POCO F3 reviews by real users POCO F3

Oh boy *cracks knuckles*. The performance of this phone is quite decent actually. With the Snapdragon 870 5G, I never really been bothered with lags when doing simple tasks and it is quite capable in running games although it struggles in demanding ones especially with Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. It performs well but it also heats up quite a bit even I have my AC on. After 20 minutes, the phone would thermal throttle and results in diminished performance. Fortunately, even though it's thermal throttling, the home screen doesn't lags. The camera is pretty bad, although I can get clear photos, my older Realme 6 shoots better photo than the F3 that is using GCam and the "best" configuration. Night shots are even worse and you can hardly distinguish small objects. The default camera app is only limited to 4k30 FPS videos but the camera is actually capable of shooting at 4k60 FPS video as GCam allows it and there is actual difference. This phone has a Gorilla Glass 5 which gives a quite decent protection and the back is made out of presumably the same glass but the frame is made out of plastic which means that it would be a scratch magnet as I have learned first hand. The display is a true 120Hz display but I had issues with it especially with the yellowish tint on gray, black crush issue, and oversaturated colors. It says that it supports HDR10+ but it doesn't look like it's true HDR (probably a wish.com version of it). I tell you I struggle watching scenes with minimal lighting with this even at the highest brightness. The battery is alright, 4520 mAh and a 33W charging which are both good in my book but the poor optimization of MIUI on this phone severely affects its battery life. I usually get less than a day of battery and that's with a lot of screen off time. The software is so bad, I had to relearn how to install custom ROM, firmware, and recovery just to make it operable in my standard. Out of the box, it came with a lot of bloatware.
