A prime example of typical internet person. Whine a lot and refuse any possible solutions unto a problem.

"How come there are drop tests if GG is not meant for dropping?" Oh you mean that if GG has drop tests, you can now drop a phone with GG anytime you want without consequences? Laughable at the very least.

      Back looks bad. Big logo and hideous camera arrangement. I like rest of the stuff

        This proves once and for all that poco uses cheap materials.

          so There's 60hz and 120hz. Hopefully Xiaomi will toss us a bone and enable 90hz refresh rate as the middle ground in the not so far future...

            It's funny costumers ganging up on consumers for a company that makes millions... All for telling the truth. How does a company brainwash people to defend them for free?
            I'm more interested in this, if anyone has answers.

              Thanks to a cheap Chinese GG. Don't need replies on on this. GG THREAD IS RESOLVED.

It's surprising that people who have no steak in the company would waste their time defending it. Also, how come you're willfully ignoring other problems this phone has? Heating, battery drain, lags, restarting, flickering, poor camera, unresponsive touch.
                I AM NOT ASKING FOR SOLUTIONS, I'M TELLING THE PROBLEMS THIS PHONE HAS TO A REVIEW WHICH SAYS ALL IS WELL WITH THIS DEVICE. IT ISN'T.
                STOP DEFENDING A CHEAT COMPANY. I am a consumer and will complain if I was given poor service. Thank me for sharing real-world experience of this device. . ITS TERRIBLE.
                P.S. How come there are drop tests if GG is not meant for dropping? YouTube if filled with them, look it up.

                  Anonymous, 26 Sep 2020This is not original GG5, this is some cheap Chinese GG wa... moreMoto X4 has very large top and bottom bezel to absorb impact. It doesn't matter if you have GG5 or Sapphire because glass is still glass and they're STILL vulnerable on their edges or corners upon impact. Bezels are natural impact dampeners, if you have a phone with more than 90% screen coverage and next to nothing bezels, then it's always easy to break them no matter which GG it has. You are comparing 2 phones with different bezel structures and expects both to have same impact resistance? And also, you're just telling us here that the phone doesn't have GG just to put the blame on the display. You're putting-up these claims to justify your own negligence keeping the blame away from yourself. I will reiterate again that no sane company that would cater your own negligence, no matter which pricepoint. Read up about Samsung's having infinity edge displays on how vulnerable they are breaking on impact maybe you'll understand smartphone structures. Here is a sample of a Samsung flagship with screen protector and case breaking from 21 inch fall.

                  https://youtu.be/b-vSOMWIN5g

                  Does that invalidate Samsung's claim of having Gorilla Glass? NO, because that would be a class action lawsuit. Your logic is simply unreasonable. You'll easily break a new phone due to your negligence and you'll be blaming it on the screen.

Regardless if it's a phone, a car or a house. You dropped your phone due to your own carelessness. And you just incriminated yourself by telling the story of how clumsy you are with your phones. How did you drop your Moto 'so many times' if you are not clumsy as heck?

                    Let me tell you a story too. Apple will not honour Iphone warranty if it finds water damage in the phone. But it advertised the phone as water resistant, right? Doesn't Apple make the highest quality devices? Well, Apple know how foolish some users can be. Same like you like to drop your phones to test 'hardware quality', some people will intentionally put their Iphones in water to test water resistance. Apple will be bankrupt if it honour all warranties.

                    Same case with Poco. You can try to claim warranty, but the first thing the service center will tell you is the phone suffered drop damage so warranty void. You can go buy Samsung, Nokia, Iphone whatever. The moment they see drop damage, your warranty is void.

Of course it won't crack on its own. NOTHING DOES. It fell from bed on the floor and cracked. I have Moto x4 with gg3, dropped it many times, never cracked. X3 has cheap low grade hw, not to mention sw issues. Camera takes pics like an 8mp would. And I can't return it b'coz of the crack. If the company can't do anything about scamming me, then this is the next best thing I can do. Let people know the truth.

                        Anonymous, 26 Sep 2020GG3 is just as good as GG5 in terms of scratch resistance. ... moreGorilla Glass is scratch resistant not impact "proof". It can withstand impacts but Corning's tests that via impacting the face (best case) of the glass and never the edges (weak) nor corners (weakest). If you are a person that is reasonable by the very least then you'll know that GG5 can be broken via side or corner impact. If you think that it's falsely advertised then blame Corning for GG5 being weak just look at the impact shown at your phone and you'll see the main impact point. Now if my X3 starts to crack while being placed in a table then I'll assure you that a class action lawsuit would follow.

                          Anonymous, 26 Sep 2020From you profile you either work for xiaomi or you're ... moreSome the phones from my profile are the ones that I have (F1, X3 and, Mi5 (unlisted)). The other were the ones owned by my friends and relatives which I can have direct access to whenever I want. I do like Xiaomi and I'm not going hide that but I do have valid reasons choosing them over others given their pricepoints. Myself and most of the people that I know that have knowledge of electronic repair values more hardware specs at given pricepoint which can easily be satisfied by phones manufactured by Xiaomi. I do smartphone repairs as a hobby, I even check teardowns even before purchasing the product and I can tell you that Xiaomi's the only one that can pack better cooling, GG5, better SoC at this pricepoint. If you managed to break that then it's your fault, the phone does not jump by itself nor any sane company honoring warranty for impact damage caused by negligence.

                          Did noticed anything in the list of the phones I prefer? None of them have AMOLED panels.

It's the comment afterall. My point is, if you have a faulty device then go towards the manufacturer because it's well within the warranty IF you can prove that it's not a user error. This phone has Gorilla Glass panel but it's not indestructible and you managed to break it due to fall. Does the phone jump towards the ground on its own? NO.

Nobody scratches their phone with nail but people almost always drop it. If it can't survive 2ft fall then it's false advertising reveling use of cheap materials. And people should complain and whine..that's what improves products in future. They shouldn't just take it whatever the company throws at them. That's why we all here. I will not wag my tail like a good puppy.

You don't own this device. So stop defending. I am being cheated by the company and I will complain wherever I want and as much as I want. Ive wasted my money on this junk, you didn't.

As a consumer I have every right to complain if I am being cheated by the company. Even you agree that there are issues with this phone. Heating, fragile built, battery drain and low grade hardware. False advertising is scamming according to consumer protection law. I can't replace this piece of junk b'coz it broke and voided it's warranty. I bought it b'coz of this review and I'm letting GA and people know that all is not well. Isn't this the purpose of this comments section? Grow up.

                                    Nice phone but few serious problems:

                                    - screen backlight flickering even when auto brightness turned off, really annoying. Specially outdoors and in bright light. Can be reproduced when moving your hand around light sensor, so it should be fixed...

                                    - bad 4G reception compared to other phones

                                    - battery life really mediocre considering huge battery

I have this phone and if I am experiencing issues such as yours then GSMArena is the least of the place that I would go. I don't have such issues on my end.

The weakest point of Gorilla Glass is a drop then corner impact and that just straight drop, a drop with the phone spinning will amplify the force even more. I have this phone personally and the only time it heated up without gaming or charging was during setup, when I'm downloading around 30 apps from Google Play and synching my Cloud data to my phone at the same time using the phone modifying the settings.
