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.

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

Did you get the ultra's update via normal OTA or changed region trick?

Try turn off WiFi and use 5g/4g if all else fails (ie clear data/cache)

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
