    What's the camera like, is it anywhere near say the S21?

      Nope this is budget phone

      Short answer, no.

      It's decent enough for the price and provides plenty of usable shots, even further improved by using a gcam port.

      But no, it's not comparable to a flagship that used to retail for over $1,000 and at it's cheapest is still around $600.

    • mr626 on 10/08/2022 - 20:15

      Wondering about this to, if it would be comparable or better than my Poco X3 NFC camera

      Edit: purely going by this comparison I'd say the X4 Pro camera is slightly better

    I was surprised to get some SMS spam from Hekka the other day, my Poco classed it as spam and it ended up straight in spam & blocked folder, lol

    (I didn't make an account with them, I used Paypal checkout, they must have harvested my phone number from there)

    • Clear on 10/08/2022 - 19:56

      I have never received SMS spam from them but I'll feed it back to them.

        The message was along the lines:

        They are so poor. They need to put adds in their apps. Not like recommended products but Google adds.

      What's wrong with Miui? I've got a Poco X3 Pro and have no problems with it.

      • FLICKIT on 10/08/2022 - 20:42
        +5

        I'm the same, I disabled the ads on my X3 Pro when I first got it so there's been no issues there, and in general I have nothing bad to say about it, great phone for the money IMO… (8GB/256GB = $300ish)

        Guide to disable ads:

        There's plenty of other guides around…

        I have posted many times that miui 13 update stuffed my new Xiaomi phone and they don't have any support I have spent months trying to fix it and the Xiaomi support site has hundreds of complaints about MIUI software causing massive faults that Xiaomi don't fix .Do your research first .

            @FLICKIT: I'm running Miui 13.0.14 and it's great. The update improved the camera dramatically, especially in low light. Zero problems.

          I've used Xiaomi phones since 2016. Miui had it's fair share of bugs for years but it got better slowly with time.

          Up until 12.5 enhanced edition it could be a bit of a shit show I agree. But I've had no issues on miui 13 on my Poco F3.

      • mckayver on 10/08/2022 - 21:43

        Same here. I have redmi note 11 pro 5g and i have no problems with Miui. People say ads, what ads. I don't have any annoying pop-up ads. Camera is pretty good too. I like xiaomi phones,bang of buck.

        TBH my I used my X3 pro 8/256 for a year and had no problems at all. Bought it for 315 and sold it after one year for 375.
        X4 is no way near it.

        • CheepAsChips on 12/08/2022 - 02:19

          agreed. Xiaomi model numbering system is odd. I believe the F 3 or F4 series would follow the X3 pro.

    • clubhonda on 10/08/2022 - 20:36

      What problem is that? I've got that exact phone and haven't noticed any issues.

        Read some of the comments, you'll find others with global version phone hard bricked due to pmic

        • clubhonda on 11/08/2022 - 09:29

          Is it cheaper to buy POCO from India? I've bought mine from Aliexpress which is straight from the source, which I think would be cheaper. Why would people be buying an Indian version of the phone?

          • FLICKIT on 11/08/2022 - 11:19
            +1

            @clubhonda: The Indian ones have never appeared here on OzB, I assume they're only sold in India… I believe the global version was made in China and the Indian version made in India, the Indian version seems to have more issues, I dont know if it's a manufacturing defect, or maybe that factory was sent a dodgy batch of PMIC chips from China, or maybe it's just the hot climate in India that contributes…. I've also read the ones manufactured around April 2021 have the issue more than others…

            Last year when I first looked at the Poco people seemed to think it was an issue with the soldering, if they overheat the solder joints would get dodgy… … I wonder if the issue is due to their PMIC chip (Power management integrated circuit) not really being able to handle the amount of power they're putting through them…

            Personally I'm not bothered by it, I dont really hammer mine, I only use it as a phone and in the car/boat/hiking for running mapping and marine chart software, and occasional SD videos, nothing particularly demanding or power hungry… I also purchased it from Amazon with a 2yr warranty so hopefully if I do have issues I'll be covered…

    • FLICKIT on 10/08/2022 - 20:51

      Is that the issue people were having with the Indian made version, it seemed to happen when they get too hot, watching vids while fast-charging and such?

      • Bretttick on 10/08/2022 - 22:20

        Yeah mainly Indian version but heard a few global versions have problem also.

        I've had my poco x3 pro now for about a year and I've had few issues with touch screen that have me worried as it is one of the faulty pmic symptoms.

        I'm hoping new flash to a12 will fix the issue, won't know I only just flashed the phone yesterday with aarow is a12, was too lazy to backup all data but phone touch has been really bad the past 2 months.

        I was gonna try and recalibrate pmic but seems complicated

        • V1p3r on 11/08/2022 - 06:52

          I had touch issues but once I flashed NoGravity it all went away.

          Now to fix my random reboot issue…

          • Bretttick on 11/08/2022 - 15:31

            @V1p3r: Why don't you try aarow os, flash with latest TWRP the aarow recovery is terrible imo

    Is this line or the 'F' line of POCO phones better? I have an F1 and it was great value for the features at the time but now looking to upgrade.

    Wondering whether to go for the new one or spend more cash and get something with a bigger brand-name. Camera is the top priority, the F1 was fantastic, better than my partner's iPhone.

  • jolt on 10/08/2022 - 20:41

    F is for Flagship … Not sure that it actually is a flagship, but it's the top of the line in the Poco range.

    I seriously don't recommend Hekka.

    Don't expect any support if anything happens with your device.

    "Customer Support" arent responding to my emails regarding my Anbernic RG351V a roughly $90 purchase. It's been over two weeks and I'm getting all sorts of excuses.

    You have been warned!

    I am a light to moderate non gamer phone user, owned Xiaomi Poco X4 pro unmodified since April, now version MIUI Global 13.0.14, no problems at all and represents reasonable value.
    My main criteria were crisp & responsive display - amoled. Long battery uptime. Quick 30 minute low to full recharge. Upto date camera. Snapdragon cpu. Reasonable build quality. Main use google, you tube, calls & txt, gps. ( thank goodness Bangladesh make jeans with 7" front pockets).
