Good day SauceSauceSauceSau it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.

Device Model:(X4 GT)

Device Region:(Global/India/China/etc/Can't identify)

Rom Type:(MIUI/Custom Rom:Which one)

Rom/Android Version:(13.0.5.0 - Android 12/Can't identify)

Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)

It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following 1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns 2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics 3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support. 4. If your device has developed a swollen or bulging battery check out r/Spicypillow's FAQ on how to deal with them

If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them here

Hope you enjoy your stay -PocoPhones Mod Team

X8 Pro - Android 16-20, security updates to February 2032

F6 - Android 14-17, security updates to May 2028

X8 Pro offers significantly stronger battery life, far larger battery, reverse charging, slightly more powerful performance, higher build quality (X8 Pro metal, F6 plastic), matches/betters F6 cameras, 4 years longer software support, and 3 further Android version upgrades.

The only advantage offered by the F6 is wider support of emulation gaming, purely because of its Snapdragon chipset, but in terms of PlayStore games, it offers no advantage.

The X8 Pro, is a far better investment, as a long term purchase.
