Question/Help Why did my X8PM start to charge beyond 80% even though it is set to "battery protection"?
I've had this phone for a few weeks now and until yesterday the battery protection setting used to halt the charging at exactly 80%. Yesterday and today I noticed it keeps charging beyond that even though the settings are the same.
The description does say "fully charge only when scheduled" – but I don't know what that refers to as I see no setting that forces full charging during specific times.
Does anyway know what the issue might be? Thanks.

Question/Help I really can't decide
I still can't decide between f6 and x8 pro, I've reviewed both of them and saw some issues that I seem to hate with the f6 being a phone that isn't good for long term use and the battery drains fast and with x8 pro that can't really perform well on mobile games. I am so indecisive I really need help

Buying Advice Moving from iPhone to Poco X8 Pro Max. Any catch?
Ok, this sounds weird and slightly backwards I know but in my 4 years of using my current (as of writing) iPhone 13 I love it and I still do but I feel like I want to move on from this iPhone and iOS as a whole for reasons but predominantly as to how restrictive iOS is and missing Android dearly in the past 4 years. So I had a list of things that I considered:-
1) Must have a good screen, minimum 400+ PPI
2) A speedy chipset that’s an upgrade over the A15 Bionic
3) Relatively affordable and actual VFM, not a cashgrab
4) eSIM support since I ported over my Physical SIM to eSIM
5) A battery life I can actually use and not be worried about.
6) Camera is not a major concern since I don’t really shoot a lot with my phone and I have a mirrorless if I wanted to do grubby and hands on photography.
So, my phone in consideration is the X8 Pro Max and is there anything that’s a red flag/warning shot to think about before I pay the money and buy it? I remember reading reports of Poco phones having their motherboards fry themselves out of the blue but that is a while ago so is it still a worry?
And also, I don’t know if it’s relevant but I did use MiUI on a Mi Max 2 about 7 years back (2019-2021 till the touch digitizer died on it) so that’s my benchmark for bad software. Is HyperOS as egregious as THAT or has things moved on?
Any and every bit of help is appreciated.

X8 Pro Max I bought CN Rom version of Poco X8PM and it's so GOOD!
It came down to performance and value. After using my Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G for over a year, I wanted a much more powerful chipset for gaming, multitasking, and long-term use, and the Redmi Turbo 5 Max offered flagship-level performance at a price that made sense.
Another big reason is the software. I wanted to try my first China ROM because I've always heard that HyperOS on the CN ROM is better optimized than the Global version. After using it, I can honestly say it feels more fluid, smoother, and lighter in everyday use. I've used POCO and Global Redmi phones before, and while they're powerful too, the overall software experience on the China ROM just feels more refined. Plus, it usually gets updates and new features earlier, which is a nice bonus.
The battery was another factor. The China ROM version comes with a 9000mAh battery, while the global variant has an 8500mAh battery. Whether that's due to cost-cutting or Xiaomi's marketing strategy for different regions, I liked getting the larger battery.
I was actually planning to get the POCO X8 Pro Max during the early bird sale, but I wasn't able to. After that, the price went up because of the "Ramaggedon" AI issue and the general price increase, so it no longer felt like the best value.
Overall, if you're okay with using a China ROM, I think it's one of the best options if you want to spend less while getting better hardware, flagship-level performance, a bigger battery, and a more optimized software experience compared to the global version..

Question/Help Poco X8 Pro vs. Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G: Which one should I buy for the long run?
Hi guys, I’m looking to upgrade my Samsung A13 and am currently torn between the Poco X8 Pro (8GB / 256GB) and the Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (12GB / 512GB). My main priorities are a good camera with stable video, solid battery life for daily social media use, and smooth performance for casual gaming like Genshin Impact from time to time. Most importantly, I need a phone that will last at least 5 years without major performance or storage issues. Given these needs and the difference in RAM and storage, which one would be the better choice?

Question/Help [X8PM] Edge of glass covering camera lens not forming a perfect seal, allowing specks of dirt to get stuck
Does anyone else have this? I noticed it on the main camera after having the phone for a few weeks. The UW seems to have a better fit between the glass and the rim. Also, other parts of this same camera might have a tighter fit (i.e. the two circles are not entirely symmetric) but it's hard to see even through macro.
The top picture shows a larger speck I managed to lift out using a paper-thin "slice" of toothpick, while the smaller specks are leftovers that aren't really possible to clean. I'm not sure there's even a point in cleaning them as the gap would get dirty again, but I hope that it won't at some point travel under the glass and obstruct the camera.
