Update: Since we've published this video, there have been a few updates on Poco's website about specific F3 features. We've added these as Corrections under this video's Cards UI so make sure you check them out. You can always see the up-to-date specs over here: www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_f3-10758.php
If you have really personally reviewed the device, you would know before hand its corrections specially the plastic frame compared to aluminum which is easy to notice. It looks like you only use a script to generate your reviews.
That ornamental snail you use at the side of the buildings to colour test the cameras on phones, is probably the most photographed and colourful ornamental snail in the world.
Flash the gcam and you will get high quality photos. I have p40 pro and f3 and they shoot almost the same quality with gcam. When I zoom p40 is beast 😁
I've landed on this from a 12 pro max. And i can say, the camera is alright more or less. Everything else is such a step step up hat I certainly haven't been disgusted by the cameras on this just yet. One would assume that to be the case coming from an iphone in general, but I don't feel the pinch. I kinda feel it with the video though.
@@nikkeipvck8529 Yeah no. Oddly enough i actually prefer the oddball utilities weaved within the MIUI. Its not clean or refined, but I've sorta become used to having them try random things.
Just got my Poco F3 and it's a wonderful device! This is the first phone I've used with a high refresh rate display and the difference is night and day. It ruins your experience with 60hz screens. I have the white version and the back texture and color is really nice. It has kind of a matte, pearl-y kind of look that feels like some kind of frosted glass. Fingerprints are much less noticeable than my last phone with a shiny glass back. I'd definitely recommend going with the white version, especially as the blue looks butt ugly but I've only seen it online. It might look better in person.
I honestly would've preferred for the phone to be few millimetres thicker for a larger battery. It outlasts x3 pro with 4500 mAh and imagine if it had about 5000 mAh. The difference would've been even greater.
Suggestion: please include brightness dimming technology (PWM or DC Dimming) on device display specs in future phones you review since it's rather important information that manufacturers usually don't give us. Thanks.
I have my poco F3 for 5 months now an i gotta say that xiaomi can make wonderful phones with such a nice price. The battery its still perfekt, screen outstanding beautiful and the camera its not the best but its good enough to compare it to a iphone 11.
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.
I feel bad for you, since I've experienced deadboot judt recently. My redmi note 8 got deadboot, it lasted 1yr and 10 mnths, well that phone is just a budget phone but snapdragon 665 still can play some 3d games like codm

So many people complain about phones being "boring" or "generic" in 2021. Me? I'd take being able to buy amazing quality flagship killing phones that can be bought for 300 USD rather than the 2010 or 2015 experience of paying 600 USD for a phone just because it has an "innovation," a dumb phone with a translucent keypad or a mediocre smartphone with some modular bs.

Its best for gamers. I can count the times i used my phone camera in a year LOL. Display,cpu,battery are the best. And for that price? Its a no brainer.
It seems that Poco is trying to create its own niche by tapping a portion of flagship and mid-range specially those in the gaming side of things. I actually bought this during Introductory price and I am satisfied since I'm not really into camera and all.

If the processor is so important to you why buy Poco F3 and not carry a Ryzen desktop with you everywhere you go? Also im sure your snapdragon 870 will be a lot slower than snapdragon 720G when it dies from liquid damage. Your only argument is insulting other people, you must feel very smart.
No earphones hole to listen music is that true ?? 🤦🏼♀️😭😭😭 I want the one can have it . Mine using Bluetooth earphones will drop somewhere else n it's inconvenient for me lost them easily. What can I do ?
While it doesn't have a headphone jack, it comes with an adapter, so you can listen to music, you just can't listen while having it charge as it doesn't have a separate hole
Snapdragon 860 vs 870 for f3 Nit is much higher than x3 pro which hasn't an amoled screen. F3 will be the phone I will buy for retro gaming, I e. Ps2 games. Thanks for nice review Roland
This was after the update. Before the update the cameras were a terrible disaster, now somewhat better night shots, but still not upto the price mark, at this price you get far better cameras , the midrange segment is extremely competitive, but as a n overall package, the Poco F3 still does outshine in every other aspect.
I'm really tempted to buy this because I don't think flagships are worth the money. I think I'll be much more fulfilled with a mid-level handset. I have owned the Galaxy S21 ultra and Galaxy Fold 2 (probably two of the most expensive phones in the world) and after about a month, the excitement fades and they become pretty boring. And you're stuck with a £1200 device you're terrified of breaking! When you own a flagship, all you're thinking about is selling it
There have been updates after the issue was notices, and the issue still persist.. looks like a hardware mechanism that can't be fixed with an update. Do not buy with hopes for an update
Watching with my Poco F3, got mine on sale. If you're looking for speed, future proofing and decent camera. Look no further, this phone is already a bargain for what it offers.
Screenshot scroll doesn't work, freezes during phone calls, messenger calls, & viber calls, needs restart 1-2x a day to get back some functions. Can close screen while watching RUclips, can play games flawlessly, decent pics and videos.
Hi sir yes smarts phone's POCO F3 5 g yes very high class qualitys, powerful, good design, good performance.good enginered , excellent.yes im respect it and likes to bye it.best phone's.🌹🌟💯👍
I have a few questions: Does it really have a metal frame? Is the refresh rate really adaptive? I've watched some RUclipsrs saying that it only supports either constant 120hz or 60hz.
No problem if NFC not available in Poco f3. But everything is perfect. That's why I like EIS camera system both. Front and back camera. Also performance. 5 reviews stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sadly, Poco F3 is side power button fingerprint scanner. Not like Poco F2 Pro, it use in-display fingerprint scanner which is futuristic. I'll waiting they make Poco F4, on next year.
Hope everybody is having a good day! I'm a bit ill but anyways I need suggestions for choosing between f3 and galaxy a52. Highly appreciated in advance ❤️❤️❤️
I agree! But personally I like samsungs ui more and need a good camera. Just worried if it's chip sd 720g can give good performance for 2-3 years. What do u guys think and rate the f3s camera?
Also I barely play any games and am most interested in ultra wide shots and plus Samsung gives premium features too.. like knox security ip67 4 years of update
My previous phone was the s8 (around 1000 nits) and I get around the same visibility in direct sunlight. You won't have any problems but yeah I don't think poco's screen can reach 1300 nits.
@@atsixes9915 The problem is that is very diffuse these nits claims.. take the Ipad Pro 2021 M1... they are claiming 1600nits peak... while in test on notebookcheck the old 2020 Ipad Pro 12.9 are actually a tad brighter, though not sure if they actually elevatef the sunpeak orr just use the slider...I tried to check the nits claik on my Tabs5.. with its AMOLED 1600p it is a tad over 500nits with slider, but if I peak the lightsensor it reaches just under 750nits .. videos below on this slide imgur.com/a/6N0tG4F
great phone , mid range phone are the new flagship now , just simply get rid the useless gimmick like dedicated macro,BW or depth cam, put a useful feature on it, and with affordable price point that's will be perfect.
An advice to POCO. If you truly want to become a flagship-killer brand. Never drop the 3.5mm jacks. Nobody likes those pesky dongles and the trouble of charging bluetooth earphones. This could’ve been the perfect midrange phone but no headphone jack = no buy. Down with these companies creating problems to sell solutions.

It seems that Poco is trying to create its own niche by tapping a portion of flagship and mid-range specially those in the gaming side of things. I actually bought this during Introductory price and I am satisfied since I'm not really into camera and all.
I prefer Galaxy A52 It has better main camera with OIS, better ultrawide camera, better software, no ads, 4 years of updates, headphone jack, SD card slot, ip67 rating
Main specification is performance design and screen this phone is better in all aspects than shitty samsoongg 💩
@@sufyankhan5353 What does "Main specification" even mean? If you are a 12 year old kid that only plays video games on the phone, then sure, buy poco F3. But for every serious adult, A52 is a better all around phone.
@@panosnord9978 what all rounder ? Poco has 33 watts charging a great processor 5g connectivity everything is top notch but. Shitty a52 is made of fkin plastic outdated processor outdated design only camera is good otherwise a52 is a piece of shit 💩
@@sufyankhan5353 You didn't read my comment, can you even read? A52 It has better main camera with OIS, better ultrawide camera, better software, no ads, 4 years of updates, headphone jack, SD card slot, ip67 rating. If the processor is so important to you why buy Poco F3 and not carry a Ryzen desktop with you everywhere you go? Also im sure your snapdragon 870 will be a lot slower than snapdragon 720G when it dies from liquid damage. Your only argument is insulting other people, you must feel very smart.
Ignore these fanboys lol.
The A52 is better in every way and unless you game, the 720G is more than enough.
Can't wait til I can get my hands on this in the US.
No earphones hole to listen music is that true ?? 🤦🏼♀️😭😭😭 I want the one can have it . Mine using Bluetooth earphones will drop somewhere else n it's inconvenient for me lost them easily. What can I do ?
While it doesn't have a headphone jack, it comes with an adapter, so you can listen to music, you just can't listen while having it charge as it doesn't have a separate hole
Use Bluetooth earpods, they're cheap now.
Snapdragon 860 vs 870 for f3
Nit is much higher than x3 pro which hasn't an amoled screen.
F3 will be the phone I will buy for retro gaming, I e. Ps2 games.
Thanks for nice review
Roland
S20 Fe 5g is better
It does have NFC! It least the one I'm holding right now has
You can see the NFC icon at 3:38 in the lower right corner. Not sure why they said it didn't.
dude i likes ur voice.
Got it a day ago seems like a great phone. It has nfc.
Got my poco F3 and it has NFC 😳

You really look like Cisco from "The Flash" tv series
Yes 100%

Is that considered racist? Not kidding. I really need to know.
I'm from India and suggest me which phone should I buy.
Budget 23k (India Rupee).
And finally love from India.
how are the navigation gestures? do they work like apple or huawei's gestures? pls reply
Great review, but It does have IP53 water resistant.
I heard f3 got camera software update, is this review done before or after that?
This was after the update. Before the update the cameras were a terrible disaster, now somewhat better night shots, but still not upto the price mark, at this price you get far better cameras , the midrange segment is extremely competitive, but as a n overall package, the Poco F3 still does outshine in every other aspect.
@1:48 Good to see that he's happy watching polar bears and seals
i dont really care about camera, and neither did poco when making this
just bought it, camera is good enough for me
performance is huge
Download gcam and this is a win. Great phone, just wish it had expandable storage really
Same I need that storage
though it isn't as convenient as an sd card, otg usbs are quite useful
@@stoppls1709 teach me the magic of otg usb (I have no idea what that is)
@@khizqialyasa they are usbs but with a type-c connector so u can use it for portable storage
brother can you please send me the link for gcam of poco f3
I started working at sub way just to collect money for this phone
I'm really tempted to buy this because I don't think flagships are worth the money. I think I'll be much more fulfilled with a mid-level handset. I have owned the Galaxy S21 ultra and Galaxy Fold 2 (probably two of the most expensive phones in the world) and after about a month, the excitement fades and they become pretty boring. And you're stuck with a £1200 device you're terrified of breaking! When you own a flagship, all you're thinking about is selling it
I have the poco F2 pro and I'm very happy with it. Hopefully the F3 pro will be even better then mine
do you have problem with the brightness when the device become too hot ?
@@obaidaba1834 no
What about the dimming issue when the screen is overheating is it fixed?
following
There have been updates after the issue was notices, and the issue still persist.. looks like a hardware mechanism that can't be fixed with an update.
Do not buy with hopes for an update
Watching with my Poco F3, got mine on sale. If you're looking for speed, future proofing and decent camera. Look no further, this phone is already a bargain for what it offers.
Wht is the price of this phn in India plz tell
Screenshot scroll doesn't work, freezes during phone calls, messenger calls, & viber calls, needs restart 1-2x a day to get back some functions. Can close screen while watching RUclips, can play games flawlessly, decent pics and videos.
Hi sir yes smarts phone's POCO F3 5 g yes very high class qualitys, powerful, good design, good performance.good enginered , excellent.yes im respect it and likes to bye it.best phone's.🌹🌟💯👍
I have a few questions:
Does it really have a metal frame?
Is the refresh rate really adaptive? I've watched some RUclipsrs saying that it only supports either constant 120hz or 60hz.
I use a poco x3 nfc and I can say adaptive refresh rate is most likely coming back with miui 12.5 which Xiaomi phones will receive in Q2 of 2021
Wouldn't variable refresh rate requires hardware support? It's cheaper to put it on LCDs compared to amoled. F3 might just not have it.
It has metal frame, with plastic outer layer that is why you dont see antennas.
I just got the phone. The frame feels heavier than plastic. Probably it is the outer layer that feels plastic.
@@kokomicrunch5179 How good is it now you have had it for a while?
the one i was waiting for but the screen dimming when getting hot is a deal breaker for me.
yeah
They said they will fix it, and I'm pretty sure they will
@@ryanhessami5915 they did?
@@AlejandroMorales-cx2mh yes on poco f3 live stream with argnus I think
No problem if NFC not available in Poco f3. But everything is perfect. That's why I like EIS camera system both. Front and back camera. Also performance. 5 reviews stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sadly, Poco F3 is side power button fingerprint scanner.
Not like Poco F2 Pro, it use in-display fingerprint scanner which is futuristic.
I'll waiting they make Poco F4, on next year.
Display fingerprint scanner is crap, it would never be as responsive as side scanner or back scanner.
I think people are going to notice the extra boost in performance with the F3 as compared to the X3 Pro
Yeah it's like going from a snapdragon 855 plus to a 865 plus. I was going to get an s20 but the F3 is worth it.
You also get amoled and 5g
Hope everybody is having a good day!
I'm a bit ill but anyways I need suggestions for choosing between f3 and galaxy a52. Highly appreciated in advance ❤️❤️❤️
F3 is a beast comparing to A52, beast performance, display😀🔥
It's depends on which ui (software) you like xiaomi or samsung. I prefer you to buy f3 bcz of flagship chip 😯😜🎉
F3 for performance and longevity and a52 for camera
I agree! But personally I like samsungs ui more and need a good camera. Just worried if it's chip sd 720g can give good performance for 2-3 years. What do u guys think and rate the f3s camera?
Also I barely play any games and am most interested in ultra wide shots and plus Samsung gives premium features too.. like knox security ip67 4 years of update
mi 10t vs poco f3 which is overall better....which should i get????
No NFC = no Google Pay = deal breaker.
Also you should talk about haptics. Are they good and strong? Are they used often the OS?
NFC depends on the region, I ordered one in France, and it has NFC
710 nits sun peak you obtained that is pretty far from the claimed 1300nits sun peak..
My previous phone was the s8 (around 1000 nits) and I get around the same visibility in direct sunlight. You won't have any problems but yeah I don't think poco's screen can reach 1300 nits.
@@atsixes9915 The problem is that is very diffuse these nits claims.. take the Ipad Pro 2021 M1... they are claiming 1600nits peak... while in test on notebookcheck the old 2020 Ipad Pro 12.9 are actually a tad brighter, though not sure if they actually elevatef the sunpeak orr just use the slider...I tried to check the nits claik on my Tabs5.. with its AMOLED 1600p it is a tad over 500nits with slider, but if I peak the lightsensor it reaches just under 750nits .. videos below on this slide imgur.com/a/6N0tG4F
U didn't mention anything about the Screen Dimming issue?
@@wheezel55 no isn't related to gaming. Any time the phone heats up, the screen starts to dim down. For example, recording 4k video for some minutes.
great phone , mid range phone are the new flagship now , just simply get rid the useless gimmick like dedicated macro,BW or depth cam, put a useful feature on it, and with affordable price point that's will be perfect.
Hi Will, when are going to air your Pixel 5 Review??? Excited of your Pixel Reviews
Will there be a poco f3 pro plus?
Its rename as MI11i with 108mp and SD888
An advice to POCO. If you truly want to become a flagship-killer brand. Never drop the 3.5mm jacks. Nobody likes those pesky dongles and the trouble of charging bluetooth earphones.
This could’ve been the perfect midrange phone but no headphone jack = no buy. Down with these companies creating problems to sell solutions.
Wait you are from Bulgaria 😲
I need help between this poco f3 and redmi note 10 pro pls. Any recommandations?
poco f3 indeed
No NFC support? I thought it has one.
Varies on Region but F3 has NFC
Is that an aluminium frame? I've heard some reviewers saying its plastic
Yeah
its aluminium yes
damn pretty premium
I couldn't spot any antenna lines in the video, so I suspect it is indeed plastic.
It's plastic that mimics aluminium.
You can tell the difference by touch. If the frame is cool to the touch, it's metal.
I wonder better display has poco f3 or redmi note 10 pro?There is huge difference who's know?
one of my favorite reviews channel since 10 years ago. love from Malaysia
Isn't GSMArea one of the oldest tech blog ?
There Is NFC!

Ya
I was hoping we get the Samsung A52 review.
