Who’s still rocking the POCO F3 in 2024? ✋
Me but with Galaxy M52 5g 🥳✊🏼
I am 😂
@@husainihamzah9597 nice!
Yes, excellent phone, and I doubt the F4 or F5 will be remembered in 3 years time. By the way the F3 will get Hyper OS, based on Android 13, it's expected this month or next.
Me
Im still using the f3 for almost 3 years now. Still a great phone to me.
Oh bagus!
And how is the battery bc i see that is very bad
it is bad @@IsdavielGarcia
@@IsdavielGarcia yes, battery is poor
@@IsdavielGarcia i used it so much, the battery still great, also 3 years
Yes it's still brilliant been using mine for almost 3 years!
Glad to hear that my friend 😄
Wow Adam. Really didn't expect you to still cover Poco F3 in 2024 lol
Hahah me too 😂
I bought poco f5 after watching your that comparison video bw f3 and f5 😅
And its a beast
My friend got a mi 11x AKA poco f3 and its been 2.5 years that phone doesn't feel laggy and that glass back in hand feel oh dawg i love that 🤗😅
Hehe glad to hear that brotherman 😃
Still rocking the Poco F3 no issues... Used the phone on rain for a significant amount of time and it's still pushing
That's amazing to hear my friend 😃
This phone is water resistant with a splash resistance rating, but it is definitely water resistant.
watching from my poco f3❤
Just got Hyperos and it made the phone feel new again .
Same here Hyper Os is so good
Saaame 🎉🎉🎉
Update, the speed boost was short lived it is back to normal again after about a few weeks of use . Probably a full reset will boost the performance again.
Still using POCO F3 for 3 years and it still rocks!
Until HyperOS arrived.
Got some heating issues and battery drain issues.
I am sure you already done this, try shutting off and turning back on or restarting using the volume down and power key . This fixed some issues and now it is super smooth. Also worth checking the battery options .
Thank you for reviewing this phone. This is why I cannot change or upgrade this phone because of how loved it is by the community. Great video sir.
You’re welcome Shane! 😃
Still using it. Launched as mi 11x in india. At that time no phone had such powerful processor for that price point.
Updated to HyperOS and it rocks! It's faster after 3 years!
Im using Poco F5 And Legendary F1 As A Secondary Poco F Series Doesn't Miss ✌️
Sir i really enjoyed n respect your experience.
Sorry about my English...😊
I wanna share my experience.
I got hyperos update just today even it shows February..
2.even m hard user it gives me mostly 6 + hours on repeatedly pubg
And 10+ normal use.
Camera amazing still
Heating issues yes but i understand how to control just need fan during playing pubg it never reach hear level
Ads issues only first day happened after i done setting. Never ever had in any system app.
For me after more then 2 years it still flagship
Thank you 😊
I bought it for $280, used it for 2 years and sold it again for $180. Probably the most value product I've ever used.
Planning on buying one around 190$. I am planning to use custom rom on it.
I just bought it used for around 100 euros, loving it so far!
i was shocked & surprised my POCO F3 (Already 3 years) still got TH-camr to do Good video review..... WOW so nice & your video helped me to save my time because Gcam is suck in this so i no need waste times to try it(Gcam) LOL hahaha.... You make my day Adam, thanks alot & appreciate
POCO F3 users since 2021 - Me & my Dear
Thank for your feedback and kind words my friend and enjoy your phone! 😃
I still love my Poco F3. Bought in Dec 2021. ❤ Still using it as my 2nd phone now. And there's no other phone that has the same really small size front cam.
I've got the F3 and still runs like new. In the UK we updated to HyperOS about 2 weeks ago.
I have this phone for 2 years now bought it in early 2022 for gaming and editing and iam a heavy user in early days this used to run almost any game maxed out and gave me 7hrs screen on time but currently the battery has degraded a lot this summer phone heats like crazy while charging i needa charge it twice when i uses it all day but cpu's performance hasn't dropped that much i dont play genshin but i do play switch games regularly
I have the top model 8+256GB poco f3 and besides a few minor software glitches like with the gallery draining battery (I use Piktures now), it's been GREAT. It still looks sexy, is super smooth, can play Alien Isolation at high settings, doesn't heat THAT much. I changed the battery twice, I know it inside and out and it's a great machine. For the low prices we can find it today, it's a great deal. Some people say that the cameras are meh, I disagree, if you're just an occasional shooter, and if you're aware of the limitations and how to properly utilize it, you can get very satisfactory pics!
where did you buy the battery? i want to purchase one online
i’ve just Recently bought my redmi k40 with global(poco) rom on it at lazada. It’s the same phone as poco f3 and i’m enjoying it. It’s adaptive color feature is great because newer poco devices doesn’t have it.
I've Been using the F3 for years now and now and from what i experience. the ultrawide and macro is not good and the main camera struggles in low light condition but performs well on daylight.
from gaming when playing genshin impact it gets very hot when doing spiral abyss usually 44 to 48 but for explorations it's ok.
watching movies or series is a great experience especially when there are times that i dont use headset and 2 speakers give an immersive that give a compact surround sound experience.
Your Wrong ! Hyper Os is coming to the Poco F3 with Android 13 Check Xoami List of Hyper Os on older devices, My Poco F3 never heats up when not playing games there is normal heat up as with all phones.
Okie BOSS, you are always RIGHT and your Poco F3 is the best in the world 🙂
@@AdamLoboTV No ! i didnt say that , you did , just Stating The Facts , or maybe your Poco F3 is got some Thermal Problem .
@@anglopakistanicustom rom
@@AdamLoboTV you should review it installing custom os
Same to
Thanks for the great video, i was about to return in MIUI after 1 year of using Custom Roms (EvOX, LOS) i guess ill stick to custom rom
@RavenDaveAtienza you're welcome buddy 😃
I was just started using this year and what i've seen is very superb especially one camera and software using gcam. The gcam, i was using config file to make perfect phone for poco f3 even stabilization in 60 FPS and also the picture.
Yes still rocking the Poco F3. Using custom rom CrDroid on Android 14, Leica cam included
Nice! Glad to hear that
It was fine, but after updating to HyperOS, my F3 keeps crashing, boot loop then now its dead.
Wow didn't expect that you'll be doing a video for POCO F3 in 2024, anyways I'm still using my POCO F3 until now the only thing that i have a little problem with it is the camera performance for me the contrast is too high so i use Gcam and Pixel Config to make my photos looks good. And the battery well it's normal to degrade the battery but yeah i replaced it on February 2024 with a new one and original and guess what my battery is back to normal which is i can use up to 10-13hours screen on time with normal usage, Scrolling social media, slight gaming, Listening music. About the software it's sad that it wont receive android 14 update but if you have a knowledge about Unlocking the bootloader, Installing custom rom you wont having a problem with updates, cause now I'm running on PixelOS Android 14 and it's so stable and good for daily drive 🥰 so yeah i still love my POCO F3 performance still a beast 🔥 POCO F3 + Custom ROM is on another level, Pure stock android= you'll see the full potential of the F3
Hey! Do u get a good battery life with pixelOS? In my case it was awful
@@TheAsdDsaQwerty battery life is good for me, I use NoKernel
Where can I find this Gcam app?
Today I got hyper os update.
Using poco F3 for three years now. It's very fast and comfortable to use.
I'm thinking on upgrading but still can't decide which phone to go with.
Do you think that the hyper os update slows down the phone cause alot of people say that on Xiaomi and iPhone
@@alex-gg5yr no. Now that I've used it for a while I can confidently say it's a good update. Not much changes.
Battery drain fast 😞
@@abiyou764 as I thought, won't download that piece of shit
Still rocking the F3 up to this date. I love this device. Rock solid and doesn't want to die (except for the battery). Been droped several times, plunge into water, using while taking a bath, boy this thing is like a swiss knife. And just now I receive the HyperOS update (which i will never do). Nothing can beat this device. the price to performance ratio is astonishing!
I'm still using it. It's a great phone❤
I love Poco F3. In fact, I have 2 of them. People gushes on its picture and video quality. They thought I was using a gimbal.
should I upgrade f3 to HyperOs?
Yes
F3 User here, worst part about the Phone is the virtual proximity sensor for sure, and right after that the camera. Everything else is solid after two years of use.
From where can I buy this ?
The good news that HyperOS support POCO F3 and indeed update released to Chines Rom Mi Pilot testers .
got my pocof3 in the start of 2022,changed it in January, my battery was glitching and dying randomly, I loved the storage tho. Typing this on pocof3 cuz I had to use it for something, definitely not holding up the best but for someone that uses their phone less than me I'd say it's probably holding up good
I bought tF3 on 31st August 2021 after watching all your reviews. I think its still the best phone.
still using my Poco F3... and trust me it still is a beast... Yeah battery backup isn't great now but still getting 5/5:30hr SOT .... performance is still lag free ..smooth.... Display still is rock solid🔥
The downside is the Camera. You can feel that this phone has aged a bit.
And the stereo speakers are just MEH.
Other than this.. everything is perfect 🔥
Damn! Glad that your battery life is doing way better than mine man! 😀
@@AdamLoboTV Yeah man... I'm a moderate user... but the camera quality is below average right now. Also the stereo speaker feels kinda mid now because my mom uses Samsung Galaxy A54 .. and the speaker quality of that 🔥 damn good. Also F3 heats up quite a lot.. But SD 870 .. hands down the best till this date!
@@beastasif Nice! Thanks for your feedback buddy 😃
Hey adam, thankyou for the video! I have used the poco f3 numerous times in the last year s someone i know owns one and it is still a great phone. The charger issue has affected him a couple of times and it is annoying as hell but it all seems to work fine for a midrange phone thats 3 years old.
Hey brotherman, welcome back, yeap! the charger issues gets me panicked all the time too, because i am so afraid that the phone dies! 😂😅
Will there be a dedicated Xiaomi 14 review on the horizon?
Soon! 😃
@@AdamLoboTV Can't wait for that, thanks Adam 😁
I just got one from my uncle after he upgraded his phone. It still looks brand new, so I enjoyed my experience. 120 hz, high performance, its great.
P.S. The holes on the top of the phone are speakers.
Dear Adam I bought poco f3 watching your videos and I'm using it is flawless and you are the best youtuber in tech in my opinion. You deserve a millions subscribers. May ALLAH bless you. Love from 🇵🇰
Bro where can I buy this ? In Pakistan
Correction for 5:25, HyperOS for POCO F3 just came out on Global today (for limited regions for now), and will gonna come out to other regions as well sometime in this month or maybe next or so, though it's still android 13, not android 14 like the other HyperOS Xiaomi phones out there.
I still have my Poco f3 n I m using also Xiaomi 13t but I love to enjoy more with Poco f3, superb phone till now. Snapdragon 870 still Rocks n day to day usage is still like yum yum. Battery n charging is very relaxing,no fear of decreasing battery percentage like uncle apple do. Display is awesome. Each n everything is just like excellent. Love it❤
Im planning to upgrade from poco f3 to xiaomi 13T. is it worth it?
Yeah best to keep the camera design minimal with lesser "screaming" of the brand 😅
Yeah! totally agree man!
Still use this F3..and for me still the best...got the white colour...and still loving it.. and just got HyperOs update today 😊
how is it after the update to hyperos?
@@honeystars9595for first week its seem like battery kinda drain faster than before.. but right now it back to normal..not so much different from the experience using miui 14..
My Mi 9T is still working well 😊 the all screen is a pleasure to look at, the 60hz is just not cutting it for me anymore 😅 I use it as my navigation while driving, I now have a very modern all screen gps 😂
Please compare with Mi11t and S20 Fe, I'm confused about choosing these three phones
hyper os is coming for f3 with android 13. Hyper os for china version K40 is already released for Mi pilot testers. It will come for f3 in may. So we have a chance to experience hyper os.
uuu~ I'm still using my POCO F2 Pro from 2020 until mid-March this year just because it's power button went kaput. although I'm switching to Xperia 5V now. I'm still using the F2 Pro as 2nd phone. who would though the phone from 2020 will be that good back then with 5G network, 8k Video capture, liquid cooling, class back panels & the classic pop-up selfie cam 😂 . anyway, my daughter is using the POCO F3. 😊
I just sold mine 3 months ago. One hundred percent still working. Sold around 130 bucks.
HyperOS is available for POCO F3. I'm using it it! It's still using android 13, with updated security
I watched this vidéo with my poco F3. It's still a good, versatile smartphone. For the price i brougth it, the F3 seems to have a better finish and presentation than later version F4, F5, ...,F6. My main complaint is it small battery < 5000mah... But
I had a Poco F3 and i absolutely loved it... it was one of the best phones i had used but one day while i was using it, it died even tho it had 80% charging. It never turned on again. I took it to Mi service center and they told me they'll have to change the motherboard and it would be more worth it to buy a new phone instead cuz i'll lose all my data 🤦♂
My f3 after 3 years of my hardcore use started bootlooping last week. In the repair shop it took 10 usd to fix the motherboard and i got a new battery for 15 usd and after the fixes its running smoothly as before
Bro from where I buy it
What about battery drain from 100 - 0 on gaming does it give 6-7 hrs on gaming ? Games like free fire or pubg
Ignore the bad sides, they're not noticable the camera is decent and nice if you're buying this phone for gaming, regular use do it its super fast and has 90 fps on codm
i have the 256gb model i highly recommend
Hyper OS dropped on F3! Beast! 🔥
Left poco about 2 months ago and exchanged for a Oneplus 9 12/256 with box yeah it's a lot better but i regret playing games on that phone if you never play games on that i can assure you that phone is just some other level phone especially speaker and battery is far better than my oneplus if compared with both of them at brand new condition will not miss it but a great phone and the only phone i brought by selling another phone and the only phone i brought with my own money
🚀
😃🤘
im still using it and still rockssssssss
HyperOS did bring something new, but also has bugs...it restarts whenever some apps are opened.
Bus still Poco f3 still rocks🔥🔥🔥
I hate it's camera but it's me 3rd time buy this phone due to its build quality display and performance
It a good phone but my friend had stolen it and they refuse to admit it😢, I miss the phone
my shi is still running buttery smooth and charges HELLA FAST unlike these mainstream "flagship" phones lol
watching now using poco f3 -JULY 2, 2024 still the beast - CODM, WARZONE, MOBILE LEGENDS my Favorite games only 90fps even touch sampling rate fuck this good i tell you the truth til now im not updating my phone to hyper os 👊
How long does the battery last in gaming?
Poco f3 hyperos is updated to mine
However, HyperOs has appeared for this phone.
Poco F series are future proof phones. Proven and tested 🔥
i'm sure there is Gcam ports for F3 with properly working EIS in video. Even my RN 10 Pro supports EIS in 4k while stock don't..
Look for it and share it with everyone here then :)
No any heating issues bro
Its working very cool..
Poco f3 is my daily driver and poco f5 pro for streaming mobile legends
Me still rocking the F1 2019 flagship:
I’m moving to F3 soon after I’m done saving up
I still use my F3...but can you insert an SD card to improve storage?
One thing i noticed about the F3 is that the punch hole is the front facing camera is being expanded by software. When I'm in video calls using messenger and i minimize messenger there is a white vignette caused by the brightness of the screen and you can visibly see the difference of the hole punch size.
Do you have a glass screen protector installed ? This causes the same issue for me . However with a film protector no such issue
Great Video, thank you! 😊
Do you think it is better to upgrade to a Dimensity 8200 Ultimate phone like the Infinix GT 20 Pro and Tecno Camon 30 Pro from Poco F3?
I have Poco F3 still great smartphone.
What Gcam version do you use? I've used between 8.1 up to 8.7 and 8.1 is the best in my opinion.
Can you give the link sir thanks
I just got hyper os 😱
Dropped mine countless of times. It still works smoothly even after 3 years! I'm really impressed. My next phone will still be from Xiaomi for sure.
what gcam do yo use can you post the link for it ?
Watching this using my F3, still a beast overall!
Same here🔥🔥
Hy bro...please help me figure out an isuue. ⚠️
I am going to buy huwaie mate 50 pro....but it have glass on the back not leather....its EMUI version....
Tye video u made on mate 50 pro was on one with leather back...
So should i buy that mate 50 pro?
POCO F3 is one of the best android phone i have.. i never loyal to one brand but after 3 years i still love it..but currently there is problem about the volume is automatically goes down.. anyone have the same problem?
I've had my Poco F3 since 2022 and it's been working like a charm, but the new HyperOS update messed with my battery life so please keep that in mind! It's like Xiaomi is trying to push me out of my phone :(
How's the sot?
@@shoaibwahid9777 SOT? what's that bro?
@stygiann Screen On Time 😃
Im poco F3 user ❤❤
May i know what version of gcam you are using and are using any config?
After the hyper os update it became super hot at gaming battery drain at gaming
used poco f3 for 3 years too , but sadly only battery need replace its really to find poco battery in my country they said "just order online"
Best camera phone under $400 pleaseee
Can you review the POCO F3 after Hyper OS update. Im holding the update for now as Ive heard it has crippled the phone after update..
Please revisit Poco F5
Will try to buddy 😃
I want it too f5 revisit @@AdamLoboTV
My Poco f3's ram dead 5 months ago, after using it for 1 Year and 8 months have to replace the whole motherboard 😭and the flagship killer name and budget game phone dead with the Poco f3, The new killer game phone and performance for money will be Infinix gt 20 pro. With support 120fps in PUBG mobile
This is exactly what happened to me and most Poco F3 users, and if you are talking about a new motherboard, most of them are from non-working phones. I ditched the Poco phone and replaced it with a Samsung S21 Plus.
@@azizgn9862 I am think about Infinix gt 20 pro as the new killer game phone
I'm thinking of buying a poco f6 and selling it after a year and a half. It is difficult to find competitors to these phones
@@azizgn9862 for gaming?
Yes, like Genshin Impact and War Thunder Mobile
Still using poco f3. May 2024❤
I'm typing this comment on my Poco F3, even for the fact that I have other flagship devices, i still can't do without Poco F3 😂😂
This is by far the best Poco Phone ever, in terms of performance and the price.
Thanks Adam for checking on our lovely F3 😂
Personally this is the best poco design. Looks premium n minimal.
Yeah man! Why can't they stick to this 😃
@@AdamLoboTV right...? If it ain't broke don't fix it. Now all poco phones look like a midrange phone. Hmm
@@izzu_ agreed! Especially with the weird camera designs
@@AdamLoboTV facts brother fact...! The camera designs are the biggest reason poco looks cheap. + the weird 2 tone design. 😅
Writing this comment on my Poco F3. Using this for my business, my other phone for work is S22 Ultra.
my poco f3 got water after i stupidly using waterproof improperly to swim with the phone end up changing the screen to cheap tft so still considering should i change back to original since have money and screen have crack or should i save for a new phone?
Thanks for the nice video, could you please share with us the GCAM version and config file !!
