POCO F3: After 9 Months! Still WORTH IT in 2022?

Рет қаралды 104,769

Күн бұрын

In this video I will be giving you a long term review about the POCO F3 - about what I like, what I don't like, and also answer some of the complaints and issues that you have written in the comments section during my previous 1-month review of the POCO F3.
And since we are already in the year 2022, the question that I always get asked is - if the POCO F3 is worth it in 2022?

I was using the F3 for 6 months and then gave it to my wife last november 2021. She is using it till now and has no problems at all. She actually likes it. So in short, the poco F3 is still holding up super good Ps, regarding my comment before of the green tinting on grey background, it is still there but you can just don't mind it as it does not cause any screen touch issue.

Thank you Adam for an awesome revisit review of the Poco F3 in February 2022. I purchased the Poco F3 (8/256) in white last year (2021) after your recommendation review. I have been very fortunate in that I also have not experienced any problems since acquiring the Poco F3 in 2021 and would recommend the Poco F3 for purchase in 2022. I do have one issue with the Google Phone dialer software, namely the default Google Phone Dialer is unable to record calls, even though it has the Call Recording facility...it just does not want to Enable. Try as I might including taking guidance from KZfaqrs and others; I just could not get the Google Phone to record calls which it is able to do. My resident country, South Africa has no legal restrictions on device call recordings. In closing....what was amazing and I noticed you also experienced it... battery life on screen improved significantly since first use. I also installed GCam (Nikita) which has improved finished photo quality to another level. The default camera is good, but the GCam takes photos from good to great photo level. Thanks for your candid reviews. 👍👍

Poco F3 or the Xiaomi 11T?

I recently broke mine in a freak accident and planned on getting something newer to replace it but there still didn't seem to be anything that beats it for the price. Xiaomi were selling the 8gb version for £209 on their site so was a no brainer, even if you miss that Amazon almost always have the 8gb for £250 nowadays. Ridiculously cheap for such a good phone.

I have the 8/256 version but I don´t think there is much difference. Both have the same gpu and chipset that are really good.

@Kennerfull 2 жыл бұрын

Oversaturation under sunlight is normal, and it's actually a feature, the device increases contrast so the not so bright areas of the screen become bright and visible, samsung has been doing it since the galaxy s5, i can confirm they do it till the 8 line wich i own. Doing so increases the overall amount of light the screen puts out without increasing maximum pixel brightness. Very usefull feature, but i try to avoid letting the phone run at max brightness to avoid burnin.
