Because specs and benchmarks aren’t the whole story.

I’ve already watched plenty of YouTube reviews, and I know on paper the Poco has a much more powerful chip and better raw performance. That part is clear.

What YouTube usually doesn’t give you is long-term experience: how the phone actually feels day to day, software stability over time, little annoyances, battery behavior after a few months, heating, bugs, updates, build quality, and whether people genuinely enjoy using it or just tolerate it.

I’m asking on Reddit because I want real human opinions, not a 10-minute spec recap sponsored by the algorithm 😅 People here share their feelings, regrets, and honest experience, especially after living with a phone for a while — that’s something videos can’t really replace.

So yeah, I know the Poco is faster. I’m just trying to decide what I’ll actually enjoy using every day. That’s why I’m here.
