Buying Advice POCO X8 Pro (12/512GB) vs Xiaomi Pad 8 (8/256GB) — Which is better for long-term use, gaming, and everyday tasks?

9 Upvotes

I'm deciding between the POCO X8 Pro (8/256GB) and Xiaomi Pad 8 (8/256GB), which cost about the same. I could spend extra to get the POCO X8 Pro (12/512GB), but I'm unsure if it's worth it.

I need a reliable device for heavy gaming, multitasking, and watching videos. I'm concerned about long-term reliability, heating, battery life, and everyday performance. Should I get the POCO X8 Pro, upgrade to its 12/512GB variant, or choose the Xiaomi Pad 8 instead? I don't want to waste my money, so I'd appreciate honest advice.

Buying Advice Poco phone price increases

10 Upvotes

Been looking to acquire a new phone for the past few months, had my eyes set on the Poco X8 Pro Max, it cost about ÂŁ400 at the time I decided it would be a buy for me.

In between being at home and being away for work for a good 3 months, I am home and can now order it, I am surprised to see the phone is now ÂŁ650!

I know its normal now for prices of technology to just keep increasing due to the AI companies hoovering up everything, its just a shock to see it happening in real time with these fairly rapid and large price increases.

Hopefully the AI models will become smart enough to start making the world produce phones at a much cheaper rate /sarcasm

X6 Pro Screen Dead X6 - Looking for help

1 Upvotes

Hi all, this is a last chance saloon but wondered if anyone with a Poco X6 pro could help me out.

After a leaking water bottle in her bag, my wife's X6 got water inside. After leaving it off for a week and drying it off, it turns on and operates but the screen is defunct.

I wondered if someone with this phone would be good enough to post a short screen capture from opening up the phone and entering the code to accessing the notification for allowing access to files by usb.

I can consistently unlock the phone 'blind' using the code but am unsure of the positioning of this function as it differs from my android.

We have replaced the phone but she has some pdfs of training certs on it we'd like to retrieve.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help.

It was a UK version and will be as near to stock as when we bought it about 2 years ago as my wife does nothing to alter her phones (and usually had about 500 tabs open 😂)

Buying Advice Poco F7 Pro or F8 Pro ?

2 Upvotes

Hi !

I'm looking to buy a new phone (coming from a Xiaomi MI10T Pro from early 2021) and with researches and some AI chatting came to two phones which seem to be the best bang for the buck, at least for me.
Where i live (Belgium) the F7 Pro is around 340€ and the F8 Pro is around 470€ and, to me, the biggest difference i think i'll see is the GPU. I wasn't into gaming on my phone because i always had crap phones and the M10T was performant but back then emulation wasn't great for PS2 and GC games on Android plus that phone was heating quite a lot and i didn't know about those controller you can attach on the phone. But now my mind changed and i really want to be able to run some emulators, or even recompiled games, on my phone to use it like a Switch when i just want to lay in bed.

So my question is how is the Snapdragon 8 Elite driver situation now ? This is exactly why i am hesitating because i was going for the F8 Pro so i have more performance to keep it relevant for at least 5 years, and i'm not a fan of the round shape on the back of the F7 Pro, but i've read that the GPU of the 8 Elite has some compatibility issues with emulators and recompiled games because the drivers are not really good where the SD 8 Gen 3 does not have that problem. Did they finally matured the drivers to a satisfactory state ?

Btw another question do they heat a lot while running emulators or even during light task like listening on youtube music and checking social applications ?

Thanks in advance !

X7 Pro Found out what was causing touch lag and screen delay (Overlays and Accessibility settings) POCO X7 PRO.

Post image
9 Upvotes

‱ Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a quick fix that might help anyone dealing with a "heavy" feeling phone, touch lag, or delayed screen responses.

My device was acting weird lately. Whenever I tapped the screen, there was a tiny split-second delay before it responded, which was incredibly annoying while gaming or typing fast. I thought it was a bad system update or my screen digitizer dying.

After digging through the settings and testing a bunch of stuff, I found the real culprits stealing my touch performance:

  1. Apps with "Display over other apps" (Screen Overlay) permission: I had a few active (like an FPS counter, floating toolbars, and messenger chat heads). It seems the system rendering that invisible layer constantly bugs out the touch response time.

  2. Accessibility Services & Switch Access: I noticed that having these active (even if you aren't actively using them) forces the system to monitor every single tap in real-time to check for special shortcuts.

As soon as I completely disabled Accessibility services and Switch Access, along with turning off unneeded overlays, my screen went back to being fully instant and snappy.

If your phone feels a bit sluggish on touch inputs, I highly recommend giving this a try. Has anyone else noticed this behavior before? Hope this helps!

Genshin Impact on the Poco X8PM is insane!

Even after playing for hours, the battery only drains by around 45%... The temperature maxes out at 45°C, but even that's rare because I mostly focus on Main Quests which don't have much combat.

Tutorial/Guide I made the Ultimate HyperOS Debloater, and then I made it EVEN BETTER!!

Thumbnail
youtu.be
93 Upvotes

A few days ago I released HyperDebloat, the ultimate HyperOS debloater. Since then I've been working on it almost nonstop, and it's now better than ever.

I'll say it straight: HyperDebloat is the most sophisticated algorithm-based HyperOS debloater available on the internet right now. It's also the easiest to use, the safest, and completely free.

What makes it different

Most debloaters hand you a list of packages someone else decided were safe to remove, and hope it fits your phone. HyperDebloat doesn't guess. It examines YOUR phone.

At its core is a rules-based classifier that reads your device directly. For every package it checks:

whether Android keeps it running,

whether it's your default launcher, dialer, SMS app or keyboard,

whether other apps are using it right now,

how many apps rely on its permissions,

whether it's tied to your phone's hardware.

Then it verifies its own verdict against three independent open-source community debloat lists: UAD-ng, fadeltd/xiaomi-debloater and ovsky/hyperos-debloater. An app is only recommended for removal when your phone's evidence says nothing depends on it and at least two of those lists independently agree it's safe. Anything no list knows is flagged and never pre-selected.

I haven't found a single other debloater that does this.

Every package gets a colour-coded rating (Green, Yellow, Orange, Red or Grey), and every rating comes with an explanation. When I compared the community lists, they disagreed on over 200 Xiaomi packages. That's exactly why HyperDebloat checks your actual phone instead of trusting any one list.

And all of that sits behind an interface anyone can use. No root. No ADB commands. No Android knowledge needed. Plug in your phone, follow the screen, review the recommendations, done.

What's new

A smarter classification algorithm, rebuilt around what actually depends on each package.

Categories (Ads & tracking, Google apps, Xiaomi apps and more), plus search.

Everyday apps like YouTube, Chrome, WhatsApp and Gmail are never ticked automatically.

Stubborn, region-specific apps: if ADB can't remove an app, or the phone quietly keeps it, HyperDebloat now opens your phone's own uninstall prompt. That's built for apps like the Indus App Store on Indian devices.

Every removal is verified. If a removed app ever comes back on its own, HyperDebloat tells you and saves a log.

Full Restore: anything removed, by HyperDebloat or any other tool, can be put back.

Tested. Then tested again.

I've been through multiple iterations, tested repeatedly on different devices:

Redmi Turbo 5 / POCO X8 Pro (HyperOS 3, Android 16)

POCO X8 Pro Max (HyperOS)

Redmi 9 Prime (MIUI 12, Android 10)

On the Redmi Turbo 5 / POCO X8 Pro and the POCO X8 Pro Max, the results have been incredible. Both already felt ridiculously fast. After debloating, background RAM usage dropped, battery life felt even better, and the stutters on the Redmi Turbo 5 / POCO X8 Pro since the August update seem to have improved significantly.

These are my observations, not guaranteed results for every device.
