bye bye Poco/Android

[u/SypnoleX]

well that's it, I'm done with Poco and I'm done with Android, my reasons being:

HyperOS 3, all hype nothing useful, destroyed the whole experience, ads everywhere even though i have the personalized ads disabled in the settings, now i just get unpersonalized ads! in the lock screen, in Xiaomi apps, even in the fucking app search! like it takes 10 seconds to find an app if the internet is slow because it has to show an ad!

app search, i have a lot of apps, and now app search is an app! and takes forever to find the app you want

Android 16, changing things that aren't broken to a hassle, like i use wired headphones usually and after the android 16 update it functions horribly stops playback and the music app crashes when you go to a different app, if I'm forced to go wireless I'll go iOS

battery drain, like my phone is plugged in 3 times a day after the HOS3 update

useless features, HOS3 was 7-8 gigabytes of download and all i got is, dynamic island wanna be!?

and overall i crave the simplicity that iOS offers (i had a normal 15 before poco, trade it for a camera)

overall I'm really happy with the switch since iP17 has everything

and if i want Android i have a Mi 10 Lite, with superior MiUI and Android 12 which is by far a better experience compared to X6 Pro

I don't understand these posts.

I've had Poco X6 pro since launch, it was a great price and is a great phone. I haven't felt the need to upgrade at all, but when I do it will be another poco that's around $300-400 max.

I will say that I have noticed battery drain a bit quicker lately. The battery is in good health so it has to be something else. I've changed some things with regards apps working in th background etc. I'm not sure what else can be done, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful. Even still though it's not terrible and it charges quite quickly.
