@@qud3913 probably by the time this is still using it for days, probably has not notice this, some users reported that Poco F3 screen dims when gaming, which defeats the purpose of having it Amoled. I do like to game when the screen is brighter at most to see more details, esp. enemies on CODM.

Its just like headphones you wont know what you have is bad until you use the good ones because there is no benchmark numbers for it and it isnt faulty either. For my gps example the samsung would instantly lock when leaving underground car park while the xiaomi took some minutes on the road to lock despite faster cpu and more often lose signal when passing under a bridge compared to the samsung.

Just bought this - can't praise it enough. I'm actually downgrading from a $1500 Galaxy Z fold 2, and I haven't noticed any difference in speed/build quality/screen/user experience. It's genuinely flagship level. I even really like MIUI 12.5! I can understand why people criticised MIUI 12.0, but 12.5 is honestly a big big upgrade. The camera is the only thing that stops it being a true flagship - you'll notice the difference between a Galaxy S21 Ultra camera and an F3, without a doubt. But it's still a good camera. And if good is all you are looking for, then this is the deal of the century

Ordered in 13 Feb 2022, got it for a good price at 1150aed (around 320usd). Died yesterday 2 December 2022, motherboard problem, the phone goes into bootloop whenever the CPU heats a bit, or turns off when pushing the CPU while using demanding apps. Note that the phone is stock, not modified in anyway, no flash nothing. This is the only phone that died on me from all the other phones I have owned, which are plenty, from premium to cheapos, and it got fried in less than a year! Even my Samsung Note II is still working fine! I used to say Poco f3 is good value, you can get 3 for the price of a premium phone, I take it back, the headache of loosing all your data during a wipe to get it to partially work again is not worth it.

Excellent review! Thanks again for that! Was waiting all the time for your review, because you are the one to trust on when it comes to reliability and honesty. I find myself in a tricky situation though. I am still rocking the F1 6/128 and when I heard the rumors about the Redmi Note 10 Pro, I was thinking - oh boy, that's the one to replace the F1 with. Now Xiaomi released not only the Redmi Note 10 Pro, but also the X3 Pro and the F3 in a couple of days and I do not know what to do :-D. Only half a year ago I got my 2+ years old F1 a new battery, so battery life is still excellent. It is still super fast and super smooth, too - i might only be missing NFC, AMOLED and a bit more storage as I am using dual SIM and do not want to go for the dual SIM + microSD experiments again. Now I have a lot of pros and cons for all of the three models... Each of them is a great phone, but as all of them have been released at the same time, I do not know which one to choose and might even stay with the F1. A big pro of the Redmi Note 10 Pro for me is the option to go for 2 SIMs and a microSD card. Furthermore, it obviously has a 3,5mm headphone jack, NFC, a huge battery, a 120Hz amoled screen and a slightly better camera than the competitors (?). Cons are the slower CPU and that there is no availability in 256GB stock. The X3 Pro again is the cheapest of the lot, with a speedy CPU, NFC, a 120Hz screen, a headphone jack and a huge battery. It also comes with a 256GB version for less then 250 EUR. The camera, though, is not the best and it lacks the AMOLED screen. The F3 is probably the one with the best built. It also has the fastest CPU and 5G, although the latter one is not that important to me. The AMOLED is also a 120Hz one, even though it might be a bit dimmer (?). The camera is good, but not top notch. It has NFC but no extendable storage and it lacks a headphone jack. Also, the battery capacity might be the lowest of the three. And the price is the highest for the 256GB variant. The F1 again is probably one of the best daily drivers I ever had. With the GCam port its camera is excellent. Battery life is fantastic. It can fall to the floor without ever breaking and I love the face ID option via infrared. Also, the CPU is still very potent and does not fall behind in anything I do. The only issue might be that there won't be that many future updates. A huge point is also that I have to migrate around 200 apps with settings which will cost a lot of time, e.g. banking etc. So I might just stay with the F1 which is probably the most rational choice to make. But then again, all these others choices are really tempting... Great set of smartphones, I have to admit, Xiaomi. And great set of reviews, Chris!

Thank you so much Chris.... You save me money, life's work.

[@Techtablets]

Haha no worries and thanks for watching I hope they add DC dimming support

[@kodaph]

I wish you could get your hands on Mi 11 Lite (5G version) as well. More Power.

[@smellymomo]

Wow! This is really detailed. Thanks for the video. Btw you live in a really beautiful place.

[@sahilgurung8876]

Is the mic on par with the iphone and samsung flagships???

[@luchdvilleneuve6384]

Thank you very much for the review. It feels so perfect to me in terms of Price/quality benchmark. Thanks for confirming my first impressions during the launch event. I do however regret the camera overall performance and i would have paid bit more for 64mpx at least. On the other hand for gaming it's a great value for money phone.

[@Techtablets]

So far the 48MP is better than the 64MP in the K40 Pro

[@King-um5no]

try installing GCAM its so worth it :D

[@EmileNani]

I use you as a guide when I'm ready to buy a new Xiaomi Phone. Used your review of the Mi 6 now using you again for the Poco F3. Cheers

[@sevenevens100]

As usual, detailed review mate, waiting to order mine this 27th

[@harujefferson9045]

Hello What brand of earbuds can you recommend for the poco f3?

[@ricomarcesconde24]

Sir how to fix that dimming about that screen brightness out door? Thanks

[@Techtablets]

Not sure just need to make sure you're not in the sun and getting it too hot.

[@ricomarcesconde24]

Well thank you sir for that information... but for you sir is that a big issue about the phone?

[@ricomarcesconde24]

Because im planning to buy that phone

[@bryanramos6123]

[@subisisniki]

Is it a hardware or software problem?

[@alligrolandb.5855]

GREATEST REVIEWER EVERRRRR❤️

[@hotaryuzaki]

the best review i've ever seen, so detail.. good job. just subscribe

[@alan9047]

Great review Chris!! That battery life is almost too good to be true i mean 14 hours on 120hz amazing, what is weird to me is that Note 10 Pro has larger battery but it got 11h20min in 120hz test 🤔

[@JohnRossOfficialYT]

Maybe because of the chipset lodi.

[@alan9047]

@@JohnRossOfficialYT yeah maybe Snapdragon 870 is more efficent

[@Techtablets]

More efficient but also the same test the SD888 in the K40 pro did worse. So it's more to do with rom optimization.

[@acocabarkapa]

Chriss, one question? What si better camera phone redmi note 10 pro ot poco f3 ? And display quality?

[@antoniogordo4149]

Now I am sad that I spent 200€ in the x3

[@arpitpandit391]

Poco x3?

[@mksvinay3501]

Try to click gear icon and disable suggestions for further Xiaomi devices and mention it in video, so that the viewers who wants to buy gets the trick in the sleve and just uses their phone bloatware free. And also say that disable GetApps Notifications. - Just like deleting bloatware apps.

[@edeeedee9153]

is amoled screen not good for eyes I got red eyes and tears when watching any smartphone but ips screen have no problem

[@notagain2856]

Then, the Mi 10T is more suitable for you

[@menzac8892]

Have you tried reducing the brightness? :D Or maybe you have problem with DC modulation?

[@jimkrom]

@@notagain2856 even better the new moto g100. Same specs as the f3 (8gig) maybe better (slightly) cameras and an ips instead of oled for 469 usd...

Is 4k eis good? Which one do u suggest me for video and photo Quality? Realme 8 pro, oppo reno 5, pocco f3?

[@GiantPotato7]

If you can uninstall it, it's not a bloatware. Google on the other hand has many bloatware that can't be uninstalled

[@vgamedude12]

I hate all the Google trash on my phone

[@pawelgrzegorziwaniuk]

Hi. Can the POCO F3 shoot RAW photos on the any of its cameras?

[@gollumchess]

How's the Haptic feedback compared to Pixel 4a & Oneplus 8T?

[@suancasaes8955]

buddy, which color streak the most, is the scratches more visible, black or white?

Great review sir 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I can't believe I've been a subscriber for years. The phone tech thru the years has evolved a lot! 😯

[@Techtablets]

Thank you for the years!

[@JPnielsen]

No headphone jack, no micro SD, mediocre cameras. No thanks

[@Zendovo]

Does the F3 have dual sim 5G/5G or 5G/4G or 5G/disabled?

dunno how to react to this. but best of luck to both of you. may success always be with you.

[@sal.e_h]

Hi Chris. K40 Pro or this one? (Considering camera setup)

[@mamou1354]

can you have your headphones connected and charging it at the same time?

[@mrt8096]

This is what the Oneplus One was back in the day. Love it. Just ordered it.

[@inflamespwn]

How are you liking your f3?

[@khurramalitabish5665]

Does the camera struggle with exposure and white balance and can i use gcam on this phone?
