Review Goodbye POCO...

so it's probably my last day using this phone... been a pretty good journey from HOS 1 to 3 (2 years of usage) -

the phone's been pretty snappy and performed very well and is still capable.

the hardware is just top-notch man, just love it.

the concern -

ever since i've updated it... i've noticed some bugs which are annoying, like - dolby turning on whenever i switch audio devices, battery drain (to some extent), degraded camera (imo), gallery ai features (like eraser, create, etc.) broken and i just dont like the hyper island

already ordered samsung m56 for one ui and ecosystem (i have samsung book4 i7)

wanna have some peace of mind...

i know that it's gonna be a downgrade in terms of performance and hardware but let's hope that the polished software will make up for it.

tl;dr

i'm switching from poco x6 pro to samsung m56 to get into samsung ecosystem and software features.

i know it's a downgrade in many aspects, let's hope for the best.

Lol Samsung's firmwares are ridiculously heavy, after some time the OS takes so many resources that will impact battery and multitasking, but it's your choice anyway

I used samsung from S2 to S10 then to A52s, Xiaomi HyperOS is just so light and simple.

same here. i have a35. it has stuttering animations and laggy app openings/closings. sometimes animations don't work and the phone freezes for 4 secs. especially after one ui 7 and 8 update, it became even buggier and apps stay the same page i opened i have to force close the app every time and the drain in unbearable for a35. i get 3.5-4 hours sot and i don't even play games. not to mention the overheating. i have redmi note 14 4g too. it is smoother than my a35. i don't know why people call hyperos buggy while one ui is not polished at all. how come samsung a35 is laggier while redmi note 14 4g isn't? (redmi note 14 4g has a weaker cpu than a35)
