Got a pop-up on a new Poco x8 pro max to fully charge & discharge the battery 3-5 times to Calibrate the battery. My assumption was that the battery is calibrated from the factory itself.
Has anybody got a similar message & is it required?
Update - Just observed after a manual reboot the battery cycle updated to 1 even without charging 😅
I've contacted the provider many times about this issue while gaming and normal browsing the connection disconnects all the time then i searched a app to find out the issue because while playing game ( standoff 2) my ping spikes from 45 to 200 then stable again and then again 150-200 so after downloading app (ping monitor) i noticed my ping spikes after every 5 seconds and while blutooth is on spikes after every 3 seconds while checking with phones with same Wi-Fi connection it's not spiking to much only around 5 to 50 so please if anyone knows what is the problem if my device is defective or the connection is broken I'll attach SS thanks.
Passive cooler: J02 v5 pro ($3)
Peltier fan: Ixgame bx9 ($15)
Tried light pvps with wild boost and the device's still colder than my hands. A bit overkill tbh.
im in a country where they don’t sell both phones locally so i have to order one internationally,
poco x8 pro max priced at 666 usd, but redmi turbo 5 max is priced at 490 usd, do you suggest buying redmi turbo 5 max??
Hello, I have an S25 Ultra I use for my social media handling, basic editing and posting on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook etc
I am having trouble with battery as I have to charge mid day sometimes due to heavy usage. Poco has always been my choice when I need a budget friendly performance phone, anyone switched from S25 ultra? How much battery difference I would notice.
I don't use S-Pen or shoot on my phone so camera is not a priority. I do have an iPhone 17 pro max for that purpose. Selling the S25 Ultra would also save me 250 dollars after buying the X8-PRO Max. TIA
Where I live, the cellular signal is very poor I have to rely on WIFi and voWifi (voice over wifi) to make and receive calls.
I want to ask Poco x8 Pro Max users, is this phone good at cellular signal reception and wifi reception?
Coming from Samsung a34 , i gotta say hyperos was pretty good expirence so far.
My biggest issue though is the gallery app, in Samsung when you launch the Gallery app, the latest picture you downloaded or captured is instantly ready to view.
On hyperos though, every time you launch the app, it needs few seconds to load the latest pictures, the more new pictures the more you wait which is annoying.
If its a camera photo, you will wait longer, i understand it takes time to process it, but overall the expirence is much worse than a Samsung midranger with less half the power.
Is there a way to improve the speed? Or is there a better alternative?
(first use was June 30-31st) Very Great Phone, I use it pretty often throughout my day and I never had an issue apart from slight overheating during VERY intensive gaming, but that's reasonable because the ambient temp is 25-30C here.
The times I charged the phone to 100% it would last me for the whole day with 0 problems and would let me continue into the next one.
Cameras are actually pretty good too, the only issue is the ultra-wide which is honestly just useless, aside from that the video, photos and everything else look far more than good enough for daily use.
The performance is never a problem, any game you throw at it, it will eat for breakfast, even the heaviest of games which made my phone use 2500-3000mAh in a constant drain still had the game running at 60 FPS with zero stuttering.
The screen is also very, VERY good and is great for outdoor use, even directly on sunlight. The bezels are absolutely tiny in size compared to the Poco X3 Pro, also, don't be fooled by the 6'83 inch display, it doesn't mean that the phone is taller or bigger in any sort of way, it just simply means that the screen area/space is bigger and when comparing it to my Poco X3 Pro (which is supposedly 6.67 Inches) it's actually shorter, but still has more screen area.
I am on the 12/256GB Blue model, and the color of the phone is actually very good looking, it actually looks like a combination of blue and white which is why it can sometimes appear as white, even though it's blue.
The Storage is plenty of enough along with the 12GB of memory, I could download loads and loads of games/movies before my device fills up the storage and I need to delete stuff, even though that will probably never happen.
The speakers are really great too, they sound extremely nice along with the 400% Volume Boost which works well and doesn't distort the sound at all.
Overall, for the value of this phone it gets a 10/10 for me, but as a regular phone it's a 9/10 and that's simply because of the camera.
Nowhere else will you find a phone for 400€≈ that gives you:
- a 8500mAh Battery which can charge in around 40 minutes.
- a flagship Mediatek Dimensity 9500s processor which can let you play any game at a good framerate with good graphics and works well in daily use.
- a screen as bright AND beautiful as this one
- 12GB of memory along with 256GB of storage.
- Speakers as loud and good sounding as this ones
- a premium build with an IP68 dust and water resistance.
oh, also, bloatware isn't a problem as that's easy to remove, the HyperOS software isn't bad either.
when I play audio(yt video) thru bluetooth after some time my poco x8 pro max completely freezes, crashes and restarts, had it happen two times already in a month
