Xiaomi once again amazes us with its Poco sub-brand and this time it has done so with a worthy successor to the popular Poco F1, since with this Poco F3 it once again marks the path of the best quality / price mobile of the moment. Without doubt, this terminal is one of the most complete that we can find in its price range with many characteristics of the top of the range at a mid-range price. Its tremendous processor Snapdragon 870 that together with its storage UFS 3.1 and its LPDDR5 memory allows you to run any game, no matter how demanding it may be, without any problem. Its Amoled screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch response and 1300 nits brightness peaks will delight the most gamers. It is also accompanied by stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos of tremendous quality that achieve impressive surround sound for a mobile in this price range. Its camera is not far behind, it is very capable of succeeding in any lighting circumstance where its 3 sensors fully comply, maybe we miss a fourth sensor with zoom. Its 4520mAh battery with 33W fast charge is more than enough to get through the most demanding day without losing your hair. Without a doubt we are facing a best seller of the year 2021, possibly the best quality / price mobile of the moment.

- Доступный, сильный, мощный по сей день, автономный смартфон.
Проходил с телефоном более 3х лет. Отличный аппарат, который даст фору многим. А если сможете его обновить на современное ПО, то прослужит еще долго.
Pros- Стильный дизайн
- Мощный процессор
- Долгая автономность
- Доступная цена (в 2025-2026 годах, около 50-80$)
Cons- Троттлинг процессора (решается установкой куллера)
- Устаревает ПО
