Is this better than the Poco F1 ?

Definitely...

It seems like reviews are saying the MIUI lag is a con because their adaptive refresh rate seems to be all over the place.

This seems to be an issue.

Hmm does poco come with dual apps function like miui?

 

[garychengjw]

Yes. it's still miui.

Feels stupid to ask this, but still need to understand.
This X3 in terms of speed, performance, benchmark, everything should be much better than F1???
Currently using the F1 64GB, feeling the pressure memory space not enough...

Not really, in some benchmarks, 845 in F1 still edges ahead of the 732G in the X3, so the real world performance of both should be on par, but the 120Hz refresh rate on the X3 display will definitely give the impression of a much smoother day to day usage I feel. When it comes to other specs like display and cameras, then I would think it's better than F1. Battery is quite a big larger than the F1 though which is great. 128GB X3 seems like a good price, especially the early bird price of $349.

Because i was trying to google online for antutu benchmark, i see some rated X3 lower than F1 lor, which got me curious. I am not exactly familiar with how it measures, so I wonder if X3 will be considered a considerable upgrade from F1...
I am actually quite satisfied with my current F1, only discontent regret is not getting 128GB. Stuck with 64GB low on memory space...

I am a little concerned about this myself. I do wonder if it is noticeable enough to my untrained eye to be irksome.

I just wished that there was a 8GB + 256GB version on the X3 NFC. The K30 and X2 had that variant.

X3 or f2 Pro better???

Overall poco f2. Unless u need the 120hz refresh , slightly bigger battery and budget constraint then x3 is the choice

 

[Shutterbox]

price wise, I'd pick X3 over F2Pro

it has all the practical features packed in a good price package.
pity it:
1) doesnt have dedicated microSD slot
2) phyiscally big,so not so easy for 1 hand ops.

Do you game a lot on your phone? I feel the performance between the 2 should be similar, so if you are used to F1 performance, then X3 shouldn't be too far off, buy it for the other upgrades in camera, display and battery I feel.

The pricing for 128 is good hence why need SD card slot? Becos a good and speedy 64gb SD card will cost you about the same amount of you upgrading from 64 to 128.

Yes agree on the size but the main thing this phone is targeting gamer (from the camera setup vs f series) so to them bigger is better trying to play pubg forte night and CoD mobile on a 5.8 inches phone you will see the pain

Was seriously considering this until I saw the dimensions. It's not for everyone, I think.

Personally find the S20+ at the edge of what I would consider an acceptably large phone that remains usable one handed (I use my phone one handed a lot).

Poco X3: 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4 mm, 215g
S20 Plus: 161.9 x 73.7 x 7.8 mm , 188g

Slap on the silicone case, and it could go up to 12mm thick and 78-79mm wide, Not an easy phone to use. Longer+thicker+heavier = more likely to drop. Many people feel the iPhone XR/11 is already quite thick to handle, and those are 8.3mm thick. The Poco X3 is 9.4mm thick, so it will definitely be noticeable.

Now I hesitate.

5.16k battery need some compromise. I'm using MiMax3 which is 176.15 x 87.40 x 7.99mm. Thick is better than wide, long doesn't matter much.

Can always get a back finger grip that doubles as a stand as well.

The free babyshark pro coolint gift cooling is used to cool the phone while playing games? What can it do actually? With the free gift, seems quite worth it.
