the Poco F3 is far more than expected - it is a true flagship-killer and i am just overwhelmed by the power this Phone has. A awesome thing - with amazing technology,...
I've subbed, I got the F3 also - well awaiting delivery as Amazon seem to be having some issues but its a worthy replacement for my Galaxy Note 8 which has been stellar, I just cannot justify paying 1000GBP for a phone and the Poco F3 has one of the fastest mobile processors in the business.
the f3 camera is more than good enough for me. I don't take photos much and even then I only do so in the day. plus, the performance is better so that's a plus for me because I love playing games on my phone. I have a mi 8 pro right now.
@@ktradi I ended up cancelling the order from aliexpress and ordering it from my home country for 10 euros more with one day shipping. Enjoying the phone alot!
I used your Videos to judge the Poco F3, see if it was worth the buy. I was interested on the AMOLED screen, compared to the IPS on the X3 Pro. Your video comparing those two helped me choose the F3. And with the money I saved from buying literally any other flagship, I bought a Poco X3 for my mum. So yeah, the value is great.
tks bro for ur detailed and impartial reviews, was contesting between the F3, mi 11, S21. After watching ur video, it just make sense to purchase the F3 as it provides the best value. Technology will keep advancing and customers will keep paying top dollar for the top notch phones. Its rare to have brands such as Poco to beat the norm and offer great phones with truly reasonable and affordable prices 😊👍 I am just sold on tis phone and will get it soon. Also just subscribed to ur channel, keep it up for the great work!
Great video man! Was hoping for a video comparison. But looking at the pictures its quite clear that the S21 ultra will probably take the lead. You've gained a new sub for this video man. Keep up the great content!
It's about your preference.. if you want premium experience go with s21 ultra.. if you want save money and want good performance phone.. go for poco f3..
for the price, you can get a poco f3/f4 + a DSLR + another lens. I bought the F3 since I already have a Nikon DSLR which can blow any smartphone in clarity
I would rather buy three phones of the same price level as the poco from xiaomi for 18 to 24 months between purchases than to get a apple / Samsung top of the line and use it for three to four years
I have the S21 Ultra with the Exinos processor with 12gb RAM & 128gb here in the UK is ok but Samsung did a soft wear update a few months ago and the phone is running much faster than when I first upgraded it. I also bought the Samsung Z flip 3 on a great Black Friday deal with a trade in & voucher code I got it for just £350 & it has the Snapdragon 888 with 8gb RAM & 256 gb memory & the Z flip 3 is very fast & runs brilliantly so yeah I wish Samsung didn’t cut corners on they’re most expensive flagship smartphone like the S21 Ultra for the rest of the world & fit it with the Qualcomm snapdragon processor like only the USA gets to enjoy, Samsung must have done a pretty good deal with US companies to be doing it for years and years. So I just might get the Poco F3 as is on a deal sale right now for £269 plus a free mi smart smartband 6 right now & use it for gaming more than my other Samsung phones, ok cheers & peace ✌️
This is the 20'th day which i am using my poco f3 8/256...The secreen, processor,sound quality , design.. etc all suberp... the camera quality for rear and front camera is sufficient,For most people more than sufficient maybe...I like and respect my poco f3 😍
i got p20 pro and want new on is it worth to get F3 and is it a upgrade to my p20 pro. or should i buy op 9 pro ? or is F3 better. like i dont need that good kamera?? any advices
I'm not a camera enthusiast or a person who values social status. I bought poco F3 because it has the cheapest price with a flagship specs from last year. Although, I can say that SAMSUNG has the greatest Aesthetic between the two, the design is very premium.
F3 appeals to many. S21 Ultra is for those money is no object and smart buying makes no sense. Using Samsung Note 1 to 5 long time ago was no brainer as no credible competitor around. Now u just need to be a little bit smatter to get best bang for your buck.
Here's the summary 1. Samsung feels a little better but dosen't matter because it all feels same after you put a cover 2. Samsung has 2k resolution while poco has 1080p 3. Poco f3 has better performance 4. The Samsung has better dynamic range(just install google camera on poco f3 and they're on par in my opinion) 5. F3 is one third the price, it also includes the charger in the box so even more cheaper if you think about it I think point 1 and 4 dosen't matter that much as they can be remedied in like 10 dollars pretty easily. And if we look at the other 2 differences excluding the price then it's a tie in between wanting slightly better performance and slightly better resolution. So when we finally factor in the price/the fifth point I made then it's pretty clear who's the winner
Buy the Realme 7 pro it's just as good with no screen issues and charges to full in 34min from 0%. It also feels slightly better built. The Poco F3 has known screen issues and you will be lucky to find one without. The latest update does not fix the issues.
@@SaravanaKumar-gs7pj It is better on the Samsung, of course, but is it 600€ better? The camera really is the biggest fallback, but that matters a lot on personal preference.
@@wheezel55 s21ultra as expected the in price it would have better camera don’t complain to much if the F3 have THE SAME PRICE it would have been better though
I eventually decided to buy this phone and I must say it's really a pleasant experience. I thought it would have had a lot of bugs and software issues and it doesn't. I'm really happy with this. The only thing is that it doesn't take good pics in poor lightings. Everything else is great
I rather choose the "FLAGSHIP KILLER"... I had purchased my Poco F3 since Nov..15, 2021... Til this year 2023 this phone improving its qualities after android 13 upgrades...
I would buy a S21+ or Ultra with Snapdragon but it's not available in my neck of the woods so I just got the S20 FE 5g for that sweet sweet Snapdragon SOC. I did not get the Poco F3 because of the cameras, ads and MIUI. Software support should be better on Samsung also.
Samsung kills when it comes to software no doubt But you just can't beat the F3's pricing And software got much better lately with recent updates Just got the phone and the camera is actually quite good, of course it trails behind comparing to flagships but again, pricing, they had to cut a corner, and I think that's the only corner they cut, putting a more than more than ok camera which does the job You can also turn off the ads and MIUI is very clean, trust me With the official support for themes, you can either use the original theme with the phone, or countless ones you prefer, without going down in battery, performance, or anything really
Okay I got the S21 Ultra after having my R17 pro (Oppo) for 5 years, and the Samsung felt like a DOWNGRADE (for real). The battery took 90 mins to charge, and it didn't even last me a few hours. I had it replaced twice and it was just terrible. Felt like a DOWNGRADE from my Oppo from 2017. On a hot day, in the car in air con I was using Snapchat for just a selfie and it glitched out, got so hot it burnt my fingers & I couldn't even turn it off! It randomly opened the average camera & started taking pic after pic after pic. It was a DUD. I had to drop it cos it burnt me and just wait for it to die cos it couldn't be turned off at all. I loved some things about it and I think over time it got better - the battery lasted longer & I liked how it was "smart" in getting used to how I used it. But worth almost $2,000 Australian dollars?! No way!! I'm now considering the Poco F3 but I'm SO scared after the Samsung experience, and am overwhelmed with the amount of options. The F3 seems to be the best overall out there, and affordable. If I had unlimited money, I'd get the iPhone 13 pro max or the Google Pixel 6 Pro (I desperately want the Pixel, but I'm not willing to pay it off even because it is just not up to parr on reviews I've read - the battery and charging are deal breakers for me if they can't match my 5 yr old Oppo) so I'm thinking of getting the F3 and waiting for a decent phone to come out that has the "smart" features, is flagship, has everything basically, but can also handle long life battery and 25 minute 0 to full charging. I thought that on 5 years time they would've come up with a flagship phone that can do this but I was shockingly very wrong. I'm also hoping the prices go down just a bit for these flagships because $2,000 is just absolutely ridiculous and too much for a phone. I paid $700 for the Oppo & it's the best phone I ever had. I have to upgrade because the storage has run out, causing the phone to start to lag. The camera is not my fave, but otherwise it has NEVER given me problems. In fact I got used to never even thinking about charging my phone. Again, I'm so scared to try another phone - especially one I've never tried with a totally new UI - the MIUI I believe or something? And apparently it can be a bit glitchy and not the best system, and I've only ever used the Android system. So I'm scared. But I'm hoping with some TH-cam tutorials, I'll get the hang of it and also be able to optimise the F3 by getting rid of the bloatware & ads that are preinstalled apparently. I'm also planning to add GCAM. Again... I'm a complete non tech person, these are just things I've picked up from hours of watching TH-cam phone reviews 😭 but hopefully with a bit of tweaking, the F3 can be a good phone for what I need it for ❤️ I'd love for it to be waterproof & dust resistant, but we can't have it all and I've never needed that in my life of having phones so it should be okay 🤞
I was using a find x2 pro, wasn't happy, went back to my realme x50 pro, not happy, waiting for Poco F3 to arrive, did I make a good choice? It's disgusting how much phones are and that they bring a new one every year. Selling the other phones and never going to buy a flagship again!
poco, realme, and maybe even oneplus are enthusiast brands. people who buy these phones have a high chance of rooting and installing custom roms so software is never a point of consideration for me and the enthusiasts I've mentioned.
Why are we even comparing a $1400 with $450 phone. The specs are good on the f3 but the software reliability on the Samsung is way better and the reliability fracture is what Xiaomi needs to work on. Always a set of bugs on their phones
Same here! I still have my s10+ but the screen starts to show a pink line which is really distracting so I had to get the F3 as a replacement. F3 has better performance but I would say display is still better on the s10+. The F3 tends to over saturate and darken the videos too much. Not sure if its only happening to me.
Wohoooooo Cartman! How I wish I have a S21 Ultra lol. Just Bought Poco F3 256GB. So I can have an Android Phone. My IPhone 8 is kinda full and slowing down coz of time.
Everyone complains about the dimming issue remember this Don’t push the limitations of a phone it is not A PC especially don’t complain about it some lacking come on people ITS “PRICE “
i got a mi 10t pro today from amazon while i wait amazon to ship my poco f3! will have to keep the best of them! i think ill just give mi 10t pro on my wife..its a really good phone, i really wish f3 had micro sd slot..because i just need it for gaming +emulation.. i wanted to just put on it a 400-500gb sd card full of roms dreamcast/psp etc... but now i will have to fit them on 256 internal....
Additional problem that I don't believe was mentioned here, is that there is no phone jack and no possibility to add storage to the Poco F3. Is there any alternative for around the same price and specs, but with sd card slot?
Poco X3 Pro, has an 860 processor though and an IPS display instead of AMOLED, however it has a larger battery life by around 500 mAh and is £100 cheaper depending on where you are. Everything else is similar including screen size and the 120hz refresh rate so I would recommend that if you would really like that. Also the Poco F3 comes with a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter in the box if that suffices any concerns. Edit: It does have an SD Card slot however it replaces the second SIM option so if you use 2 sims do know you may have to sacrifice one for the SD Card slot. 2nd edit: This is obviously such a short summary I wrote up based on basic research, I would prefer you to also do some more research on this, thanks :)
@@arimmo6345 Hello! Thank you for taking the time to help me. Does that mean that I could insert an SD card if I only need 1 SIM card? How could this work exactly?
For me winner is Poco F3 [Redmi K40].. I got samsung s21 ultra just used 4 month and become death screen. Expensive phone with shty quality samsung. Poco F3 hv super performance for games. Just a display and camera a little weaker. Other features are awesome and price is awesome too.. Battery is last longer too
All Samsung phones look and feel cheap...unlike in the past...and also s 21 ultra feels less premium than other flagships....people see the price and think: wow this is premium....but its not!!
Lim, im about to buy rn10pro, & very hesitant to spend more, as im still getting a proper flagship later at the end of the year. But, should i be actually, really concern about its screen problems? Seems like more issues coming out eavh day. Your opinions & recommendations pls? tq Lim
Hey man, no need to worry too much about the display UNLESS you play Genshin or other graphic intensive games a lot. So far the RN10 Pro does not show any dimming issues and if that's your main concern go for it.
I would advise you to get the Mi11 Lite instead, it is better at everything IMO. Camera shots are highly dependent on processor ISP, and the battery life is also affected by the processing size.
I just got my Poco F3 right now. Absolutely amazing phone 🥰

The F3 destroys the Ultra for 1 reason: Snapdragon instead of Exynos. That's really all you need to know.
Wait I thought it also has SD888?
S21 also has Snapdragon, depending on where you buy from.
*In games yups it destroys S21 but other than that no

I'm also hoping the prices go down just a bit for these flagships because $2,000 is just absolutely ridiculous and too much for a phone. I paid $700 for the Oppo & it's the best phone I ever had. I have to upgrade because the storage has run out, causing the phone to start to lag. The camera is not my fave, but otherwise it has NEVER given me problems. In fact I got used to never even thinking about charging my phone.
Again, I'm so scared to try another phone - especially one I've never tried with a totally new UI - the MIUI I believe or something? And apparently it can be a bit glitchy and not the best system, and I've only ever used the Android system. So I'm scared. But I'm hoping with some TH-cam tutorials, I'll get the hang of it and also be able to optimise the F3 by getting rid of the bloatware & ads that are preinstalled apparently. I'm also planning to add GCAM. Again... I'm a complete non tech person, these are just things I've picked up from hours of watching TH-cam phone reviews 😭 but hopefully with a bit of tweaking, the F3 can be a good phone for what I need it for ❤️ I'd love for it to be waterproof & dust resistant, but we can't have it all and I've never needed that in my life of having phones so it should be okay 🤞
Please compare the f3 to the xiaomi mi 10t
Hello! Do you happen to encounter the dimming issue on the Poco F3? or it is already fixed due to the updates? Thank you!
it is fixed new update
I was using a find x2 pro, wasn't happy, went back to my realme x50 pro, not happy, waiting for Poco F3 to arrive, did I make a good choice? It's disgusting how much phones are and that they bring a new one every year. Selling the other phones and never going to buy a flagship again!
No you won't be happy I'm selling mine for a Samsung Galaxy S21.
@@wizzgamer already got it, no regrets. It's unbelievable
Can you please compare Poco F3 to Oneplus Nord 2?, I think it is a very compelling comparison for many of us.
hey, are u selling somesort of 2nd hand f3? :D I also heard the dimming issue is so severe that X3 pro can b better option - what u think
Dimming issue on f3 is already fixed on new update its solved. Im using x3 pro hihihihi
POCO F3 is 2021's flagship killer.
btw, will there be a POCO F3 Pro?
Nope, cos the better version of Poco F3 is MI11
Redmi K40 pro is the poco f3 pro
Because K40 and F3 are same Poco is just a Global version of K
Yes the gt..
I think you shoud change the background color (white table) and lighting position, i feel its shinning to bright, and the rest are great👍
S21U all the way.. in my preference i'm not buying a phone just for the specs, experience using it more than specs..
S21ultra is also on the WAY to be a LIVER PRICE
poco, realme, and maybe even oneplus are enthusiast brands. people who buy these phones have a high chance of rooting and installing custom roms so software is never a point of consideration for me and the enthusiasts I've mentioned.
Then you haven't tried poco f3 and others lmao.
Why are we even comparing a $1400 with $450 phone. The specs are good on the f3 but the software reliability on the Samsung is way better and the reliability fracture is what Xiaomi needs to work on. Always a set of bugs on their phones
I lost my s10 plus and now i decided to pick poco f3 .. no regret
Same here! I still have my s10+ but the screen starts to show a pink line which is really distracting so I had to get the F3 as a replacement. F3 has better performance but I would say display is still better on the s10+. The F3 tends to over saturate and darken the videos too much. Not sure if its only happening to me.
In India it is launched as Mi 11X Got one 2 days ago and it's amazing ,truly loving it
Realest tech reviewer on TH-cam
Pay 1/3 the price... Get better chipset
Great video! Make a comparasion Poco F3 with Gcam 8.1 photos/videos. thanks!
Probably not a fair comparison, gcam doesn't work well on exynos chipset, maybe compare it to the snapdragon variant
Poco F3 is on 🔥 Samsung is definitely better in camera, display but price is too much.
How long does the battery on f3 last? (Browsing, whatching vids
Wohoooooo Cartman! How I wish I have a S21 Ultra lol. Just Bought Poco F3 256GB. So I can have an Android Phone. My IPhone 8 is kinda full and slowing down coz of time.
Everyone complains about the dimming issue remember this Don’t push the limitations of a phone it is not A PC especially don’t complain about it some lacking come on people ITS “PRICE “
Who's gonna boot them up together ??? ... I got a little uncomfortable being used to the custom comparison manner.
i got a mi 10t pro today from amazon while i wait amazon to ship my poco f3! will have to keep the best of them! i think ill just give mi 10t pro on my wife..its a really good phone, i really wish f3 had micro sd slot..because i just need it for gaming +emulation.. i wanted to just put on it a 400-500gb sd card full of roms dreamcast/psp etc... but now i will have to fit them on 256 internal....
Just got my Poco f3 amazing phone
Wow how do you see the phone?. How is the battery performance?. I'm not a gamer just a regular day to day user though. How's the selfie camera?
I would be interested to see a comparison between Mi11 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Mi ultra killing samsung lol
Additional problem that I don't believe was mentioned here, is that there is no phone jack and no possibility to add storage to the Poco F3. Is there any alternative for around the same price and specs, but with sd card slot?
Poco X3 Pro, has an 860 processor though and an IPS display instead of AMOLED, however it has a larger battery life by around 500 mAh and is £100 cheaper depending on where you are. Everything else is similar including screen size and the 120hz refresh rate so I would recommend that if you would really like that. Also the Poco F3 comes with a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter in the box if that suffices any concerns.
Edit: It does have an SD Card slot however it replaces the second SIM option so if you use 2 sims do know you may have to sacrifice one for the SD Card slot.
2nd edit: This is obviously such a short summary I wrote up based on basic research, I would prefer you to also do some more research on this, thanks :)
@@arimmo6345 Hello! Thank you for taking the time to help me. Does that mean that I could insert an SD card if I only need 1 SIM card? How could this work exactly?
Mid Range phone Getting impressive as Compared to Flagship Phone:MKBHD
Wow from 15k subs to 72k subs. Congratulations bro!
Awesome bro always produce nice and very informative video :))
Love your reviews! Thumbs up. Just curious how do you get the circular icons on poco f3
Go into theme settings it's the original one on the left and infinity is on the right. You can also change it in settings and display.
I own Poco F3 but no contest, hands down to S21 Ultra 5G.
should i get poco F3 or redmi note 11 pro?
Best case for dropping for f3?
For me winner is Poco F3 [Redmi K40].. I got samsung s21 ultra just used 4 month and become death screen. Expensive phone with shty quality samsung. Poco F3 hv super performance for games. Just a display and camera a little weaker. Other features are awesome and price is awesome too.. Battery is last longer too
All Samsung phones look and feel cheap...unlike in the past...and also s 21 ultra feels less premium than other flagships....people see the price and think: wow this is premium....but its not!!
3x the price with slower CPU and half the storage space, and they don't give the charger!? Samsung is treating their customers like idiots or what?
True but it's worth the extra for the software experience on Samsung.
Ok S21 Ultra is better, but the price of Poco F3 is 3x cheaper, so the trade in for specs vs price gives Poco F3 a winner 👍
Right if buy poco f3 and the remaining money just buy the cheapest dslr or camera Cannon as possible and buy a PC
Hi bro....I am comparing Poco f3...redmi note 10 pro and mi11 lite...which want is the most valuable and worth
F3 bro. Buy it and it will last you at least 2 years. Think long term bro.
Hi which phone is better, Poco f3 or Poco f2 Pro ?
buying samsung and iphone is more of status symbol
Lim, im about to buy rn10pro, & very hesitant to spend more, as im still getting a proper flagship later at the end of the year.
But, should i be actually, really concern about its screen problems? Seems like more issues coming out eavh day.
Your opinions & recommendations pls? tq Lim
Don't have to worry much if you don't blast your screen at max brightness for prolonged hours.
Hey man, no need to worry too much about the display UNLESS you play Genshin or other graphic intensive games a lot. So far the RN10 Pro does not show any dimming issues and if that's your main concern go for it.
@@Gayshima thanks for advise bro, ease my concern after reading many comment on display issues
@@LimReviews nope, only Pokemon Go. :-) thanks Lim, much appreciated
I would advise you to get the Mi11 Lite instead, it is better at everything IMO. Camera shots are highly dependent on processor ISP, and the battery life is also affected by the processing size.
Still deciding what to buy if poco F3 or poco x3 pro😅 btw good review💪❤
This comment has been typed using the Poco F3. it's beast of a set, extreme value for money 👌🤗✨
Great video.
