I was using the F3 for 6 months and then gave it to my wife last november 2021. She is using it till now and has no problems at all. She actually likes it. So in short, the poco F3 is still holding up super good Ps, regarding my comment before of the green tinting on grey background, it is still there but you can just don't mind it as it does not cause any screen touch issue.
Here are my current thoughts. Hopefully it helps others making a decision. Overwhelming sounds! Gameplay on Mobile Legends exceed my expectations. Battery life? Totally fine.Depends on how we use it. over all. Happy and Good decision
For those who's getting widevine L3, just follow these steps Settings>Password and Security>Payments You'll find the widevine certificates. Just update them and restart your phone. Then reinstall the Netflix app.
Thank you Adam for an awesome revisit review of the Poco F3 in February 2022. I purchased the Poco F3 (8/256) in white last year (2021) after your recommendation review. I have been very fortunate in that I also have not experienced any problems since acquiring the Poco F3 in 2021 and would recommend the Poco F3 for purchase in 2022. I do have one issue with the Google Phone dialer software, namely the default Google Phone Dialer is unable to record calls, even though it has the Call Recording facility...it just does not want to Enable. Try as I might including taking guidance from TH-camrs and others; I just could not get the Google Phone to record calls which it is able to do. My resident country, South Africa has no legal restrictions on device call recordings. In closing....what was amazing and I noticed you also experienced it... battery life on screen improved significantly since first use. I also installed GCam (Nikita) which has improved finished photo quality to another level. The default camera is good, but the GCam takes photos from good to great photo level. Thanks for your candid reviews. 👍👍
Just decided to bought the POCO F3 yesterday from Lazada and glad that Adam made this video with the positive review! Even after almost 1 year, I still can't find a better value phone that fits my need, so I just changed my almost dead 3 years POCO F1, thanks for the review Adam! PS : I also go with the Arctic White as it look really good for white lover!!
@@someoneIikedyourcomment xiaomi will launch the china version poco f4 in late March, probably need to wait till April for the global version, unlucky my F1 dead last week :(
Probably it's not the case. A few people have this problem with yellow screen and looks like it's some configuration passed with the Google Account from previous devices. Apparently it's not possible turn off, needs wipe phone data and try again.
I recently broke mine in a freak accident and planned on getting something newer to replace it but there still didn't seem to be anything that beats it for the price. Xiaomi were selling the 8gb version for £209 on their site so was a no brainer, even if you miss that Amazon almost always have the 8gb for £250 nowadays. Ridiculously cheap for such a good phone.
@@AdamLoboTV is there any issue in miui like in Redmi note 10 pro. In that people's phone front camera is not working after update . So my question is do all phones based on miui have such issues? I am planning to buy POCO F4 , it will be really helpful 🙂 if u answer my question.

@@shifanMmed Hi,it's not a bug,it is just miui trying to save battery while viewing media content,you can solve it by going to setting/apps/ then find battery and performance,do not forget to press on show system apps then when you find it clear data but remember when you restart your smartphone it will revert back to 60hz but if you are rooted you can just delete battery and performance and you will get 120hz on all apps.
Just bought mine a week ago , overall its very excellent i did not encounter any problems although sometimes when using whatsapp camera it stutters never seen that before in any review ! Tq Adam for your videos and advice appreciate it😊🥺
The only 2 things I miss are the SD card expansion and the notification LED which I loved on my F1.. other than that it is a great phone and you'll get a big bang for your buck!!!
I got POCO F3 just 2 more weeks ago. After I compared it with Mi 11T, Mi 11T Pro, Mi 11(from China) and of course, the prices, I decided to accept the relative lower resolution camera with F3 and to get a HUGE price-performance-ratio。
just got some disappointed in the system software about the “Permission control", which is not with so many details like the chinese firmware, about "clipboard reading permission", " virtual OAID", "blank pass", "call recording" etc.
Hi bro, I do agree with you that for its price range and its features, the f3 is actually a good buy and I would love my phone to have a SD card extension and a 3.5mm jack 😎😎😎

Absolutely!!! Great specs for the price especially in gaming and media consumption. The battery life is decent 7 to 8 hours on media and 6 with gaming not bad at all. The F3 is still worth the buy in 2022 100%.🔥🔥🔥
Haha, I only just commented on another of your videos about the issue with Poco's updates and you uploaded a new one mentioning just that! Thanks for your videos, they're very informative!👍

hello....what about gcam support? helps f3 gamera for better results? i am between f3 and realme gt neo 2, which has better camera, but i like more the poco
I've had the Poco F3 since summer last year and it's still performing like a beast. The battery life got better but still isn't the best. It's usually good enough to get you through a day though. For the camera, the worst part is zooming. I've also had some proximity senor issues where it does randomly turn off. But it's nothing major
I got mine August of last year. Still good. My only gripe with it is that the battery is not enough. Also, still bitter that my Artic White order didn't arrive as Shopee lost the package. Re-ordered, but with the black in Lazada and it arrived fast. Never shopped in Shopee after that.
Thanks Adam! Planning to buy this Poco F3 and change my old phone (Oppo F3) after more than 4 yrs. Lol I'll wait a flash sale here in PH to acquire more vouchers and get it to lower price. XoXo

Just subscribed. I have been thinking to buy the f3 over blackshark 4. Finally, yesterday I got my f3 with your help. thank you! Dimming issue is still visible but is fine for me.
Ordered in 13 Feb 2022, got it for a good price at 1150aed (around 320usd). Died yesterday 2 December 2022, motherboard problem, the phone goes into bootloop whenever the CPU heats a bit, or turns off when pushing the CPU while using demanding apps. Note that the phone is stock, not modified in anyway, no flash nothing. This is the only phone that died on me from all the other phones I have owned, which are plenty, from premium to cheapos, and it got fried in less than a year! Even my Samsung Note II is still working fine! I used to say Poco f3 is good value, you can get 3 for the price of a premium phone, I take it back, the headache of loosing all your data during a wipe to get it to partially work again is not worth it.
Cool review man. it has persuaded me to buy an 8GB version of F3 for 165GBP (normally retails for 349GBP) in a sale on the MI site. It will be fun to do a gaming session here, in the mid summer we are lucky to see temps in excess of 20C (¬70f), so I don't think I will ever see any screen dimming.
Poco f3 is the phone designed for students or budget people who focus on performance, many students in china use k40(poco f3)and actually they don't really matter about photographing, It's a perfect phone for high school students like me
I agree, it is really budget friendly and suitable for students who like to play games on their phone or even for someone who want a decent phone for daily driver. The powerful chipset really does make a difference for daily usage like media consumption especially when you have the 120hz refresh rate screen it is just really smooth compared to a normal midrange phone out there. Edit: I forgot to mention that it has widevine L1 certificate and can play video on Netflix with HDR10 resolution which make it a real game changer for me personally.
@@AdamLoboTV Thank you so much, I will always be your fans, and thank you for suggestions a few months ago so I can order it immaturely before it stops on sale
Bought mines in March 2022 - absolutely love this phone. Moved over from an iPhone XS and have been using iPhone since the 6S and the only gripe I have is lack of MicroSD and OIS.
I've been using poco f3 for over a year..the screen has never been scratched ... no battery problems ... playing pubg and mlbb games is very steady ... hot issues may be felt in three to four hours with high graphics ... with affordable price..very satisfied...trust me
I trust ya! =^P BUT! I am still trying to comprehend which one to go for, in this eternal fight between Realme GT Neo 2, Poco F3 & Redmi K50 Gaming. They are very, very much good. I see that they are quite cheap, around $300 (€300)... So, I hope I am going to obtain one of 'em if not all of them but... This is a dream. The well payed job is the one that can calm myself down. Soon or then, I will get them. By the way, keep enjoying that goodie you have there.
I personally faced problems with the proximity sensor (nothing serious, as you have to hold the phone in a certain manner to make it work), and a serious problem with the GPS. The navigation on Poco F3 is basically unusable in dense cities. There is a solid 15-second lag between the physical movements and the corresponding movement on the Poco F3. Otherwise, it's an excellent phone. CODM all day, good battery, exceptional design, great camera quality with Gcam, and a good price.
Hey Adam i know it's kinda late but it's me Aizad and i wanna tell you that I'm going to buy Poco F3 at the end of this month due to your review. I definitely getting the 8gb 256gb variant as per said by you to "future proofing" it. I can tell that this is going to be my best purchased yet. so thank you Adam!
thanks for the video, I'm about to buy. I believe the yellow tint is on the screen. I had the problem on the Poco X3 NFC. Ten seconds after wake up it would go from a vivid screen to a really bad yellow tint. The only way to cure it would be to go into the Chrome browser and change a setting in 'flags'. Can't remember the exact url. sisterly it was a very common problem. searching TH-cam I can't find any complaints with this particular model.
wow,it's selling at such high price there(400USD $)?!!! it's selling here in Iran around 280USD $ for 128GB and 320USD $ for 256GB variant. even samsung a52s 5g has also dropped to around 300-350$ here which means.this poco f3 is competing against 11 lite ne,a52s 5g, mi 11 lite-i don't think realme gt master edition is really competitor to this device
My F3 arctic white will arrive on next monday. I prepared all my tools for ubl, root, etc. The price and snapdragon chipset is my main reason why i'm choosing this phone since other chipset are freakin hard to do a custom.
Hey Alex, it’s coming this week! Subscribe and make sure you hit the bell icon to get notified for the S22 Ultra review, I promise you will appreciate the video 🙂
Nice video, coincidentally I have my Poco F3 for 9 months too and the conclusions are almost the same. But I still think he needs at least a 5000mah battery, hope Poco F4 will come with that. Micro SD slot would be amazing, specially for my 6/128 variant, but looks like all the phones with a little more premium touch are abandon that. About the screen, adaptive refresh rate probably is the best option but I don't know if is really possible on the F3, which is possible for sure it's a software inclusion of 90hz option, for battery saving and smooth screen at same time. I have some issues with the Dark Mode, the last bug standing, the phone forces Dark Mode on the apps I don't want even after turned off on the individual apps settings. Not a big deal but happens. Well, I got mine for 250 USD aproximaly and I believe has no better option in this price range.
@@MexicanCheeseFries I'm from Brazil, but in the ocasion I used 2 cupom and a cashback discount to reach this price. The phone costs me R$ 1280,00 and the direct conversion on that time was 255 USD.
Watching this on my Poco F3 as recommended by you Mr Adam. Everything is great but to compare sound quality using haedphone/earphone, my old Huawei Mate 20 is better. And when I play Call of duty mobile Battle Royale when the place is crowded with enemies, the phone lag. Even with 120hz refresh rate. But overall is OK.
@@AdamLoboTV no problem Mr Adam. Your reviews are great. Poco F3 to me is a good phone. Thanks to you. The best price in Singapore when I bought was 390 but no arctic white. So sad. Got the silver one. Quite unique though.
Loving the review and Poco F3 is totally worth it in my eyes. Proximity sensor is still an issue. Btw, saw u got 12.5.7 but my unit still on 12.5.5. Weird though, 😅
A observation here. You probably have the Global variant MIXM, the last MIUI version for this one is 12.5.6 and some people still complain about proximity sensor. Probably this version will skip directly to MIUI 13 and the problem will be resolved. Other variants already has the problem solved like on this video. I have the Russian version RUXM and the bug is gone.
What a timing! Just placed an order for a 8/256gb model for 15,840 PHP (approx 316 USD)! I was holding back because the Poco x4 pro is around the corner but seeing the specs disappointed me and if this pattern continues, the poco F4 (not GT) may be the same.
whatever, I already bought it and it's worth a lot on my side, perfect for gaming, I choose deep ocean blue because I really want to spray the difference between K40s and poco f3s Than you so much for your suggestions, sir. it's a
Thanks a lott!!! You heloed me veryy much. I relly needed this video. Can you make a video based on POCO F3 BATTERY? Please i really need it. Good luck!
Just got the Poco F3 in 2022 april, its a freakin beast! all of our family have flagship phones like s22 ultra and iphone 13, and this phone is super fast! most of the times even faster than the competitors of the higher price!! this is the best phone you can buy right now !! the fingerprint sensor is superfast! i think its pretty much the same speed as the galaxy s22 ultra fingerprint on the screen itself, even the camera is good enough for everything you need!
Omg good thing I have watched this and you mentioned widevine L3 because it has been like this since I bought it. What I did is just reinstall Netflix and it got fixed. 😅
Got this for only $246 (converted from PhP), and I'm satisfied at all. Good screen, performance, speakers, battery life, charging speed, only downside for me is software updates haha takes too long 🙄🤣
@@Mama03514 its about 50$. Impossible mate. I got my F3 256gb black for 1000 PLN = 235-260$ (hard to tell how much because of sick exchange in Poland now) and I fell like I robed someone.
I love the F3, but I've got one major tip! Unlock, root, and install EliteRom MIUI to replace the stock rom. It's debloated, much smoother, better ram management, and a huge boost in battery life! I promise you will never go back😉
Actualy the refresh rate is adaptive, u can show the refresh rate in the developer options and the only issues I got are -in very bright sunlight the screen over saturates -the proximity sensor as mentioned in the vid for Info: Igot the 6GB Version
Oversaturation under sunlight is normal, and it's actually a feature, the device increases contrast so the not so bright areas of the screen become bright and visible, samsung has been doing it since the galaxy s5, i can confirm they do it till the 8 line wich i own. Doing so increases the overall amount of light the screen puts out without increasing maximum pixel brightness. Very usefull feature, but i try to avoid letting the phone run at max brightness to avoid burnin.
Hello! I really think you're underrated 😁. Your smiley expressions on review just amazing. I subscribed you😁 . I was thinking of buying it since i need a good performance and display. And in this price range i still can't find better than this. Maybe i'll buy it in 3 months if there’s no better option than this in this range.
Came for the crazy thumbnail picture lol. Sorry to nitpick but saying "until now" for an issue usually means that you never had an issue but very recently you have had the issue. I think the phrase you were looking for is "to this day" or even simply "even now" or "after X months I still have not had any issues"
Hello Mr. Adam After 7 months of using f3: Excellent processing speed High light screen and great color Good video quality Excellent sound recording during filming Excellent anti-shake when recording 4 k Excellent cooling rate after the game Software stability Super affordable price 💯
I'm planning to buy Poco F3 within next 30 days. I'm coming from iphone 6 that I've been using since Feb 2016. It's a great phone but latest iphones have become too expensive and I wanna go with android this time. I'm doing my final research before purchase by watching this video here.
got mine two weeks ago, my only concern is the random boot, i am observing if it will happen again after having this year's 1st security patch, but overall a great mobile
I prefer the xiaomi mi11 lite 5g non ne version, the colour fading must be the yellow variation. I love the F3 you have the white looks amazing. Love your vid👍👍❤️❤️. Bless you for the coming success. Ps I'm using the xiaomi mi11 lite 5g for pokemon go it last me about 8hrs too (10am-7pm). Non stop.
I was using the F3 for 6 months and then gave it to my wife last november 2021. She is using it till now and has no problems at all. She actually likes it.
So in short, the poco F3 is still holding up super good
Ps, regarding my comment before of the green tinting on grey background, it is still there but you can just don't mind it as it does not cause any screen touch issue.
Cool man! Glad all is good now 😀

Died yesterday 2 December 2022, motherboard problem, the phone goes into bootloop whenever the CPU heats a bit, or turns off when pushing the CPU while using demanding apps.
Note that the phone is stock, not modified in anyway, no flash nothing.
This is the only phone that died on me from all the other phones I have owned, which are plenty, from premium to cheapos, and it got fried in less than a year! Even my Samsung Note II is still working fine!
I used to say Poco f3 is good value, you can get 3 for the price of a premium phone, I take it back, the headache of loosing all your data during a wipe to get it to partially work again is not worth it.
Cool review man. it has persuaded me to buy an 8GB version of F3 for 165GBP (normally retails for 349GBP) in a sale on the MI site. It will be fun to do a gaming session here, in the mid summer we are lucky to see temps in excess of 20C (¬70f), so I don't think I will ever see any screen dimming.
Poco f3 is the phone designed for students or budget people who focus on performance,
many students in china use k40(poco f3)and actually they don't really matter about photographing,
It's a perfect phone for high school students like me
Thanks for your feedback bro
I agree, it is really budget friendly and suitable for students who like to play games on their phone or even for someone who want a decent phone for daily driver. The powerful chipset really does make a difference for daily usage like media consumption especially when you have the 120hz refresh rate screen it is just really smooth compared to a normal midrange phone out there.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it has widevine L1 certificate and can play video on Netflix with HDR10 resolution which make it a real game changer for me personally.
@@AdamLoboTV Thank you so much, I will always be your fans, and thank you for suggestions a few months ago so I can order it immaturely before it stops on sale
exactlly
@@zeroanime01 are you using poco f3 as well?
Bought mines in March 2022 - absolutely love this phone. Moved over from an iPhone XS and have been using iPhone since the 6S and the only gripe I have is lack of MicroSD and OIS.
Bro is there any issue in miui . Any lag or bugs
how is it so far?
I've been using poco f3 for over a year..the screen has never been scratched ... no battery problems ... playing pubg and mlbb games is very steady ... hot issues may be felt in three to four hours with high graphics ... with affordable price..very satisfied...trust me
I trust ya!
=^P
BUT! I am still trying to comprehend which one to go for, in this eternal fight between Realme GT Neo 2, Poco F3 & Redmi K50 Gaming. They are very, very much good. I see that they are quite cheap, around $300 (€300)... So, I hope I am going to obtain one of 'em if not all of them but... This is a dream. The well payed job is the one that can calm myself down. Soon or then, I will get them.
By the way, keep enjoying that goodie you have there.
How is SOT for your use?
I personally faced problems with the proximity sensor (nothing serious, as you have to hold the phone in a certain manner to make it work), and a serious problem with the GPS. The navigation on Poco F3 is basically unusable in dense cities. There is a solid 15-second lag between the physical movements and the corresponding movement on the Poco F3. Otherwise, it's an excellent phone. CODM all day, good battery, exceptional design, great camera quality with Gcam, and a good price.
Bro u play CODM right? Do you face any lag in battle royale when theres a lot of enemies around you?
@@badboybarrio21 bro I pay MP exclusively, so I can't say.

Amazing Video Production! Love the video, and that phone.
Thank you so much for this video. My mom will be getting this for me on my birthday. Im so excited
Hey Adam i know it's kinda late but it's me Aizad and i wanna tell you that I'm going to buy Poco F3 at the end of this month due to your review. I definitely getting the 8gb 256gb variant as per said by you to "future proofing" it. I can tell that this is going to be my best purchased yet. so thank you Adam!
thanks for the video, I'm about to buy. I believe the yellow tint is on the screen. I had the problem on the Poco X3 NFC. Ten seconds after wake up it would go from a vivid screen to a really bad yellow tint. The only way to cure it would be to go into the Chrome browser and change a setting in 'flags'. Can't remember the exact url. sisterly it was a very common problem. searching TH-cam I can't find any complaints with this particular model.
wow,it's selling at such high price there(400USD $)?!!!
it's selling here in Iran around 280USD $ for 128GB and 320USD $ for 256GB variant.
even samsung a52s 5g has also dropped to around 300-350$ here which means.this poco f3 is competing against 11 lite ne,a52s 5g, mi 11 lite-i don't think realme gt master edition is really competitor to this device
My F3 arctic white will arrive on next monday. I prepared all my tools for ubl, root, etc. The price and snapdragon chipset is my main reason why i'm choosing this phone since other chipset are freakin hard to do a custom.
Greetings from Brunei. I love your videos. Bila nak buat full review S22 Ultra? ❤
Hey Alex, it’s coming this week! Subscribe and make sure you hit the bell icon to get notified for the S22 Ultra review, I promise you will appreciate the video 🙂
Nice video, coincidentally I have my Poco F3 for 9 months too and the conclusions are almost the same. But I still think he needs at least a 5000mah battery, hope Poco F4 will come with that.
Micro SD slot would be amazing, specially for my 6/128 variant, but looks like all the phones with a little more premium touch are abandon that.
About the screen, adaptive refresh rate probably is the best option but I don't know if is really possible on the F3, which is possible for sure it's a software inclusion of 90hz option, for battery saving and smooth screen at same time.
I have some issues with the Dark Mode, the last bug standing, the phone forces Dark Mode on the apps I don't want even after turned off on the individual apps settings. Not a big deal but happens.
Well, I got mine for 250 USD aproximaly and I believe has no better option in this price range.
@@MexicanCheeseFries I'm from Brazil, but in the ocasion I used 2 cupom and a cashback discount to reach this price.
The phone costs me R$ 1280,00 and the direct conversion on that time was 255 USD.
Watching this on my Poco F3 as recommended by you Mr Adam. Everything is great but to compare sound quality using haedphone/earphone, my old Huawei Mate 20 is better. And when I play Call of duty mobile Battle Royale when the place is crowded with enemies, the phone lag. Even with 120hz refresh rate. But overall is OK.
Hey there, alright, thanks for your feedback my friend 🙂
@@AdamLoboTV no problem Mr Adam. Your reviews are great. Poco F3 to me is a good phone. Thanks to you. The best price in Singapore when I bought was 390 but no arctic white. So sad. Got the silver one. Quite unique though.

The price?
I saw so many reviews from you about pocof3... So soon i am going to buy soon.. I love it... What ever issues i will survive...
I really enjoyed this video😊
Love your accent man .. will meet you in Malaysia if possible .. great video..❤️❤️
I like the fact how he smiles at the end of every scene!
Bought mine on Dec. Everything is working just fine👌🏻
Hey Shawn, nice! Glad to hear that! 🙂
Loving the review and Poco F3 is totally worth it in my eyes. Proximity sensor is still an issue. Btw, saw u got 12.5.7 but my unit still on 12.5.5. Weird though, 😅
Same here, I think it depends on what ram model you have, Xiaomi might try configuring them differently, idk tbh I figure you have the 6gb variant?
@@LevanVaz 8gb ram though, just not sure on their updates policies 🤣
A observation here. You probably have the Global variant MIXM, the last MIUI version for this one is 12.5.6 and some people still complain about proximity sensor. Probably this version will skip directly to MIUI 13 and the problem will be resolved.
Other variants already has the problem solved like on this video. I have the Russian version RUXM and the bug is gone.
@@andresouza5751 thanks for the reply, I do hope it gets miui 13 n pray problems will disappear!
Mine is 12.5.6 Global and still have the proximity sensor issue. Why Adam is having 12.5.7? His is not Global version??
Picked up from Amazon for £249 last week. Love it! 🙌🏼
Amazing phone overall. i have the proximity sensor issue and i really really don't like poco launcher i Recommend to root and install MIUI launcher
What a timing! Just placed an order for a 8/256gb model for 15,840 PHP (approx 316 USD)! I was holding back because the Poco x4 pro is around the corner but seeing the specs disappointed me and if this pattern continues, the poco F4 (not GT) may be the same.
Good decision
Boss saan ka nakabili? 17k pa kasi ngayon yug 8/256gb eg
This is a good video, I'm looking at this phone as my first import. Xiaomi makes so many phones, though it's hard to decide
whatever, I already bought it and it's worth a lot on my side, perfect for gaming, I choose deep ocean blue because I really want to spray the difference between K40s and poco f3s

Nice!
@@AdamLoboTV I got it just because of your review ..you rock fella !!
Great vids! I totally agreed with u.. I'm so glad i bought this Poco F3. No problem at all. 😎
I love you videos and reactions aswell!!! Keep the good vibes ♥️
Just got the Poco F3 in 2022 april, its a freakin beast! all of our family have flagship phones like s22 ultra and iphone 13, and this phone is super fast! most of the times even faster than the competitors of the higher price!! this is the best phone you can buy right now !! the fingerprint sensor is superfast! i think its pretty much the same speed as the galaxy s22 ultra fingerprint on the screen itself, even the camera is good enough for everything you need!
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you so much
For me the phone is truly a
beast. No issues 6months
down the line. Even in 2022
the Mighty F3 is still in its prime.
Thanks for your feedback! 🙂

What Miui version are you currently at? Mine is 12.5.6 I feel like battery is worse than 12.5.5.
12.5.7
Omg good thing I have watched this and you mentioned widevine L3 because it has been like this since I bought it. What I did is just reinstall Netflix and it got fixed. 😅
Got this for only $246 (converted from PhP), and I'm satisfied at all. Good screen, performance, speakers, battery life, charging speed, only downside for me is software updates haha takes too long 🙄🤣
Hehe great point!
Got it for only 2,600 php since it's factory direct

You're welcome man 😀
Thank you very much, U answered all my questions.
I've been waiting for a review of poco f3 for 2022. Got mine 2 weeks ago.
Nice!
How is the SOT medium high usage??
Ya allah, jarang tengok orang review+comedy hahahaha. Mantap bang
I love the F3, but I've got one major tip! Unlock, root, and install EliteRom MIUI to replace the stock rom. It's debloated, much smoother, better ram management, and a huge boost in battery life! I promise you will never go back😉
How to do that
Thank you for making this Video! I love it and it help me so much!❤
Actualy the refresh rate is adaptive, u can show the refresh rate in the developer options
and the only issues I got are
-in very bright sunlight the screen over saturates
-the proximity sensor as mentioned in the vid
for Info: Igot the 6GB Version
Oversaturation under sunlight is normal, and it's actually a feature, the device increases contrast so the not so bright areas of the screen become bright and visible, samsung has been doing it since the galaxy s5, i can confirm they do it till the 8 line wich i own.
Doing so increases the overall amount of light the screen puts out without increasing maximum pixel brightness. Very usefull feature, but i try to avoid letting the phone run at max brightness to avoid burnin.
Watching from my old cracked oppo A3S from Kenya 😂😂 Planning to buy the Poco F3 in future
Hello! I really think you're underrated 😁. Your smiley expressions on review just amazing. I subscribed you😁 . I was thinking of buying it since i need a good performance and display. And in this price range i still can't find better than this. Maybe i'll buy it in 3 months if there’s no better option than this in this range.
Thanks for the kind words my friend and thank you for your feedback too 🙂
Came for the crazy thumbnail picture lol.
Sorry to nitpick but saying "until now" for an issue usually means that you never had an issue but very recently you have had the issue.
I think the phrase you were looking for is "to this day" or even simply "even now" or "after X months I still have not had any issues"
Good point, thanks for pointing it out man, my bad 🙂
bought mine last year September online for around 330 usd on a sale 8/256 variant. No problem whatsoever till now. Worth every penny...
Hello Mr. Adam
After 7 months of using f3: Excellent processing speed High light screen and great color Good video quality Excellent sound recording during filming Excellent anti-shake when recording 4 k Excellent cooling rate after the game Software stability Super affordable price 💯

How is the screen on time medium-high usage??
Hell yeah it is! I have the 6+128 version since I don't really store that much files on my phone since I have a NAS at home.
Good thing that you mentioned the sot. Would be nice to revisit the s20FE 5g as well.
I'm planning to buy Poco F3 within next 30 days. I'm coming from iphone 6 that I've been using since Feb 2016. It's a great phone but latest iphones have become too expensive and I wanna go with android this time. I'm doing my final research before purchase by watching this video here.
I recently bought poco f3 and it was a really a great phone for the price. Mark here form PH...
lol...Good job. I am starting to like the X12 Lite over the F3 for the Photos and video.
i got the 256/8gb F3 for $350
fantastic phone, definitely unbeatable in terms of value for money
Nice!
I got the same, new, black for 1000 PLN what is 235$ actually, wait a few days and it will be 200$ because of war impact on Poland.
