Hey all, I've posted here before to get some opinions if I should choose the POCO F3 or another phone if I'm going to upgrade from iPhone 6plus. I've never had a xiaomi phone, but I'm interested in the midrange budget phones of xiaomi that are gaining lots of positive reviews. So while I was looking for a POCO F3, someone recommended to check out the "Redmi K40 gaming edition", as I mentioned I am not xiaomi phone expert but the k40 looks similar to poco f3 however the k40 gaming edition is different. If you have the chance to choose between POCO F3 or Redmi K40 gaming edition, what would you go for? Taking in consideration the performance, ram, display, battery, software... Ofcorse I'm not getting it for gaming only but for general uses including gaming sometimes (I don't care about the camera) I'm focusing on what would give me a great gaming and general use features and would last for 3-4 years!! Thanks in advance for your opinions. https://9apps.ooo/
I honestly dont buy anything without a snapdragon processor
K40 gaming has side triggers, so, that would be fun while playing pubg or cod mobile but the lifetime of the triggers will probably be short
After buying the poco f3, i found out that the snapdragon processor can be overclocked and that most of the snapdragon 870 are locked while the snapdragon 865 are unlocked (865 overclocked gives higher performance than a 888)
When i bought the poco f3, i bought the 6gb version, i figured 6gb would be enough.
My Conclusion :-
I would look for a snapdragon 865 phone with 8gb ram or more

The OC device needs bigger battery, extra cooling system or stock a budget for replacing dead overheating device.

Want to buy this phone, please advice, which snapdragon to choose with, with the intention of modding?
Is any significant performance superiority of 652 over 650?
I think the 650 (Hydrogen) has the best support in terms of custom ROMs.
I've got a 650 Hydrogen and I think it's pretty snappy! No major lags or performance issues.
FYI, the Xiaomi Mi Max with the Snapdragon 650 is referred to as Hydrogen.
The Xiaomi Mi Max with the Snapdragon 652 is referred to as Helium.
Hopefully that will help with searching out custom ROMs
You can some comparison here

As I understand kernels are the same for hydrogen and helium?
Hello all,
Jason here,
Few days ago my redmi note 4 has died because of spoiled IC.
So I was wondering to get either Poco F3 or Samsung a52.
Do state the pros and cons of the selection
Usage
- Play game like brawl star, but quitting soon. as it is getting boring. After that not into gaming anymore
- Smooth display as I dont like the lagging when surfing the web or switching between apps
- Battery life must be good
- Storage must be good, as I have quite a number of apps wanting to download and test out.
- Camera should be decent ( If it is not , installing gcam should solve the problem i guess ) [Need some insight on this] ???
- Able to stand at least 3-4 years
- must support AR Core
Thank You.
Regards,
Jason
I'd suggest the POCO F3 because of the Snapdragon 870. Had the same question and I will go for the F3.
I'd suggest F3, too.
I'm not a gamer, but this phone will probably be a worthy successor of my current OnePlus One (and obviously of the Pocophone F1).
- Play game like brawl star, but quitting soon. as it is getting boring. After that not into gaming anymore (Poco f3, flagship range SoC)
- Smooth display as I dont like the lagging when surfing the web or switching between apps (Neck and neck, both have 120Hz with poco f3 having a brighter screen)
- Battery life must be good (neck and neck again, both have similiar sized batteries, but suspect the A52 would do better by 10-20%)
- Storage must be good, as I have quite a number of apps wanting to download and test out. (UFS 3.1 on Poco F3, Samsung didn't mention, so assume Poco F3 as winner)
- Camera should be decent ( If it is not , installing gcam should solve the problem i guess ) [Need some insight on this] ??? (Samsung is better, but the Poco stands near. GCAM is going to take awhile to be implemented for the Poco, as it's a pretty new SoC)
- Able to stand at least 3-4 years (no comments on this, can't guarantee build quality nowadays)
- must support AR Core (Samsung A52 confirmed support, no information on Poco yet)
check this short opinion from Dave2D
ahh okay, wish me luck to get the Poco F3 tonight, I missed out yesterday~
Stay tuned ~

Mine is just pre order though, too bad the Poco F3 dint restock
An overlooked aspect of F3 is the vibration motor. It is the more expensive motor used in Mi 10T Pro and Mi 11. Which offers great haptic feedback. Samsung use a cheaper motor in A52 and A72.
F3 is better than A52 without any question.

Ahh what is the use of the vibration motor ??
Btw is the 6GB + 128GB enough ??? For 3 - 4 years usage ??
As the 8gb + 256Gb out of stock
Well at my country Samsung S20 FE and Oneplus 8T costs almost like Pocophone F3...
I'm not sure what I should get, I'm not gaming much.
Assalam AlaykomHello Everybody
I id like to ask about F3 an d how is it compared to mi10t /10tpro
I have been confused between them
Thanks in advance
Spoiler
and I wanted to know how to add a poll
POCO F3 Vs MI10T
Basically. MI10T has SD 865, Better Camera and Battery. It also has a 144hz IPS LCD Screen. Something I am not really a fan of.
While POCO F3 is powered by SD 870. an E4 120hz AMOLED.
I'd go with Poco F3. I already bought one. it's on the way. Better performance with a cheaper price.

What I advise you is to wait for redmi 11 models. It seems like they will appear soon.
Among the three I prefer f3, no doubt!
owning a poco F3, I am really happy with it cuz I've got it for less than 400 euros for the 256 version, it is very smooth and pleasant to use but if you can get a mi10t pro for the same price the last one will be a better deal. Soc is more or less the same (a tad slower), but camera will be way better, a'd you won't have proximity sensor issue which is a pain in the ass and a big drawback on this phone. I don't understand how xiaomi can sell a phone on which this basic function is not reliable. also stock rom on poco F3 is loaded with bloatware.
Hi and thank you for taking the time to read this!
I'm in need of a new phone like ASAP My last phone was a xiaomi redmi 10s and I was happy with it but now that xiaomi redmi 11 is out I'm thinking of buying it, is there a better one for under 250€. I basically game on my phone all the time and listen to A LOT of music but main focus is gaming like emulators and stuff like that. So can anyone help me?
P.s I'm thinking of getting the 8gb version of the phone
yes! beside x3 pro these are the best for emulators, sound is decent, screen is excellent, just don't update MIUI to 13 version, keep MIUI 12 til 13.5 release.
I'd get a Mi 10T (Snapdragon 865)
Snapdragon 870 is not overclockable so 670MHz GPU is your max
Snapdragon 865 is overclockable so you can overclock to 900MHz GPU but you'd need to get a fan to sustain that high overclock while gaming.

How do you overclock? Why isn't SD 870 overclockable? It's slightly better than SD 865, no?

I use K40 gaming and if you don't care about NFC it will work only in China no Global then buy it. Also I set gidro geluim mate screen cover for smoother finger experience than glossy glass cover which can crack and dirty faster but cheaper. I highly recommend BUY: POCO X3 Pro 8/128,256 gb. From the first it is cheaper than any phone for now and the second the price K40 gaming 315$ POCO F3 400$ POCO X3 Pro 8/256 gb. 215$ Man think twice do you need gaming triggers for 315$ or 400$ F3? buy X3 Pro processor is the same, same battery, same ram/rom memory, same stereo speakers, great IPS LCD, me personally prefer amoled lcd for deep black only.
Choose POCO X3 Pro you won't regret.
I agree The Xiaomi so could gaming phones don't make sense A gaming smartphone needs better specs then normal phone not the other way around It's really frustrating Xiaomi brand does this kinda crap too gamers who just need ...Dinar Recaps
