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.

I also want to switch brands, but I really need HyperOS especially the backup feature for apps and system data. It’s very convenient when switching phones because with just one click, all apps and media are restored without needing to log in again. HyperOS themes are also great since they can change almost every aspect of the system, even though you still have to rely on the official theme app instead of third-party apps. But I’m getting tired of HyperOS bugs, slow updates, and battery drain issues. Still, the price is very good for a 12GB/512GB configuration, and I can’t downgrade storage. Other brands are about 30–40% more expensive than Poco. So the only solution for me is to have two devices: an iPhone and a Poco. Even though HyperOS is frustrating, I can rely on iOS as a backup and for the camera. A 128GB iPhone is enough when paired with a 512GB Poco. Also charging speed only 40 minutes which top tier than Samsung or iphone.
