[@irugadark123]

I've Been using the F3 for years now and now and from what i experience. the ultrawide and macro is not good and the main camera struggles in low light condition but performs well on daylight. from gaming when playing genshin impact it gets very hot when doing spiral abyss usually 44 to 48 but for explorations it's ok. watching movies or series is a great experience especially when there are times that i dont use headset and 2 speakers give an immersive that give a compact surround sound experience.

how about the battery brother? it's still good?

[@PasarMahdi]

@happyplaytime5437 so far it's good. When full charged It holds up for a day for basic use and for heavy gaming it holds up for like 3 or maybe 4 hours the last time i remember (I don't play on it anymore). I do experience some overheating in summer but other than that I'm still satisfied.

You’re welcome Shane! 😃

[@lamarmottedesinternets5134]

I have the top model 8+256GB poco f3 and besides a few minor software glitches like with the gallery draining battery (I use Piktures now), it's been GREAT. It still looks sexy, is super smooth, can play Alien Isolation at high settings, doesn't heat THAT much. I changed the battery twice, I know it inside and out and it's a great machine. For the low prices we can find it today, it's a great deal. Some people say that the cameras are meh, I disagree, if you're just an occasional shooter, and if you're aware of the limitations and how to properly utilize it, you can get very satisfactory pics!

One thing i noticed about the F3 is that the punch hole is the front facing camera is being expanded by software. When I'm in video calls using messenger and i minimize messenger there is a white vignette caused by the brightness of the screen and you can visibly see the difference of the hole punch size.

Wow didn't expect that you'll be doing a video for POCO F3 in 2024, anyways I'm still using my POCO F3 until now the only thing that i have a little problem with it is the camera performance for me the contrast is too high so i use Gcam and Pixel Config to make my photos looks good. And the battery well it's normal to degrade the battery but yeah i replaced it on February 2024 with a new one and original and guess what my battery is back to normal which is i can use up to 10-13hours screen on time with normal usage, Scrolling social media, slight gaming, Listening music. About the software it's sad that it wont receive android 14 update but if you have a knowledge about Unlocking the bootloader, Installing custom rom you wont having a problem with updates, cause now I'm running on PixelOS Android 14 and it's so stable and good for daily drive 🥰 so yeah i still love my POCO F3 performance still a beast 🔥 POCO F3 + Custom ROM is on another level, Pure stock android= you'll see the full potential of the F3
