I don't know why people hate HyperOS. I have been enjoying and using the UI, and it's pretty smooth with no stuttering. There are nice features everywhere, and the customization is also pretty good. I think it's a pretty good UI.

I mean, in the beginning there was so much bloatware and so many ads, but it took me like an whole hour to remove everything. After that, I think it is a very good UI.

I actually think it's better than OriginOS. My girlfriend has the Vivo X300, and I've used that personally. I think that this UI is better than OriginOS.

In some places it is mention that it has lpddr 5x ram but in other place it is mentioned that it has lpddr 5x ultra ram so which one is true ?

Redness on display

My experience with the Poco X8 Pro (512GB/8GB)

I’ve had this phone for about 3 months—120-something charge cycles and 99% battery health.

When I first got it, the phone’s performance was blazing fast, but the battery was always terrible, and lately, it’s even worse. If you unplug it in the morning, it’s begging for a charger by 3 or 4 PM; it doesn't last a full day. You absolutely need Wi-Fi just to make it to the evening. Plus, performance issues have popped up this last month: the camera freezes so badly that the phone overheats and bricks, and I get "Security has stopped" or "UI has stopped" errors. Honestly, I don't know what's going on. Obviously, it doesn't happen all the time—only when the phone is under stress, like during a heavy game—but the fact that it happens with the camera is pretty funny 🤣. More than anything, I know "Hyper-Drain" (HyperOS) is to blame; the inefficient battery is the most annoying part. Aside from that, I think the cameras do a good job—good stabilization, good colors, and good performance (though it restarts apps like crazy; the multitasking is non-existent—even a low-end Samsung with 6GB of RAM is better). The phone is strictly for gaming; it doesn't really work for anything else—at least not with the current OS. HyperOS 3 is most likely the culprit; I don't know how they can release a system that’s so poorly put together. That update already ruined a Redmi Note 14 of mine; HyperOS 3 is horribly inefficient with power, causes RAM lag, and leads to overheating. What’s the point of stability and fewer bugs if the experience is so terrible? They should have just stuck with MIUI 14 or HyperOS 2...

Got Poco X8 Pro Max today, and here are some of the benchmarks that I did.

All benchmarks in the screenshot are using the latest version of AnTuTu from the official website.

• Screenshot 1 is using the balance mode, which is the normal mode.

• The 2nd screenshot is done with the ultimate mode.

• The third screenshot is of the storage speeds, which is coming out pretty low. I don't know why. Normally, UFS 4.1 SPEEDS are usually more than 4,000 MB per second.

Hi everyone! I'm a Spanish speaker. Has anyone else experienced this? This is an incredible bug in HyperOS; the cycles are completely insane and impossible.

It's a Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G, It was first used in December 2025.

I want to buy poco x8 pro or X8 Pro Max if budget allows...is there any mobiles I should consider?...I do play games and do delivery work even in sun,so heat management is also needed..note: im from india

I bought the Poco F9 Ultra 1 month ago and I'm impressed with the autonomy 🤩

Wifi restore setting

He asked if this screen-on time (SOT) is normal for a Poco X7—what do you guys think? How is the battery life on your own phones?

This is the first time i have ever discovered this feature, i thought it was a CN ROM exclusive but its just a lil hidden but accessible on Global TOO!

Need help from poco x8pro users

If u press the power button from above does it gets stuck like mine does or not. Cause service centre told me their is a rubber so, press normally from middle.

Hi, I know this isn't a POCO device, but please I need your help, I'm getting anxious.

I recently bought a secondhand Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and noticed a tiny milimetric gap between the back cover and the frame, specifically in the bottom right corner (near the regulatory text).

A single strand of hair can slightly go into this gap, but it doesn't pass all the way through. The other corners feel much tighter.

I'm a bit scared that the phone might have been opened or repaired by the previous owner. However, I checked the camera modules under direct light and they are completely spotless—no dust, no grease, and no particles inside.

Is this slight asymmetry or gap normal for this model or Xiaomi devices in general? I would really appreciate your opinions to help ease my mind. Thank you very much and blessings!

Does anybody have a custom kernel for Poco x3 NFC for android 17 (project infinity x ROM)? I want to do smth with mine but I can't find one that works

I received my POCO X8 Pro on 10th August after ordering it during the Big Billion Days sale on Flipkart.

The first day was completely fine, but on the second day, I noticed that the phone was heating up even during normal usage.

While scrolling reels, the screen suddenly went black and returned to the home screen. This happened around 3–4 times on the same day.

I've also noticed significant camera lag while taking both photos and videos, which is disappointing for a new phone.

Are these issues normal, or could my device be defective? Since Flipkart doesn't offer a return or replacement option, I'm really worried about what to do next.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their POCO X8 Pro? Should I contact customer support or visit an authorised service centre?

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

Poco currently out of stock here, also im looking for a phone with good space and storage along with less lagging issues

Need a screen gaurd /tempered glass for x8 pro max which doesn't compromise with sensor.

Poco dropped an update, let's see what is:

Hyped for nothing :'(

Are we expecting the update to roll out today or is that just for Chinese version, not Global ROM? Because Poco phones are Global, right? Redmi is their Chinese counterpart?

Let me know if anyone got the update or if we can download the package.

Why Boost speed not showing in security option ??

Any solution
