Still using my F3 with custom rom now. Will be using it as long as this lasts. I usually take care of my phone, I have always used a case and Protector. Still looks almost new! My phone hasn't slowed down, software is the latest(August 2024). Most of the things like camera and design hasn't changed all that much that this phone would look outdated. To sum up, a good, working phone that is still serving me very well. Respect to the device community for keeping up with the custom ROM.
Hey adam, awesome video and thankyou for revisiting this masterpiece of budget phone. I have to say considering the chipset upgrade I really expected better cameras and 4k 60 recording on the front and back but I guess that shows how good the cameras on the F3 were in general if they still basically draw. One thing that concerns me is the price, as with it being substantially higher than most "budget" phones, can it still really be classified as that? I feel it now falls in the midrange category and when compared with phones in this category I doubt the cameras will hold their own, but the screen and its brightness is a pleasant surprise!
I kno right. feels a lot better in hand, and the fingerprint on the power button is just flawless, never had any issues whatsoever just the battery drain somewhat quickly maybe because its been 3 years now. unfortunately i had a new assignment for my F3, so i had to switch to F6.
My exact upgrade path (even the unit colors too :D ) Poco F3 was awesome, I got it 3 years ago on a steal price - but now its time for the Poco F6 to take the mantle. Thank you Adam and awesome videos!
In terms of the camera quality and some addressed issues with POCO F6 in this video, it safe to say that they haven't get there yet, I'll have to wait for the F7 before i finally forgo my F3 😊
That's ironic. The one thing that I actually use a lot of the F3 is to use the selfie camera for vlog - the one and only test that the F3 was better than the F6 😅 I hope they get that sorted.
finally my Poco F3 5G borke down last week..after checking the tech said it was CPU problem...cannot turn on langsung..made the decision to repair it (estimated price between RM300-RM400) 😥 terpaksa repair bcoz suddenly ja rosak..no symptom whatsoever haha..then after repair likely to transfer all my pictures and work stuff..then maybe finally give it a rest...total usage was from early 2022 i think..up till now.. thinking of upgrading to 14T Pro..ok ke?
My Poco F3 will turn 3 yrs next year April and has no plan of changing it yet since it is still a beast. But if I were to upgrade, this Poco F6 would be my top contender.
I believe not only Poco F3/K40 stood up and retain being the title holder but most 2022 phones are keeping toe to toe if not better on same category released phones within that 3 years time. Even Blackshark 5 Pro is performing better than K50 Ultra or K60 Ultra and lower variants. In my case, I believe I have squeezed out and made the most of what the phone can offer as I usually am making the most out of multiprocessing power and having 2 AAA games being played on spit screen. I did have to replace the screen due to negligence and the USB C port twice because of overuse. I do have the budget but I finally decided to settle with Blackshark 5 instead of Turbo 3/Poco F6 and perhaps to K70 Ultra once I am fully satisfied using it.
I used both the Poco F3 and the iPhone 12 side by side. In terms of camera quality, trust me, the F3 sometimes performs better than the iPhone 12. Yes, I use GCam on the F3, which is why. However, the video ❤❤is not good at all. Anyway, I still love this channel because I purchased the Poco F3 after seeing the review from this channel. Much love, boss!❤
My F3 is still a great phone that when I gave it to my son he loves it after using my F1. I like the design of the F3 more than the Oppo looking F5 and 6.
I loved poco f3 and wasn't going to change it but it stopped working few months ago one night it suddenly stopped working and when i showed it to market they say that its hardware crushed and it was not just me there were few poco f3 already there with same problem so i give up on poco
A lente macro do F3 é perfeita e muito útil (mais útil que a câmera grande angular), touch screen com mais de 300hz, audio douby athmos impecável, câmera principal sony, slow motion de 920fps. Eu simplesmente amo esse aparelho, dos celulares que tive foi o que mais gostei (claro que tenho minhas memorias afetivas do querido Nokia Lumia✊🏻😔)
i have a poco f3 and i never have any ads , i think maybe its because of a certain app you have installed on your phone , i had my poco f3 since the year it was released 2021 , the only problem i had in this year is the connector of the phone wasn't charging good and i have to change it that's all tbh
My Poco f3 motherboard died after 1 year and 8 months of using it😭. Waiting for the new motherboard replacement for like 8 months now, what a worse starting to 2024 it was
@@lvt910 Thanks for your suggestion but I've been using the phone more than 2 months now. Only bug or problem I face is with WhatsApp call notification. Except that Everything works fine and all the notification come on time. I've removed every single Chinese app with adb now it doesn't even feel like a Chinese phone. Moreover the most positive part is... The Chinese ui is very smooth.
How is it pricier? The F3 was for the most part sold a little over 400 euros in Europe while i just found the F6 12GB/512GB version for just 350. Even if you found a discount on the F3 it will still be around the same price and we even had massive inflation since then yet the F6 is not more expensive with more memory and storage.
I just destroyed my poco f3 because of frustration my gf didn't replied on me for a week for a simple mistake out of my frustration I accidentally throw my f3 and total destroy it because of my anger.., 🥺🥺🥺 now I feel lost
Thank you for the comparison Adam. Does the F6 have a physical proximity sensor to switch off the screen during phone calls or listening to voice messages? I'm using F3 and the absence of this sensor is driving me crazy.
The Poco F3 has and will always remain inferior to the Poco F2 Pro aka Redmi K30 Pro/Ultra, the Poco F3 has in my opinion started the decline of the Poco F serie, and for that, I never liked this smartphone. And the Poco F2 Pro had an under-display fingerprint reader.
My Poco F3 still going strong after 3 years of intense usage. I'm just waiting for it to break so I can upgrade to F6 but it show no signs of slowing down🤣
Finally, a worthy successor - after 3 years! 👑
Make a comparison video with Poco f5 and f6
Boleh lah.. I just hope wireless charging at least..
The fact that the POCO F3 lasted as long as it did is bloody impressive!
Yeah! Absolutely man, no issues at all till now
My One died within 3 months
I still got mine but I just have it to game
2 yrs using f3, mine having rare volume down stuck issue and 60% battery health
Mine died after 3yrs
Yup. I'm upgrading from F3 to F6. My mom just broke her phone so it's a perfect timing.
F3 still serves me well though.
Yeah! Finally a great upgrade after 3 years 😅
Enjoy having a locked bootloader and not being allow to have freedom
Staying with the f3, the macro lens is a deal breaker for me. I use it a lot when making and repairing small electronics
Yeah true. Very useful. 💪🏻👏🏻
Same here!!! F3 is still a keeper.

Which rom are you using
How's the battery though?
Same here! Plus, I love the macro camera on the F3. Maybe next year 😂 (I keep saying that every year).
Watching this still using Poco f3
Custom rom support for f3 is crazy, this device can easily run 3 os updates more.

Watching this content on F3
And in my opinion, poco f3 feels a lot better in hand 😅
The glass back is such a great thing
@@SillyCar31 thanks for your feedback bro 😊

Still holding on to f3 i see.
Power button fingerprint sensor is the absolute best way for fingerprint sensors
Why should it be better than a fingerprint sensor in the screen?

you can try with poco f6 pro
That's ironic. The one thing that I actually use a lot of the F3 is to use the selfie camera for vlog - the one and only test that the F3 was better than the F6 😅 I hope they get that sorted.
yo sigo feliz con mi f3 tras 4 años de uso y sin razones aún para cambiarlo, ojalá me dure un par mas jeje
f3 is still on par with f6😅
watching using f3 here, still good.
Hi Adam in your opinion what phone company has the best UI software?
finally my Poco F3 5G borke down last week..after checking the tech said it was CPU problem...cannot turn on langsung..made the decision to repair it (estimated price between RM300-RM400) 😥 terpaksa repair bcoz suddenly ja rosak..no symptom whatsoever haha..then after repair likely to transfer all my pictures and work stuff..then maybe finally give it a rest...total usage was from early 2022 i think..up till now..

bro from malaysia ? my first video from you as I am thinking of updating my f4 to f6, nice compare bro, I will support your other videos as well
Hey man, welcome to the channel and yes, Malaysian here, born and bred 😄. Appreciate you supporting other videos too 😃

Still have mine since it got released and not a single issue on it💪
Nadaot ako F3 ba. Boanga ui. Wa na koy magamit ani😢
The king is not lost... It retired.
Watching on Poco F6 while my F3 is on my side...charging.😂 still using both phones. Thank fro the review btw.❤

Watching on poco f3
Whitch do you suggest poco f6 pro or f6 or 13t pro?
I have Poco F3 and still very happy, Also have a Poco F1 as backup and it works just fine😅
My friend still has his Poco F1 😂 he's using it as secondary but it still works okay
I have F3 6/128 but now i survey z9 turbo 🤔 to upgrade and it's worth?
can you revisit legion's last phone? Legion Y70? and compare it to the current market?
Well it goes without saying bro, it all boils down to our preferences.. Funny, i dreampt of F3 before.. didnt able to get my hands on'em though..
Cool!
11:06 I was expecting wuthering waves or warzone mobile being the most demanding games
Wait isn't f2 pro the first poco that have in display fingerprints censor?
Yup
Is poco f6 worth upgrading from poco f5? I dont really think so but just wanted to know your opinion on this
naaah. Poco F5 is extremely solid still.
Absolutely no

Still using the f3 with custom rom for 3 years ... Still averaging 7h of screen on time, aand better cam performance with Gcam
My F3 is still a great phone that when I gave it to my son he loves it after using my F1. I like the design of the F3 more than the Oppo looking F5 and 6.
Which can be the true successor to Poco F1 ?
Poco X6 Pro or Poco F6?
Or should we wait for the next ?
f3 already is bruh stop overglazing f1
Still rocking with my poco f3
Can i buy poco f3 for pubg gaming? And is there any dead issued in it like poco x3 pro.😊
Yes. I used to play it before and the number of chicken dinners I got was because of the phone not my talent.hehe
Of course yes, F3 still support a stable 60 FPS in Pubg and 90 FPS in COD , but it's better not to use it in hot summer days unless if you have AC
And no there is no dead issue like x3 pro

Bro you miss Speakers output on both devices and complete gaming comparison
For me Poco F5 all around..mybe its for me 😂
But what u think who win F5 or F6??
Updated from poco F3 to Redmi Turbo 3. I am happy with it 😁
Chinese version of Poco F6 causes troubles a lot becuase of its no or delay notification. I suggest you exchange with Poco F6 global version.

Poco f3 + custom ROM = Heaven like experience.
usb otg issue is really annoying
@@chandrakumarnaresh8691 yeah man!
@AdamLoboTV I want to tell you one thing your video quality is just awesome, man fantastic
Poco F3 is better than 2024's entry level to low midrange category phones on the market
Audio wise... both exemplary..👌
Great point buddy
I didn't know phones had ads 😂 so glad pixel phones doesn't
F3 got overheating after the hyper os update while playing game
f3 and custom rom is way better
Let's not forget that the F6 is much pricier than the F3, so that's STILL a huge win imo.
It will forever be the best value phone ever made ❤
How is it pricier? The F3 was for the most part sold a little over 400 euros in Europe while i just found the F6 12GB/512GB version for just 350.
Even if you found a discount on the F3 it will still be around the same price and we even had massive inflation since then yet the F6 is not more expensive with more memory and storage.
I don't know... What the heck does Poco f3 make of.. insanely tough than other 2021 Xiaomi
Cain i get your poco f3 😢😢😢 plzzzzz
Can i ask
POCO F6
POCO F6 PRO
POCO F5 PRO
REDMI NOTE 13 PRO 5G
which is better?
F6 pro
Bought the POCO F6pro to replace my Samsung A73. I am really disappointed by the cameras, the selfie camera is just awful.
The awful selfie camera seems to be a software issue no? The regular F6 has better front camera because of it.
Still happy with my k40 5g with latest official hyper os. 😂😂😂
can i buy poco f3 in 2024
I will my poco f3 white 8\256GB .😊
Using f3 as a daily driver and using x6 pro for games hahaha
Bro that's underdog ing😂
I just destroyed my poco f3 because of frustration my gf didn't replied on me for a week for a simple mistake out of my frustration I accidentally throw my f3 and total destroy it because of my anger.., 🥺🥺🥺 now I feel lost
You're an idi0t, mate.
Watching using Poco f1 😂
Nice! I'm planning to do a revisit on this phone! How is it holding up buddy? 😃
@@AdamLoboTV still survive. Just need to change the battery 😁
@@VIXIIIXIX nice!
An iconic phone
@@Abd-mn1kg yeah 😁 only one poco smartphone has pocophone at the back
What is that Poco F6 video quality lmao
Poco F6 is trash cant be rooted and with hyper os being its main Os its bad ill keep F3 since it has lineage OS
The most awaited comparison ever, Great work Adam ❤
Typing from my Poco F3 😂
Haha thanks!
Make a comparison video with Poco f6 and f5
Nice comprehensive camera comparison!
Thanks bro! ✌️
Nah. You should compare it to F6 Pro, not with a chipset of SD 7 series.
