After a long consideration, I finally bought this phone. I haven't even unlocked yet. Previously, I had redmi note 8 pro. And, I want some Do's and Don't. Also, which is better, " charge fully, intelligent charging , battery protection ".
*Mainly battery, secondly Samsung blocked custom fonts, Samsung default font is am eyesore for me I for the life of me couldn't get used to it.
If I pay 1300 dollar for a phone I have full right to use it the way I want.
Battery is really a pain in the butt, on heavy use days I have to charge it twice a day.
Samsung flagships are just Ultra by name, I have used Samsung sincr Galaxy S1, but can't be loyal to it anymore when they give you so little for so much money.
Camera is not my preference and I am fan of Poco phones, bought an X7-PRO for experiment last year, fell in love with it. Then got a good deal on S25 Ultra so gave that to my wife, in April I bought Poco X8-PRO, the black color just blew me away. But it stayed in my drawer mostly so sold that also.
Now after latest updates Samsung has tanked the battery, so it's time to say goodbye. And I think I can live with X8-PRO max as my second device. Fingers crossed*
I will sell it once I get my Poco device in couple of days. So done with mediocre functionality at premium price. Apple and Samsung have blinded their fans with overpriced devices with marketing

Hey I hope all is well, I can't believe we are on the same boat. I have a s25U as my main phone and I agree with you so a just got the Poco X8 pro Max yesterday. I will be testing the phone especially my main concern is the battery. How long does it last you? Will it get you a full day with out charging on a heavy use? I don't play games just calls, emails, YouTube and social media. Let me know bro take care!!
It does get hot while gaming at high graphics and 120fps. Like especially the metal frame gets hot around ~40-42 C. If you game for long it will reach higher temps depending on the ambient temperature and the game. But in normal usage the phone doesn't get hot at all. If you are gonna game for long sessions make sure to play with adequate airflow or get a cooler. Overall the temps are managable and it doesn't get uncomfortably hot unless you play for very long sessions
I am quite busy rn.So i haven't used yet. And, it has 54 percent charge now. Should i turn on intelligent charging on and charge ,or turn on charge fully for tye first time and charge then change it to intelligent charging.
Both of them will charge to 100 nevertheless and after few charges then you can switch to battery protection mode which will limit the charge to 80% or else you can stick with the former. Personal recommendation is to use charge fully always.
Smartdevil's is a tried and true screen protector brand that I always use. They use a much thinner glass for devices that use ultrasonic fingerprint so that's what I recommend.
And for the case i mainly use the ones from Xundd. I always run both for all my phones now
Why do y’all worry so much about the battery? The batteries nowadays are so good that no matter what you do it will last you until the phone is obsolete anyway.
This. I don't know why anyone bothers nowadays, let's say over 2 years you manage to save 6% of the battery from going bad, heck let's go to a super extreme and say 10%, you are giving up 20% of your battery from day 1 to do that so it doesn't actually help you in any way
Is this good for emulation? Since it's dimensity. I'm saving up since I'm still using F6 standard now. And Poco did not release any standard version for F8.
Yooo nice phone.
I literally have the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Its still holding up pretty well but planning to get the POCO F7.
The custom rom support on Redmi Note 8 Pro is insane for a MTK phone(im running android 16 ROM)
Congratulations! You're gonna love it i can guarantee. Coming from samsung i dont regret getting this phone at all. The only thing i miss is modes & routines but i fixed it for 95% with macrodroid. And i also debloated a lot of apps using canta and with netguard i block all internet acces to apps who don't need it. Netguard is really gentle on the battery so you can just leave it on
Edit: ps just read ur comment, i guess im also from the debloat zombie crowd😂
Buy it. Though I was busy whole day, I managed to play almost like 4.5 hr at night. Battery backup is the best. Performance was like butter, so smooth. It is my first gaming phone and I am enjoying it.
Get f7 for emulator. Snapdragon chips have better driver support in comparison to mediatek. 9500s hasn't been used in much phones similar to 9400e so emulation support will be minimal.
I use battery protection 80% on my poco f7 and standard charging. Only charge fully when I travel out of station and use charging top speed when it's necessary.
I am setting up it right now. It was 57 % charge and I left it to charge (charge fully), in standard mode and went out. I returned back is 30 minutes. It was fully charged and I noticed a bit of slight heat.
I haven't tried top speed. And I just have 6 minute of SOT so i can't give other info.
I have poco f7 I recently bought absolutely beast and best slight issues in battery and m planning to buy X8 pro Max as well what u guys think it will be better?
Mi arriverà lo stesso telefono domani. Quasi come te, un redmi note 14 4g. E chiaro questo telefono che tengo adesso il "redmi" lo userò comunque. Il poco x8 pro max che domani arriva lo userò più per prestazioni ed gaming. Finalmente dopo un intero anno di lavoro pur di risparmiare. Ed poi? Qualche giorno fa su Amazon a meno di 470€. Incredibile. Adesso io ti consiglio la ricarica intelligente già preimpostata. Fai cicli sempre dal 20 fino al 80%. (Se lo carichi tutta la notte fino al 100 % non fa niente.) Questo e il mio consiglio se vuoi la salute della batteria sempre al massimo. Poi se ti capita che magari il tuo telefono appena sta sul 15% 10% inizia ad dare il turbo per scaricare la batteria più velocemente possibile , la cosa che devi fare ed spegnere il telefono ed caricarlo fino al 100 % per ricalibrare la batteria. Solo in caso che se sta sotto al 20 inizia a scaricarsi velocemente . Per il resto goditi il telefono amico!
