happy birthday!
F3 is... moreHappy birthday Poco F3!! 🎉🎉🎉
Time flies man. 😭😭
I use mine as a backup/media device now, but I don't think I'll ever bring myself to sell it. It's just too good!
Perfect balance between value and performance.

Tiramisu, 20 Mar 2024Same, the battery has significantly degraded.
What will yo... moreFor me i was considering sticking with it for another year and replacing the battery myself once the battery is so done so maybe keep it for 2 more years if not more. Since i'd rather keep using my tech until it breaks or becomes totally obsolete ( 1st that saves me money since i don't fancy new gadgets while the ones i own are still fine + Environmentaly speaking, that helps reduce E-waste).
My only concern is the security patches since i use banking apps and i feel like custom roms aren't safe either so maybe i ll be forced to update. But for the time being i am still holding myself.
A tip for you: try to buy a phone with a long software support (apple/samsung/google) that ll save you a lot of headache if you plan to keep your phone for long.

Samsung is always a safe bet. Especially, the A50 series it always offered a good balance between price and features one of the best cameras for the price and all the usual stuff regarding the other aslects of the phone.
+ You ll have a piece of mind with 5 years security updates and 4 major OS ones which are way ahead of what xiaomi or poco ll offer you in the midrange segment.

Definitely a great phone, and it ll be great for the next year or 2. Even tho the battery is starting to show its age.
