Hey darius a suggestion for you: Your thumbnails look a lot like fake review channels what I mean is they will have the phone in the thumbnail but not in the video. So I avoid thoose videos. But I have been unintencinally avoiding your vids as well. So maybe changing the thumbnails slightly will help? I think there are other people like me so I just wanted to point it out
Your older thumbnails are good. Try to include the devices picture from the real world (Make thumbnail from real world images of the devices) You did it before so you know how :)
@@damnshrek5460 Yes, both phones on 120Hz. Both not in dark mode. If set to dark mode, Poco F3 will have even better battery life because of its AMOLED display.
That's because f3 have better hexagon dsp, 860 and 870 have about the same cpu performance and battery consumption, but the 870 hexagon dsp have more extension to process more instruction that usually done by cpu,
To be honest, your battery life tests are the most realistic out there.. The standby time for me is the most crucial because no one uses phone from 100 percent to 0 without a break.. Kudos to you for this and now I will watch battery test only from you
Standby battery performance of this phone is garbage. I have it for about a week, and during the night, it drops 25-40 percent, just sitting there. Even without always-on-display. In fact, i saw no difference in battery drain between AOD on or off.

Glad you all like the battery test! If you did, I'm sure you'll also like my real world battery test of POCO M3 Pro: ruclips.net/video/cJdx1qo7b0U/видео.html Btw what other videos would you like to see on Poco F3 and X3 Pro?
I'm using X3 since December without any problems. Its the best phone with best camera I ever had though I was a hardcore fan of Sony but I couldn't resist Xioami X3 and it changed my perspective on Chinese phones. Also I was going nfor F3 but I realize I need 5000+ mAh battery as I only charge once a day for 30 min and use the phones for hours without having a thought about battery and also need a 3.5mm jack for games. For gamers its X3 or X3 pro and for normal users its F3.
Yeah, I'm still a huge earphone jack fan so I'd stick with the X3 Pro for now despite having a lower chipset and battery life. I'm not much of a heavy user since my schedule is tight and I don't like spending too much on sound systems and prefer the faster response when I play rhythmic or drum games with wired earphones.
That standby time drain is so good. But I mostly don't have a problem with standby time battery drainage on any of my phone except when I use custom ROM with buggy Kernel. I don't know why many reviewers talk as if Android in general has problem with standby battery drain, I don't think iPhone can perform any better regarding that standby.
Wow. And I almost went with the X3 Pro just for the larger battery. Will probably go for the F3 now, although I really don't like losing the micro SD slot
@यांत्रिक अभियांत्रिकी -by Vivek That's also a big sacrifice. I think the biggest thing making me lean toward the F3 now is that it seems to run quite a bit cooler than the X3 Pro. But I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait a bit longer to decide.
Well done Darius hands down the best battery drain test on RUclips I have been searching so many tests and none of them show actually use case scenarios like you do for example the zoom call. Thank you very much and keep up the great work.👍🙏
Guys, I have the f3 (great phone, I seriously love it) and with regular use it lasts, but I also noticed that when gaming the phones battery drains significantly faster (and it does get hot pretty quickly, not because it can't handle stuff and it isn't uncomfortable, but it got to 44 degrees Celsius while playing a pretty simple game after 15 minutes)
There is seriously something wrong with your F3 then I also have poco f3 it only reaches 35 degrees when I play a heavy game known as callofdutymobile for hours at max settings.I used it at very high graphics and max fps and also at medium graphics and ultra fps same result.Which game is that?maybe the game is the issue maybe it is not optimised.
@@user-pb7tz5sx6o When I play codm at high brightness and on max fps(60hz) it loses 14% per hour and with ultra fps(90hz) 18% per hour for youtube 6% per hour instagram from 6-7% per hour depends for casual use like browsing,social media and all it is mostly 6 - 8% per hour.
@@vignesh_1165 I've been using it on battery saver (60hz) because it doubles the life and the phone's battery wouldn't really last but today I'm using it normally (120hz) and it seems to last now magically, it's still at 78%
Charging of Poco F3 was completed in 52 mins 53 secs which is about 4520 mAh capacity, but at this moment you should notice X3 Pro was on 91% battery charged which means it has completed 4,695 mAH which is more than F3.
Like the video :). Anybody not with a Poco f3 the battery is indeed non linear. 100% - 99% lasts a while (the last time I fully charged and as shown in the video 40mims or so) and prior to this anything above around 80% drains a little slower or it did. Had half a percent drain overnight on miui 12.5.8 but now varies on miui 13 and is not as good. Drains a lot more like 10% overnight sometimes not huge but much more. Other nights it's less. Don't understand at all. Generally I was trying to charge to 80% Max but more comfortable between 40 and 75% if at home. Reason being the voltage is high at full charge so I try and avoid the battery stress. 20-80 is more acceptable. The worst thing is if it dies and that's why there is phone shut off protection. However I did get a bit obsessed and after a few settings Tweaks got about 4.5% per hour at home with low brightness. Then charged it up with original lead very slowly (TV USB port) and have not got below around 6.5% per hour since in dark mode just browsing the Web at 60hz. Accubattery showed a drop of 90 minutes SOT after slow charging that one time with 3% health drop from battery guru. I'm gutted as I wanted to protect the battery not ruin it but fear the low current may have caused mini cycles ie. Not charging faster than the discharge rate, then being topped off a bit like I was trying to avoid at top end near 100% I have been slow (not that slow though) charging as it is supposed to be better for the battery producing less heat as with a case it was reaching 42 degrees with 33w fast charger. I probably shouldn't have bothered worrying but love the phone so wanted to keep it for years. Miui 13 is not optimised for battery life as I have messaged Xiaomi. Stay on 12.5.8. Call quality isn't the best though but acceptable. Loud speaker is decent and I have had the proximity issue sometimes when in call but read it may be my phone case but don't know how (Nilkin Camshield is an excellent fit) Why do no reviews mention the call quality? Tbh I don't think the screen is much better than ips lcd except the obvious battery savings I've been worrying about burn in instead. Screen protector was a must for me and saved me once already. Paid £200 for Arctic white 256/8 but may as well get the 128/6 as not more than 50% ram is used before tasks are killed. Overall a big upgrade bar call quality and vibration/notification issues sometimes. I think I'd buy another but 100% would keep it on miui 12.5 until the optimisations. Probably wouldn't mess with as many settings. I will say the background process limit and animation scale trick is good but not currently using as its quick enough as it is. Also modem and reception are quick. On a 600mb connection and get up to 540 over WiFi with 3re party router. I think these are important considerations too if one needs that speed
I'm getting 4.5 - 5.5 hours screen on time only (social media + browsing + games) it's quite okay for me. Charging speed from 10% to 100% is 1 hour to be exact.
I have the F3 for about a week now, and the battery drains by itself like crazy. On idle, the phone drops from 95 to 50 during the night. That is absolutely outrageous and i hope they're going to face this issue. It's not about screen or always-on-display, or running background processes. It just says "phone idle" on the battery app. Also the screen is not as great as people say, and isn't comparable to a flagship samsung phone at all (even tho it is a samsung screen)
i have had to replace my trusty Galaxy Note 8 as its getting on a bit and took the plunge on the Poco F3 8/256GB, its reassuring to know it can charge up so fast so well done to Darius on this video. Poco F3 looks like a beast for the money they cost
Until you realize it has overheating issues and its screen starts to dim. I was about to buy this phone but when i saw Frankie Techs video i went for the x3 pro. They released a software fix but its still happening... it just takes longer time before the phone gets too hot, which means is most likely a hardware related
@@ivanda64LPGames when frankie compared x3pro, f3 and k40 pro, two first phones were dimmed. There is one thing that U have to admit. Amoled with 3x more nitts on full brightness.. Bro, no1 playing on this settings so thats the reason of overheating - wich is not a deal. U can find f3 stress test with cod mobile with max set and full brightness.

@@tiagorodrigues2793 pois é brother, o dólar baixou e o negócio tá show. Fico puto pois em pouquíssimo tempo o meu que custou 2.075 agora tá na faixa de 1.600 . Mas fico feliz por aqueles que forem comprar. Até agora o único arrependimento foi não ter comprado o branco pois pelo que vejo é meio fosco e não deixa marcas atrás. O preto é lindo demais, porém, deixa marcas com facilidade. Celular top, top. Nesse preço atual então nem se fala. Poço f3 até agora foi a melhor aquisição que fiz em celular.
Embora a bateria do F3 ser um pouco menor, o consumo de energia é baixo devido à memória RAM ser mais rápida e mais econômica e a tela Amoled economizar tbm. Outra coisa é o super aquecimento, que diminui a utilidade e eficiência da bateria.
can you kindly suggest ur "settings" and software version of the F3...? i got it 2 day's ago and was absolutely devastated by the awful battery life.. someone suggested turning off 5G which helped greatly but still no near 6 Hours of usage 🥺
It kind of depends really how long the battery lasts with or without an OLED. Obviously for those that use dark mode you can save some battery, however if you are doing anything else the battery is probably comparable
Did you end up getting the F3? What's the battery life like in real world usage? Some people are saying they get battery drain and have to charge it during the afternoon, but videos like this would suggest otherwise. Are you getting a full day's use out of it? Thanks.
Please another test with less power consumption apps. Like reading an eBook or using RUclips. More old users scenario. I am 54. Best wishes from Barcelona. Keep it up. Bless you
A expected result nonetheless.. 600mah bigger battery is useless if poco f3 has a better chipset and amoled screen. Sd 870 is like 10% better overall performer than 860.
Good job with this video! Now I see the screen and battery differences. Definitely f3 is the choice for me, too bad there's still no video out, this should be the only downgrade
@@plickiper lol its not a feature its a safety mechanism they implemented because they knew the cooling is weak, has nothing to do with burn in. There are phones with amoled 120hz playing genshin on max settings full brightness (which is even more than the f3 can do) and they never dim.
i have a question, does this translate to screen on time? so does the poco have 9 hours screen on time? some reviewers said the battery is mediocre while some others were praising it, I'm confused.
@@DariusKracht Good to hear, but during these tasks the chips had time to breathe. I suspect if you would play an intensive game for a longer period of time the screen would start to dim just like in Frankies video. Event the patch that was trying to fix this did not fix it... it just takes longer time before it starts to dim :(
@@DariusKracht then you are blind because it did get the brightness down you just speed it up if you put the video on slow instead of normal then you can see the dimming happening at 3:59 when you use zoom. Just pause at 3:59
sir? have you tried inserting it with a sim card and do a standby test? I just want to know the drain when there is a mobile service signal. thank you in advance sir.
I wanna buy one of this since it come. No 3,5 jack is a pain but better proc, and that AMOLED - its a mysterious. I know Display is great but what is all about this dimming issue? It prevents to burn screen but, 1300 nitts on max brightness? Is that the problem or something else?
I'm also thinking of buying one but was confused with dimming issue but I think it only happens in gaming it didn't happened in this hours long of batter test it can be fixed by update I believe

Having battery saver on will make a battery last longer,a black wallpaper also extends battery life even with a LCD DISPLAY Smartphone Also having brightness turned down will also save battery life
Darius I wanna ask you I been watching battery drain test and you're the only one that had the f3 run over 6 hours I just want to know was the phone running on 60hz or 120hz ?
Battery difference is may be cuz F3 is 6nm and X3 is 8nm. My X3 last for hours in intense games like war robots. And while using RUclips you don't even notice loosing battery. F3 supports 67 watts charging I think.
I want a phone under 35K.. With specs as follows : Amoled screen More than 1 5G bands Good processor (better than 750 G) Good/decent Camera 90 HZ Or better refresh rate Feature rich UI HDR10 + Less Thermal throttle (ie dont want mediatek chipset) ..

@@werwurwe if you use camera a lot and expected a good picture, you can choose the redmi ( it is not as heavy as x3 pro and has a slightly thinner design) so it is a good choice for daily use. If you play games a lot (especially with high graphics) x3 pro is better, but is a lot heavier. If you want a better performance and a more modern design (x3 pro is bulkier) and if you have the budget ,you should go for the f3
Samsung E4 AMOLED is the latest generation AMOLED display from Samsung and is suffer power-effiicient which means less energy consumption and lesser heat generation . The most expensive and most power consuming part of a phone is the display itself.

I will say the background process limit and animation scale trick is good but not currently using as its quick enough as it is.
Also modem and reception are quick. On a 600mb connection and get up to 540 over WiFi with 3re party router. I think these are important considerations too if one needs that speed

@@2ez4h8 😹😹
Also HDR + extreme
I'm getting 4.5 - 5.5 hours screen on time only (social media + browsing + games) it's quite okay for me. Charging speed from 10% to 100% is 1 hour to be exact.
I have the F3 for about a week now, and the battery drains by itself like crazy.
On idle, the phone drops from 95 to 50 during the night.
That is absolutely outrageous and i hope they're going to face this issue.
It's not about screen or always-on-display, or running background processes.
It just says "phone idle" on the battery app.
Also the screen is not as great as people say, and isn't comparable to a flagship samsung phone at all (even tho it is a samsung screen)
Did your issue have been fix?
me too im playing mir4 100% to 50% in 1 1/2 hrs
I have x3 pro non issue
Almost everyone in reviews praise the life of the battery in F3, it is really a beast! A 870 Powerful but energy gentle processor!
i have had to replace my trusty Galaxy Note 8 as its getting on a bit and took the plunge on the Poco F3 8/256GB,
its reassuring to know it can charge up so fast so well done to Darius on this video. Poco F3 looks like a beast for the money they cost
No matter what era the phone is, subway Surfers will always be the choice of game to be tested on xD
I accept that F3 is beast but within the price range of 18-20k no one is there to beat the beast POCO X3 PRO , hell good phone 👍
I just got new F3 black 256gb for 238$ but I was lucky. X3 pro was for the same price.
got mine at 14999php👌😂(8/256 variant) lol and even less if the 6/128 variant. X3 cant be the option on that
@@isorenaarvinjay2622 I got shoes instead the phone XD but I got my money back
That f3 is ridiculous amazing..
Until you realize it has overheating issues and its screen starts to dim. I was about to buy this phone but when i saw Frankie Techs video i went for the x3 pro. They released a software fix but its still happening... it just takes longer time before the phone gets too hot, which means is most likely a hardware related
@@ivanda64LPGames when frankie compared x3pro, f3 and k40 pro, two first phones were dimmed. There is one thing that U have to admit. Amoled with 3x more nitts on full brightness.. Bro, no1 playing on this settings so thats the reason of overheating - wich is not a deal. U can find f3 stress test with cod mobile with max set and full brightness.

Embora a bateria do F3 ser um pouco menor, o consumo de energia é baixo devido à memória RAM ser mais rápida e mais econômica e a tela Amoled economizar tbm. Outra coisa é o super aquecimento, que diminui a utilidade e eficiência da bateria.
can you kindly suggest ur "settings" and software version of the F3...?
i got it 2 day's ago and was absolutely devastated by the awful battery life..
someone suggested turning off 5G which helped greatly but still no near 6 Hours of usage 🥺
super battery drain fast
No i fajnie, nie zawsze duża bateria to dłuższy czas działania. :-)
A poza tym bardzo ładny, zrozumiały angielski.
It kind of depends really how long the battery lasts with or without an OLED. Obviously for those that use dark mode you can save some battery, however if you are doing anything else the battery is probably comparable
This just soldifies my choice of going with the F3. I thought for sure it won't have a really good battery life but it does and I'm happy with that.
Did you end up getting the F3?
What's the battery life like in real world usage?
Some people are saying they get battery drain and have to charge it during the afternoon, but videos like this would suggest otherwise.
Are you getting a full day's use out of it?
Thanks.
underrated channel.keep it up bro.
Please another test with less power consumption apps. Like reading an eBook or using RUclips. More old users scenario. I am 54. Best wishes from Barcelona. Keep it up. Bless you
They will stay for 1to 1.5-2H more .
Was expecting the slightly less powerfull with bigger battery to win but it seems the F3 does GREAT with its 4520mAh battery, nice.
The problem is luminosity not the same
Ok Poco F3. Take my money!
Exactly the same results came out for me when comparing the X3 Pro with the F3 at home.
I highly recommend Poco F3 5G.
my x3 pro full charge took 1 hour 40 minutes WTF?

A expected result nonetheless.. 600mah bigger battery is useless if poco f3 has a better chipset and amoled screen. Sd 870 is like 10% better overall performer than 860.
Good job with this video! Now I see the screen and battery differences. Definitely f3 is the choice for me, too bad there's still no video out, this should be the only downgrade
did u see any screen dimming on the f3? a lot of ppl gaming have this issue
not an issue it's a feature for AMOLED to avoid amoled burn
@@plickiper If anothers devices dont have this every time, its a issue Bro. Its a bad thing, i just see tat só often on f3 and iPhone 12
@@HeadBearRS you only get dimmings when you play heavy games with full brightness it's where the mechanism kicks in where it dims so it cools down
@@plickiper lol its not a feature its a safety mechanism they implemented because they knew the cooling is weak, has nothing to do with burn in. There are phones with amoled 120hz playing genshin on max settings full brightness (which is even more than the f3 can do) and they never dim.
@@ivanda64LPGames bruh can you even read
i have a question, does this translate to screen on time? so does the poco have 9 hours screen on time? some reviewers said the battery is mediocre while some others were praising it, I'm confused.
Was nice to see you!
The Poco F3 is a beast. Sadly it has no headphones jack and no IP class for water and dust.
During the whole test did the poco f3 brightness reduce automatically due to heating?
No it didn’t. I checked occasionally
@@DariusKracht that's reassuring bro.. thanks
@@DariusKracht Good to hear, but during these tasks the chips had time to breathe. I suspect if you would play an intensive game for a longer period of time the screen would start to dim just like in Frankies video. Event the patch that was trying to fix this did not fix it... it just takes longer time before it starts to dim :(
@@DariusKracht then
you are blind because it did get the brightness down you just speed it up if you put the video on slow instead of normal then you can see the dimming happening at 3:59 when you use zoom. Just pause at 3:59
@@DariusKracht If you use it medium only( youtube,browser,music,mobile data) any trouble getting a full day of use?
sir? have you tried inserting it with a sim card and do a standby test? I just want to know the drain when there is a mobile service signal. thank you in advance sir.
Oh. Yeah that would be amazing. With SIM card inserted.
I wanna buy one of this since it come. No 3,5 jack is a pain but better proc, and that AMOLED - its a mysterious. I know Display is great but what is all about this dimming issue? It prevents to burn screen but, 1300 nitts on max brightness? Is that the problem or something else?
I'm also thinking of buying one but was confused with dimming issue but I think it only happens in gaming it didn't happened in this hours long of batter test it can be fixed by update I believe

Having battery saver on will make a battery last longer,a black wallpaper also extends battery life even with a LCD DISPLAY Smartphone
Also having brightness turned down will also save battery life
why a black wallpaper?
As far as I know, the black background does not affect the autonomy on the LCD screen. 😊
which version of miui did you compared this with? i think that's crucial cuz they say when updating battery life decreases
Is this battery saver off, 120hz and full brightness?
Darius I wanna ask you I been watching battery drain test and you're the only one that had the f3 run over 6 hours I just want to know was the phone running on 60hz or 120hz ?

Nice you are the first one with standy drawing in the test! its really important thanks
did you find any issue using Poco F3 daily? like overheat, screen dimming, or any issue
I have from yesterday and I’m really impressed with the battery of the poco f3
Hi, what else can sy about it? Your first impressions, anything ^^
how much screen on time you are getTing ?
I'm wondering too how many hours screen on for social media or browsing
The perfect video I've been searching, thanks a lot
Very helpful video but must agree that the thumbnail looks like clickbait that people try to avoid. Using a real photo is much better.
Battery difference is may be cuz F3 is 6nm and X3 is 8nm. My X3 last for hours in intense games like war robots. And while using RUclips you don't even notice loosing battery. F3 supports 67 watts charging I think.
I want a phone under 35K.. With specs as follows :
Amoled screen
More than 1 5G bands
Good processor (better than 750 G)
Good/decent Camera
90 HZ Or better refresh rate
Feature rich UI
HDR10 +
Less Thermal throttle (ie dont want mediatek chipset)
..
And brother right now.. None of the phones... Literally not even a single phone under 35k is offering this....
But, POCO F3 has it all ❤❤🥺🥺❤❤ that's why I am waiting.... Not because of the hype..
Bhai you can buy mi 10t under 30000. It is a complete package. I know it is having a lcd display but the quality of the display is excellent so you can buy it.
The phone x3 pro and f3 is late dying battery but I'm asking how much your battery phone that you use to record time?
hello! Can you do a redmi note 10 and Poco X3 pro comparison? Trying to decide which one to buy because F3 is out of my budget.
Bro straightly go with poco x3 Pro you will Snapdragon 860 processor
And in redmi note 10 Pro max you will Snapdragon 732g 😉
So go with poco

@@Sparkyvenkat999 but do you think its worth it? What do you think will be the best option for less than 400$ phones?
@@werwurwe if you use camera a lot and expected a good picture, you can choose the redmi ( it is not as heavy as x3 pro and has a slightly thinner design) so it is a good choice for daily use. If you play games a lot (especially with high graphics) x3 pro is better, but is a lot heavier. If you want a better performance and a more modern design (x3 pro is bulkier) and if you have the budget ,you should go for the f3
I have both phones and the X3 Pro has better battery but they both are beasts.
Does poco x3 pro drain much than poco f3?
Samsung E4 AMOLED is the latest generation AMOLED display from Samsung and is suffer power-effiicient which means less energy consumption and lesser heat generation . The most expensive and most power consuming part of a phone is the display itself.
The idea of standby test was excellent

Hello, I feel that after updating the Poco F3 phone from Android 11 to Android 12, the battery consumption has increased, even while using the phone. Please a video of poco off 3 ba Miui 12 with the version miui 13 In terms of battery consumption, test and check to see which version miui It consumes more battery.
Wow surprising results
Does f3 more efficiency due to nm of processor or any other factor???
Mostly the more efficient AMOLED and I believe Snapdragon 870 is also more efficient than 860.
Im expecting an update for Poco X3 Pro, fixing the battery life. The fact that my Redmi Note 7 after 2 years of usage has similar battery life with this brand new phone is really annoying.
How about in terms in gaming? Which one more optimize? I mean which one more much higher heat while playing high games?🤔
Ofcourse f3 bt i would suggest blackshark 4 bcz almost same prize bt Joy Ui is a gaming rom so more optimized for gaming if it launch globally
will poco x3 pro battery have any issues (poco x3 indian variant has battery drain issues) ,if not i will buy this one
