I have it for few weeks now and it has a major issue with Mobile Data connectivity, after a small research I did it looks like there is an incompatibility with Vodafone networks.

    This review is extremely inaccurate. The screen is not the best around, but is for sure a lot better than "fine", it's an Samsung E4 super amoled. Performance in this phone is awesome, I can throw any game at it and it runs smoothly. Camera is pretty average, but you can't ask more from a 300 € phone.

            miui has aggressive battery saving options. you can try opening the app info and on the autorun on the app.

                  Just bought this phone a week ago. Not sure if it's the phone or what, but the messages in my messenger come in late most of the time. I've adjusted all possible settings but it's still the same. That happens when to the phone is locked and the always on display is enabled.

                    Confused between Realme GT Master and Poco F3? Both of these cost almost same in my country.

                      I've used the phone for a few days and would agree with the verdicts in this review. Flagship killer flagship unfortunately, but at this price point the specs are decent.

                        best phone in the price segment. killer specs. beautiful slim design. ticks almost all features at a budget price. using it since it was released.
                        hate the broken ambient light sensor during calls. it drives me mad. had same issue in last phone Xiaomi note 10 lite. looks like MI doesn't care to fix this damn issue in their devices.

Sometimes it is not repairable depending on the severity. This commonly happens on LED screens. You shouldn't turn your screen brightness to max all the time, let your phone standby on the same screen for an extended period of time.

                                  Background apps can still drain your phone even your phone is locked. Make sure to close all apps in the recent apps. All phones will drain overnight unless you power off.

                                  MIUI is generally is not great. It's kinda unfair to compare MIUI to other ROM because it's just bad. But it has its pros.

                                  Poco F3 emphasizes performance over camera and software. A31 and J7 Prime's chipset is nothing compared to SD870 5G

                                    Poco F3 was fine for a few days after I got it, battery was great, screen was too, and the processor is fantastic. After a week of usage, the screen started to have a YELLOW TINT(anyone knows hot to fix it?), my Oppo A31 screen is brighter compared to F3 which Idk why, the battery drained around 15% in 5 hours time when I left my phone off(WiFi was turned off) and went to sleep, gotta admit as a long term Samsung smartphone user, I found out that MIUI is far away compared to One UI. I strongly suggest for those who value the camera, u guys may opt for Samsung smartphones. My Oppo A31 captures better picture in terms of coloration. I do really hope the SOFTWARE could be IMPROVED. I will still prefer the UI on my Galaxy J7 Prime, no offense to Poco. It's just my personal opinions.
