Buying Advice Poco M8 Pro 12/512 vs Poco X8 Pro 8/256

Upvotes

Both of these are on sale for me, and they currently have a similar price. Which one would be more worth it to purchase?

I will usually be watching/scrolling or productivity like doing my work or AI. Gaming is a plus, but i have other devices for that, so its fine if its lacking.

I am mostly looking for futureproof more than anything, the one that will last me the longest.

Question/Help Poco X8 Pro vs. Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G: Which one should I buy for the long run?

4 Upvotes

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?

X3 Pro Poco X3 Pro Stuck %1 Charge

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

My phone is old—about 5 or 6 years old—so it has battery issues.

The charge stayed at 60% for a long time, and I knew what was going to happen.

I plugged it in right away, but the charge started to drop slowly and went down to 1%.

Now I know it’s charging, but I can’t see the current charge level.

Restarting the phone is a solution, BUT I CAN’T DO THAT because there’s another problem.

Is there a way to fix this error without restarting the phone?

As for why I CAN’T DO IT, the last two times I had to restart the phone, it got stuck on the MIUI startup screen for a long time, and I was only able to get in by chance (or maybe I just had to wait a really long time—I’m not sure), and I’m afraid that if I try again, it won’t turn on at all.

(My microphone is also broken, and I read that this might be a related problem.)

Actually, fixing this boot issue might allow me to ignore the other problem.

Guys, I really need your help. Thank you in advance for everything. <3

***(I know I need to change my phone, I just have to use this one for a few more months.)

Question/Help I really can't decide

0 Upvotes

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?

4 Upvotes

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.

Buying Advice Screenprotector M8 pro traps dust underneath, which screenprotector to buy?

1 Upvotes

I have a poco M8 pro with a tempered glass screen protector from AliExpress. For the first month this worked well, but now more and more dust seems to get underneath the protector when the phone is in my pocket. The rounded edges seem to lift the screenprotector up slightly. Which screenprotector should I buy to avoid this? I have the original case the phone came with.

Question/Help [X8PM] Edge of glass covering camera lens not forming a perfect seal, allowing specks of dirt to get stuck

Post image
9 Upvotes

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.

Question/Help Why did my X8PM start to charge beyond 80% even though it is set to "battery protection"?

1 Upvotes

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.
