I recently spotted the Poco F5 Pro for $390 and it appears to be almost new. Do you recommend this phone, or should I consider a different one? This is important as I won't be able to purchase another phone after this one.

I prefer the F5 because its price is affordable. The performance of the F5 can compete with other phones that might have better specifications, but come with a high price tag.

It's worse in emulation, check the benchmarks for zelda tears of kingdom and witcher 3. its like 10 fps difference. its because the gpu is weaker. Cpu similar.

Got a really good deal getting the F5 Pro for 400,00€. The only F5 feature I wanted was the Audio Jack, but I can live with a USBC to 3.5mm connector. I believe the F5 will be the best seller due to its price alone and the amazing chipset.

I agree with that, plus the Poco F5 features a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, has an audio jack, and offers similar features, but the F5 Pro has more to it and is significantly cheaper. Both phones excel in camera performance and gaming, but I would choose the F5 since it's more affordable for me compared to the F5 Pro.
