Poco X8 pro Max Best Value for Money

Upgraded to the POCO X8 Pro Max 12GB/512GB variant today, and it is absolute Beast quality.

Put it through a real stress test right out of the box—edited a 4K video project in CapCut and the preview playback was butter smooth with zero lag. Then jumped straight into a full BGMI match; frame rates stayed rock solid, thermals were completely under control, and it only drained 2% battery total.

The optimization and performance on this thing are seriously impressive. If you’re looking for a beast for heavy editing and gaming, this easily gets a solid stamp of approval. Highly satisfied!

My POCO F9 Ultra came with a charger

I bought my POCO F9 Ultra and it came with a Xiaomi 100W charger in the box. I grabbed an adapter from Amazon since I'm in the US and I don't like the way it sits in the wall. Since the phone supports 100W PPS, I grabbed a 140W Baseus charger from Amazon, that supposedly supports 100w but when I plug the phone to it, it just says "Mi turbo" however when I plug the Xiaomi charger it says 100W on the phone display.

Are there any 3rd party chargers with multiple ports that can charge my POCO at 100W?

EDIT: after some research, almost all cuktech chargers support Xiaomi hypercharge. So that's an option. Newer Xiaomi phones support PPS too which my Baseus charger supports however needed is a 6A charging cable, so not any cable can trigger the PPS protocol. I ordered a cuktech 6A cable

HyperOS 4

Do you guys think HyperOS 4 will be a big update over to the HyperOS 3.1? They said the system will use RAM less than the HyperOS 3 and they say whole system rewroted at rust

Never realized how sick the weather app looks

Never opened this app until today since getting this phone last month. The way the clouds and raindrops interact with the UI looks so cool to me. My first thought when seeing this was "I wonder if I can make this a live wallpaper." So does anyone know any apps that can do that? I'd love a live wallpaper that updates based on the current weather.

POCO X8 PRO MAX : THE FINALE

After careful consideration and thinking i have finally concluded to take the mobile . Now majority of my concerns lie in debloating and maintaining of the phone for longer battery life and better UI . if anyone installed any camera software to upgrade it please suggest I'm not too keen on cameras but having a better one would be nice for occasional selfies . If you think I'm stepping on a sinking ship by taking it please suggest me better options under 50k . I'm currently observing the 512 GB version. Thank you .

Is this even normal ?

So I just bought my Poco x8 pro 512/8 (disable ram extension) on October 1st and since then Idk what is going on with the battery specially that idle/stand by drain it just doesn't make any sense Like am not even getting those 8 hours of Sot

My usage is so light from social media platforms to YouTube and very rare camera usage along with less SOT itself like I use my phone less than 8 hours a day but what am facing is just crazy No?

Like I charged it to 100% standard speed overnight at 6:00 am and by the time of this post it is 4:00 pm (next day) and I only got Hardly 6 hours of SOT in a day and a half of no charge.any thoughts?

P.S: I have already debloated and deleted IG App before the whole thing

My POCO M6 won't turn on (pls help)

I was using it as usual, watching TikTok, until I decided to restart it. I felt like I needed to. I saw it turn on, but I decided to let it rest...

Fifteen minutes later I tried to turn it on and absolutely nothing happened. I plugged it in because I thought it might not have a battery, but nothing, not even a reaction.

I started to get scared when I saw that my phone wasn't responding and decided to try fastboot, absolutely nothing happened and as of the day I'm posting this, 5 days have passed and it still won't turn on

I don't have a PC or any other device, and I don't want to spend money because my financial situation isn't the best right now. Could you help me? I really have some unbacked-up information.

I AM BUYING A SECONDHAND F8 PRO AND I NEED HELP

Hi.. I just joined this subreddit.. Previously, I would buy a brand-new POCO X8 PRO 8G/256G in my next payday near my area on a store. However upon discovering that that model isn't that good for emulation purposes, I searched everywhere until I find a used F8 Pro 12G/256G in FB Marketplace from a seller that was "trusted by local tech reviewers" that is only a little bit expensive compared to the brand-new one. How should I look for a used POCO F8 Pro phone to ensure that I didn't get completely scammed in the end?

Dual-band Wi-Fi speed boost

Dual-band Wi-Fi speed boost. Does anyone know how to permanently disable this crap? I disable it in the options, but it turns back on after a while.
