My previous phone was Xperia XZ and since I used to carry it a lot in my pocket it started bending and LCD lifted from the chassis.

Since this phone is quite thin, I'm worried about this issue whenever I'm considering buying it.

I would be delighted to hear your opinion about this matter.

    Android-Authority, 20 Apr 20218bit, 10 bit has to do with color reproduction. 10bit is o... moreSurely, very resonable comment
    I will surely buy the a poco f3 brand new
    Or a second hand Mi 11
    Next year
    But now I still have the mi 9 and it still rocksss, amazing phone, I bought it second hand for about 230 euro wich is I think about 290 dollars
    I am the one who spoke with you before about the game booster and you said that you used a black shark or something, I don't really remember the conversation correctly
    I don't cares at all about cameras, or photography phones like s21 ultra exynos :( or the iphone 12 pro max with 60hz :(
    The poco f3 have the best flat display and everything is as good as any ultra flagship phones (except the cameras wich are not necessary at all for me, just a regular single camera with the same sensor as the pixel 3 is good enough) no need to pay 1400 or 1500€ for photography phones
    Gaming phones are also very good for me just like the poco f3 they are very suitable for me, I don't play games A Loooot, I surely play high end games but also listen to youtube and browse and root the phone... I also like miui, And I love how I can customise the themes
    These 2 themes are amazing for people who like one ui or ios : SN20 V11 and Ios 14x pro
    Gaming phones have top display, charging speed, battery, build and soc and speakers, and some of them is only 400euro, the only inconvient is the weight, the triggers are good addition, when I want to play sometime
    But I prefer lightweight, I also don't like Thiccc phones with giant camera bump also they increase the weight and the price increase a lot
    This may seem strange because A lot of people like photography phones, and because a lot of phone are camera centric
    But still this is what I love
    If they can use a single great enough camera that's good
    And if they can use a single camera that can change distance like having a telephoto and normal x1 zoom in a single not heavy and not expensive camera that would be better, especially for photography lovers, even tho cameras as I said has very low importance, soc, battery, charging speed build, display and speakers are the most important for me, and poco f3 is one of the best phones in the world at those specs
    Sorry for this long comment and I respect and understand others taste, mine is maybe different form others, not only in cameras but also in miui, I really love miui with its ios like system and all the themes and features and the fact that I can disable app drawer and I can root or install gcam, I also don't like stock android I tried a lot of custom rom in the mi 6 and redmi note 4 including Aosp and pixel expérience but they seems very boring after just a short time
    Xiaomi is the best company for me, samsung and apples are expensive,
    For example the s21 ultra is a great flagship but has compromise in one of the most important part of me, the soc wich is exynos, also its very expensive but still exellent for most people and exynos this year is not very very bad like last year and years before last year
    The iphone 12 pro max is also very expensive and the refresh rate is 60hz, I read from gizmochina and other site that the k40 aka poco f3 has the best flat display and the iphone 12 pro max has a flat display, so I don't except the ip 12 pro max display to be better, atleast not by much and 60hz is bad in 2021 especially after 3 years of use, also the ios is so retstrictive and this is a a bad thing
    Wich means even tho they are "ultra flagships" they have critical inconvients for me, the soc, the 60 hz, being restrictive and the expensive price are very big inconvénients,
    Surely the poco f3 have one inconvénient like the résolution is not quad hd, I don't care about ip rating at all,
    Respect to everyone

          I think Poco X3 pro is great deal for the price. LCD panels are more durable though.... IMX 582/586 provide great results with Google camera application... MI 10lite looks sleek but may not be durable being so thin and plastic frame... Sd780 is on par with sd860 in raw processing power.. it's €150 expensive for Amoled Display, and 5nm chip... not really worth the price...


          May be after 1 year when it's down to "€300

                      It is a bit biased at the performance section:
                      Why was Poco F3 included only at AnTuTu 8 and not in previous tests? So that it could be beaten?
                      It doesn't make sense, if you want to do proper comparison then include same models in all charts...just like other reviews

                        At least in raw performance, SD780 is leading, compared to SD860/855+

                          AWOTE, 17 Apr 2021The Mi 11 Lite 5G Screen is 10Bit, the Poco F3 only 8 Bit, ... more8bit, 10 bit has to do with color reproduction.
                          10bit is obviously better but there's more to a screen that color depth.
                          Screen brightness, touch response time and refresh rate can make a big difference.

                          The MI 10 lite 5g has higher peak brightness but tops out at 90hz with 240hz touch sampling rate while the Poco F3 is slightly dimmer but goes all the way upto 120hz and is paired along with 360hz touch sampling rate.

                          Both screens are good but if gaming is a priority, I'd go with the Poco F3 as it also has faster Snapdragon 870 processor. Otherwise, the MI 11 lite 5g has a good screen nevertheless and should make most users happy.

                            If according to the review "Xiaomi's Mi 11 Lite 5G seems like a proper Lite model of the Mi 11 flagship. " how come the lite 5g model has better network bands than the 11 itself? (couple of important bands, one in 4g and one in 5g) Something weird in how Xiaomi does these "lite" models. For the mi 10 series, the 10T (and 10T lite) had better band coverage especially in 5G than the mi 10.

                              What about Bluetooth aptX, aptX HD, aptX adaptive?
                              Its not even mentioned in the review and it IS important for music lovers.
                              And what about it being light and small? Thats VERY important for some people such as myself, trying to find small flagship android for years without success. Only 800€ iPhone mini.
