 is still being recycled.
Anonymous, 26 Mar 2024Just wait until april/may, poco f6 will launch with 7+ gen 3 that can compete with 8300It has been confirmed that the Poco F6 will use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and a Sony main sensor, but I expect that the price will also be about 100 euros higher, so the Poco X6 Pro will probably still be the better bang for the buck!
Mickey, 26 Mar 2024Well If you hit on X6 pro you will not get Custom ROM support..and this one has also don'... moreX6 Pro did come with HyberOS so that wont be as easy as it was with MIUI to get bootload open to get to install custom rom on a phone and yeah it's with Mediatek chip with what you cant do it anyways. But even with Snapdragon chips all the phones that now come out of the box with HyberOS the solution to open the phone wont be easy anymore and it wont take only few weeks to unlock to get a custom rom to install on them
Also X6 Pro was promised to have 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates. As that was the promise with all 2024 phones with out of the box HyberOS phones
X6 none Pro version with Android 13 yeah but it's already on 14 and you talk about 15 that is just released on beta stage and that 15 be out end of the year like the 14 come in November or something
johan007nl, 24 Mar 2024Which is better,this one or Poco X6 pro???🤔🤔🤔Well If you hit on X6 pro you will not get Custom ROM support..and this one has also don't have good policy software support (2 Android and 3 yrs of sec patch,what dk.you expect) And X6 pro gives you about Android17-18 support but no custom rom support
If you buy X6 ut ships with Android13..and valid upto Android 16 (Android15 is came recently amd that's the big scam for Xioami)
johan007nl, 24 Mar 2024Which is better,this one or Poco X6 pro???🤔🤔🤔Just wait until april/may, poco f6 will launch with 7+ gen 3 that can compete with 8300
johan007nl, 24 Mar 2024Which is better,this one or Poco X6 pro???🤔🤔🤔It depends both are good for gaming...but would prefer snapdragon variant well optimized also for custom ROMs various modems u will find u will get the vegan leather option here(yellow) u can use device without back case no fingerprints, scratches etc android 14 out of the box, in-display fingerprint scanner....the only case I would suggest f5 if u want 3.5 mm audio jack so bad then only otherwise x6 pro
