It has per app refresh rate setting in "Display" settings, so that part is true. The headphone is alright, I'm not noticing any difference when using my Sony XM3 wired plugged in.

Surprisingly It doesn't heat up when charging via 67W, but Poco F5 does feel warmer when you transfer data over the USB 2.0 port,when I was transferring data from F3 to F5 via cable.

And the F5 feels warmer than F3 under heavier use, not sure whether it means better heat dissipation or poor insulation.

Overall, hardware wise, F5 is currently a win (except for the worse stereo speakers), software wise, F5 feels like a 5/10 software experience in its early state, whereas F3 was a 7/10 software experience for me. My camera backup, Pixel 4a 5G has a 9/10 software experience for my taste.

Can i use the 67W poco F5 charger to charge my other redmi/poco phone who only supports 18W and 33W? is there any bad adverse effect on the phone battery?

As mentioned by other poster, no it will not have adverse effect on your phone. You can use it to charge your other phones

any redmi note 12 turbo/rn12t users here? can share your experience?

i ordered an rn12t 16g/1tb model just 2 weeks before poco f5 launching, unknowingly what will happen

after reading that poco f5 only offered as max 12/256gb only, i am glad i procced with the rn12t

really need that 1tb storage to replace my 512gb galaxy note9

now awaiting permission to unlock bootloader then flash to xiaomi.eu

Xiaomi eu wont have problem with banking or ewallet app in malaysia? Or u can actually relock bootloader becuase ura is china set?

that issue, i read we need to configure it to pass safetynet
somehow there is a way,

but if it cannot work later, there is always poco f5 rom to flash to

I have Xiaomi eu installed on my F2 Pro with no issue. I can use my banking apps just fine and it passes safety net.

I am considering Xiaomi 13 Lite or F5 cause its about the same budget. Performance i know F5 is alot better but how about the camera? as i am buying it for my father who is used to his F1.

F5 camera is better than F1. And did you mean Xiaomi 12 Lite? Because Xiaomi 13 Lite not in Malaysia yet.

If between Xiaomi 12 Lite and Poco F5, Poco F5 is the better buy.

yeah F5 is worth it if its significantly better than F1. unfortunately totally out of stock on shopee.

rn12t doesnt support Malaysia 5G. I'm not sure if install eu rom will solve this issue. Pls update if it can support 5G after flashing eu rom.

Does your flash illuminate at both segments?
Looks like only one side is turning on.

Thanks that is good to know. I don't think I can carry 2 phones with me haha I'll make do with the F5 camera and use dslr when needed. Software side really nothing much can do if the updates are slow and don't want to use custom ROM, it is something I knew before buying it. Still if it is durable then no regrets

Hi, just checking. I tried to plug in USB-C cable directly to transfer files from my old Poco F2 Pro to the new F5. When it's detected, there was a prompt to select either Downloads or Camera Importer. So we should choose Downloads to perform the transfer ya?

Hi again, please help to check your F5 flash module if it's 1 led or 2 led. I might have a lemon and want to return. On my unit only the bottom part is turning on. Tq

i do not have a 5g line to test anymore,,,, which telco are you using? what bands are used for our 5g line anyways? my understanding, all our 5g use 78 SA/NSA, that both f5 and rn12t supported,,

just tested, mine also only the bottom led turns on

Thanks for checking and reply.
Such a gimmick to make it look like dual led flash.

ya,,
faux dual flash
faux big big dual camera island ring
i ordered a black unit to hide abit those camera ring,,,

I think the white is more camouflage then the black, no?
