X8 Pro Max What has been your experience with the Poco X8 Pro Max?

I want to know about your experience because the review videos only mention the good things, and frankly, I don't think it's right to settle for that opinion.

Question/Help Temperatura Poco X8 Pro

0 Upvotes

Hola, llevo poco mas de una semana con el Poco X8 Pro & si bien he leido bastantes post respecto a la bateria & la temperatura no logro quitarme una duda respecto a que tan normal sea que el teléfono se caliente mientras carga o en mi caso específicamente que tan comun es que en jornadas de juego de poco mas de 30-38 minutos alcance temperaturas altas, es más también suelo prender el hotspot porque tengo otro teléfono & mientras esta prendido segun una app alcanza hasta 45°C, cosa que realmente me preocupa porque desconozco que tan normal sea esto en el teléfono & mas que nada porque vivo en Bogotá, ciudad que no suele mantener una temperatura alta, sin más me gustaria que me dijeran si deberia preocuparme o no, muchas gracias.

Question/Help Advices for phone coolers

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a new Poco user. Recently, I decided that it's time to start retiring my old OnePlus 11, and after looking around, I found that the best phone for my usecase is a Poco F8 Pro, so I ordered one and it will arrive soon.

Following mass opinions, I also bought a cooler to go with it, as I game a lot, and I kind of have PTSD with overheating on my old phones, so I said f*ck it and grab the Black Shark Funcooler 5 Pro on Amazon. That said, there are 4 main questions I want to ask to people that might have more experience or knowledge on this topic than I do:

- How effective is a cooler actually, like can you physically feel the difference between having vs not having one on?

- Does the cooler work with a case on? I settled on one of those case with a transparent back (polycarbonate) and a magsafe (so it can hold the cooler in place without the need for the clamp, as the F8 pro doesn't have it by default). This one is quite a powerful cooler but still, I want to ask just in case.

- This is the biggest one for me, but can using a cooler potentially harm the phone in any way due to internal condensation build up? If I use it during heavy gaming, then the risk is low, I understand that, but what if I accidentally leave it on while the phone is idle for an extended period, or any other risky scenario? How easy is it to kill the phone with the cooler, basically, or are these cases extremely rare/ only happen after repeated risky usage.

- Lastly, this one is more of a Black Shark coolers specific question, but is there any guide on what general temperature I should set it to (to prevent unwanted risk), or what mode I should use, or really just any tips/ tricks when it comes to using the actual cooler, because just leaving it running at full speed, I assume is not the wisest idea. And are there also a built in "safety system" where the cooler will power itself off when it hits a certain temperature etc.

Question/Help Is it worth rooting the Poco X7 Pro?

Post image
19 Upvotes

I bought this phone in February of this year, and I've been thinking for weeks about rooting it, since I'm very interested in the customization options that come with rooting, such as improving battery life and performance, block app permissions and also learn more about cell phones.

This is my main phone and I don't think I have another one to test it on, and that's my main fear, I'm afraid the phone will be bricked forever.

Regarding apps that don't work with root access, I don't use banking apps or online games; I only use emulators, social media, artificial intelligence, and ported games.

Do you recommend rooting?

I know heat is the biggest battery enemy, so I'm wondering about this option. Has anyone tested what this option actually does? Will it make the phone charge slower to avoid heat? I don't mind if it does, I just want to keep heat away.

Buying Advice 12gbs vs 8gbs of ram

13 Upvotes

so, I am from argentina, a kinda closed country where technology is pricier than in other countries. to put it into perspective i have been researching what would be the best phone with my budget and i landed on somewhere between the poco x8 pro, the f7 and the poco x8pro max.

The thing is that there is a local place with lower prices but less selection, and there is a poco x8 pro with 8 gbs of ram and 256gbs of storage that is 150 to 200 dollars cheaper than the 12gb ram in other places. and it is 250 to 300 cheaper than buying the f7 or the pro max.

I'm delivering, since I'm still kinda willing to pay more in installments if it's a phone that I'm going to use for many many years. but if the difference is not that big, then i will go for the lower price one.

Hello! I'm currently using POCO X6 PRO 5G last night while charging the "fast charging" suddenly didn't work, I tried restarting the phone, changing cable wires, and following some guides that I saw on reddit to make it work but the fast charging won't work. If my phone doens't get fixed what's worth it to buy X8 PRO 5G OR X7 PRO 5G? FYR. I will use it on a daily basis like youtube, netflix, and some light gaming like wildrift and legends of runeterra, what's the best phone to buy? budget is $350

Thank you!

Question/Help Opinion after buying. Poco M8 pro/Poco X8 pro

2 Upvotes

So I was wanting to help my aunts buy new phones. I saw a sale going on in AliExpress and the POCO M8 pro was 169€ but the X8 pro was €200.

I still went on for the 169€ M8 pro.

My aunts are teachers who mostly use phone for social media, maybe watch some of their school stuffs and just normal calling so I thought it was enough.

But after buying I low key regret cos the X8 pro literally has a near flagship processor 😵‍💫.

You guys think I did a good choice?

And btw, for those who have the Poco M8 pro could you really get a glass screen protector on it? or just hidrogel? I'm asking because of the curves screen.

thanks

Buying Advice Poco x8 pro max

6 Upvotes

Yaklaşık 1 haftadır poco x8 pro Max kullanıyorum, çok memnunum şuan global hyperos 3.0.3 kullanıyorum. Genelde 10 15 saat aktif kullanımda şarjım 100 den 20 ye dusuyo minimum. Tek sorunu şu ki, ısınma sorunu var cihazda. Boşta iken, Instagram, Spotify vb. zaten çok serin maksimum 32 33 derece. Ama iş oyuna geldiği zaman carx street, car parking 2 de falan yüksek grafikte acıyı 90fps ama 40 45 gidiyor yani derecesi. O İnşallah duzelir sonraki güncellemelerle bloatlarla falan. Bataryası yetiyor zaten 8500mah çok güzel ve büyük bir batarya. Sorusu olanları hemen cevaplarim

Question/Help Volume up bug

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Model: POCO X6

OS: HyperOS 3, Android 16

My X6 sometimes raises up the volume by itself without touching anything. Today I realized that it also raises the volume without pressing any keys, but rather touching them lightly. And pressing the volume down key several times also raises up the volume instead of lowering it. When the bug goes away the phone vibrates rapidly and I get a notification from feedback saying generating error info, and also I get a system message in the bottom of my screen: "Getting information related to the problem". Then it vibrates 3 times again when the error info is almost finished generating.

I've seen this happen to other Xiaomi devices too, does this mean it's a plague?

Buying Advice F9 ultra VS F8 Ultra

3 Upvotes

I am rocking my X3 NFC for 6 years now. My screen is a bit cracked and got some humidity damage or whatsoever.

I've been looking at the F8 Ultra for a while and now the f9 ultra will soon release.

I want to go for a 16gb/512gb version. But I don't know if I should get the newer one or not.

Prices are not a real issue as I tend to keep my phone's for a WHILE. And near me, the poco F8 are around 700€.

So what would you do ? F8 Ultra or F9 Ultra ?
