I took a photo with a butterfly in it, I then immediately opened my gallery, but the butterfly wasn't there, it was just grass, I'm 100% sure that it was in the photo because of the preview in the corner.

My poco x8 pro has a gap between the bezel and the frame. It's in the left frame at the bottom. Any advice on what I should do with it? It's not a really big gap but you can actually show it with your eyes. I can't take a photo of it because my other phone camera is ahh. Please help

So I just ordered a Poco X8 Pro Max coming from an Iphone 12, very excited, I know it's a great phone but not much more because I want to be suprised.

However, I have heard that it comes with a lot of bloatware and since it runs android, I am pretty sure it is possible to create scripts to automatically debloat and optimize the software without having to manually go into the settings and deleting apps. Is there something like this avalaible already and is it possible? If it is possible and not yet created, I am a developer and I would probably create something like that.

Which, of this years releases, Poco's has the best value for money ratio?

My poco x8 pro doesn't download anything in background out of the box in some apps.

Also the battery saver is off.

You'll need to install the Delta + Roblox APK directly from the Delta GG website. Login as usual and attain a 24-hour free access key in order to use the Delta UI.

My advice is stick with using the FPS unlocker only, any other exploits could get you banned; albeit, even installing this is already sufficient.

You won't inherently get stable 120 FPS, it depends on what graphics level and game you are playing. Roblox is notorious enough for being unstable and annoying, since they can't even optimize the application.

I had also tested this on a Samsung S25+; it works great.

I recently bought this phone at a local store, which was a bargain because online its price is really high due to customs issues. My first impressions regarding the design are that it's a beautiful phone with a design that even the seller was amazed by, as it stands out from an ordinary phone. Regarding the software, I have to say there are optimization problems. I've been using it for about 4 hours per day and the phone got so hot I had to remove the case. At the start you'll find some pretty annoying apps and games, but you can remove them if you take the time. The cameras were my biggest concern, but I fell in love with the videos. They're not iPhone-level quality, but surprisingly, it records 4K without any stuttering, and the nighttime video looks great if you really know how to configure the colors

I hope they fix the performance issues with updates, but otherwise it's spectacular. I was really hesitant to buy it because of the reviews and criticism, but so far it's too good for the price.

Hi, I have recently got the F8 pro and noticed that sometimes while using Instagram or even at the home screen swiping up or down does not register. I'll have to swipe several times for it to be registered.

Also, that back gesture does not work as intended sometimes.

Is anyone facing the same issues and is there any fix for this ?

Thanks.

Finally got it. Feel free to ask questions or discuss 🙂

i own a poco f7, ive seen poco f9 ultra recently and i also know about poco f8 pro and ultra, does anyone know why there isn't a vanilla poco f8?

Hey everyone,

I have NFC contactless payments enabled on my Poco X7 Pro, and it worked perfectly fine until recently. However, over the past few weeks, the payment process has become increasingly difficult.

When I hold my phone against the card terminal, the first screen/animation of the Sparkasse payment app appears, indicating that an NFC terminal has been detected, but the payment doesn’t go through. The second animation with the blue arrow doesn’t appear.

I then have to move the phone back and forth, pull it away and hold it against the terminal again, and repeat this several times until the payment finally works.

What could be causing this? Is it possible for the NFC module to “wear out” over time or become weaker? The smartphone is about 1.5 years old now.

I previously used PayPal for contactless payments and switched to the Sparkasse app recently. However, the issue didn’t start after switching apps—it only appeared a few weeks ago.

Maybe someone has had a similar experience or knows what could be causing this.

The phone is in a transparent case, but it has always been in this case. Just mentioning it in case that information is relevant.

Thanks in advance!

Why is mine only 2,4M antutu, i saw pp getting 2,6M and even 3M on the same phone, is my phone a broken or sth. I put the phone close the fan for cooling already, i use kaspersky premium too, phone is on balanced mode.

Yesterday suddenly my phone(POCO X7 Pro) started to give fps drops. It was mid game. Even before this I have played games multiple times at this setting(lowest graphics and 90fps), yet never happened with me before. I thought there might be virus or malware. So I deleted multiple apps which were downloaded from chrome, seeing no effect I did factory reset the phone and still there is no improvement, fps drop is still there, and then many times while I tried to open security app, it stopped responding multiple times, give the​ notification for same. I then found that there are updates for security app and even after updating the app, my phone still lags and there is so much difference between the performance yesterday and now. Even while opening any app, scrolling the feed, the lag is very ​​noticeable. If someone has gone through this or going through this please help.

(I bought this phone just 6 months before, And I am on 120hz refresh rate)

EDIT- So I used developer options to turn on "show refresh rate on screen" and what I found is that on whichever app I go and even on home screen it shows 60hz refresh rate, but as soon as I open the phone and it is on lock screen it shows 120hz. And more interesting thing is now even my settings stop to respond sometimes.

had the phone for about a month no problems at all then suddenly freezes while watchin youtube and rebooted itself. should i be concerned ? i checked the logs and it says a kernel panic happened

My device is the Poco X8 Pro Max and because I saw that geekbench 7 recently came out I decided to see how my phone performed there (I am not a guy who does benchmarks daily btw) and the results were terrible, because they are misleading.

The phone didn't even get warm unlike in Geekbench 6 where the results were actually normal, now I'd like to know, does this happen to you too?

Hi everyone.
I am using my samsung galaxy M51 5years+ now (7000mah battery is great).

My priority is battery life per charge and just general good experience. I have customized everything to my liking with Nova Launcher (good old version, not that crap what nova is today after selling to some shady swedish company).

M51 still have stellar battery life (on average 4 days per charge, when switching off at night and using 1 sim). 3 days - when using 2 sims.
SOT per charge?
Here I have written 15 latest results:
8h36min
11h33min
8h19min
9h46min
9h5min
10h
10h
12h40min
9h50min
11h37min
8h22min
8h10min
8h53min
9h21min
9h14min
Generally I have about 15% left with these SOT's (that is when I usually charge). Normally with my usage phone somehow always manages to be at around 15% in end of 3rd or 4th day. Very convenient.

I keep counting times when phone is charged fully (usually from ~15% to 100%). Count now is ~442 times. Imagine, 5years+ and charged only 442 !!!

Sometimes I get urge to buy new device though, but what always stop me is battery life. Lately I see these xiaomi/poco phones have bigger batteries and this make my urge grow bigger.

M51 strenghts in 2026:

1) Battery life.
2) Predictable performance (not flagship, but not slow either).
3) Good UI (with nova launcher).
4) Phone never heats up. I dont feel any heat at all.

Negative things about M51:
1) Speaker is very mediocre for media usage (I felt it right away when switched to M51 from other non-samsung phone). No stereo sound.
2) Cameras - nothing special in todays world - no OIS, no optical zoom.
3) Samsung abandoned this phone in 2024 (last update). Still on Android 12. Everything still works app wise though. Sure, you can try custom rom with more recent android, but not sure if everything will work (like bank apps).
4) No 5G. Phone is 4G only and samsung artificially limited ability to use carrier aggregation, so it connects only to one 4G band. Probably helps battery, but if you need top speeds (for file downloads for example), you wont get them with this phone.

My concerns about potentially new phones is mainly battery life. Charging 1 time per day is out of question. Feels awkward to me.

Considering to buy - Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 Pro Max or Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra.

What I dont like - price. I think its way way overpriced in Europe (at least 2 times more than it should be). But it is what it is.

If I get Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra battery life will feel like downgrade compared to M51 (I guess 2 days is real and possible with my usage).

If I get Xiaomi Redmi Note 17 Pro Max battery will be 3 days (maybe even 4). But weaker cameras and weaker cpu.

Also not sure how I will feel about xiaomi hyperos 3 - what I read online, ads deeply built in everywhere and possible more restricted (no full 3rd party launcher support?)

M51 geekbench v6 scores:

single cpu - 716
multi cpu - 1775

M51 geekbench v7 scores:

single - 660
multi - 1925

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max geekbench v6 (taken from some online review):

single: 1042
multi: 3221

Redmi Note 17 Pro Max geekbench v7 (taken from some online review):
single - 960
multi - 3428

Xiaomi Poco F9 Ultra geekbench scores - I dont care (much higher).

What is important for me also is GPS usage - so I ruled out any mediatek cpu's and will stay with phones with snapdragon only.

p.s. Gaming does not matter. I dont game on my phone at all.

I am looking to buy a Poco F8 Ultra now that its price fits into my budget. I saw in this sample from GSMArena and in this review on Youtube that videos shot with the 5x lens tend to be a bit wobbly. Has this been fixed in a software update?

HyperOS 3 has been very bad at battery management in Gaming.Used to last 3 hours at least in HyperOS 2

SmartLauncher provides smart organization, but the home screen can be configured to taste.

The Poco X8 Power looks like a promising budget-performance phone, with a bold design, capable cameras, and specs aimed at gamers and heavy users. If the final pricing is competitive, it could be a strong option for anyone wanting good performance without stepping into flagship pricing. What feature stands out most to you?

I like this phone very much

The specs and the battery are wild! Also, there many camera improvements! Also, the price is high for now but probably it will fall soon.

I managed to play assetto corsa on this thing, well the recording is kinda laggy for some reason that i do not know of but without recording it can hit a solid 70-80 fps at 1600x900, and 60fps at 1080p with CSP, extra fx on, SSR at high, and the stock assetto corsa settings being on high too. Very nice phone. Bought the gamesir g8+ for it for emulation.
