Both look and perform reasonably well considering their prices. You can't go wrong with either of them, unless you're looking for a real flagship. The screen of the F3 is a bit brighter.

                  Dan, 25 Oct 2021I hope GSMArena or anybody there lists the set of problems ... morethe new update MIUI 12.5 version seems to fixed those issues.. the only problem I am currently facing is some minor color invert on dark mode, for instance, the Shudder logo when you start playing the video becomes pinkish red instead of the original deep red. sometime happens to subtitle shadow and border that were supposed to be black but it turns to white, which makes the subtitles become bold lol. but if you turn off the dark mode, then pooofs, the problem is gone. oh, also you can set the dark mode/light mode individually for each apps. but do remind that it doesn't happens to every apps, just a certain app, which I find this is just a small issue. and the rest seems fine to me. no such thing as the "unusable problematic device" I assume that the people who keeps "karenting" about that haven't got their hand with any MIUI devices and relies on the paid reviewers, or haters or they still stuck with 2016's MIUI

                      A masterpiece

                        DevilCry, 15 Sep 2021hi bro i have heard poco f3 is have dimming problem does ... moreIn general it seems stable but on Pokemon Unite, a very lightweight triple A game(not some badly optimized poop) that plays perfectly at 60 fps on a phone from 5 years ago, usually drops to 45-50 fps and stays there till you restart the game or it cools off(?), or at least I think, since it actually doesnt seem to become too hot.

                          Where are bugs mentioned in the review?You've killed the OnePlus 9 pro saying it had multiple bugs(which I actually believe to be true) but mentioning only one single bug that I experienced with the Poco F3 as well! I'm talking about the music player notifications never showing up. But what about apps that randomly restart themselves when you minimize them? Can't even answer a message on whatsapp while playing a ranked in some game that I find myself losing a minute at least for the game to load again. This used to happen on my MI 5 probably for his ram limitation, but is unacceptable here, it never happened on my MI 9. And I even have deactivated miui power save on those apps (like Mobile Legends) and activated game mode, to no use. What about the fact that it often plays at 45 fps on Pokemon Unite, even though the One Plus 5 of my friend, 5 years old phone, plays it at immovable 60 fps?Surely not a performance issue since the phone has like thrice the computing power. These 3 bugs(plus some minor ones) that I experienced in one month of use make the device unusable for many, how is nothing of the sort mentioned here?You have found not even a single bug which I find totally unrealistic, seeing the trend with xiaomi.

                                Can a user of this phone help me out about this matter! ---- after 2 or 3 months of *heavy use, what's the differences you’re facing now about the battery? and how many hours it can go on with a *moderate use?

                                  I hope GSMArena or anybody there lists the set of problems this unit is having and verify if it has been resolved or not. But then again the fact that there are a lot of disagreements between the issues being resolved or not and new problems popping out every now and then makes the unit undesirable for me already.

                                      Does anyone know if the white version has the same grippy textured type paint on the edges like the black version.?

                                      Hard to tell from the pictures I've seen, but looks like it might be a shinier finish.
