does the new pocophones like F7 still have the bloatwares like mi video and themes app with ads
*
even most expensive global flagship 15 ultra got bloatwares video / music / app mall inside. for themes app is still needed for customize wallpaper/ringtones, can turn off ads within settings

now my debloat list which focus on just ximi thing only (other than jewtube/music)

1. browser (i use samseng browser which is at least much better than ximi one)
2. video player (now os2 got a barebone player version within gallery so safe to debloat mi video app)
3. music player (just fking use spotify/jewtube/apple/vlc/whatever amp)
4. app mall/mipicks/getapps. it will hijack system app updater. so make sure reboot after debloat
5. msa global
6. analytics
7. system daemon
8. gamecenter

Anyone using F7 Ultra, how your battery life?

I've seen others mention that the idle battery life for HyperOS2 isn't that great.
*
It's okay. If casual use still can tahan up to 2 days. If normal use 1 day from morning to midnight okay. Much better than 1.5+ years f5 with os2

Thanks for the heads up. Forgot to mention that I'm coming from the F3 so I'm familiar with the "ads" and hyperOS. Just wonder if there's any known bugs or issues with the first batch of F7 Pro.
*
display qc, some batch may have screen black crush/gray unifornity issue on certain low-ish brightness, some even get light saber within month

what.. 2 days ..thats is very long.
My f7 pro only can last 24hours . So need to charge everyday.
WAit.. so your 2 days is 48 hours right ?
*
I got f7u alongside my f5 (f5 still main but rear cover loosen already), f7u I might use for occasionally for gps and web (no fb install), no game

F5 still my main because it's much lighter and thinner. F7u can definitely feel the weight close to Samsung ultra already

Owh prob thats the reason.
I use it for everything.
F7 pro specs supposed to last longer vs F7 ultra.
But the elite proc is very efficient.
*
Ya I agree. 8 elite is bloody efficient and may offset some of extra backgrounds shit running in that hyper shit os (yeah I still need manually done debloating some of in house adwares and telemetry thing anyway)

As I see from some Xiaomi/Poco with 6000mah, 15 ultra (chn 6000/global 5400+) is exceptional great at battery, but Poco with slightly worse/older ones are not so great despite with 6000mah

Just got my F7, normal xiaomi experience so far.
Paid 1.4k for it.. back then I paid 1.7k for F5
Phones sure have gotten cheaper. laugh.gif

Anyone knows how to change control center style to old one?
Seems like xiaomi doesn't put that option for whatever reason

Is hyperos ui and system apps generally the same across the Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco range? Or does Poco have more ads, different system apps, that sort of thing?
And how is hyperOS these days? What are the ongoing issues?

I'm thinking about the F7 (and Nothing 3a, A56) for a phone with wider display.
*
Most systems apps are the same except for launcher

What's the latest firmware for ultra via OTA?
I'm still on 2.0.106.0
*
2.0.201 mixm. New camera UX with cleaner layout especially on pro mode

Plus July security patch



Lol mixed up with f5 2.0.203... seems number doesn't really matter


I noticed for both F7 and F5, their Google play system stuck on April 2025, but my Samseng s22 already got July 2025

just ordered a F7 ultra to make it my second backup phone. my main phone is iPhone 15.
16GB RAM 512GB ROM RM2,299 via shopee Poco official online store.

i used to have a redmi 12 since 2023, so i'm kinda gotten used to HyperOS with its ads, even when want to access the File Manager or Photo gallery. LEL

let say if i wanted to a fb live streaming about an hour with ultra in an airconditioned hotel hall for a conference, can it last without getting the overheat error?
how's the thermal management for this phone?

i surveyed iQoo 13 previously but I am not familiar with FunTouchOS. iQoo is sub-Vivo company yes?
*
It's okay if just streaming normal video

What challenge most for cooling is heavy gaming especially on demanding gacha games from certain M studio or others

Also careful not to overstress or else screen may generate issues like vertical lines/snow "no signal " effect/black screen... Because the screen of F7 series are quite fragile and have kinda poor QC



iqoo is under vivo... In some vivo flagship store like pyramid got small section showing selection of iqoo model like neo10/13

Just updated F7 Pro to HyperOS 3 and apparently there's no way to remove the "hide keyboard" button. dry.gif

Something to do with Google GMS requirements, it's also there in one UI 8 but if use Samseng keyboard will show voice typing additional to down arrow

Google requirements also killed the background play/screen off option in game turbo toolbox as well previously

Seems like MSRP nothing significant changed (small raise) after exactly 8 months

Just need look for next month 12.12 if want a bit cheaper


(Ps: 16 512 version significant more pricier because of ram supply issues it seems)
