Budget 15-20K Spoiled by Poco F1 - looking for a 5G alternative

Running my Poco F1 as main daily driver for the last 5 years :
  • Compact at 6.1"
  • Legendary custom rom support - I have each year flashed the new android version of custom rom and each was better than the default Mi OS.
  • Easily replaceable battery - have replaced 4 times (from amazon and mobatree). and have been thus getting 10+ hours sot from day 1.
Now that I genuinely need 5G and looking around for alternatives in less than 20k. Please advice if there is one.

F1 User here.
Im also in facing the same dilemma.

What rom are you using by the way? Also suggest a rom for good battery backup.

My views on ROM : I have been part of TG group of various F1 rom groups. and the "best" vary by version. For example - for A11 I used arrow os, for A12 PE rom, for A13 Pixel OS was one of the best etc. Also, clean flashing the last build of each version will give you max stability (for ex, last build of A13 Pixel os released in Q4 2023)

My views on battery: There is only a miniscule difference in battery among roms. You can join the TG groups to find and compare among them. The real difference in battery only comes from battery replacement when the health of the current battery is degraded. Luckily so easy to do in F1.
