2 жыл бұрынTEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Poco F3 Review! Some long term thoughts on using a banger mid-ranger phone. While it was a beast in 2021, can it still compete a year later? Let's take a look at price and performance!

Got the F3 last October coming from the F1 that I used for 3 years. I really appreciate the value of having a reliable phone with specs that will last me for 3 years even more. Fast and snappy considering the 120 hertz amoled screen and the chip that is stable in gaming and yes it does not throttle like the 888 and Gen 1. Eversince I started using these so called flagship killer I totally forgot about the flagships, just download Gcam and your are all set.

Been using my f3 for one year and because I don't like MiUI that much I immediately rooted it and installed ArrowOS. Now I'm rocking ArrowOS 12 which is the same rom from the pixel 6 and I have never experienced that much smoothness on a phone!!! It's just amazing! And the google camera is giving me some great shots! The amoled screed is till crisp and the speakers loud and clear .This phone is incredible for the price.

Watch the compatibility with T-Mob in the US. I've had miserable luck with two F3's and an X3 as well. Just can't reliably connect so I miss a ton of calls and getting on the web is very sketchy, too. Real disappointed because the device works well in other ways, just not enough bands provided to hook up well with T-Mob. Looking for suggestions if they're out there, if not I'll be picking up a Galaxy S21 FE, sadly.

ah the f3, my favorite phone, the hardware is dope for the price i payed 280 euros for the 8/256 vers, the overall experience is dope as long as u keep in mind the cheap price, so u gotta be able to stomach the sacrifices they've made '' no real proximity sensor and the average camera '' but it got kinda fixed with the updates '' the proximity issue'', but to get the best out of the phone you gotta use some roms, reason why is because the global MIUI is kinda shitty compared to the Chinese Miui, also slamming some aosp roms makes the phone a lot lot better than running miui, as a xiaomi fan '' hardware wise " i really like the phone and been using it as a daily driver for 6 months now, i'am happy with it

I'm currently looking for a new phone and I tend to use my phones for years as well (rip my 6 year old oneplus 3). Considering the phones I look at (stuff like the realme gt2 or similarly priced phones), this phone is still looking good. I'd feel worse about using a phone shorter when I have to pay $500+ than a $250 phone myself. Something in line with using this phone for 3 years and then looking for a new phone, doesn't seem too bad to me.

One thing about poco phones is that Xiaomi allows rom changes easily so it has a good mod community, even the f1 released in 2018 has multiple android 12 custom roms still being done, plus even if you prefer MiUi over custom roms there's a group who does a MiUi custom ROM based on the Chinese version so you'd still get up to date features on "stock" rom.

I have the F3. Also upgraded from my older F1. Some shortcomings though. In dark mode at 120 Hz, in a dark environment, you certainly get green tint on the screen on mine. Dark mode itself sometimes doesn't work on certain apps until you reboot the phone. I had proximity sensor issues with the original software, but the last update resolved it for me. The camera also still struggles a bit, even with Gcam. All in all a great phone and great value for money, but not flawless by any measure.

Used the F3 for 6 months before handing it over to my wife, I loved it and was very satisfied with it. Then I recently bought a brand-new 8T for my personal use and I'm loving it, the OS is basically the reason why I bought the 8T and decided to use it as my daily phone. Before, I thought getting the best and latest is a must but nowadays, smartphones are so boring and powerful that you don't need to get the latest one. the last year's flagship is already capable of performing daily tasks. So it is better to get a last year's flagship or a midrange phone with a flagship processor to save money. so think twice in spending big amount of money for the latest phones and assess if that is something worth it in the long run. Flagship phones tend to depreciate a bit faster than midrange phones. Also, Dave2D said it the same as you said it, benchmark should not be something to base a smartphone but instead a real world usage. Making sure that it could run all the apps and tasks you want to, that enough says it is powerful already.

@@chandlerbing7437 I would recommend the 8T for the OS and camera, you wouldn't believe it but the pictures coming out from the 8T is better than the F3. Then charging speed is just convenient as hell, no need to wait for an hour. Then the build quality is miles apart. All in all, 8T is the way to go. If the 8T is 12/256gb, go for it. But if not, weigh in if the 128gb is enough for you compared to the 256gb of the F3. Hope this helps!

My only problem about this phone is that, currently I'm having trouble with it reading the SIM. There's a bunch of same cases I saw in facebook about this model not detecting the SIM

Commenting from the Poco F3. Still working fine after 1.3years

I got the Poco F3 of the mi UK site for 180 quid,the higher storage model as well it's not an expensive phone even in the UK and it's running Android 12 and miui 13,the Snapdragon 870 is most likely the wiser choice out of all the current high end snapdragons as it may not be as powerful as the current hero's the 888 and gen 1 but it's more stable and doesn't heat up or lose continuous performance trying to chase apple chips in benchmarks,it has stamina and performance and the camera in this Poco the main cam is fine it's not rubbish as some say it's just a fine 12 meg camera,I keep the refresh rate at 60 as I think these fast refresh rates are a poor choice as they hammer battery and performance and the benefit is small in real world use,plus the longer a phone lasts the less electricity we use which reduces our carbon footprint and this phone is good for 8-10 hours screen time with adaptions made like lowering the refresh rate and using WiFi whenever possible and turning off 5g as it's just not needed.

Poco F3 caused me a 2 days worth of buyer's remorse you know. I just purchased 5II then F3 released in half a price. I know build quality if different but 865 ++ for cheap is more than enough reason to question my life choices

@@SomeGadgetGuy Can't be helped.... My lazy friends ask me for recommendations instead of them researching on their own. F3 shares some problems on it's launch but I heared most of it have been dealt with, dimming issues, heating, damaged type c port.

@SomeGadgetGuy, I know that Poco F3 doesn't support display mode over type c (xiaomi uses USB 2.0), but is their a lapdoc that acts like a usb hub + a display? So the phone connects to display via type-c to hdmi and charges. The only working example I came up so far is to connect Poco to usb hub like Wavlink and connect it to a display, but this is too clunky. Another way is to use Uperfect X Pro or NexDoc via type-c to hdmi, but the phone will not charge that way. It would be cool if you could make a video about it. Title it like "How to extend life of yours Poco F3 in 2023."
