2:36 1. 8 bit display means, each three channels r, g, b of every pixel has size 8 bits, which means they can have 2^8 values, for three colors it's total (2^8)^3 = 16.7 Million different triplets of (r,g,b). 2. 10 bit display is same math but (2^10)^3 = 1.07B 3. 12 bit (2^12)^3=68.7B
Unfortunately, it's all useless, if the video you are watching doesn't have the colour information. For example, if you are watching an 8-bit video (which is mostly the case), you won't have any benefits of 12-bit display. There are hardly any videos that are in 10-bit. It might take a decade before we get to see 12-bit videos and that's gonna take much more storage or bandwidth depending on if you are playing it locally or streaming online.
A fingerprint sensor is what it does regardless of where it is. I don't understand why most people classify in-display sensor as premium. They are expensive yet does the same thing. Dunno whoever promoted this trend but rear fingerprint sensors are super fast and can be programmed to take selfies, swipe notification bar and other stuffs which in-display sensors can't. Furthermore, reviewers become happy when they see 3.5mm jack but gets disappointed to see rear fingerprint sensor and side mounted one. Come on man, ain't most people using earbuds now? If they can buy 20k phone, then they can obviously buy 2k buds.

2:37 math is. The display comprised of 3 colours RGB so in 8bit display each colour is represented by 8bits so RGB together it is 24bit, hence 2^24 = 16.7 Million. Similarly for 10 bit each colour is represented by 10 bits hence total will be 30bits that is 2^30 = 1.02 Billion and so on

This is Redmi Note 12 turbo rebranded as Poco F5. The motherboard issues are mostly with X series. So ,This should be fine. I had m2 pro with SD720. Worked like charm for 2.5 years. I exchanged it for OnePlus 11R this May.
This phone is a steal considering it comes with 256GB storage and the rest of the specs are bang on. I have a POCO F3 GT and the camera is amazing. I bought it because of the physical triggers and it made me a pro at PUBG Mobile but the display + performance + camera + build quality (GLASS + METAL) made my purchase a no brainer.
That's because the F5 is based on the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, whereas the F5 Pro is based on the Redmi K60. If the Poco F5 had a Micro SD card slot, then it'd be a smash hit for sure...
@@KnowledgeHunterIndia Yea but see, its a "nice to have", and we can't say no to those ryt? Moreover, Micro SD cards are a super useful tool when u mess around with Custom ROMs and stuff like me...
@@KnowledgeHunterIndia I put all of my files in my microSD card. Whenever I got a new phone, I simply swap it in seconds and continue using it as usual.
I have had the Poco F2 Pro for close to 3 years and I still love it. MIUI 14 really knocked the screen performance and overall speed out of the park (it,s terrific!). The SD865 is still brilliant, 8k video at 30 or 25 fps; it's 60 hz screen fluency and animation surely cannot be bettered by any 120hz display. Unfortunately it's coming to it's end of life support. I have MIUI 14 but Android 12, and though security is still pretty good (1 February 23) that's not going to last much longer. I also bought the M1 10 Lite 5g a month earlier also from Xioami direct (UK here), update it as a spare, and that has been droppped earlier i.e. MIUI 13 though on Android 12, but security is only to October 22. SOohhh ..... I passed later on the F3 and F4 because I then couldn't afford them. I think the F5 non - pro seems a great phone, especially if /when the price comes down. No proper Macro I'm not big on cameras. I'm a bit of a nerd for Geekbench artificial scoring so I'm impressed with the 7+ gen 2 and glad it's ranked highly. No 8k but again more of a nerdy comparison than something I actually use. 181 gms will be a blessing after my 220gm F2 Pro beast, although you get used to it. First phone I put a temepered glass and spigen case on out of the box. Hopefully I can get one (min 256gb here too) when prices drop lower than the temporary launch deal of £379 from £449 now. 2 further OS updates ( I assume in 2 years) and 3 years security is not great, as that's what I have already and is ending - and xiaomi models offer longer support - but it's enough. Great channel! I had forgotten about it. Now subscribed again. (I unsubscribed everything after the YT username change!)
I hope "Nothing Phone 2" would use this processor and with Telephoto camera it would be excellent 👌 and compite with this phone and Oneplus Nord 3 that would be great 😊
I had poco F1, it worked like a charm. However, Poco intentionally slowed it down by the updated as that phone was performing way better than anyone expected. So I am sure this will happen with F5 as well. There is no brand value due to such things they do.
Been using POCO F1 since last 4½ years. My biggest gripe is the os MiUi. The F1 had two major updates of Miui 11 and 12. And the latter one is worse than than the previous update as it lags quite often. Otherwise the phone works fine. I use Gcam for Camera which just transforms it into pixel quality camera. If the Xiaomi changes its OS like Samsung did with one UI, i would have considered the F5. I'll pass it for some other 7+ gen2 phone. Also, it's crazy how inflated are the price of midrange smartphones. POCO F1 was 19k back when it launched and was bang for your buck. Can't say the same for any new midrange phone.
@@jauharshahbaz Ok but after changing the battery & install pixel experience ROM in POCO F1 you will regret to buy mid range phone. Cause POCO F1 will outperform the current existing mid range phones.
@@rishikumar-di4ce but cannot match snapdragon. If Exynos was good enough then S series wouldn't ditch it .... Atleast Exynos/tensor should be more capable enough to fully utilise the features....
2+3yrs updates is even more dangerous, it assuring that Poco has the full control for next 2-3major updates. So even if the motherboard is okay at the time of buy, we have witnessed Poco & redmi series with high specs eventually their updates destroyed, cant take a backup and not even we were able to receive call or message notification
Side mounted fingerprint is way more better than in-display fingerprint in mid segment phones. When it comes to premium phones i will choose the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint. For 30k 256 gb base storage and 8gb ram is a wonderful deal with powerful processor and 2 years warranty.....the only downside is i think f5 is missing the E4 amoled display that was in the previous poco f4.
Rather than going for flagship phones, a well optimised phone with 7+ gen 2 with stock android preferably is what most people would prefer. Hardly 5% of the population require the flagship performance of the 8 gen 2 processors
SD 8 Gen 1 (Moto Edge 30 Pro) was available for 30K just a few days ago.....so if someone wants better performance with arguably better cameras and software, why should they go for poco?
Everyone has different priorities.....some want newer phones and some want a cleaner OS....i personally don't care much about how long a phone is getting software updates and care more about the software experience itself.... Also this phone is geared more towards gamers....and in that regard too, MOTO beats poco by offering a better GPU....
@@LolCreations007 at the cost of terrible thermals and reliability issues tho, 8Gen1 can't even sustain a stable fps in games for a few mins due to the terrible thermals. Better look into 8+Gen1 phones at that point imo, miles better than the 8Gen1 in every way.
While the processor is good, why do they not work on the cameras. If the cameras were atleast on par with Nothing Phone 1, this would have been a perfect phone.
My Mi 11X Pro's motherboard is dead (Died - Nobember 10, 2023). Which barely surviuved 2 years 2 months (bought - 2021, September 5), and on the other hand Redmi Note 5 Pro that I bought in 2018 is still running smooth (replaced battery only). I've used Xiaomi Smartphones for almost 9 years. Even though POCO F5 is enticing, I guess I'll not buy Xiaomi again. And before buying any electronics make sure - it has proper cooling system and water resistance (if not keep away from water). Heat and Water are two things that kills electronic devices easily.
Worthy successor for Poco F1. i there are other poco phones but this one is what poco phones used to be like high performance for low price while not compromising too much on other things. Poco f2 pro was decent too but not other models
@@antifanatics7765 Comparing it to most smartphones and avg price for a good phone this is pretty affordable. You don't have to be millionaire's relative to buy it 🙄.
I never liked poco phones because they suck. I have seen a lot of users complaining about motherboard issues even if there is no physical or water damage to the phone and when users report this issue on Twitter both poco India and Their CEO/Chairman blocks every users suppressing their voice
@@Dr.Manhattan11 That motherboard issue is a quality control issue ig on all newer models of poco. Some articles said it was because of a bad software update frying the motherboards. idk much about it but it didn't happen in f1 and f2 models
Side mounted fingerprint is okay at this point of price, its a problem when the price incr like in asus zenfone 9. There it was very big problem according to me
I genuinely don't get why in-display is better. I use the side mounted and have registered my left-middle, ring&pinky, right thumb It seems much accessible than the in-display Please correct me if I'm wrong
@@namikazeminato7782 the thing is, it looks better and since your thumb naturally is always close to the fingerprint location, it's just better. there is no point of registering your pinky, left thumb,etc cuz u r always gonna be using your left/right hand and your thumb to unlock the phone.
@@oogwaythesussyturtle Idk man, maybe it's my hand but my thumb isn't comfortable there unless I'm holding the phone with my left hand, whereas for side mounted it feels comfortable single handed
Really great specs but but but.. Things that are a deal breaker for me:- 1. No in display fingerprint sensor 2. Cameras are average as seen from the samples. 3. Poco's recent history about motherboard issues gives me trust issues.
Agree. I'm still using F1 and bought F5 for my gf. The price is the same as the X6 5G, but we got the 12GB/256GB and we're waiting for it to be delivered!
Honestly,the main motto of the chip is to bring performance to affordable segments or improves the phone overall, poco f5 at 30k is clearly overpriced considering a sort of budget camera unit packed and i am sure it will go on bbd sale for under 25k for sure,so if someone really wants to buy wait for sale and save around 6-7thousands,also the display is an inferior one,there is almost zero 12bit content to watch and the display is average on basics like brightness, pixel density,pwmm dimming,hdr calibration,plus not to mention miui+motherboard issues,so for me its a solid no!
There is an Old Saying.... Once a Mirror is Broken no matter how much your try to glue it Still the Cracks will be there till the End... So ultimately No use..... Like this One.... One time regret is enough 😊
Brands pay huge money to these youtubers for hype. Disappointed that these so called Tech youtubers doesn't care about customers. (Poco motherboard issues)
lol, this is not even a comparison. any sane person would go for pixel unless you are a gamer and ready to pay for motherboard damage after year of use
Poco F5 has 64MP OIS camera. Poco F5 has 7+ Gen 2 (which is CLEARLY BETTER than the D8200) Poco F5 has headphone jack, GT Neo 3 doesn't... And all of this for 29K, just 1K more than GT Neo 3...
Not so sure why most people keep leaning towards the "in-display fingerprint scanner" against the physical sensors. If you want to look fancy and follow the trend, sure. Go ahead; the in-display fingerprint scanner looks cool. But are they really secure compared to the physical sensors? Definitely not! This was one of the major reasons phones like Google Pixel 6a had issues with their fingerprint scanner, and any unregistered finger could easily unlock the phone. It's simple, the in-display fingerprint scanners use a camera and capture an image of your finger(s) and are not fingerprint sensors; they heavily rely on the Software to get it working. Any flaw in the Software can easily make it least secure, and your phone can be unlocked even with an unregistered finger or can even be bypassed to not even scan a finger. Plus, they are pretty fragile too. Moreover, if configured correctly, a Physical Fingerprint sensor is much faster than typical in-display ones.

What surprised me about this F5 is that it has headphone jack, whereas the "Pro" model doesn't.
That's because the F5 is based on the Redmi Note 12 Turbo, whereas the F5 Pro is based on the Redmi K60.

I have had the Poco F2 Pro for close to 3 years and I still love it. MIUI 14 really knocked the screen performance and overall speed out of the park (it,s terrific!). The SD865 is still brilliant, 8k video at 30 or 25 fps; it's 60 hz screen fluency and animation surely cannot be bettered by any 120hz display.
Unfortunately it's coming to it's end of life support. I have MIUI 14 but Android 12, and though security is still pretty good (1 February 23) that's not going to last much longer. I also bought the M1 10 Lite 5g a month earlier also from Xioami direct (UK here), update it as a spare, and that has been droppped earlier i.e. MIUI 13 though on Android 12, but security is only to October 22.
SOohhh .....
I passed later on the F3 and F4 because I then couldn't afford them. I think the F5 non - pro seems a great phone, especially if /when the price comes down. No proper Macro I'm not big on cameras.
I'm a bit of a nerd for Geekbench artificial scoring so I'm impressed with the 7+ gen 2 and glad it's ranked highly.
No 8k but again more of a nerdy comparison than something I actually use.
181 gms will be a blessing after my 220gm F2 Pro beast, although you get used to it. First phone I put a temepered glass and spigen case on out of the box.
Hopefully I can get one (min 256gb here too) when prices drop lower than the temporary launch deal of £379 from £449 now.
2 further OS updates ( I assume in 2 years) and 3 years security is not great, as that's what I have already and is ending - and xiaomi models offer longer support - but it's enough.

Side mounted scanner is the best thing and super practical. Idk why ppl are obsessed with in display scanner ?!?!?!
Been using POCO F1 since last 4½ years. My biggest gripe is the os MiUi. The F1 had two major updates of Miui 11 and 12. And the latter one is worse than than the previous update as it lags quite often. Otherwise the phone works fine. I use Gcam for Camera which just transforms it into pixel quality camera. If the Xiaomi changes its OS like Samsung did with one UI, i would have considered the F5. I'll pass it for some other 7+ gen2 phone. Also, it's crazy how inflated are the price of midrange smartphones. POCO F1 was 19k back when it launched and was bang for your buck. Can't say the same for any new midrange phone.

2+3yrs updates is even more dangerous, it assuring that Poco has the full control for next 2-3major updates. So even if the motherboard is okay at the time of buy, we have witnessed Poco & redmi series with high specs eventually their updates destroyed, cant take a backup and not even we were able to receive call or message notification
😂😂
My poco x3 pro after 2 yrs is still alive and kicking. I will definitely upgrade to f5.❤️
Side mounted fingerprint is way more better than in-display fingerprint in mid segment phones. When it comes to premium phones i will choose the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint. For 30k 256 gb base storage and 8gb ram is a wonderful deal with powerful processor and 2 years warranty.....the only downside is i think f5 is missing the E4 amoled display that was in the previous poco f4.
The ONLY problem is the mother board issue
@@Shome2049 yeah but now they are providing 2 yrs of warranty......
8 bit =2^8
10 bit =2^10
12 bit =2^12 for every color
Now calculate RGB
So 8bit=2^8*2^8*2^8
Same for 10 and 12

SD 8 Gen 1 (Moto Edge 30 Pro) was available for 30K just a few days ago.....so if someone wants better performance with arguably better cameras and software, why should they go for poco?
That phone is 1 year old.. so.. again it is almost similar.. so you can't say moto edge is better.. he said it..
I agree on the software front though, i like clean minimalist os, don't know about cameras..
ig the most sensible reason is to avoid the thermal issues of the 8Gen1. 7+Gen2 is essentially a lower clocked 8Gen1 with better efficiency after all.
Everyone has different priorities.....some want newer phones and some want a cleaner OS....i personally don't care much about how long a phone is getting software updates and care more about the software experience itself....
Also this phone is geared more towards gamers....and in that regard too, MOTO beats poco by offering a better GPU....
@@LolCreations007 at the cost of terrible thermals and reliability issues tho, 8Gen1 can't even sustain a stable fps in games for a few mins due to the terrible thermals. Better look into 8+Gen1 phones at that point imo, miles better than the 8Gen1 in every way.
Bhai esa wallpaper to me b deserve krta hun 😢😢
Watching this in my poco F1 😁
@1:39 small correction the processsor is not hero, the manufacturer TSMC is the hero
While the processor is good, why do they not work on the cameras. If the cameras were atleast on par with Nothing Phone 1, this would have been a perfect phone.
My Mi 11X Pro's motherboard is dead (Died - Nobember 10, 2023). Which barely surviuved 2 years 2 months (bought - 2021, September 5), and on the other hand Redmi Note 5 Pro that I bought in 2018 is still running smooth (replaced battery only). I've used Xiaomi Smartphones for almost 9 years. Even though POCO F5 is enticing, I guess I'll not buy Xiaomi again. And before buying any electronics make sure - it has proper cooling system and water resistance (if not keep away from water). Heat and Water are two things that kills electronic devices easily.
Worthy successor for Poco F1. i there are other poco phones but this one is what poco phones used to be like high performance for low price while not compromising too much on other things. Poco f2 pro was decent too but not other models

2. Cameras are average as seen from the samples.
3. Poco's recent history about motherboard issues gives me trust issues.
Meme UI, bugs, crashes, sending data to China, evading taxes, etc.
In display finger print is not a big deal

Some say it's par with 8gen n 8+gen but definitely a successor of sd888
Watching on my F5 (black) w/c I got last Sun. ❤️❤️❤️ Love from PH 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Honestly,the main motto of the chip is to bring performance to affordable segments or improves the phone overall, poco f5 at 30k is clearly overpriced considering a sort of budget camera unit packed and i am sure it will go on bbd sale for under 25k for sure,so if someone really wants to buy wait for sale and save around 6-7thousands,also the display is an inferior one,there is almost zero 12bit content to watch and the display is average on basics like brightness, pixel density,pwmm dimming,hdr calibration,plus not to mention miui+motherboard issues,so for me its a solid no!
There is an Old Saying.... Once a Mirror is Broken no matter how much your try to glue it Still the Cracks will be there till the End... So ultimately No use..... Like this One.... One time regret is enough 😊

Not so sure why most people keep leaning towards the "in-display fingerprint scanner" against the physical sensors. If you want to look fancy and follow the trend, sure. Go ahead; the in-display fingerprint scanner looks cool. But are they really secure compared to the physical sensors? Definitely not! This was one of the major reasons phones like Google Pixel 6a had issues with their fingerprint scanner, and any unregistered finger could easily unlock the phone. It's simple, the in-display fingerprint scanners use a camera and capture an image of your finger(s) and are not fingerprint sensors; they heavily rely on the Software to get it working. Any flaw in the Software can easily make it least secure, and your phone can be unlocked even with an unregistered finger or can even be bypassed to not even scan a finger. Plus, they are pretty fragile too. Moreover, if configured correctly, a Physical Fingerprint sensor is much faster than typical in-display ones.
similarly like 870 vs 888 where 870 is more optimised and good performer I think 7+ gen2 is more optimsed like 870 Qualcomm have luck in number 7 🤪
Finally a true successor of SD870!
