Got mine last October it's an excellent phone. Coming from the F1 I totally forgot the flagships there's no need to spend much when flagship killers like Poco exists
@@majdalkhateeb8840 not really , but if you're gaming in over 60 hz then it's gna kind of drain your battery but you do get good performance , I'm not saying that the battery is bad tho
I bought mine last November directly from Xiaomi France . Less than 300€ for the 6GB/128GB black back version. I've have often a decent camera in my backpack so taking photos with my phone is not my primary concern . But with the less assisted mode or with Gcam, the result is not so bad . It's crazy smooth, very reactive and the display with few colorimetry adjustments is beautiful and accurate . Battery life is really good for my use and the 33W charge is very useful as i can plug my phone for a few minutes to recover a good amount of electrons juice in the battery . The silicon case provided in the package is good as is the screen protector film too. I like the fingerprint on the power button . It's very accurate and reactive. With the phone in the right or left hand, the finger find it easilly . It's the best place for a fingerprint scanner Imo. For me, it's the best bang for bucks, I've no regret to bought it .
Tysm for actually sharing this here, I'm looking for these kinds of comments because I'm thinking of buying it. I wanted to ask how's the camera compared to older iphones, if you've seen any response of them, like the XS or 8. and hoe much would you rate the camera over all. What stuff do you think that shoulda been there but aren't. Sorry for asking so much but yea
I have been using my Poco F3 for a month now, it's performing good, quick and snappy, good battery life and charging time, great display, not much to complain, well at least for me, especially I got it for only like $246. Overall, it's a good phone for its price. Excited for MIUI 13 and Android 12 to come.
I've been using my Poco F3 from August till now. It is a very beautiful phone and it is good for everything gaming, music and even photography in good lighting places
The cameras are... serviceable to say the least and the software has been buggy and troublesome at times. Aside from that, the F3 excels at its price range. Bought and used mine since launch.
compared to a phone like samsung s21 ultra and similar this phone is insane, samsung gets overpriced sometimes for the useless features and the name, they are made for both 14 yr old kid and 40 yr old mom while xiaomi doesn't invest that much in thingsl ike this and software and features
Different company, different priorities. Samsung is a marketing juggernaut while Xiaomi prices their products very aggresively just to compete with the more mainstream brands because marketing them themselves would just jack up their prices. Just my two cents.
that's fair yea, tbh probably the brands you heard the most before are the worst choice, rn I'm looking for the most bang-for-the-buck and I've found the poco f3 and xiaomi 11t the best and reliable choice, just gotta choose one of em
SD 870 in my opinion is the best ever of SD. Snappy, without issues like overheating. SD 888 and 8gen1 are better only in synthetic tests. Reality is different
Hey Linus been following you for many years. As always like your content, I have the Poco X3 since early last year. Do you think I should have a look at the F3/or you'd recommend something else? PS. Keep up the good work 🙂
Hey man! Thanks for the long-term support! Poco X3 is still a great phone (keep using it if it still works great) but I would pick the F3 for the better display alone: Amoled, 1300 nits of brightness. Also, the chipset is a little bit faster. Overall, I still recommend the F3 as one of the best phones for the price!
I bought it. it tends to run hot, and hot while charging when I at my average 27 degrees Celsius ambient temp. If you are a heavy user you'd likely have to charge it. ( I don't really use 120Hz since i need it to last longer). On a normal day. Charging speeds are excellent. The android screen recorder in the drop down options crashes the phone but they have a screen recorder app that works well. It does stick here and there and sometimes the screen goes black and takes about 220-40s to resolve. Otherwise not a terrible experience and i havent come close to maxing out ram usage and if you are in AC or in front a fan the phone works perfectly.
What is surprising with this smartphone is the quality of the videos in 4k30 and especially the stabilization. And with a good Gcam the photo is really very good especially at night. It's really a very good deal especially since it is regularly found around $250, it is surely one of the best smartphones ever designed by Xiaomi. But I recommend the 8 gigabytes of ram model which certainly costs $30 to $50 more but provides more fluidity and a lot more memory, 256G.
Hi... not able to get better pics with gcam over the default camera app. could you suggest a good gcam mod for Poco f3. And if possible tell us where we can download it. Thanks in advance.
If i could get an answer, it would be great. F3, 11t(i think is the best of this three) or realme neo 2, all at the same price, which to get?!🤔🙂 Thank you!
@@satoshiuchiha931 seems like the vanilla F4 will also have SD 870 this year. The xiaomi 12x has 870 and there's a rumor that the redmi k50 will also have an 870.

Poco F1 user here from Jan 2019. Debating on upgrading up the F3. Haven't had any issues with the F1, got stuck in a boot loop once likely due to having very limited space and running multiple things at once, but phone is still going strong. Just notice the battery life has suffered and tends to drop quick, like 10% from full in half hour. Any input is appreciated!
I bought mine last November 15 2021 and passed through two Android version updates... And still I use this cellphone... Hence, I dont even regret to choose this "beast Flagship Killer", it really do.... Thank you Sir....
An Absolutely Splendid Phone...I Wish The Display Size & Battery Size Was Mentioned...Guess I Shall Have To Look It Up...Which Defeats The Purpose Of Watching This Review...
Hey! This is a long term review. Device was released a while ago and I didn't want to make it too descriptive and read out the specs. I wanted to share my experience and relevance of this phone in 2022. Thanks for watching! :)
I have a question. Does the POCO F3 looks slightly grainy in dark environment with brightness put to 0 on a grey background (like in dark mode of playstore/chrome incognito mode)? Mine looks slightly grainy in the condition described above
I got mine a month ago and so far is one of the best phones I had that didn't instantly cripple my wallet, the game performance is amazing and even for high demanding games like genshing impact on high settings 60fps it takes more than hour before you start to notice is warming up and even more for it to start to slightly throttle but any other game I can spend hours playing on max settings without any heat issues at all
Just bought it brend new last friday it's still better moust of new 2022 models of other brand and it come with two big updates miui13 and android 12 so...
Would someone please tell me why this GSM phone will not work with Tracfone? I did lots of research, bought this phone and paid for expedited delivery since Tracfone was cutting service to my existing phone because it is not voLTE-capable. Before opening the box, I contacted Tracfone with the IMEI number off the Poco F3 box....was shocked when the guy said it would not work on TF.
Hello, I'm Looking for a phone primary for MOBA gaming around 500 USD. Are there better options than the Poco f3, the redmagic 5s or 6 is around my budget but is the performance and temperature coolness too different from the cheaper f3?
i wanted to buy this phone but i've heard some issues like the proximity sensor while calling and the green tint on the screen when you set your screen brightness low enough when youre in the dark, are the issues present on your device?
there is no perfect device. different users, different needs. What makes poco f3 great is the bang for the back it offers. If you have a tight budget, nothing can beat this in a midrange segment. with the powerful sd 870, i hope it got an option (or hopefully in the future device ) to select the display option, from QHD, FHD, or Hd. and this will be perfect device for me. an expandable storage and a headphone jack slot would be sweet, but i can leave if there are none. also a metal frame for an extra costs would be great for longevity of use. but thats just me nitpicking. now for the bright side its battery and power management is the best for a device that uses batt under 5000mah. i play ml, G impact, pubg. with a little bit of youtube in between matches connected thru my home 5g wifi for maybe atleast 4 straight hours, and it just consumes roughly 25 to 40 percent of the power. for a regular user, a full charge one can lasts 2to3 days probably if you manage properly ur device.
Here's how i use my device. Connected all the time thru 5g wifi at my home. Airplane mode, ultra power, dark mode. RUclips, facebook, and mobile legends. Fully satisfied my brother, battery last more than 6hrs of straight gaming with still more than 40percent of battery left. Sound is great even on its speaker with dolby atmos on. If your lucky enough to buy on go for 8/256 variant as it does not have expandable storage, performance wise, 6gb of RAM is more than enough for me. One thing that poco f3 need a little improvement is in the camera, mediocore performance, though i can not confirm nor deny cos i rarely use my camera. i mostly do games. also if u r buying, go for a Global rom for ease of use
@@gamerooo6608 wow amazing bro Really amazing most people complain about lag But all devices lag mostly cause of long gaming hours and over heating especially iPhones But what's your gaming experience till now on pubg
For anyone interested, I bought mine through Xiaomi direct on a flash sale the ends tonight. 8x256gb variant for £249! £90 off on the flash sale then a £10 voucher code on top. Can't wait for it to arrive 🔥
SD card does not always provide good experience. For instance, I used it with my Galaxy S10+ before pandemic when I was traveling in Thailand. It got corrupted, I lost the photos. It has never happened with the internal storage on any phone for me. As for the F3 vs X3 Pro, the key advantage is a much better display: Amoled, 1300 nits of brightness. Also, the chipset is a little bit faster.
@@TechLineHD thanks for the reply & the tips. You are of course right - if the SD card is corrupted than the data is lost. The thing is that I need the extra memory - well I believe that 512GB would be enough but if the phone has "just" 256 or less I need a SD card. Thanks - I'll keep that in mind. Since my phone is still working fine (more or less ^^) I believe I'll wait for the F4 :-)
F3 user here for a month and the dimming issue has already been fixed since the MIUI Global 12.5.5 release (I might be wrong on the exact version update). If the device you bought experiences dimming issues, it's probably because your MIUI version is not up-to-date. Just update your MIUI version to the latest update and you're good to go. Other than that, I have not yet experienced other issues except for the greentint issue.
Hey, I'm trying to replace my Galaxy S10 with a mid-ranger/budget phone. Between the Poco F3, Mi 11 Lite 5G NE and realme GT Neo 2, which one of these could actually replace the S10? Thanks!
i did.this switch 2 months ago.i.was with s10 plus and before that s9 s7 edge note 5 always a samsung lover but after the switch with poco your gone love a lot.of.things battery the chipset fast charging the skin wich is kind of.stock but the things that.you.gone miss from s10.is.that camera and the software because lets face it samsung software is better than miui but the skin of samsung sucks thays why i.did the change but.overwall.yeah a nice pick deffenitly recomend to do the switch with poco if you intereseted more into the camera than realme gt neo.2 would be perfect because has better cameras than f3.
Hey! You need to rule out of the Mi 11 Lite 5G NE because of inferior chip and display. Choose the F3 if you like MIUI. Choose the Realme GT Neo2 if you like their UI and you want a great (similar to F3) device overall. Also, it has better cameras. However, it's more expensive than the F3. Overall, I would pick the F3 because it's usually much cheaper now. Check out my GT Neo2 video: ruclips.net/video/L_m39nxGgTQ/видео.html
I think you should consider A52s ...the most perfect midrange phone in 2021..this phone also much perfect than any midrange,budget smartphone(including poco f3,mi11 lite 5g ne,realme gt neo2 and many more)
it has a flaws like no proximity sensor.. when make a call sometime the screen will turn on and go to anywhere the cheek touches it And the camera are not good But for the performance is still keeping up with the newest phone that using SD 888
I never had issues with the proximity sensor. The main camera is pretty good in good light. As I mentioned in the video, the wide-angle shooter quite bad.
Got mine it worked great but last month AT&T doesnt allow the use of unlocked phones anymore so they forced me to buy a phone with them I got the iphone pro max and the poco still almost as good honestly for a quarter of the iphone 1100 price
the battery life is not even close to what you said... It`s barely one day phone, barely... It makes up to it because of it`s fast charging ability. the rest is accurate and I am enjoying mine a whole lot
@@TechLineHD i terms of performance yes. But overall galaxy offers a little bit more as it guaranteed two additional OS upgrades and four years of security support. A52s has expandable storage and better camera with OIS.
@@DariuszTech If you care about the expandable storage and camera maybe yes. Personally I take the sd870 over that any day. Also 256gb is more then enough.
additional info ive tried different chargers, but it is only when i use the 33w fast itcharger that the device heat up even if i turn off while charging. it is alarming for me because the heat is much higher compares when i am gaming. so i tried other regular, non fast charger and there is no heating at all. i have no idea, but i think the battery will degrade over time more faster if it heats up during charging. what do you guys think? do you also experience heating issues while using fast charger on your f3?
I'm planning to buy Poco F3 this month and saw it on sale for $250. Is it still worth it? Is it still the best value phone even in 2022? Or do you recommend anything better in this price range? Thanks!
I am also using this phone, this phone is awesome but we want more light and smooth UI like Oxygen OS of oneplus... Xiaomi should avoid bloatwares and ads...
Hey! The F3 for sure: it has a better Amoled display, which is much brighter (1300 nits vs 450). That's super important for outdoor use. Further, the F3 uses an Snapdragon chip which is still more reliable and efficient than Mediatek. Lastly, the F3 is a bit cheaper (depending on the region ofc). Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and your support!
i would argue that Xiaomi 11T (non pro) is the better option.. its only slightly more expensive, but it has metal frame, with gg victus.. louder and crisper speakers, faster charger bigger batteries and IMO the camera results looks better for me.. go to a mi store and check both side by side.. I did, I decided to go with 11t plus they promised 3 android updates and 4 years security patch for 11T..
Bought mine, used it for a month and shot it in the cupboard where its been ever since, when people tell you that a camera on a phone is POOR.....Believe them!!
Just I returned this device due to simply option not available (when phone rang it's not showing thru which sim 1 or 2 call came, second thing from recent call log we not able to see number for saved contact (this is important when we want to call if some contact have more than one number)
planning to replace my jurrasic era samsung s6, been window shopping online, then i saw this redmi k40 5g/ poco f3. come feb1, i will get this unless i saw a better alternative
@tyrone It's not a big deal, but can be annoying sometimes when the screen goes dark when on a call, especially when you want to do something else with the phone. All in all is a great phone, just waiting for the MIUI 13 update.

Weird but I put my phone on performance mode and it drains slower. U can try to turn off search for printers, clean cache regularly to boost phone. Turn on dark mode, turn off always on display or switch to 60 Herz (personally I keep it on because I prefer performance. Make sure you're up to date on software updates, personally I do not have battery drain on my model
@@fcjey hello, are you still using Poco F3 now? Do you have any issues with the unit? Which variant (128 or 256 GB) and color did you get? Planning to get this as my secondary phone. I really like the black color but hated how glossy it is.
@@1DERLEI 128, artic white. All problems been fixed through software updates such as the random reboot, dimming, battery drain. I'm on the global version of miui the phone is now better than when I first bought it. Gcam optimisation has improved too. There are many gcams and xmls to use with Poco f3 that are stable. Plus I'm waiting for miui 13 hopefully the software becomes more optimised
Yes, in the real world, 6hr Sot over 24hr is the truth. Most of us do not play YT videos on loop and even my lowest setting for brightness is over 50%, more likely 70% during the day. When you add 5G usage, 6hrs is a push for many phones I have tried. For instance my Pixel 6 Pro on 5G doing nothing (standby) loses 4% per hour, so in 24hrs not using the phone it will empty. Quoting YT streaming on loop is not a good measure and I hope YT addresses this with more sensible daily patterns as it can be misleading.
Q : Is Xiaomi Poco F3 waterproof or water resistant? A : No, there is no waterproofing on Xiaomi Poco F3. Q : Is Xiaomi Poco F3 dustproof or dust resistant? A : No, there is no dust-proofing on Xiaomi Poco F3.

But all devices lag mostly cause of long gaming hours and over heating especially iPhones
But what's your gaming experience till now on pubg
i played mostly mobile legends, but i got yt videos of pubg, watch it my brother
@@gamerooo6608 okay bro
Tysm
Why video at 1080p 60FPS autofocus works often so it shakes the image and spoils the video? That is my big complaint and proximity sensor.
I just bought a used one last week with very good price. And I'm very impressed I even considering moving my daily driver from galaxy note 10+ to this
@tyrone had no issues so far. But I don't use it frequently
@tyrone course not
Is Poco f3 pro coming this year or I buy this f3 ? Pls answer
How does it compare against OnePlus 9R?
For anyone interested, I bought mine through Xiaomi direct on a flash sale the ends tonight. 8x256gb variant for £249! £90 off on the flash sale then a £10 voucher code on top. Can't wait for it to arrive 🔥
I wish there were sales in my country... I haven't ever seen something good go on sale
@@ariamh823 hey, if you can't get direct deals from Xiaomi in your country, then Alibaba is your next best thing for worldwide shipping. Good luck :)
Hi are u planning to sell your poco f3? I want to buy brand new but it quite expensive 😌
Is this phone's refresh rate adaptive?
I still use the F1... a bit bummed that there isn't a SD card slot anymore.
Do you know how the F3 does compared to the X3 Pro (which has an SD slot)?
SD card does not always provide good experience. For instance, I used it with my Galaxy S10+ before pandemic when I was traveling in Thailand. It got corrupted, I lost the photos. It has never happened with the internal storage on any phone for me. As for the F3 vs X3 Pro, the key advantage is a much better display: Amoled, 1300 nits of brightness. Also, the chipset is a little bit faster.
@@TechLineHD thanks for the reply & the tips. You are of course right - if the SD card is corrupted than the data is lost. The thing is that I need the extra memory - well I believe that 512GB would be enough but if the phone has "just" 256 or less I need a SD card.
Thanks - I'll keep that in mind. Since my phone is still working fine (more or less ^^) I believe I'll wait for the F4 :-)
@@Raymaster7482 Yeah you should wait a little to see what Xiaomi/Poco has to show us this year. I hope to review most of their phones :)
@@TechLineHD sweet!
Wow what a cinematography ✨✨ luv your way of presentation man... 👌👌
I'm plannning to buy this phone tommorow can you give some tips before i buy it
Does Google pay work on this?
Hello techline. I've been planning to buy this phone but im still a little bit concerned about the dimming issue. Has it been fixed already?
F3 user here for a month and the dimming issue has already been fixed since the MIUI Global 12.5.5 release (I might be wrong on the exact version update). If the device you bought experiences dimming issues, it's probably because your MIUI version is not up-to-date. Just update your MIUI version to the latest update and you're good to go. Other than that, I have not yet experienced other issues except for the greentint issue.
Is glass on back ?
Hey, I'm trying to replace my Galaxy S10 with a mid-ranger/budget phone.
Between the Poco F3, Mi 11 Lite 5G NE and realme GT Neo 2, which one of these could actually replace the S10? Thanks!
i did.this switch 2 months ago.i.was with s10 plus and before that s9 s7 edge note 5 always a samsung lover but after the switch with poco your gone love a lot.of.things battery the chipset fast charging the skin wich is kind of.stock but the things that.you.gone miss from s10.is.that camera and the software because lets face it samsung software is better than miui but the skin of samsung sucks thays why i.did the change but.overwall.yeah a nice pick deffenitly recomend to do the switch with poco if you intereseted more into the camera than realme gt neo.2 would be perfect because has better cameras than f3.
Hey! You need to rule out of the Mi 11 Lite 5G NE because of inferior chip and display. Choose the F3 if you like MIUI. Choose the Realme GT Neo2 if you like their UI and you want a great (similar to F3) device overall. Also, it has better cameras. However, it's more expensive than the F3. Overall, I would pick the F3 because it's usually much cheaper now. Check out my GT Neo2 video: ruclips.net/video/L_m39nxGgTQ/видео.html
Just switch your battery out.
I think you should consider A52s ...the most perfect midrange phone in 2021..this phone also much perfect than any midrange,budget smartphone(including poco f3,mi11 lite 5g ne,realme gt neo2 and many more)
Samsung a52s 5g
it has a flaws like no proximity sensor.. when make a call sometime the screen will turn on and go to anywhere the cheek touches it
And the camera are not good
But for the performance is still keeping up with the newest phone that using SD 888
I never had issues with the proximity sensor. The main camera is pretty good in good light. As I mentioned in the video, the wide-angle shooter quite bad.
Camera is gud, just use gcam
Just bought one for £183, as my one plus 8 pro screens cracked and it was £180 to replace, hopefully it's a good buy
Where?
Brother how about the battery performance for normal uses?
It's around 6-7 hours (about 70% brightness). SOT times are always subjective. P.S. I don't play games on phones
Got mine it worked great but last month AT&T doesnt allow the use of unlocked phones anymore so they forced me to buy a phone with them I got the iphone pro max and the poco still almost as good honestly for a quarter of the iphone 1100 price
I'm looking for a new phone. Poco f3, MI 11 lite or sth else on that price. Pls help
the battery life is not even close to what you said... It`s barely one day phone, barely... It makes up to it because of it`s fast charging ability.
the rest is accurate and I am enjoying mine a whole lot
still an awesome mid ranger with great performance and display!
Thanks for the Feedback, Vishal!
the frame is metallic,I received the confirmation by the custmoer care POCO :)
I thought Poco f3 was the best mid range device until galaxy A52S dropped their prices.
Haha f3 👑
I would take the SD 870 over SD 778G any day, so my pick is F3
@@TechLineHD i terms of performance yes. But overall galaxy offers a little bit more as it guaranteed two additional OS upgrades and four years of security support. A52s has expandable storage and better camera with OIS.
@@DariuszTech If you care about the expandable storage and camera maybe yes. Personally I take the sd870 over that any day. Also 256gb is more then enough.
@@svenvanderzwaag1012 actually there are alot aspects that A52s is much better than poco f3...so yes .A52s is better overall..
additional info
ive tried different chargers, but it is only when i use the 33w fast itcharger that the device heat up even if i turn off while charging. it is alarming for me because the heat is much higher compares when i am gaming.
so i tried other regular, non fast charger and there is no heating at all. i have no idea, but i think the battery will degrade over time more faster if it heats up during charging.
what do you guys think? do you also experience heating issues while using fast charger on your f3?
i want to this phone so bad but i fi9nd it hard to switch from samsung with the cloud and samsung pass.
Nice budget phone,great review as always.👍
Thanks! 👍
when it will be updated to MIUI 13
I'm planning to buy Poco F3 this month and saw it on sale for $250.
Is it still worth it? Is it still the best value phone even in 2022? Or do you recommend anything better in this price range?
Thanks!
i don't have poco f3 but i heard that it has dimming issue it forces you to lower your brightness and that's all the complain i heard about
I have mi10t pro before . Miui is shit deadboot king xiaomi
180$
Awesome review keep it up as always linus bro
thanks as always, Usman!
Using one... The best I've used in a long long time
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I am also using this phone, this phone is awesome but we want more light and smooth UI like Oxygen OS of oneplus...
Xiaomi should avoid bloatwares and ads...
Which one do you prefer for me? Poco X3 GT or Poco F3 for all rounder? Thank you Linus God bless you 🙏
Hey! The F3 for sure: it has a better Amoled display, which is much brighter (1300 nits vs 450). That's super important for outdoor use. Further, the F3 uses an Snapdragon chip which is still more reliable and efficient than Mediatek. Lastly, the F3 is a bit cheaper (depending on the region ofc). Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and your support!
@@TechLineHD But in my country, the Poco F3 a bit expensive than Poco X3 GT.
Buying a 2nd one when in sale, this phone is a beast.
Isn't F4 coming out soon?
Been using my poco f3 since oct22, all i can sa is well done Xiaomi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Poco f3 is the beast really worth of money I had enjoyed games music battery everything good I am using 2022 still beast than other phones.
Hello can i request for a comparison video of poco f3 and realme gt neo 2 please
Techline is a lineman for the county. And he drives the main road.
Is it still worth it or should i go to F4?
F3 is great option if upcoming F4 would be minimal upgrade and if price would be higher. There is no budget chip succesor for snapdragon 870
So is it still worth ?
i would argue that Xiaomi 11T (non pro) is the better option..
its only slightly more expensive, but it has metal frame, with gg victus..
louder and crisper speakers, faster charger bigger batteries and IMO the camera results looks better for me..
go to a mi store and check both side by side.. I did, I decided to go with 11t
plus they promised 3 android updates and 4 years security patch for 11T..
What is the price of poco f3 now please answer? 😞
Check the product link?
@@TechLineHD ok thanks
Bought mine, used it for a month and shot it in the cupboard where its been ever since, when people tell you that a camera on a phone is POOR.....Believe them!!
Watching from my F3 ✊
Just I returned this device due to simply option not available (when phone rang it's not showing thru which sim 1 or 2 call came, second thing from recent call log we not able to see number for saved contact (this is important when we want to call if some contact have more than one number)
planning to replace my jurrasic era samsung s6, been window shopping online, then i saw this redmi k40 5g/ poco f3. come feb1, i will get this unless i saw a better alternative
Watching using my poco f3.. this phone is great 👍👍👍
@tyrone so far i Don't experience such bugs or malfunction
My only issue is the omission of the proximity sensor, especially when making and receiving calls.
It can be really annoying sometimes.
@tyrone It's not a big deal, but can be annoying sometimes when the screen goes dark when on a call, especially when you want to do something else with the phone. All in all is a great phone, just waiting for the MIUI 13 update.
Yes thanks you to TECH LINE ,for explainings and revieweds abouts really high class qualitys technology enginered smarts phone's POCO F3 5 G.Yes Really Superpowerful, really Superior's, good designs, beautiful .Yes really EXPENSIVE VALUES Device 's.Yes Really im respect it.Yes POCO F3 5,Smarts phone's,my favourite dream's target's to im buys it.Yes No Comments to TECH LINE.🤩💯🌹🌟👏👍
I like f3 so much because of amoled display but me choosed x3 pro because of sd card and headphone jack
My poco f3 can last only 5 and a half hours a day if I am on it constantly Can I do something to Extend the battery
Weird but I put my phone on performance mode and it drains slower. U can try to turn off search for printers, clean cache regularly to boost phone. Turn on dark mode, turn off always on display or switch to 60 Herz (personally I keep it on because I prefer performance. Make sure you're up to date on software updates, personally I do not have battery drain on my model
@@fcjey tnx it helps now its much easier
@@marinkobac3186 no problem
@@fcjey hello, are you still using Poco F3 now? Do you have any issues with the unit? Which variant (128 or 256 GB) and color did you get? Planning to get this as my secondary phone. I really like the black color but hated how glossy it is.
@@1DERLEI 128, artic white. All problems been fixed through software updates such as the random reboot, dimming, battery drain. I'm on the global version of miui the phone is now better than when I first bought it. Gcam optimisation has improved too. There are many gcams and xmls to use with Poco f3 that are stable. Plus I'm waiting for miui 13 hopefully the software becomes more optimised
Now its Xiaomi 12 the new Beast !
I want that phone 📱 so bad but unfortunately we don't have Poco f3 in Cambodia 😢😢
great review
Best Phone in 2022. I have it .
Great video presentation
Thank you kindly!
2 day battery on 120hz on 4500mah can't be possible bro..
The max I get is 6hrs.
Battery life is always subjective!
Yes, in the real world, 6hr Sot over 24hr is the truth. Most of us do not play YT videos on loop and even my lowest setting for brightness is over 50%, more likely 70% during the day. When you add 5G usage, 6hrs is a push for many phones I have tried. For instance my Pixel 6 Pro on 5G doing nothing (standby) loses 4% per hour, so in 24hrs not using the phone it will empty. Quoting YT streaming on loop is not a good measure and I hope YT addresses this with more sensible daily patterns as it can be misleading.
Same here. 5 or 6 hours when gaming and social media. Longest SOT I got was 9 hours (no gaming, on wifi, social media/browsing only)
I loose 10% every hour of SOT doing all kind of stuff. It sure is a 2 day phone for me.
@@TechLineHD still, practically as well 2 days ain't possible untill u are super light user
Well said 🙏
I will wait poco f4 It's the winning deal
It will probably disappoint look what they did with the note 11 series
Could this be a Lithuanian beach in those sample photos?
Q : Is Xiaomi Poco F3 waterproof or water resistant?
A : No, there is no waterproofing on Xiaomi Poco F3.

Until 2024 it still rock
Poco f3 vs s20 fe
screen colors are exaggerated and not realistic as Samsung's 😏
(F3 user)
still poco f3 best value for money!! No one can beat!
If only it had a headphone jack and SD card support. Such a shame.
I want poco f4 , i have poco f3 already its a beast ! Super phone!
Me to with dimensity 900
I bought it six months ago
MIUI on Poco now was so bad 😞
