the OS is missing features, i'll give you that. but it's never as buggy as the 300€ phones people compare it to. trust me, i owned a Poco X3.

Missing features? It's more or less stock Android with a different launcher. Which features are missing? 😯

I miss mostly small details. example: an option only have the fingerprint reader activate if the power button is pressed (when screen is off). why? cause the fingerprint sensor is the power button, and it's the place I happen to hold the phone at when putting it IN my pocket, often unlocking it. it also keeps vibrating with 'negative detection' haptic feedback when just handling the phone, and any part of the hand touches the sensor.

there are quite a few options like this missing that area common on other phones.
