[@gorans9756]

Although video is good as always-for me means one thing-sales for xiaomi as not good as expected. If you dig bit deeper, you will find lot of complaints from ppl which bought xiaomi phones lately. Dont get me wrong, in my family we own 3 of them, and i can tell you one thing: redmi note series is great when they are launched but they do not age very good at all. This is most probably due to MIUI

[@kankantona9070]

shprisingly f3 got the worst mic

[@raimondsstrods9753]

I had f3 for two days. It's faster than the samurai's sword. But, It has hundreds of bugs (latest miui version). It glitched on first launch when I was migrating from old phone (thank God I didn't delete anything and left it switched off). The battery is draining faster than the first pint in a pub. Camera is garbage, you only notice it when trying to make good picture. Recorded video was showing a lot of noise as well. Returned it back to xiaomi after two days. Their customer service is great actually. Maybe it's me being unlucky, but I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.

[@hermanstokbrood]

I bought the X3 NFC as an early bird but found it to bulky for my liking. When the F3 came out I bought it instead and gave the X3 to my son. The F3 didn't only look much better but it also didn't felt bulky at all. The screen is another welcome bonus, I miss the sdcard though. I think the extra money is well spend even when you compare it to the X3 pro.

[@abrarhaque3343]

R u saying no sd card slot in it?😳

[@dabiggestleech]

I would consider getting the one with more ROM storage and then you wouldn't really need to use an SDcard. So for me, I'd choose the 8GB/256GB and I can forego the sdcard, headphone jack, and fm radio for a better macro focus camera, and better display. Thoughts?

just get my Poco X3 NFC a month before official launch of X3 Pro on Indonesia yes they just launch with pretty same price, but after see some comparison, X3 NFC have a more good camera sensor. but have a bad night mode because of just using snapdragon 7 series vs 8 series in X3 Pro.

Can you tell Poco to go easy with the branding. It's almost a deal breaker for me. At least have the option to opt out with the design. Too bad it's a great phone

If it wasn't for the IPS in X3 Pro, it's a no brainer for me. Hence, I'd still choose F3 among the three. I'd choose OLED all day vs. Refresh rate.

[@obarthelemy]

Nice ! A bit of follow-though ! That's a very rare treat these days, thanks !

[@Techtablets]

No problem 👍

[@JK-wd8rx]

Despite all the hints and warnings on the internet, I ordered the poco F3 and sent it back straight away. The one with the 1200 nits brightness and the 120 Hertz display is just an annoying mess. As we all know, after the phone was released, the display dimmed even with the slightest load, so extremely that you could hardly see any content. After the alleged update it got a little better, but e.g. outside in the sunshine it starts to dim immediately, instead of getting an additional boost for brightening, as it should be. Then there is the 120 Hertz, because the entire system shuts down, switching to 60 Hertz. And then, despite the phone cooling down, don't go back to 120 Hertz. To do this, you have to tap on the already set 120 Hertz again. And that about ten times a day. One can only hope that this problem will finally be fixed with further updates!

[@dontedupree]

[@mikiswordbreaker4805]

Agree with you mate.. The X3 Pro is definitely the best option out of the 3 this year.. It has almost everything.. Performance that is almost the SD 865 level, memory card slot, jack, stereo speakers, ir blaster..and price.. As fkr camera and screen.. It maybe depends on personal opinion.. For me its good enough because I'm not into camera and the screen is also ok for me.. Still prefer LCD as it cheaper to repair.. Currently using a Galaxy A30 with AMOLED screen as my 2nd device.. And the cost to repair the screen is sad for my pocket..

[@hermanstokbrood]

I have the opportunity to compare pictures between the X3 NFC and F3 every now and then. I don't think the results of the F3 are noticeably worst and sometimes even better. Night pictures seem to be better on the F3 perhaps due the processing power of the sd870.

Xiaomi's update policy is notoriously strange(looking back at the Mi Ax where ota updates bricked devices more than once). The 12.0.8 (Android 11) is way slower and has more bugs than the 12.0.8(Android 10). A lot slower and I've had to reboot my X3 NFC twice in the last week because it froze, never happened with the previous ROMs. For whatever reason Xiaomi decided to disable fullscreen-gestures with other launchers, they only work with the Poco launcher with the Android 11 switch. It's pretty bizarre what decisions Xiaomi makes when it comes to stifle their lower-end devices through software. On a positive note though, if you use GCam 8.1 on Android 11 you get 192 kbit/s sound for videos without root.

[@kakkoishonen]

The only thing I don't like with the F3 is the AMOLED screen. I've had so many Samsung phones before but they all ended up getting the infamous oled screen burn in less than a year so I'm officially done with this type of screen. I also don't really like the weird white color on the AMOLED and its resolution (because of the pentile pixels) that seems to be less dense than the IPS (a 1080p IPS seems to be more dense in pixels than a QHD AMOLED display).

Here are my thoughts after a few days of use: -- I dislike the balance of the phone. It feels like it always wants to escape your hand ;] -- Camera is noticeably worse than from my previous phone, Note 8 Pro, which was a surprise for me since I expected similar performance. -- The phone is noticeably choppy and stutterring during whole first day or two... it mysteriously fixed itself and since day 3 it's quite a smooth experience, although I still consider flashing Pixel Experience or something, because damn even 12.5 MIUI is poo, good I didn't know what was before that. Overall, in this price range I'd go for a phone with some AMOLED display and better camera, assuming you don't play demanding games on your phone. Worse CPU also means phone drains battery slower for a cost of 0,2s longer app load times, but I don't complain about battery here, it's fine especially with this fast charge. I don't play demanding games (and that's the only reason you should buy this phone imo) so I consider this buy a miss, but it's still good enough so whatever.

Hey man its been a year now, do you still use the phone, last year around this time I brought X3 PRO witchy worked fine, but than just died, I loved the phone, it was great, so right now I'm thinking to buy F3, but I don't know if the same thing will happen with the F3, did you have any issues and does it still work fine for you?

Go to Poco f4

@@rezza_f1re why?

[@tim0steele]

Agree with everything you say. I returned my F3 and got an X3 Pro for two reasons - the battery runs down quickly on the F3 and the F3 doesn't do some things the X3 Pro does.

Nice review good sir, hope will get my unit soon for f3, still out of stock here in my area

[@82MLPGTS]

Interesting conclusions. I've owned my X3 Pro for a couple of months now and I'd say that the camera is definitely the weakest point... although I've never been one to expect my phone camera to blitz *every* scenario. Moving away from AMOLED was a pain but the quality of the LCD has largely dispelled any uncertainty.

There is gcam to the rescue

hi, i really love your videos but i'd love to hear the name of camera sensor each phones' camera uses for instance, x3 nfc's main camera is sony imx682

Thank you for this review :)

[@speedoflight33]

The internal frame is not plastic at all : it is made of "silumin" ... a mix of aluminium and silicon (lighter and more resistant to the corosion than the aluminium itself) This is the case in POCO F3/X3 Pro & X3 NFC ! Cheers

Will you do blackview tablets?

Hi For pubg mobile which one i should buy ? Poco x3 pro Poco f3 Thanks

About the 120hz changes to 60hz is true, with additional screenshot in dark mode will lead to a dimmer screenshot, and much saddening is the ultra wide on f3 is not even 60 frames on 1080p
