More than a good device along with its Mediatek Dimensity 700 chipset and the camera features.

    The broad LTE band support makes this an intriguing option for users in the US...the question is, do these new Xiaomi devices utilizing MediaTek Dimensity chipsets support VoLTE enablement? The #*#*86583*#*# trick on Xiaomi Snapdragon devices works, I wonder if it works the same way on these MediaTek phones.

      The name is RN 10 Ultra ... it's not difficult !

        AnonD-1000793, 24 May 2021I have the Poco F3 too (now as a secondary phone only) and ... moreAs I said I have used both. I couldn't see any difference whatsoever and I don't see any green tint on mine at all to be honest. This is information i found myself online about the screen:

        "If you're wondering, the E4 AMOLED is Samsung's next-generation screen technology that promises greater brightness, contrast, and colour fidelity, along with greater energy efficiency. You'll find the same E4 display on the more premium Xiaomi Mi 11, which is also on sale now. We're separately looking at where to buy the Mi 11 here."

        This is Samsung's own cutting edge display technology. God knows what they're doing selling it to a competitor but they are. The screen is considered amongst the very best on the market.

          Anonymous, 24 May 2021BS... Redmi was announced as independent brand long before ... moreRedmi is not at all independent. It's a sub brand of Xiaomi much like honor used to be a sub brand of Huawei. Poco is entirely independent of Xiaomi now. Redmi is not. It's a sub brand of Xiaomi and a very profitable one at that. It was initially a product line of Xiaomi and in 2019 became a sub brand but it's Xiaomi that owns redmi. Same situation as with bbk that owns realme, Vivo, oppo and OnePlus.

What happened out of it? Clearly nothing, except bombarding the market with plethora of useless variations of the same phone. Poco is even worse than Redmi. They have 1 or 2 models that are not rebranded redmi phone with a launcher that is 99% like Miui launcher.

                        sq2013, 24 May 2021I have the Poco F3 now and I can definitely see a big diffe... moreI have the Poco F3 too (now as a secondary phone only) and I have some problems with the display (green tint). Also I think the color calibration is totally of, out of the box (even if I try to choose different color options). Of course, you can play with it in the settings (Poco gives you this possibility). But, it shouldn't be like that.

                        For example, I just bought a newly S21 (because I had the opportunity to have it at a nice price). The difference is definitely noticeable in quality and just in day to day usage (watching videos or movies looks better on S21 than on Poco F3). Even though, both displays are high quality Oled displays, on paper.

                        Bottom line, the display of the Poco F3 is not a bad one necessarily, but certainly not a top Oled display (even though on paper it looks like that).
                        Maybe I was just unlucky with this unit. I will see that after they release MiUi 12.5 for Poco F3 globally. If something will improve.
                        True also, that if I compare it with budget phones with LCD displays (something like the Poco X3 NFC or Realme 6), Poco F3 display is better.

                          Jason, 24 May 2021I'd prefer a good IPS over a bad Amoled any day. Bette... moreI have the Poco F3 now and I can definitely see a big difference between the screen and that of my Xiaomi mi 10T lite 5G but the downside is durability. IPS is definitely far more durable. I know that the amoled screen will not last as long. It simply can't because of the way pixels are activated with individual mini leds unlike one giant backlight on IPS.

                            Is an independent brand that separated from Xiaomi.
                            Of course, they still use a skin resembling MiUi (for Poco or something), because it was to quick to made something of their own. But in the future, I am expecting more and more differences between this two brands.
                            And for me that's a good thing. I wish Redmi will separate too. And all 3 will do things differently (at least at the software level).

                                  This is the worst model of all of the note 10 series. If we leave out Pro version then Note 10S is the best option of them 3. 5G is useless especially on low end phone. What you need the 5G speed for on budget phone ? Never mind that you need a contract for 5G and then you probably dont have much areas where you have this 5G and well 5G is on baby steps at the moment also so there is nothing made for it yet to make sense to have it or the need to have it. But then again most of the Note 10 series this year is a weird segment of Xiaomi phones that are in a weird price point. Poco X3 Pro 6GB 128GB version cost 240 euro in my country. Poco F3 also cost exactly the same as the Note 10 Pro. While Note 10 Pro only good features are it's cameras as rest of it is like Poco X3 that also have that SD732 but no Amoled screen but cost 160 euro. That Poco X3 is still better option to go with then the 3 note 10 series as note 10, 10 5G and 10S as they all cost more.

                                    Is funny how this 5G phones appear inferior to their 4G counterparts. And I saw this trend in Realme too.
                                    Is like companies are saying "If you want 5G, you need to accept this compromises". Lol.
                                    5G is not that important nowadays. The speeds are more like 4G+ in many areas.
                                    Imo, is better to buy the 4G variants for now.

                                      I'd prefer a good IPS over a bad Amoled any day. Better sharpness. Having deep blacks is pointless if your screen looks dull.
