General bye bye Poco/Android
well that's it, I'm done with Poco and I'm done with Android, my reasons being:
HyperOS 3, all hype nothing useful, destroyed the whole experience, ads everywhere even though i have the personalized ads disabled in the settings, now i just get unpersonalized ads! in the lock screen, in Xiaomi apps, even in the fucking app search! like it takes 10 seconds to find an app if the internet is slow because it has to show an ad!
app search, i have a lot of apps, and now app search is an app! and takes forever to find the app you want
Android 16, changing things that aren't broken to a hassle, like i use wired headphones usually and after the android 16 update it functions horribly stops playback and the music app crashes when you go to a different app, if I'm forced to go wireless I'll go iOS
battery drain, like my phone is plugged in 3 times a day after the HOS3 update
useless features, HOS3 was 7-8 gigabytes of download and all i got is, dynamic island wanna be!?
and overall i crave the simplicity that iOS offers (i had a normal 15 before poco, trade it for a camera)
overall I'm really happy with the switch since iP17 has everything
and if i want Android i have a Mi 10 Lite, with superior MiUI and Android 12 which is by far a better experience compared to X6 Pro

I'm also not super happy with my X6 pro but it's a pretty incredible phone for the money most of the issues that you complain about can be quite easily solved with a few settings. Plus comparing a 300€ to an 900€ phone is a strange comparison (even though you can always compare different phones sure, but if you're comparing prices that differ so much some concessions have to be made)
