Snapdragon support GPS L1+L5 bands from Snapdragon 845 in 2018. Some device from 5 years ago, such as Poco F1 and Xiaomi Mi 8 both support GPS L1+L5 signal.
Redmi Note 12 Turbo use Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 which also supports GPS L1+L5 .
But Xiaomi DISABLED GPS L5 on Redmi Note 12 Turbo. Will they disable it on Poco F5 too?
Maybe it's software restricts, any method to bypass?
There is a app to test if your device support GPS L1+L5. If someone buys this phone, I hope you can test it in this app.

On Poco F5 Pro the same case, L5/E5 not available
I'm switching from POCO F2 Pro and I'm wondering about a return because we're going back technologically
It does seem odd that they would disable it, but I highly doubt that you would actually notice a practical difference in normal use. This article suggests that only 17 satellites are operational for L5, and anything less than 18-24 is of limited use. They are not launching more until 2027, so there is no rush to have it in phones.

I confirm that F5 Pro (mondrian) also lacks L1 and L5 bands.
Same here only poco f5 Google maps always shows low accuracy and not able to calibrate, only show high after I clear app data, but once the.app is opened for the second time.. thing go back to low accuracy mode and nothing can be done until app data is cleared. This looks accuracy becomes troublesome when in Walk mode in maps

Elephone Q according to the official specs boasts of 110hours of standby time or 4hours of talk time which is pretty good for a palm sized smartphone. The back cover is made of plastic which can be swapped to other colors.
Elephone Q is one of those unique devices that target the lower-entry level smartphones, it will be really interesting to see what type of market Elephone is trying to target and see if we can see this trend being continued in the future. The pricing of the device is yet to be disclosed. We feel it will be priced around $40.

550mAh
lol.
I wud like 2 play gta san andreas in it
someone has played San Andreas on it, well a version of it, the Posh Mobile Micro x S240. (both based off the Alps S240B I believe)
I just got one of these (The Posh Mobile one) today. so far its interesting, paid 50 dollars US for it, wanted to see what it was all about. yes its small REALL SMALL lol, only dual core 1 ghz, 4gb storage, 512 mb ram, 2.45 inch screen. but funny thing, at least in benchmarks, its not as bad as I expected lol. I read about the screen size and was still surprised when I opened the package today. it reminds me of a old Samsung MP3 player from like 12 years ago. a very slim one (YP-T9, but without the dpad). Been loading various tools and such on it to see how it does. the Camera is nothing special lol. but I can deal with that
Does somebody have it? If so, can you please confirm if Pokemon Go runs on it both through 3G connection and hotspot from other device? It is for a project I've got in mind. Thx in advance!!
Can someone with the Redmi Note 8 verify that the phone supports dual-frequency GNSS?
Dual-frequency GNSS means that the phone can get really good positioning (down to 30 centimeters).
GPS (US), GLONASS (RU), Galileo (EU), etc all can be used with a dual-frequency GNSS phone for better accuracy.
To figure out whether the Redmi Note 8 really does support GNSS,
Install GPSTest (Play Store), or GPSTest (Fdroid).
Run GPSTest and let the phone get a location fix.
Post a screenshot like the following. This screenshot is NOT from a Redmi Note 8 phone. Look at the Carrier Frequency (CF) column. We need to see either L5 (GPS) or E5 (Galileo) to be use that the phone really has a dual-frequency GNSS chipset. Most phones have a single-frequency GNSS chipset.
If the Redmi Note 8 does indeed supports dual-frequency GNSS, then we can add to the list of Android devices with dual-frequency GNSS.

Hi!
Thanks for taking the screenshot. Here is the direct image of your URL. It shows many satellites, including Galileo. However, it does not show any L5 or E5 frequencies, which either means that the phone did not get a chance to get a fix on L5 or E5 frequencies, or that it does not support dual frequencies for GNSS.
Another way to verify whether the phone actually supports dual-frequency GNSS, is to find a good teardown article that shows photos of all chipsets in the phone.
i will be able to test a Redmi note 8T later this week when it arrives too.
update: Note 8T.
Thanks for testing!
Then the Redmi Note 8 or 8T do not support dual-frequency GNSS. Emphasis on the dual-frequency.
I know this is an old thread, but now my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro does show all 4 global systems. See the attached screenshot. And that's not the only ones visible to my phone; the list continues. I don't see much point in adding more.
hot.
Hi! Just ordered a redmi note 8 pro. My mi 8 dieda couple of days ago and I wanted a quick and cheap replacement.
I play a lot of pubg and cod.
Anyone tried benchmarking the fps (with gltools or gamebench for example), does RN8 pro keep 60 fps even for long periods of time? Mi 8 had som throttling problems, when the phone got warm, it lost performance and fps..
Been som news about RN8 pro heating. Does it throttle also?
Any way to stop the throttling? with FDE-AI or similar apps, anyone tried?
Found some tests on youtube. Doesnt seem to be able to keep 60 fps on lowest settings.. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=redmi+note+8+pro+fps+test
I am also thinking on buying either RN8 Pro or realme 5 Pro. I have seen a lot videos on youtube.
And I think its performance is better as compared to Realme 5 Pro but every Youtubers mentioned one thing in particular that heats up a little bit.
I am currently on Redmi Note 3 Helio P60 Variant. Even its performance is very satisfying for me with pubgfx Tool on Smooth + Ultra.
So it is going to be an upgrade for me either way. ??
It wont throttle and heat as much if you set it to Smooth Extreme. If you set it to HDR Ultra then the device will heat up, but it won't throttle.
For COD, High-High 60fps stable, heat is tolerable
I got the phone and are satisfied so far. Not quite as fast as mi 8. I noticed that game turbo improves performance and reduces throttling.
You can check these scores. One with game turbo, one without. you notice that without it throttles alot more

No, have only tried miui 11.
Any updates on your impressions?
as a former poco f1 user, i'd say its about on par with it as far as performance goes (on paper there is about 15% more power to the poco f1) the main reason i switched to this phone was the display and the bigger battery for the most part i'd say the display is better then the poco's especially because the notch is basically gone, as for battery i'd its around the same or the redmi note 8 pro is a little bit better, also i only switched to this phone cause i had a chance to do so for free and i don't regret switching honestly.
I play pubg daily (ace rank). Performance is good. Most of the time you get 60 fps, some dips to 40-50 fps at start of landing at hot drops. TDM and mostly domination feels laggier. Might be those game modes...
Hello,
(I specify that I do not play any game)
My brand new s20 is at 40 ° all the time, it is very unpleasant to handle it, I always have the impression that my hands are very hot and the phone is often lukewarm. I saw on forums that this was a known issue with the S20s.
What is your temperature of your S20 in normal use? (I specify that I do not play)
Here are my measurements made with CPU monitor: CPU: 39 / Battery: 37
So I'm asking you what are your temperatures?
I'm pissed off because I don't know which fairly compact high-end phone there is nothing on the android side at all.
Thank you
Debloat useless system apps and your temperature will be fine.
I had the same problem in the first days.
I have debloated all i could...
Can you give me your temprature after a 10-15min normal use with CPU Monitor please ?

Nah, that was mine just idling, this is after being used normally for a while, depends on your ambient temps too, if your room is hot your phone will be hotter than usual
