That's what I do because I prefer having apps on the home screen than using the app drawer. I have a Poco X3 NFC.

They need to stand strong and not give in to their stupidity. Apple and Samsung are stupid for removing 3.5mm headphone jack and micro SD card reader. There's no need for Xiaomi, Poco and other companies to follow in their stupid footsteps ! Most people want a headphone jack and micro SD card. I mean I wouldn't mind if they put two USB Type-C ports on the phones because then you could charge and listen to music at the same time. But I'm not will to use Bluetooth headphones because they are a cancer risk for causing brain tumors.

        Anonymous, 09 Apr 2021The mi 9 doesn't have an imx 363 in the main camera I... moreSorry I didn't read it correctly, I was thinking that you was saying the mi 9 has imx 363 but you was talking about the poco f1
        I forgot also, the mi 6 has imx 386 not imx 363
        Well maybe the mi mix 3 is a bit better on night,
        But imw 586 and 582 are used in some 2019 flagships like the mi 9 and oneplus 7.... And poco f3 with the better isp should be great even without the 60fps in 4k
        And with gcam it will compete with 2020 flagship in camera, gcam improves the quality tremoundsly (sorry for my bad english) especially in night and in zoom and ultra wide
        Also if we consider the price of the poco f3, I think that it compete with other phone, you cannot except a 108mpx with ois at that price point (well, except redmi note 10 pro and realme 8 pro but still...), still the cameras are good for the price not the best but still good,
        But everything other than cameras are 1000$ flagship level from display first to the soc to build quality to vibration motor and stereo speakers and design and just everything it even has better soc, battery, charging speed, build quality (glass back) than the 1000 $ s21 (the price of launch)

            cherry, 09 Apr 2021Totally agree, I got mi 9 for my dad end of 2019. Amazing p... moreYes, its a very beautiful phone, I still having it and its amazing
            It really deserves double of its price, especially shots with the 48mpx, they are very good even without gcam its one of the best cameras on 2019, and has the best soc and a very beautiful super amoled
            And with google camera its really in another level
            I am not really a camera man, I love playing games, and the sd 855 is top

Amazing phone and the camera during daylight great with normal software, during night with google camera app. S20 is better, but for the price of 280 Euro, crazy good. I miss Xiaomi offering such good phones for the price. I also loved the size, 6" is too small and 6.8" is too big.

                          The OS in one of the pictures says "Pull down on the right to open Control Center", bruh they just cannot get enough of iOS haha

                          ***not an iOS fanboy (or a fanboy of any company for that matter)

                              Second of all I compared Mi 9t pro (IMX586) against Poco F1 (IMX363) and Poco F1 has the better sensor, even without OIS.
                              It is faster to focus and needs lower ISO for same exposure (meaning it has better light sensitivity).

                              Mi8 with brighter lens and OIS for sure it's better than Poco.

                              You can check this detailed comparison with Mi mix3 (also imx363) and mi 9

                              In daylight they were similar, but you expect any camera to be good in daylight.
                              Mi Mix did clearly better in low light.

                                Especially because the sd 870 has a better isp than the one on the sd 845

                                  Imx 582 is the same as imx 586 except that it is 4k30fps instead of 4k60fps
                                  Wich means the poco f3 should have about the same quality as the mi 9 on the main sensor except the the 4k 60fps
                                  Here I talk only about the main sensor
                                  And even with the mi 8 having ois
                                  The mi 9 still scored better in dxomark and only 3 points less than the s10 or s10+ (I forgot wich one of these 2)
                                  You can use google camera, it does magic, it can make a phone that worth 280$ compete in cameras with phones that are sometimes more than double the price

                                    MI 8 had better sensor and OIS.
                                    Not to mention an actual useful second camera - telephoto.
