Pocophone F3

[Armourdillo]

1. Is there any consensus on the bug fixes/major issues since launch? Or any major problems? Have not followed MIUI for awhile as I switch to Samsung for a while but planning to purchase a moonlight silver/white F3 on 12/12. (read abit that proximity sensor is bad)

2. Is there screen protector pre-applied? Is it good? Or better to get a replacement (TG or Hydrogen Gel?) asap?

Just going to stick with normal updates (first boot update 1 shot, then the rest just slowly see review before update), no root no custom rom etc.

i think the dimming issue was fixed? not too sure about that.
i still have a problem where my 90hz has colours calibrated differently from 60 and 120hz.
No one else has reported on this issue so it could just be my unit. edit: actually i googled and found other people with this issue. HWZ users not very perceptive i suppose.
on 12.5.4 theres also a bug that mobile legends always gets reloaded if u change app. if u are ml player best to stay on 12.5.3

FYI, Lazada no stock for moonlight silver & 8/256 for white. Can try Shopee.

I saw, cross my fingers flash sale will have stock appear, but if not black is also ok. Hopefully can join the Poco gang without too much software bugs.

If got lazada bonus I think Lazada always will be cheaper because can stack Lazada Bonus + Platform Voucher + Shop Voucher + CC Voucher, whereas shopee only got platform + CC voucher which always run out in 1 minute.

Custom rom can use banking apps, Singpass, TraceTogether etc? Can someone confirm? If custom rom, which one? Need special bypass ?

Does wifi roaming work with this phone? Wifi Connection wont drop when walking from room to room?

Lazada advertisement say $419, but I check it is selling at $429 though for 256gb

I thought this is the router settings? Like the mesh thing

Nope, under my developer options on my 11t pro have this thing. But my 9t pro doesnt. Now wanting to get f3 as spare phone, might want to sell away my 11t pro

They fake promo on lazada, when asked them via chat, first they give nonsense reason, then they the delete the promo picture, it was priced at $429 at midnight 00:00. Should report them for false advertising to lazada.

The price on shopee is correct $419.

Can get $347, but only $2 diff nia. Still worth. 11.11 best pricing was $351.

I think so long as the price is about 350 for the 8/256 GB variant is die die must buy.

This time round I bought X3 Pro for family member, $252, added some filler items become $247.50 for the extra $6 laz bonus. Then buy the cases & TGSP (trying out Smartdevil brand) also from Laz, got free shipping & some discounts.

I just ordered one unit. I wonder if this phone good for media consumption? Netflix or disney plus?

How is the sound quality?

 

[winningeleven]

Is poco f3 has IP53 rating? Saw it on the GSMarena page but didn't state in the offical xiaomi website. Quite interested due to the $347 price.

ya this kind of setting depends on router. usually need enterprise routers then have good roaming.
