Did you have a Dimensity equipped phone so you can talk about it? It is fast and stable, in some respects it is better than the Qualcomm counterpart.

This is going to be rebranded as a Poco X series rather than F series. Unless Xiaomi revive the F GT series than this would be in the X series since all F series have only featured high-end Snapdragon SoCs.

I thought this was meant to be X8 Pro because the Redmi Turbo 5 was supposedly rebranded to X8?
