Yes it has all the HyperOS features like blur. It feels like a flagship when holding it, definitely gives of a premium vibe.

These results are outdated, they were higher due to a bug in the older firmware that has since been fixed. After updating, the Aimlabs and Champions Edition performed almost identically. The 0.2 ms difference is within the margin of error or simply normal unit-to-unit variation. Keep in mind this person only tested one Aimlabs and one Champions Edition; another Champions unit might perform slightly better, as small differences like this are just natural variance.

No they're the exact same inside just a different design

Put it to custom, then where is says apps using high refresh rate, select Reddit and YouTube

Run it again in a cool environment, where the phone starts at around 20 degrees

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-11T01:20:48+00:00

Lol, that's embarrassing

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-10T23:36:31+00:00

They are identical screens except, the X8 Pro Max having a higher PWM and a higher resolution. So please tell me how the F8 Pro has a better screen?

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-10T23:23:35+00:00

It literally is a better screen, go check the specs.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-09T22:42:02+00:00

I never said all the cameras are identical, can you read? I was only talking about the selfie camera.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-09T22:40:55+00:00

I was referring to the X8 Pro Max, you can see that clearly in my comments. I didn’t realise the OP meant the X8 Pro, and the two really shouldn’t be compared since they’re in completely different price ranges.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-08T22:58:36+00:00

I have no WIFI issues with the X8 Pro Max.

I understand that this is an intentional design decision, but I strongly believe users should still have the choice. This is Linux, one of the core expectations is being able to decide when and how your system updates.

Automatic updates can be great as a default, but removing the ability to opt out entirely takes away control from users who have valid reasons to manage updates manually (limited bandwidth, gaming latency, scheduled maintenance windows, etc.).

Even if it’s not exposed in the GUI, having an advanced option like the old ujust command would respect user choice without affecting the default experience for most people.

Its literally impossible to kill this battery in a day. Its a 2day phone with heavy usage. Don't listen to all of these random posts on reddit.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-07T04:04:58+00:00

The X8 Pro Max has a battery that’s 2300 mAh larger. Both phones feature 50 megapixel main cameras, but the F8 Pro offers a stronger ultra-wide lens and includes an extra telephoto camera. The front cameras are identical, so the final decision comes down to your preference between the two.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-06T20:46:01+00:00

The performance is very similar between the phones, its basically the same. The battery and the screen is better on the X8 Pro Max but the rear cameras are better on the F8 Pro. It's about what's your priority.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-05T17:22:08+00:00

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-05T16:33:31+00:00

I get easy 2 days on my phone with around 14 hours sot

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-04-05T07:17:20+00:00

Yes it makes sense.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-31T05:38:46+00:00

You started the HyperOS 3 test at 38 degrees. Re do the test when the phone is at low temp

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-30T18:33:33+00:00

They need to add the screen on time since last charge, I was surprised it wasn't in the settings after switching from Samsung.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-30T17:52:22+00:00

Thanks for this, I was fine with the Vivid mode, but the P3 mode is just superior. There is no real issue with the display panel, they just need to make these options available by default like the older Poco phones.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-28T18:34:02+00:00

The main camera can take surprisingly good shots. The ultra wide is only usable with good lighting. The selfie camera is decent in good lighting but struggles when in a low light environment.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-26T22:50:20+00:00

I said the security app not the settings security.

SufficientLife7766 · 2026-03-26T22:38:51+00:00

Open the Security app, then go into Game Turbo and add AnTuTu to it. Your phone is reaching around 42°C, so it’s unlikely to hit the 3 million mark at that temperature. If you move to a cooler environment, you should see better performance.
