    Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro). I honestly only really got it because it had a wild discount on AliExpress back in 2020 and wanted to give MIUI a try. However since then I’ve put TWRP and a custom ROM on it (MIUI isn’t terrible but it seems to kill apps far too much and I’m not big on the ads within the actual OS).

    I continue to use it because it still performs great and the battery life is pretty good (usually get about 2 days charge on it), and the custom ROM community around it is pretty reliable too. Plus it has a pop up camera so I definitely know when my phone is trying to look at me.

    Not really found much to dislike to be honest, though I guess the camera could be a bit better. It’s definitely helped along with good software though (especially either GCam or the MIUI camera).

      Have you had the connector between the battery and the charging connector fail yet? If not, it might be a good idea to stock up one one. I’ve had to replace mine once and it might be failing again just six months later.

        No, I’ve honestly never heard that be a thing for this phone. Do you drop it frequently or something? Never had any charging issues.

          Great, let’s hope it stays that way. The problem seems to be somewhat common from what I’ve read. I try to take care with charging it but it seems to be bend related, at least I was able to charge my phone only when it was bent a bit backwards when it was giving up.

          My friend’s one broke in less than a year and for some reason they were given their money back without anyone even trying to fix it.
