Pocophone F3

[KeYoKe]

iPhone 11 range is good, but not very battery efficient, this model.

But iOS is more secured. All my banking apps are on my iphone only.

Bingo. Same set up as u

 

[Hailgod]

Im not plat bro.

Can this phone still use youtube vanced? hah

need install using split apk. files should be on apkmirror
my vanced works.
those people with errors probably running version 14, now is version 17 already.

can't compare. last time i think chip shortage.. now is despite chip shortage it's lowest.

and don't bother about F4 Pro.. it will be Mediatek Dimensity. Probably the last SD for the F3

The latest high-end Dimensity chips 8100 and 9000 are comparable to SnapDragons' and exceed the latter in some aspects.

According to TSMC, the global chip shortage will ease in the 2nd half of this year. Chip orders are now cut due to lower than expected demand.

I think F4 Pro will come with a 9000 chip, given that F4 GT is already shipped with SD 8 Gen 1 chip.

Snapdragons are still favorite among ROM developers and that's a strong pull compared to Dimensity chips.

Having said that, some older models that runs on 855 is still worth for money these days. 870 is cool but nothing beats the 695 or 7xx series when it comes to battery life.

Not that X4 Pro or Note 11 Pro is bad but Poco F3's current price point after discount is cheaper. I had a hard time deciding to buy A52s or F3 for my dad but eventually settled for the F3 and luckily the subpar proximity sensor worked out for him.

At this price point, I may even buy an F3 for my mum too lol.

 

[progene]

Yup.. the F3 I just bought is for my mum. Hopefully she like it as she is a hardcore samsung fan.

it is not subpar proximity sensor. there is no such sensor... haha.

Funny thing is there are other phones with such implementation but it seems that F3's seem to be problematic for more people.

Thing is my Dad makes a lot of calls on a daily basis but so far no issues according to him.

I also have no issues when in calls. But I dun have a lot of calls though.

So dun let forums swing judgement. Usually only unhappy people will make noise. I try to balance this by sharing my experience.

This is really a good phone at a great price.

 

[xiaosen]

But at this pricing (330) i think is best value, can you find at this price range offer this kind of spec?

 

[destiny88]

just hoot yesterday at $330, hoping delivery wont be that slow, just using to tide over and see how f4 is.

I was skeptical when considering the A52s and F3 because the last thing I want is giving a phone that is problematic for older folks, turns out to be fine.

People who value better camera shots, memory card and audio jack may prefer another phone?

I have used gcam in older phones and the correct port really makes a difference in photo quality. As for the audio jack, either BT or use the usb c to headphone jack provided. The lack of memory card may be an issue for some but I don't keep much things on my phone so not an issue (same like my dad).

For $323/$329, it's about the best you can get for an SD870. For those who don't like MIUI, can always unlock bootloader and flash a ROM of you preference.

Not sure if price will go south further once F4 is released officially.

Camera is only letdown lol, but you cant have the both world unless you dont mind paying more.

 

[luei74]

Likely clearance for F4 and F4 Pro. Hopefully still have another round of offer before completely disappear like x3 Pro

 

[andyhtc]

So far my dad is happy with his POCO F3. Maybe it should be re-branded as parents' phone

I'm waiting for POCO F4 Pro's launch and review before making any decision to switch on 11.11 sale.

My Mate 20 Pro is still going very strong.

You want to return just because vanced is no more?

Then I can assume no phone will ever work for you anymore lol.

Real pro uses youtube-dl, no ads no buffering, no need internet after using to get the video you want.
