I'd say that the giants phones aren't affordable for most people these days, whereas the Poco range is for most people. This device is excellent though it has to be said and only a full on geek will notice those "performance issues" mentioned! I'd say that everything about the device is spot on and you can't go wrong really. It's even got amazing stereo speakers!
The biggest problem this phone has is called POCO X3 Pro. When the previous model kicks it's ass on performance and the most interested to buy are of course the owners of previous models then this phone has an issue. As a POCO X3 Pro owner am more like "Yeah no thanks, am fine with what i got". Btw does this even have an SD card support? Because the X3 does.
I personally think 5G is important as far as I can tell, the big networks have stopped investing in 4G making the networks slow when in a big city, so being on 5G is important for a nippy browsing experience. Obviously different networks will be different, but in UK I find both 3 and O2 going this way.
Haptics is the first thing I disable followed by turning Dark Mode on. Is there a way to disable 5G? Is there home screen looping? Able to remove that search bar from the home screen?
It is because of the SD695's limitations that it can't record 4k video. But this is Qualcomm being stupid because earlier 6 series chips even from ones in 2016 like the SD625 support it but not the 695
I wouldn't recommend poco phones to anyone. They have had a history of QA issues . This phone's predecessor poco X3 pro(at least the Indian version) has a motherboard issue that has hard bricked like 10-20%(maybe even more actually) of the phones and every working one is a ticking time bomb that can brick anytime. It's so bad the service centres gave out redmi note 10 pro instead (another phone from poco's parent brand Xiaomi around the same price) to anyone whose phone bricked under warranty(on paper at least, many refused citing something else) There have been other issues too like ghost touches etc. but those aren't as widespread. Poco X2 straight up disabled camera with updates and some other models (they release a lot of phones) have also hard bricked due to software updates (the poco x3 pro is a hardware issue and no software tweak can save it and many models have it , just a question of when they fail)
@@nemor1ss guess it varies. My experience with XM service centres are great! They replaced my board under an hour for free after I bricked my device. Accept battery replacement for free under warranty after i complained it was dropped within a year of usage (got 24 months warranty)
The Poco F1 had a popular ghost touch issue with one of their panel types (they used 2 panel models for the phone) (it was a mix of hardware and software issues). Mine had the "faulty" panel, but didnt have any horrible ghost touch issues with the default OS MIUI. Now I still resorted to installing a custom OS, as after an update I had a lot of battery drain issues. Installed Pixel Experience, battery life was way better and camera quality got better as well, as Xiaomi is known to have crappy camera software. Overall most of the phones have great hardware, but very crappy software filled with bugs, battery drain, crappy camera and bloatware. Still using the phone to this day, everything works and battery life is acceptable (phone is now like 3-4 years old), considering changing the battery myself and keep using the phone.
My guess is that xiaomi will updates this phone once, but indian and indonesians will keep it up to date for at least 4 years - community support is fire on poco phones, the poco x3 pro already has a port of the android 13 beta, despite not even being on android 12.1 with the stock rom. Remember the say, miui is gay
@@broma7565 Indeed, this is what i did - twice. The only phones that can rival with the poco x3 pro at any price point are the lastest sony and a Japanese only phone from sharp. This phone has everything it's crazy, even Ubuntu touch and even maybe windows in the future
Miui for poco is different from miui for redmi and miui for redmi is different for miui for xiaomi and the poco miui is the worst with the most bugs and lags while miui for redmi is way better and miui for Xiaomi is slightly better than miui for redmi
@SAGE oh that's definitely interesting. And I use a note 10 pro as well so I'm just intrigued. So many people would pick the x3 pro over the note 10 pro, so as for you.. why did you exchange it?
Hello.. I have a dilemma and I hope you can help me choose. In terms of main camera and selfie camera which one would you choose for a decent AND above average everyday in terms of quality, sharpness, dynamic range, low noise, low light, natural/real-life tones and video stabilization for their specs and optimisations: 1. OnePlus 9 w/ EIS (Sony IMX689) 2. Realme 9 Pro+ w/ OIS (SonyIMX766) 3. Poco F4 w/ OIS ( unknown sensor). Also, taking into account the company that is faster in updates, community support and current device optimisations. Please help. THANKS.
Kwgt works fine. You just need to enable and allow all it's permissions in the app info. All background permits, allow shortcuts on home screen, enable everything. And disable all battery restrictions. Memeui goes a little too hard on apps to "save battery" Though I'm speaking from past knowledge. 12.5.9 was when I quit miui. Things may have changed but I doubt that.
Well the poco X3 pro was focused too much on just gaming The X4 pro is a wholesome product. Did you hear about the issues that appeared in the X3 pro in their motherboard. The company response to this issue was that they straight away told you to either replace the motherboard or buy another phone, that's why you won't see the X3 pro go on sale anymore , you literally can't find it anywhere
@@shubhro1347 you still can find some in Chinese shops, I was about to buy the X3 Pro, but luckily, the Poco F3 was really cheap (289$ the 6/128 versión), so I bought the F3, but if it wasnt that chsap back then, I would have bought the X3 Pro, my brother has it and its not showing any issues
@@re_tomori549same to my surprise. Most of the phones people complain so much about on here does not have issues in Nigeria. Most people buy used one of the phones and they last just like new ones. Sometimes I wonder maybe we aren't all humans. Perhaps aliens are living among us with so much complain about phone going dead or getting bricked. Perhaps some of them are getting some bad virus from unauthorized websites.
I plan to get this phone next week. But noe im not interested anymore. Im currently using redmi mote 9 pro. The only reason i want to change my phone is becauxe of the LCD screen and the nits.. i live in Africa, its mostly sunny here and I'm almost unable to see the contents of my phone under direct sunlight and its annoying and sometimes it gets pversaturated and it irritates my viewing. Apart from that, the display is crisp and the camera is top 💯. Even though most reviewers makes mostly processor look bad. This snapdragon 720g is a very good processor. Now i wonder how they keep saying snapdragon 695 5g is a poor processor. U guys needs to know that not everuone is buying their phone to rurn it to a game station. My snapdragoon handles all my apps well.. cos im a heaby user. But not much of a gamer. Though i play games on it with with no issues at all. So, for me your reviews are not encouraging enough or i ahould say you arent passing the message the rught way. Youre comparing a phone of $250 to the performance of a phone h bought for $1200. Trust me even iphone users and samsung users always ask me which phone i use whenever i take pictures with my redmi mote 9 pro.
What if I said..I've got S8(2017), and it has 5g. Snapdragon 835. What's wrong in here...5G bling-bling we can call it, so shine more than a terminal phone itself.Just to clarify...
I dont really get why the current 680 and 695 chipset cant capture up to 4k video, i have a Realme 5 from 3 years ago with a 665 chip and it can capture 4k wtf?!
Hmmm... thank you for your review. Can you add Australian prices too to your videos since you are Aussie, which is one of the main reasons why I watch you? Your verdict compared to Poco X3 NFC vs Poco X4 Pro 5G? I've been contemplating for almost 2 weeks whether I should take the plunge to X4 or not.
Definitely X4 Pro over the X3 NFC. But if you consider the Poco X3 Pro then get that. Overall I'd just suggest the Realme GT Master which seems to be the same price but doesn't have horrific software like the Poco.

Hello.. I have a dilemma and I hope you can help me choose.
In terms of main camera and selfie camera which one would you choose for a decent AND above average everyday in terms of quality, sharpness, dynamic range, low noise, low light, natural/real-life tones and video stabilization for their specs and optimisations:
1. OnePlus 9 w/ EIS (Sony IMX689)

3. Poco F4 w/ OIS ( unknown sensor).
Also, taking into account the company that is faster in updates, community support and current device optimisations. Please help. THANKS.
2 is probably a better choice. I heard that the 9 pro plus outperforms OP 9. Also low light is not even a competition for the 9 pro plus
