Option 2 of this poll is stupid. Are you asking me "do you want more for your money?". I kinda understand where they getting at, but word it properly

    It ships in one month, probably waiting when plane fly off. In local shop it would cost 50-100 more.

      Why would someone want 5g in a 220 $ phone?

        DragonNF, 20 Sep 2020some people like me prefer high refresh rate over better colors.That's why most serious PC gamers prefer to use TN LCD monitors which have worse color and contrast but better response times and refresh rates than IPS LCDs.

          DroidBoye, 20 Sep 2020This thing were being sold like pancakes here in SEA and we... moreow sh*t that's really bad news, this phone is still unvailable at authorized store of My country then all last stocks of this phone are going to India at 9/22

          so it will be extending it's late appearance and boosting the price big enough when it appears at My country

            THE-TRUTH-REVEALER, 20 Sep 2020I don't see anything extraordinary in this phone. ... moresome people like me prefer high refresh rate over better colors.

              i don't care at all if this device doesn't have 5G; for me it ticks all my tick boxes. anyway, at the moment it does seem like 5G is all great, but i think just like every other iteration of mobile data generation, as more and more people uses it the networks will be congested. i have seen it go that way with 3g, hspa, hspa+, lte, and lte-a. i was able to get my hands on a 5G device- the black shark 3, and i was getting speeds of around 100Mbps, and that was the same thing i got when both lte and lte-a were new.

              there's one thing that concerns me on the poco x3- the speaker vibration- it rattles the back panel quite so and i am just wary about this. it was the same thing with my razer phone 1 and 2 because they were using larger than usual speakers, and both phones suffered loosening of the connection to the display controller that's why both would freeze half of the screen. i just hope that the connectors for the display controllers are tight.

                Already ordered one as my third phone. I cant resist. But i think im going to sell it after at least a month of use. I just want to try 120hz LCD. Haha

                  THE-TRUTH-REVEALER, 20 Sep 2020I don't see anything extraordinary in this phone. ... moreWhich is completely OK it's not for everyone. On 2 conditions accepted =buying a midrange + don't need AMOLED it's a good option as was said here. Even if the phone's not perfect. (opinion of no owner)

                    THE-TRUTH-REVEALER, 20 Sep 2020I don't see anything extraordinary in this phone. ... moreme, i have tried to move away from amoleds since about 2 years ago. for my years of using the galaxy note series from samsung i have seen that amoleds have these 2 issues that have never been addressed and may never be addressed at all- mura effect and rapid decay of the blue pixel. i can live with the mura effect as i don't use my devices in very dark environments, but the issue with blue pixel is just unpassable. i am a part-time graphic artist and accuracy of color on screens i use is very important for me, and in my experience oleds can never deliver accurate colors overtime because of fast decay of the blue pixels compared to the other pixels. let's just say oleds can be championed for its blacks but properly calibrated and backlighted lcds will always have the true whites. the galaxy notes i have used (every single one from the first galaxy note to galaxy note 9) have started to have yellowish or greenish tint on its whites within 3 months from purchase. i also have tried to use an oled computer monitor one time for editing/displaying my digital drawings but, just the same as samsung's amoleds, whites are not accurate anymore after a few months.

                      I don't see anything extraordinary in this phone.

                      Personally, I would prefer a 60Hz AMOLED over 120Hz LCD any given day.

                        DroidBoye, 20 Sep 2020This thing were being sold like pancakes here in SEA and we... moreright. the seller i got it from is now selling the variant i got (6/128) from PHP11K to PHP33K!

                          Tbf Poco X3 is prob the best device at this price point right now. It's rather hard to beat.

                            If I had to buy a phone right now, this would be my go to phone. Outstanding features for an outstanding price.

                              This thing were being sold like pancakes here in SEA and were now out of stock or in stock but on a higher price from resellers.
