Andreidinutu, 30 Mar 2021A72 overpriced? Seriously? Think only about it being a sams... moreTop of the Line UI? Samsung? Even Stock Android is better to look at. Even the OxygenOS of OnePlus or ColorOS looks way cleaner and better than Samsungs UI infested Design-Hell.

    MichaelD, 30 Mar 2021The camera will be excellent??? WTF? Are you serious? It ha... moreread that part of the line again, he said if u sideloaded Gcam the camera would be excellent

      MichaelD, 30 Mar 2021The camera will be excellent??? WTF? Are you serious? It ha... moreYou know that Pixel 5 uses IMX363 which is inferior to IMX582, you are crazy if you think that it is at least not a good camera, this is a $ 300 mobile with SD 870, UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5

      What else do you want ?, IMX800 with DDR6, SFS 1.0, SD 888+, LTPO 1Hz-360Hz for $ 250?

        When is this launching here in India?

          MichaelD, 30 Mar 2021The camera will be excellent??? WTF? Are you serious? It ha... moreYes it will be. IMX 582 is a great sensor. People need to stop comparing sensors because majority of them are bad with differences in image results can be attributed to better post processing. AI is changing that and we have reach a point where daytime photos are similar in mid to top tier phones and the only difference is nighttime performance. POCO F3 has good to excellent cameras.

          GCam will make this phone camera from good to great in most scenarios. Sure it doesn't have fancy top tier sub sensors but only a few people use such niche.

          As long as the main camera is good, the camera of the phone should be considered good.

          We have reach the point that if phone users review DSLRs, everyone of them will point out the set up being average because it only has one sensor and doesn't have macro, zoom and telephoto sub sensors.

          In short, the POCO F3 has a good main camera that has potential to compete with the very best. It has average sub sensors but these are insignificant since the phone is not aimed at wannabe photographers who think their phone cameras can actually compete with a cheap DSLR.

                    Meh. I'll hold on to my Mi9T thank you very much.
                    This doesn't have that annoying punch hole & i need my headphone jack.
                    Also wondering about the battery size, probably fine but
                    but 5000mah would've been awesome

                      You look like a newbie base on your comment. Haha

                          You must only had some crappy phones if you think that IMX582 can be excellent.

                            chris1998, 29 Mar 2021Name a phone apart from pixel that has a good stock camera appI'm not talking about camera app, I meant that Poco F3 have bad camera(as camera sensor).

                              Anonymous, 29 Mar 2021Wondering about the bluettoth in GSMarena spec no AptX HD ... moreXiaomi has been allowing it to use and switch to other codecs, on phones with processors after 855

                                MichaelD, 29 Mar 2021Nice phone + bad camera = bad phone. That is the case with ... moreSure, because you're not buying a phone, it's a camera, how could I not think of it?

                                Using your logic inversely we can say that: bad camera and lens + good processor = good camera

Anyway nobody said that the camera was bad. There's better granted but it's not useless. I think you probably vhec out some of the side by side comparison videos on YouTube. A Sony imx582 sensor is not going to be terrible. When people sideload gcam, like with the poco f1, the camera will be excellent. There's this myth that if a phone doesn't have OIS on it's camera, it's trash. It's not the case. The Samsung A72 and A52 are bad phones. Ridiculously overpriced and massively underpowered. This is a top phone at a crazy price with an average to good camera but for many people, the camera is rarely even used. I might take 30 photos a year.

                                      beep bop boop, 29 Mar 2021why is everyone so concerned about its frame?physical integrity aka what happens if you place it in your back pocket for some reason and sit down on it.
