EVERY tech TH-camr needs to do this type of video and not just the 'hey, today is the official launch, but I've been testing the phone for a whole two days so here is the ultimate review'. Honestly, great work you do, Mr.
Love the re-review idea, suits people like myself that don't buy at launch but wait and see how the software ends up etc... Not enough people do this kind of video so appreciate it Chris! - I do understand that you can't keep every phone for a long term review also, but I'm glad you kept the F3 for this one 👍🏻👍🏻
Although video is good as always-for me means one thing-sales for xiaomi as not good as expected. If you dig bit deeper, you will find lot of complaints from ppl which bought xiaomi phones lately. Dont get me wrong, in my family we own 3 of them, and i can tell you one thing: redmi note series is great when they are launched but they do not age very good at all. This is most probably due to MIUI
I had f3 for two days. It's faster than the samurai's sword. But, It has hundreds of bugs (latest miui version). It glitched on first launch when I was migrating from old phone (thank God I didn't delete anything and left it switched off). The battery is draining faster than the first pint in a pub. Camera is garbage, you only notice it when trying to make good picture. Recorded video was showing a lot of noise as well. Returned it back to xiaomi after two days. Their customer service is great actually. Maybe it's me being unlucky, but I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone.
@PAUL MH38 I am sorry for you but probably yours is a faulted unit, mine just flies everyday, and if for you is terrible, it does not mean that is the same for other users
With so much wannabe tech TH-camr these days, I tend to look for your videos. No drama, no your usual TH-cam cliche, no clickbait-y annoying thumbnails, and always on to the details right away. Yours should be the standard.
Yeah dude i went with a friend to buy him a redmi note 10 pro but the shop owner showed us poco x3 pro and i was like wtf at this price. He got a poco x3 pro then a week later i got one myself. Holy crap at this price this phone is a damn no brainer
@@hmp8709 yea I don't want lcd anymore.. I want to try out amoled. That's why I bought poco f3 for myself. Still didn't receive the package as it from China.
@@martinkendal2486 - Hello mate - I just purchased mine, X3 Pro from Amazon UK (02/07/21) - £209.00 - 256GB/8GB RAM version. I just could not turn it down at that price - w
Nice video, thanks. I've had the X3 NFC for nearly a year. (I usually update my phone every 6-12 months). It's running the new 12.5 UI with no problems. It's been a good phone but lately has been noticeably slower. So, for an update is the F3 for sure.
Yeah i bought It too but at April and it's getting slower and slower, do you think i should buy Poco X3 Pro for 170€ or should wait for the new year coming?
I upgraded from a Mi9 to the F3 like 2 weeks ago it was on sale around these parts for about 277€ for the 128GB storage one I really like it, but I noticed slightly worse performance from it with MIUI 12.5 when compared to all reviews around at least it doesn't heat up much :D
Love the fact you do re-reviews after a thorough analysis of the phone. I got an X3 pro last Friday and just got the miui update today and I must say that it's much smoother but yes there are a few bugs but I can live with that!
Thanks for sharing that. I bought 2 X3 Pro's (one for me one for my son) and they should be arriving by Tuesday next week at the latest. I look forward to using it. I have been a BlackBerry user since 2010 and this is my first departure from BlackBerry since.
great review as always, I am using X3 Pro switched from an iPhone to it. I have to say best decision ever, this phone has everything a person would need.
I've got POCO F3 & installed MIUI EU ROM on it for better performance, thanks to your review the *Screens & direct sunlight legibility* is mostly what I worry about as I live a very bright country XD
*should also show us the peak brightness of the F3 under sunlight vs the others instead of only showing us the dimmed brightness which looks the same, i always wonder how big of a different it is with amoled vs ips under bright sun*
X3 Pro wins for me.. and btw, KUDOS!! Thank you so much for making this. I've seen a lot of videos comparing all three phones, but yours seem to be the most detailed and answers all the questions I have.
Doing the Lord's work as always! I had this question in my head today during Prime day and then Chris to the rescue with the exact video title! Thanks for jogging on for us dude. Keep it up!
What great re-review! I really miss that type of videos in general and I'm glad this model is gets it. That really means there is a lot of quality behind it. It really helps me to decide which one of those is the best for my needs - X3 Pro!
just get my Poco X3 NFC a month before official launch of X3 Pro on Indonesia yes they just launch with pretty same price, but after see some comparison, X3 NFC have a more good camera sensor. but have a bad night mode because of just using snapdragon 7 series vs 8 series in X3 Pro. Overal im pretty happy with my X3 NFC
I bought the X3 NFC as an early bird but found it to bulky for my liking. When the F3 came out I bought it instead and gave the X3 to my son. The F3 didn't only look much better but it also didn't felt bulky at all. The screen is another welcome bonus, I miss the sdcard though. I think the extra money is well spend even when you compare it to the X3 pro.
I would consider getting the one with more ROM storage and then you wouldn't really need to use an SDcard. So for me, I'd choose the 8GB/256GB and I can forego the sdcard, headphone jack, and fm radio for a better macro focus camera, and better display. Thoughts?
Agree with you mate.. The X3 Pro is definitely the best option out of the 3 this year.. It has almost everything.. Performance that is almost the SD 865 level, memory card slot, jack, stereo speakers, ir blaster..and price.. As fkr camera and screen.. It maybe depends on personal opinion.. For me its good enough because I'm not into camera and the screen is also ok for me.. Still prefer LCD as it cheaper to repair.. Currently using a Galaxy A30 with AMOLED screen as my 2nd device.. And the cost to repair the screen is sad for my pocket..
Thank you for this video, really helped me decide to buy the F3! I’m currently using an old iPhone X, but I just cannot stand it anymore. I’m going to buy the F3 as a transition phone, until Samsung drops a new Note in 2022. I initially wanted to buy the Note 20 Ultra but with the Exynos 990 chip here in Germany, it’s just a waste of money 😔
Can you tell Poco to go easy with the branding. It's almost a deal breaker for me. At least have the option to opt out with the design. Too bad it's a great phone
I think the focus are set differently. The Poco X3 NFC is a well balanced phone with very good cameras for its price. The Poco X3 Pro is all about the most power for a low price. Better cameras mean more costs.
I have the opportunity to compare pictures between the X3 NFC and F3 every now and then. I don't think the results of the F3 are noticeably worst and sometimes even better. Night pictures seem to be better on the F3 perhaps due the processing power of the sd870.
2nd video watching U,now I'm sure U R the right person 4 analysis & technically so helpful 4 clients 2 make sure about the money they spent in the right place, " value 2 price Great wishes 2 U
I really had a lot of GPS drift with Poco F3. Good thing I noticed it soon and returned it. Used it in Pokemon Go. Inside my appartment I had no GPS lock.
@@Techtablets Strangely the GPS was used if I had GPS status & toolbox in split screen with Pokémon Go while indoors. MIUI 12.5 didn't bring any improvement
Brilliant comparison Chris, thank you. Interesting that the F3 screen dimming is still an issue. I saw a recent comment from someone elsewhere that this issue had been resolved. Obviously they were talking rubbish so thanks again for clarifying that.
I really appreciate your work..this man deserves way more followers👍..I've been in the dark concerning choosing between Realme 8, X3 pro and redmi 9T(Amoled, power or battery) after watching this there's no competition.. X3 pro🎸🔔🎹🎙
With thanks from Singapore 🇸🇬 👍 i really like how you summarise these 3 phones from POCO.. giving a best-value evaluation... More expensive may mean better components but good-value is a lot more subjective to personal preferences. I have for the last few weeks been thinking how to choose from these 3 phones 🤔... Better screen or camera... Or do i even need 5G yet 😅 Your video is really useful 👏👏
I give up my Poco F3 due to serious proximity sensor issues with whatsapp and few apps with call feature (few xiaomi model facing same issue) I'm now very happy with Realme GT
My phone dream team!😍 The X3 Pro gets it though as I prefer an LCD display. I could wait for the X3 Gt, a new phone is not urgent and waiting for a particular game to be released
Thanks for the video! I ended up getting a Poco F3, but I always think about what it would have been like to get a Redmi Note 10 pro. Could you do a re-review comparing the F3 to the Redmi note 10 pro as well?
As someone who had both you made the right choice Poco F3 is the far better phone. Much more powerful, better oled screen, much better haptics, slightly faster charging and better build quality. Cameras are only marginally worse than the Redmi Note 10 Pro but still decent for the money.
I bought F3. Its best out of 3 and best buy phone under 400eur (370 here in Croatia). Everything but the cam is on flagship level. And camera is better with new update. With gcam its really good, not 2021 flagship level but good enough. Mcg Gcam brings 60fps at 4k also and more details in photos.
MIUI 12.5.2. is already rolling out for Poco F3. Apparently battery life is better, more optimisations, fixes for proximity sensor some ppl had (mine is ok), better sound quality from speakers etc..
Despite all the hints and warnings on the internet, I ordered the poco F3 and sent it back straight away. The one with the 1200 nits brightness and the 120 Hertz display is just an annoying mess. As we all know, after the phone was released, the display dimmed even with the slightest load, so extremely that you could hardly see any content. After the alleged update it got a little better, but e.g. outside in the sunshine it starts to dim immediately, instead of getting an additional boost for brightening, as it should be. Then there is the 120 Hertz, because the entire system shuts down, switching to 60 Hertz. And then, despite the phone cooling down, don't go back to 120 Hertz. To do this, you have to tap on the already set 120 Hertz again. And that about ten times a day. One can only hope that this problem will finally be fixed with further updates!
Thank you for this excellent excellent re-review comparison! Helps a lot in my decision making for which Poco to get. 👍 Will you be making a re-review for the Redmi Note 10G Vs Redmi Note 10S? 😁
The only thing I don't like with the F3 is the AMOLED screen. I've had so many Samsung phones before but they all ended up getting the infamous oled screen burn in less than a year so I'm officially done with this type of screen. I also don't really like the weird white color on the AMOLED and its resolution (because of the pentile pixels) that seems to be less dense than the IPS (a 1080p IPS seems to be more dense in pixels than a QHD AMOLED display).
Superb showdown Chris🙂👍👍. It is really strange that the phone with the midrange chipset has the better Camera performance🤦♂️. I personally prioritize gaming performance more and battery life. So I prefer the F3 here, although it has the higher price tag. But it seems worth it, because of the sleeker design and it's lacking the billboard sign that's on the back of the other two.
Hey @TechTablets I wonder, in the battery life test, on the original review of the Poco X3 NFC it score over 15 h almost 16h and now it's a bit over of 10 h! What change? It seems a too drastic change on the results whereas the X3 Pro and F3 seems to be about the same results of their individual reviews on battery life. Always enjoying your videos, Cheers!
Ill still stick with the poco x3 nfc, better battery life and camera's are amazing, the sd 732g chipset is fine, it can run most game's and the phone runs smooth and hardly over heats.
This has almost reached 30k So what's your opinion, will you make comparison video between Poco F3 vs Realme GT Or Any 870 device vs Poco F3 ? Or maybe with Oneplus 8T/9R
hi, i really love your videos but i'd love to hear the name of camera sensor each phones' camera uses for instance, x3 nfc's main camera is sony imx682
That's interesting, my POCO X3 NFC has widevine L1 cert... You even show it in your original review of the X3 NFC that it has widevine L1 cert, so did Xiaomi downgrade it with a software update?
Hi, I be using the Poco X3 pro for 3 months I find the software problems till now the remote control for Air con NO display and GPS different by 100 meter from the exact location🤔
Totally agree with you, I don't really consider the f3 for me due to the lack of jack (everyday I consume a lot of audio with my wired earphones) I consider as an option the realme gt neo (when launched globally) and even the a52 5g, but not the f3 only for that
Bought the X3 Pro over the F3 because it's better suiting my needs, not because it's cheaper, 3.5mm with great audio quality, expansion slot, great IPS display even though it's not amoled, and 5G is not my priority.

Can you bring back the blind camera tests? Absolutely love those especially the iPhone, Samsung and xiaomi one.
If it wasn't for the IPS in X3 Pro, it's a no brainer for me. Hence, I'd still choose F3 among the three. I'd choose OLED all day vs. Refresh rate.
I bought the X3 NFC as an early bird but found it to bulky for my liking. When the F3 came out I bought it instead and gave the X3 to my son.

As someone who had both you made the right choice Poco F3 is the far better phone. Much more powerful, better oled screen, much better haptics, slightly faster charging and better build quality. Cameras are only marginally worse than the Redmi Note 10 Pro but still decent for the money.
What app did you use for seeing the battery health and charging time?
Thank you for this review :)
Still one of the best reviewers out there ..keep up the good work bro
I bought F3. Its best out of 3 and best buy phone under 400eur (370 here in Croatia). Everything but the cam is on flagship level. And camera is better with new update. With gcam its really good, not 2021 flagship level but good enough. Mcg Gcam brings 60fps at 4k also and more details in photos.
I still go for Poco F3, Good Looking phone and E4 Amoled Screen with SD870 is a very big deal 💯
didn't he say the F3 has snapdragon 732?
@@robertorodriguez2609 x3 nfc has sd 732, not f3
very nice technical but also understandable comparison, thank you very much
MIUI 12.5.2. is already rolling out for Poco F3. Apparently battery life is better, more optimisations, fixes for proximity sensor some ppl had (mine is ok), better sound quality from speakers etc..
Excellent review your the best 👍👍
I appreciate that!
Despite all the hints and warnings on the internet, I ordered the poco F3 and sent it back straight away. The one with the 1200 nits brightness and the 120 Hertz display is just an annoying mess. As we all know, after the phone was released, the display dimmed even with the slightest load, so extremely that you could hardly see any content. After the alleged update it got a little better, but e.g. outside in the sunshine it starts to dim immediately, instead of getting an additional boost for brightening, as it should be. Then there is the 120 Hertz, because the entire system shuts down, switching to 60 Hertz. And then, despite the phone cooling down, don't go back to 120 Hertz. To do this, you have to tap on the already set 120 Hertz again. And that about ten times a day. One can only hope that this problem will finally be fixed with further updates!
I’ve never experienced anything like this
His comparisons are way better than supersaf, bcz he have more scenories and ocean and more depth scenes.
Excellent, i'll be getting the x3pro. It got headphone jack, sd card slot, pretty snappy SD 860 and so much more..
very nice video updated comparison. does the battery improved after the miui update in the X3 pro ?
Marginal improvement to standby drain
@@Techtablets its a pity , i was hoping to improve a bit more. lets see if they , in the future, can push a little bit more the battery performance.
Thank you for this excellent excellent re-review comparison! Helps a lot in my decision making for which Poco to get. 👍 Will you be making a re-review for the Redmi Note 10G Vs Redmi Note 10S? 😁
Thanks a lot man! ❤️
Wow this is a great review.
Which app you used for battery life test and Charge times?
Nice review good sir, hope will get my unit soon for f3, still out of stock here in my area
Any new camera features with the 12.5?
Thanks for this
No problem
The only thing I don't like with the F3 is the AMOLED screen.
I've had so many Samsung phones before but they all ended up getting the infamous oled screen burn in less than a year so I'm officially done with this type of screen.
I also don't really like the weird white color on the AMOLED and its resolution (because of the pentile pixels) that seems to be less dense than the IPS (a 1080p IPS seems to be more dense in pixels than a QHD AMOLED display).
Superb showdown Chris🙂👍👍. It is really strange that the phone with the midrange chipset has the better Camera performance🤦♂️. I personally prioritize gaming performance more and battery life. So I prefer the F3 here, although it has the higher price tag. But it seems worth it, because of the sleeker design and it's lacking the billboard sign that's on the back of the other two.
Yeah, the F3's design is so much better, less bulky in hand.
Hey @TechTablets I wonder, in the battery life test, on the original review of the Poco X3 NFC it score over 15 h almost 16h and now it's a bit over of 10 h! What change? It seems a too drastic change on the results whereas the X3 Pro and F3 seems to be about the same results of their individual reviews on battery life. Always enjoying your videos, Cheers!
Firmware, Miui 12.5 has seen a huge drop in battery life for me. But it is much smoother now.
Perfectly synced for Amazon Prime day discounts on Xiaomi phones! Thanks!
Ill still stick with the poco x3 nfc, better battery life and camera's are amazing, the sd 732g chipset is fine, it can run most game's and the phone runs smooth and hardly over heats.
This has almost reached 30k
So what's your opinion, will you make comparison video between Poco F3 vs Realme GT
Or Any 870 device vs Poco F3 ?
Or maybe with Oneplus 8T/9R
Excellent review ❤️🔥
Glad you liked it
Great work I like the review 👍
hi, i really love your videos but i'd love to hear the name of camera sensor each phones' camera uses
for instance, x3 nfc's main camera is sony imx682
Great content as always.
I guess I won't touch MIUI 12.5 for now.
It will get better, just a few minor glitches and bugs at present.
That's interesting, my POCO X3 NFC has widevine L1 cert... You even show it in your original review of the X3 NFC that it has widevine L1 cert, so did Xiaomi downgrade it with a software update?
Must have no idea why it lost it with the update
By the way subscribed and thanks for.lovely.comparison. Mic on the X3 is much much better of the 3 imo.
Watching this with my Poco X3 Pro
Hi, I be using the Poco X3 pro for 3 months I find the software problems till now the remote control for Air con NO display and GPS different by 100 meter from the exact location🤔
Which one will you recommend for vlogging?
thank you very much that was very helpful
You're welcome!
Great Comparision Chris 👍❤😃✔
Regards from Central Europe from my channel ❤
Love your reviews!
Very useful review 👍👍
The one thing I wish he covered is responsiveness to touch. Is one more responsive and faster than the others?
Totally agree with you, I don't really consider the f3 for me due to the lack of jack (everyday I consume a lot of audio with my wired earphones)
I consider as an option the realme gt neo (when launched globally) and even the a52 5g, but not the f3 only for that
You know you can just buy a type c to 3.5 jack dongle from the store
@@solomonanene9477 yes, actually I know there is something called wireless headphones, but I don't want them
Hi
For pubg mobile which one i should buy ?
Poco x3 pro
Poco f3
Thanks
I wait for this comparison.
Bought the X3 Pro over the F3 because it's better suiting my needs, not because it's cheaper, 3.5mm with great audio quality, expansion slot, great IPS display even though it's not amoled, and 5G is not my priority.
Nice review!! F3 it's winner for me but I Stoke between f3 and mi 11 litle 5g I'm not sure with one it's better 🤷♂️🤷♂️
F3 is what I would get out of those two
Would you recommend upgrading from the Poco X3 NFC to the F3?
F3 is so good but dont buy since you just bought X3 NFC and it's enough. It's still your decision, if you are rich then buy F3
