For the price,

F3 really is the better choice and not much to feedback at this price point.

Low lights may need manual adjustments from the video review I posted a few days ago. The software has not been optimised for low-light.

 

[007Mi6]

Based on the review with iPhone 12 mini below, POCO F3's normal daylight is comparable but due to the small sensors and non-optimised software for low light, it loses out. Overall POCO F3's price to value is very hard to beat.

The software being non-optimised cannot be an excuse as this phone was launched in Mar 2021, which is 7 months ago.

If the standard of the phone is at this level for so long, it is this level and which is why Xiaomi can sell at $429 before any vouchers or bonus during the 11.11 sale.

Does this POCO F3 from the Shopee official store have the same local service centre (at Funan?) as other Xiaomi phones?

Shopee says my order is at a Hong Kong sorting centre today. I have also ordered a basic leather phone cover for around $5.70, which is already shipped from China. I hope to receive both in 2 weeks.

Do share on how it compares to the lg v50 after u get the poco

no prob, lg v50 is a good phone and just updated to android 11, but my screen is having a fine line and the finger sensor is failing on and off, so intend to change phone. I have the Poco x3 pro too, good phone too.

Get back to the person who sold you the phone and ask him to fix the issue.
