MIUI was much better than Hyper OS. Superman wallpaper was removed from Hyper OS

X6 pro has latest specs even ufs 4.0 but still cheaper than f5 (at least in here), unfortunately it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack which is deal breaker for me

Today, F5 is cheaper than X6 Pro. Those who prefer SD will easily choose F5 especially since the price argument is gone.

The reviews and durability tests suggest that the Poco X6 Pro has some low-quality components. I've already purchased it and found it to be very lightweight, and the materials used seem rather poor. I am aware that we all use screen protectors and back polys to protect it. However, I have a few concerns: - Is a 4MB L3 cache sufficient? - Is there any way to underclock the GPU for regular use, to prevent overheating and battery drain?

To underclock your GPU, you simply need to open the Battery Saver mode on your Xiaomi phone. My phone indicates that it uses less GPU and CPU power in this mode (information sourced from my phone).

Which one is better for gaming? I think MediaTek 8300U might be better. I don't always trust benchmarks. In GPU gaming, 8300U gives superior performance. For gamers, this could be a great choice.

With the new Joyose update v2.3.16, the X6 Pro now has the same level of optimization as any other Snapdragon phones, which I believe will be a game changer in the future. I've already purchased it, and the gaming experience is pretty good. However, I am bothered by the lack of app support in Android 14. Android 14 only supports 32 bit or X86 APK. There is no support for 32 bit/X86. I understand that this might not be a deal-breaker for everyone, but for someone who plays 18+ games, it is an issue. These games don't get updates or have a lack of development mostly, and do not support this phone or any other newer Android 14 devices without a PC.

Currently, I don't believe that Hyper OS is better than MIUI 14. After updating to Hyper OS on my Poco F5, I'm experiencing battery drain issues. Additionally, some themes that were working perfectly fine on MIUI 14 are now causing problems in Hyper OS.

The 7+ Gen2 is definitely superior. It boasts better CPU performance. Even the GPU performance is better because its frequency is just 580MHz, meaning it's underclocked. Contrarily, the 8300U has an overclocked GPU frequency of 1400MHz.

Everything is superior in the X6 Pro, but there's one aspect in which the F series excels - it provides a more relaxing experience.

Are you simply overlooking the facts? You have claimed that it's superior across the board, but when comparing CPUs, the 7+ Gen2 is significantly stronger. Take a look at the single-core results on Geekbench. It's not just apparent on this site, but it's a universally accepted observation. Furthermore, considering the Antutu CPU score, the 7+ clearly performs better. So, how is the 8300u supposed to be superior?

Muhammad, The component that primarily aids you while gaming is the GPU; the CPU doesn't have as much of a role in gaming. That said, the CPU is critical for processing videos and other tasks. Pairing a good CPU with a GPU can yield a processor that's highly suitable for gaming. For instance, take a look at the Snapdragon 695 or Dimensity 7030; their CPUs are quite robust, but sadly, they aren't equipped with equally strong GPUs. Moreover, it's not just about the processor. The X3 Pro, for example, has a better display, an in-display fingerprint sensor, superior RAM, and better storage. That's why it's considered superior.

Essentially, the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is a high-end, underclocked chipset, while the Dimensity 8300 is a mid-range, overclocked chipset.

SD is just for day-to-day use; the best option, but gamers select 8300 as it is a more powerful GPU. Adreno GPU gaming x6 pro is the best option.
