You are right. No SD slot. Maybe the redmni note series is ok for u? Those have 2 sim + sd card slot.

SD card is very slow compared to the phone's internal storage. My experience last time is that the SD card can mess with the phone's operations. This is one reason why manufacturer's nowadays opted to go without SD card. Also the SD card will take up valuable space in the phone.

Lol im actually reading everything from pg 1!
Cant wait to use a new phone, im still on oneplus5T fron 5 yrs ago lol.

Waiting for it to be picked up by logistics partner, i hope they have sorted out their earlier logistics issues that you guys faced at launch?

This casing comes with a free screenprotector. How is the SP ah? Good? Or should buy seperate one.

It will take about a week for the delivery from HK.

personally prefer nillkin frosted shield case.
very thin type plastic shell mainly to protect from scratches.
the only problem ive found is its super hard to remove to clean the phone..

a video about xiaomi charging.
tldw: stock cable support 33w, good usb A to C cables support 27w. random ones might not even support quick charge.
3rd party cables dont support 33w because xiaomi has an additional pin (look at the center of the supplied USB-A cable)

my testing with Ampere app, both show mi turbo charging:
baseus cable: 4180mah
xiaomi cable 4920mah

Xiaomi rapid charging uses 11V/3A to deliver 33W charging. This is uncommon with most chargers.

Using mobile powerbanks, can go up to 15/16W only. But good enough as rapid charging kills battery faster.

ya their turbo charging is proprietary. None of their own power banks support that standard.
qc3 18w honestly enough most of the time. i only use the 33w when i need to charge before/after play game

I tried the bundled fast charger to charge my father's POCO F3. The phone became too hot. To be cautious, I asked him to use his older slow charger for safety and prolong the battery life.

err... it can get hot if start charging from a low %, but the hot is acceptable. it is as hot as playing games like MLBB on this phone.

Ever since I updated my Poco F3 to V12.5.6, push notifications from my emails have been erratic, mostly delayed, especially Gmail. Anyone with the same experience? Before that, I was on V12.5.1.

Ordered on 3.3 and parcel still showing " parcel undergoing custom clearance" since 5.3

Anyone else same?

Hi anyone having problem with your Poco F3 where the TraceTogether doesn't work? as in I can't tap and check in. I've opened up the app, bluetooth is on as well but just can never tap on the Check-in device... always have to use the QR code method which is very annoying.

Also the latest firmware version seems to cause the device to random reboot phone

It works but must tap very very very near, for the terminal with green light. No problem if tapping those on phones or tablets.
