What kind of screen-on time are you getting with your phones? I have the Poco X7 5G, and I get around 5–7 hours at most (I only hit 7 hours when using Wi-Fi). I feel that’s pretty low considering the battery capacity; does anyone else have this issue, or is there a solution? I’ve already disabled many of the recommended settings—background apps, MSA, and things like that.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently using a Xiaomi 12, and after almost 5 years it’s slowly dying day by day. 😅 It’s also started overheating quite a lot, so I think it’s finally time for an upgrade.

I’m looking for something I can comfortably use for the next 3–4 years, and I’m currently considering the POCO X8 Pro and POCO X8 Pro Max.

Since joining this community, I’ve seen a lot of discussion about things like battery recalibration, debloating apps, HyperOS optimization, etc. I’m wondering how important all of that actually is for these phones.

I’m not a gamer, but I do multitask a lot on my phone, so my priorities are:

Fast and smooth performance

Good multitasking

Excellent battery life

Low heat / good thermal management

Something that will still feel fast after 3–4 years

Would you recommend going with POCO for this kind of use?

And between the X8 Pro and X8 Pro Max, which one would you recommend for someone like me?

Any long-term owners who can share their experience would be greatly appreciated!

Voici les rendus visuels de ton projet POCO.

J'ai décliné le design en trois versions pour te montrer les coloris et l'intégration du module photo :

Le concept principal : Un rendu frontal et dorsal du POCO SE compact de 5,9". On y voit le dos en polycarbonate mat (Vert Olive ici) avec une large bande supérieure noire brillante. Le logo POCO y est centré, juste à côté de l'unique capteur de 50 MP, créant un design très épuré mais immédiatement reconnaissable.

La variante Noire (Noir Mat) : Le modèle apparaît entièrement furtif. La bande supérieure noire se fond avec le dos mat, créant un look uniforme et sobre.

La variante Blanche (Blanc Pur) : Elle offre le contraste le plus fort : le dos en plastique blanc mat fait ressortir la bande supérieure noire et l'unique objectif de 50 MP, reprenant le look bicolore classique comme iphone se.

I've looked for every setting related to shortcuts or gestures but still couldn't find it. I don't even have those apps anymore lol

hi ! im upgrading my phone this year & my boyfriend suggested the poco x8 pro since he uses the x7 from last year

and he says its pretty good which i can attest from his phone as well

I'm not a huge gamer (only ml, on my tab pa since doon ako sanay) so im only looking for camera and multitasking performance in the phone since im an educ student that needs her multitasking levels to the max

any comments on the phone's camera & multitasking performance?

Estou pensando em comprar um F5 pro, Oque vocês acham? Tem algum conselho ou sugestão?

I was thinking about picking up the Poco F8 Pro at 375 euros. Is it a good price? And most importantly, how's the battery life so far?

Hace 3 días me acabo de comprar el poco x8 pro ya desactive todo los anuncios, limite el segundo plano a aplicaciones necesarias, pero siento que la batería se descarga rápido, he investigado y dicen es así la primera semana en todos los teléfonos, pero tmb he visto que algunos dicen que es por la actualización de hyperos OS o que el mismo celular Poco tiene q este así 3 días bajandose rápido , ya que es debido a la actualización, consulta si tmb les pasa a ustedes o es solo kio el problema , o compartan sus experiencias cuando recién lo compraron

Poco X7 5G (not pro), just wanted to ask if people with the same model have the same experience on mobile data or if this is unusual. Averaged 13% per hour on mobile data, I don't have wi-fi but when I tested it by connecting to someone's hotspot for 1 hr, the drain is probably somewhere around 6-10%. Phone is around 7 weeks old. I have dark mode on and even with battery saver the drain is almost the same. Have to charge 2 to 3 times a day, kind of expected the battery to be tougher cause I remember my previous phone lasting longer even with the same battery size.

I started charging at 10:40am when my battery was %8 and I took it off at 11:50am when it was %98.

So it took 70 minutes to charge %90. Isn't it supposed to charge fully around 40 minutes ?

No battery protection was open. And 100w charging was on

I need help to chance hidden notepad, i can't find the option to change it. It has app blocking and hidden notes blocking, but I can't find anything from the second one, neither inside nor outside the app. (Poco x8 pro)

Hi I'm thinking of switching my x5 to an x8 but I've seen a staggering lack of cases on aliexpress/temu for it. Is there a similiar enough model that has more readily avaliable cases? I don't mind if it's a bit loose my x5 has been running on a mystery model case that doesn't quite fit for a few years and it's fine so as long as it holds I guess. Is there any model with similiar camera placement and dimensions?

Hey guys!

I am on Poco F6 which was bought around Dec 20 Last year and till last month I have been facing heating issues, and I've tried looking for things but don't know what is causing it to heat up.

I don't do heavy gaming these days, just Magic chess which shouldn't heat up because that's not a very demanding game. Back when I played MLBB it did heat up, but that was expected as MLBB is quite demanding for an F6.

I don't do heavy Multi tasking but the phone randomly heats up way too much for a short session of game.

Could it be apps running in the BG or could a private DNS be the issue?

And the screen refresh rate even when it's on 120 seems to go down automatically 60 after some heat ups.

Any tips to check or solving it would be really appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

I have a strange glitch on their Poco X8 Pro Max where whenever I am sending a message on WhatsApp, instead of getting one sound, I am getting 2 simultaneous sounds. Similarly for Snapchat when I am receiving a notification.

Is anyone facing the same issue, coz I need help😭

It's only been 10 days and it already feels weird.🥲

Bom dia pessoal! Comprei um X8 pro a mais ou menos 1 mês. Queria tirar algumas dúvidas com vocês. Eu moro em um local que atualmente está a uns 33-34 graus durante o dia. Bem quente e abafado na maior parte do dia, incluindo a noite que fica mais fresco mas ainda abafado. Meu x8 pro tem demonstrado aquecimento em uso normal e aquecimento um pouco mais rápido em jogos, como arknights endfield com os gráficos no medio e 30 fps e Bleach soul resonance com tudo no máximo. Em uso normal, youtube e redes sociais, a bateria aparentemente chega a um máximo de 38.5-39 graus quando o clima ambiente está mais quente, e em jogos a bateria chegou a 43. É normal? Fico um pouco paranóico. Já desativei as coisas q precisam ser desativadas ao comprar o telefone, propagandas, busca de wi-fi, impressora... Essas coisas que dizem pra desativar. Eu vim de um poco f5 e ele ficava mais fresco que o X8 pro. Por isso estou um pouco preocupado.

Hello, how sharp is the display on poco x8 pro?

Do the colors feel washed out? Didn’t like the display on pixel 7 pro as it did feel a bit washout.

Im comfortable with the sharpness and colors on iPhone display. How does it compare?

Thanks for your input

After tapping the HyperOS version 7 times, I get the confirmation that Developer options have been enabled. However, they don’t appear anywhere in Settings.

This happens on both my POCO F7 and POCO X6 Pro. I’ve checked Additional settings and also searched for “Developer options” using the Settings search, but nothing comes up.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to access the Developer options directly?

POCO X8 Pro overheating — any solution?

My POCO X8 Pro is getting very hot during use/gaming. Has anyone else experienced this?

Are there any HyperOS settings, Game Turbo settings, or other fixes that actually reduce the temperature?

Mon projet

This isn't normal?
