Redmi Turbo 3 / POCO F6 Review

Redmi Turbo aka POCO F6 review. The good and the bad of this new POCO F6 / Redmi Turbo 3. I got it here: www.giztop.com...

[@mokisan]

Chris as usual fantatsic review! And thank you so much for still being the only youtuber for mentioning about the 3.5 and sd card slot and including them in the con list. People dont realise how much of a pro feature these are and removing these profits the company by shoving ephemeral products like tws or paying the company more for storage which i can have and transport easily. This is one of the reason i love your reviews and always recommend and share your reviews to my mates and family

[@Techtablets]

Glad I could help! Really silly now even the midrange Redmi's lost the 3.5mm.

[@mokisan]

@@Techtablets ya! Even the midrange is seeing this 😭

[@alanyee4996]

But he is being picky as only mentioning the 3.5mm and Sd card into the con list for this smartphone, but doesn't put as cons for other smartphone of almost similar price tag and higher price tag. I can only agree if those cons are being put on every smartphone that don't has these features.

Look for k70 pro, if only xiaomi brought that one out as the f6 pro plus xD

[@oleb.7146]

Still using the Poco F5 as my second phone (for outdoor activities), main phone is the Xiaomi 14, and I love the headphone jack on the F5, no need to upgrade for me with this. Thx Chris for the vid!!

Both are lastest model why are you thinking to upgrade lol

@@FaddliSyamsul Bro just wants to support the China at this point

[@zodiacfml]

6:14 you did it again, the first to put out the performance of the 8sGen3. 3D perf slightly better than the Poco X6 Pro which has a score of 2000+. If this is going to be the F6 then price going to be a lot higher than this Redmi which is opposite historically. Poco's prices became out of whack as the brand became popular and people did not notice the price inflation. Poco should also have bypass charging by now. Consider asking for review samples of Tecno/Infinix phones, I think they will be the next Poco and could be good for your channel.

[@mikedecruze8018]

Thanks for another great review. I'm really frustrated with the market, why can't there be a good phone with Esim, SDcard, usb-c 3.2 support? Is it really too much to ask?

[@Techtablets]

Too much to ask as brands want to push you to a flagship for that and much more $$$.

[@mikedecruze8018]

@@Techtablets OK, I would pay more but then the "flagship models" take away the SDCARD, it is so frustrating. Why less features for more money, makes no sense to me.

[@Tai_Pov]

You can't get anything better for that kind of price, with flagship performance, in asia it sit around 250 to 270usd

[@MienLeHoang]

though I know it's a gaming focus line up, but that camera footage dancing on it own rymth is ridiculous, lol. It's just too bad that no one ever wanna use it =)))

[@Techtablets]

That focus pulsing an old issue that is back sadly!

[@ChuckNORRlS]

YEY ! thanks for reviewing it, i'm expecting a mediocre camera but did not watch yet :D

[@Techtablets]

Well you are right on the money there!

[@David_Denali]

Tnx for reviewing the phone before the Poco F6 comes out. I have a question tho. Some say Samsungs have faster UI and btr displays (color and clarity wise) despite being inferior on paper. Is that rly the case? (For instance this phone vs the S23FE). Ty again

[@sephlin]

I think the reason s23fe sucks is the chipset, it's samsung way to get rid of there left over exynox before moving to snapdragon for their new phones.

[@OneDollaBill]

Pretty impressive midranger. specially if it (f6) ends up being sub 400 Euros in Europe. Basically poco x6 pro but with Qualcomm chipset and different cameras. Interesting one

[@MattZildjian]

cameras look so goofy, why so big when the lens only occupies like 20% of the area. the whole back of the phone looks cheap unfortunately. The design of the poco line has gone downhill since F2 pro, with each version looking cheaper and uglier than the last.

[@dannyboots]

These are actually on the more normal looking end of cameras

[@daviddave6716]

Wait for iphone 16 ang 16 plus design 😂😂😂

[@bobamarmstrong]

Xiaomi are doing it in all of their phones : fake big camera. Ridiculous

[@nessele]

Well because it is actually cheap..

[@shibujha1]

i always hate these nit picking peoples, the phone is literally offering a 12bit Dolby Vision certified bezel-less display and bro is more interested in back more then the front which we will use everytime

[@David_Denali]

Wn u say haptics r average, is that compared to flagships or midrangers? Cz I got a Poco F3 and the haptics r pretty good. Hope they haven't regressed

[@rrageneral1499]

They haven't regressed and the haptics are really good Above average even compared to the best flagships

[@Techtablets]

Well because it is is a very meh buzz. Should be stronger the F3 is really good one of the best still!

[@flyinghigh4738]

I had the Poco F3 as a secondary and bought the Redmi Turbo 3, just got in today. The Poco F3 haptics are a little better I feel.

[@IMUSTHCOOSEANEWNAMEB]

I think those midrange phones with excellent hardware and dubious camera sensors are a mistake, we're way past that time where you needed a flagship to game comfortably, any midranger will game fine these days. But a midranger taking worse photos/videos than some budget phones? That must be a hard sale!

[@Techtablets]

Certainly needs some work, the pulsing with video is horrible!

[@zodiacfml]

it's not camera hardware but software. my X3 pro has close-slightly inferior camera hardware compared this one but it is sufficient for me, and I'm a long time hobby photographer. This Redmi is also Turbo branding which means minimal camera hardware for powerful chipset for the same price of other Redmi models.

[@f.iph7291]

@@zodiacfml you are literally saying what xiaomi says lol. The cameras on this are scraps leftout from 4 years ago. Basically everything is from 4 years ago. If you buy this phone it's like you are having 2020 level of phone quality in your hands. Imagine paying the full price of a new 2024 BMW that is just faster than the 2020 model with the same exact options! Why would you buy that when you can buy a 2020 model with good enough performance for 1/5th of the price? It's because of people like you and me believing in big companies and buying these scraps that xiaomi literally improve nothing in these poco lineups.

[@zodiacfml]

​@@f.iph7291 it's alright to use old parts, even Samsung or Apple does this on their flagships. The problem is the price or people continue pay despite higher prices. Poco was the affordable brand years ago. If this going to be the Poco F6, then Poco branding has become more expensive than Redmi branding

[@SLAYER-nm5zw]

​@@f.iph7291 unfortunately its true, i agree with you

[@TechNomadUK1]

Hello. With the Poco F6 I'm more interested if the nonstop focus hunting when recording a video (using the main camera) is still present or has been improved since? Are colours on the main and selfie camera show natural, true to life colours the way you see in real life? Is there still skin smoothing on the selfie camera? And are the front & rear cameras HDR been improved as well? I have the OnePlus 10T and not sure if I'll trade in or not.

[@craigjoe8691]

Great review. No 3.5mm, no purchase for me. Nuff said.

[@camotech1314]

Enjoy using budget phones bro

[@TheGrizz485]

The poco f5 had b20 and the poco f6 should have it. Also its always worth testing Gcam on cheap phone as they usually result in a nice pump in image quality on cheap phone.

[@Techtablets]

Global version as the POCO will have it for sure. But this import version doesn't.

[@TheGrizz485]

@@Techtablets not that i recommend doing it but installing a global rom on many redmi phones usually unlocks additional bands like b20. its mostly a software lock only that was the case with note12 turbo when installing global poco f5 rom.

[@DSS553]

I'm pretty happy with my Redmi Note 12 Pro. But you have to remember to disable all the ads that they preinstall the OS to display.

[@HShango]

Which is easy to do, I have done all that on my Poco X3 pro and X6 pro

​@@HShango how you do it?

[@jiffonbuffo]

​@@yusuftirtaalfatih6888Uh... You search Xiaomi related communities/resources like reddit, youtube searches, social media groups? You don't need to wait for his answer.

[@solas1183]

I think it's worth spending an extra 40-50 euro to get a redmi k70, Oneplus Ace 3 or Iqoo 9. This type of phone is in a kind of category where you get a lot more for a little more money. At least if you want a better main camera then then those phones for 40-50 more will give that as well as generally better specs. A solid phone nevertheless

[@sitadadi]

Hi There Chris, great review as always. I am really interested in this phone however I have never purchased a 'Chinese Edition' phone before so I have a few concerns. Would really appreciate your assistance. Giztop mentions the below in the listing description on their website: This phone is a Chinese edition, comes with full Google Mobile Service and Google Play store installed, and OTA updating supported. Are the OTA updates automatic and are there any major limitations using the device Globally since it a 'Chinese' version? If I purchase one, what will I be giving up?

[@kenadroider]

Please do a review with the Moondrop MIAD 1 😅

[@Roko-jb5hl]

is that out?

[@bindedvision404]

Can you review about the Realme GT5 Pro? Haven't review the phone by many

[@delpinsky]

These kind of phones shouldn't cost more than 250€ in my opinion. That Ultra Wide camera is just nonsense as it is. Very poor. Weird they didn't add the usual 2MP macro junk 😂 I used to recommend a Redmi phones to friends, at around 200€, but now you're forced to spend 100€+ more. Thanks for the review, Chris!

[@dacmm]

No Android Auto?!? Never heard that before, massive BS and an instant deal breaker...

[@catman99]

It's a Chinese phone for the the China market, if there's a global rom then it will get Auto

[@Bilal.Hussain.Shaikh]

It's amazing phone for 300$(or less in some regions)😍, what if Poco F6 comes with Dimensity Processors, and probably price would be 350$, I'm just speculating here😁 KITTY!!! 😻

[@Techtablets]

Really amazing value for what it offers. F6 could be Mediatek we really don't know but I have a feeling it will be very close to this.

[@wizzgamer]

[@Cal316326]

No SD card and 3.5mm are dealbreakers for me. Thanks for pointing that out

[@razz9266]

Bro thanks for the video. I want you to battle this Poco F6 with Realme GT 6 which release this week, also between HyperOS with Realme UI 5. Which one is stronger 💪💪, because I want to buy one of those. ❤

[@GinsuSher]

Pretty big con of the lack of 3.5mm audiojack and sdcard support. A really big turn off for me. I think I'll be looking at some other brand for an upgrade.

[@Xfade81]

Perhaps it was an ideaa to factory reset the device to see what bloat would actually be there. Thanks for the review!

Bro what The result is very obvious How dare you to compare a top phone in all the things vs phones that are focused in performance ? Like, seriously?

[@Nemesis_678]

S24 fe wins in everything except chipset(which contains 5g modem too)

[@huychau7551]

your review is quite informative, however you lacked the most important thing that was you did not test the notification and some google services such as: google meet, and google duo, because when chinese phone usually misses a lot notifications and some google service is not stable on the phone, it will have a profound impact on user.

[@naguitnicolejohnb.4521]

the notifications are a bit delay but it can be fixed on the settings. Also, all google app works just fine

[@ssb9054]

Was thinking about buying this phone, but i will skip this one

[@andrei.mariano]

Woah, the Front Cam Video looks so much better than my Poco F5 Pro. But the same issue with the focus exposure pulsing thing. Why does that happen with a lot of Poco? That's the same issue with my Poco X3 NFC as well. And I can hear the lenses moving in my recorded videos 💀😂

[@hafiz5375]

Can u consider review Oneplus Ace 3V Consider to make backup phones & how much region lock will effect on daily uses

That might be finally be a worthy successor for my Redmi K20 Pro. Unfortnately still punchhole camera but the rest looks very promising. Can we still unlock the bootloader on HyperOS?

[@HShango]

I don't think so, xiaomi did say they will be getting strict about the bootloader stuff Xiaomi: You can unlock the bootloader if You have not yet unlocked three Xiaomi devices with your account (only three devices can be unlocked in a year with one user account) 2024

[@victormarian7889]

Is it curved laterally, the screen I mean, that would not be a bonus, added to No card ...

[@kodaph]

I was actually thought, following the trend from Poco F5 (Redmi Note 12 Turbo), that it should have had the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 3. 8sGen3 falls behind its GPU which could be a let down to some which uses their phone for GPU intensive tasks like photo editing and rendering...

[@marioehw]

To be honest. I believe since the focus group for the F series are value performance seekers, personally I´ve liked to see a single good quality camera rather than one ok and a second meh one. Other than that, for the price I think that´s the most they can make for the phone along with expandable storage. I´m still an F3 user, and will upgrade this time but competition is now fierce with new brands entering the market.

[@cutecats746]

I also have the F3. So what phone did you buy and are you happy with the upgrade?

[@marioehw]

@@cutecats746 I bought they F6. The upgrade it's worth it (I don't use it for gaming so i don't care about The overheating issues). But, if you have money to spend, i would recomend the Xiaomi 14 or galaxy s24 (snapdragon versión).

[@johndemi7588]

Im currently using an iqoo neo8 china rom and there is 50/50 chance that a call or message from apps like facebook messenger would not get notifications, i have another phone (global) and i signed in my account on both and half the time i would get a call from both of them (giving me option to choose which one to use to pick it up) but the other half the call would only go to the global one. So i wonder if this issue is limited to the os (origin) or in china rom in general? Would china rom redmi suffer from it as well? They use use the same os (hyper os), so perhaps not?

Screen specs are almost always lied about by the Chinese. They know 99.9% of people don’t have the equipment to measure color accuracy and brightness, so they just lie.
