      Starfkrost, 16 Sep 2020Impressive camera? Oh, really? Unimpressively sweet review.... moreComment not fair. It's been judged for this price range, nothing complicated. And Mi 9T is june 2019 that's more like 1 year actually.

        Sorry guys for the question, I really don't know haha
        the ghosting can't be fixed by a software update?

          s-pen pusher, 16 Sep 2020it has been a week now and my order has not been delivered.... moreI am in the same boat as you , I have ordered on the 9th from Spain AliExpress but not even shipped yet , some people who have ordered on the 10th have got there's .

          I have a mi 9t pro , so only wanted to get this phone because of the refresh rate but now having second thoughts.

            it has been a week now and my order has not been delivered. pre-ordered it 08/09/2020 (it became available the following day 09/09/2020) from their global page and already paid for. there is progress in shipping, but each day as more and more reviews become available i am more inclined to cancelling the order instead. i have the legendary pocophone f1 and the poco x2 and i have been satisfied with them so far. i skipped the f2 pro because i was thinking they were just keep rebranding redmi devices, so what really compelled me to order this x3 is the fact that it is not a rebranded redmi. i was worried when i first saw from mrwhosetheboss regarding ads, as both f1 and x2 had ads turned off by default; then this ghosting mentioned by gsmarena. i also have read about some games optimized for 120Hz refresh rate not allowing the phone to utilize it. i ordered the 6GB/128GB variant for about USD237 (PHP11,000.00) cobalt blue. can i ask for your suggestions if should proceed with the order or should i cancel it instead while still undelivered.

              Impressive camera? Oh, really? Unimpressively sweet review. How can a phone with 1.5 useful cameras be called great in 2020? Same goes for other vendors smartphones - Realme etc. Wide, ultrawide, tele camera - that`s what can be called good setup. Even Xiaomi Mi 9T had that two years ago.

                I've used many xperia flagships in the past and all have backlightlight issues. It is LCD problem. No LCD can have perfectly even backlight around cutout.

I've seen many flagship devices with uneven backlighting such as xperia XZ and XZs. Xiaomi use OLED In devices that price upwards of $350. Xiaomi hater, go away lol.

                            I think that if this had a Snapdragon 865 it would have made a great and authentic Poco F2 (not the rebranded k30 they gave us) as it would have followed the formula of the F1 more closely.

                            Also the ghosting and camera issues mentioned here are a bit of a bummer to hear about.

                                    Very high price for very low quality components. If Xiaomi can cut a corner, they will. It seems especially with displays.
                                    And like I said I'm not an LCD hater either, there are some really good ones out there. It's just Xiaomi using terrible ones
