Price the same price, no one makes the screen more vibrant than Xiaomi/Poco. Battery life (esp standby) is also very good on Xiaomi/Poco devices.

We have 4 devices from Poco and Redmi in our family, and it really bang for buck. Best spec with high spec. UI is user friendly and smooth. What I like about UI is it has many features that really help use the phone all the day.
Totally it's better choice than Samsung.

[deleted post]This makes no sense. The snapdragon 870 is faster than any of the 855 or 865 phones...

Crazy Weirdo, 22 Dec 2022So, a 400 euro phone is still stuck on the August security ... moreAll these updates are useless. I have phones like Redmi note 4x that work perfectly fine with Android 7 and nothing happened to them. Nobody stole nothing due to lack of "security updates".
I rudder have miui updates which brings new features

I was actually considering getting F4 before I got... good old X3 pro. Only reason? I didnt like that camera island. Im not kidding... it look like sticker that someone put just before sending it to clients...
Now I need to say that: I totally dont see the point of getting any flagship and spending more than 300bucks on phone... I slap 300 every 2-3 years and I dont need to think about any of that weird things that fanboys do, because I use phone, not play with it.
Like even plastic build is not an issue because more than 90% of people use cases anyway so why you need metal/glass back? like seriously? why if you will use case? Last time I got nice fancy glass-metal phone i accidently put my elbow on it when I was in bed and it broke and permanently bend a bit... with plastic phone in a case? one time I dropped it from roof zero-nada-none body damages.
Performances? My x3 pro work the same as friend Galaxy s22,I mean every day apps, not games, but even games: solid 30-60fps. perfect for me.
Screen? It look ok? yes? nice. No? I get another phone, simple as that.
Camera? Lets be honest here for a moment... no one really do 1:1 prints and most of use dont even watch our images on PC, just on phone, as far as light is good, any camera make good pictures...
So why bother with +600$ phones if cheap F4 and X3pro work the same? Flex? if you flex with phone... your life is really, really sad... Fancy features? you use them once per year and forget that you had them...

One of the best smartphones in India. It's easy better than its alternatives. Crazy good display. Smooth. Camera is.......fine. Battery is also fine. Don't upgrade if you already have an 870. But if you're coming from a entry level or mid range, and you want almost flagship level performance, this is it. And the display is gorgeous to watch at. The reviewer rightfully didn't mention the custom ROM support as most users won't even try it. But the custom ROMs available for this phone is nuts. I'm sure the poco F3 users can testify to that.

Camera is total crap. They put flagship chipset into a budget phone body, good only for kids to play games.

Anonymous, 21 Dec 2022Are there any recent Xiaomi/Poco phones with a flat screen ... moreThere is the Xiaomi 11T, but it's now more than a year old. That is even if you can find it anymore, it's starting to disappear from the shops.

I bought this phone on Black Friday for 400€ (256Gb version) and I have no complaints, great battery life, very smooth in day-to-day use and barely heats up during gaming, it's a good phone for the price.

KimbraP, 21 Dec 2022True. I like Xiaomi phones. I will go with the F4 GT to rep... moreNo no no, pls don't buy Poco F4 GT, the processor it's using snapdragon 8 gen 1, one of the worst processor so far, I'm using poco f4 gt rn, it was easily to get overheated, and the battery will drain stupidly quick, you can try Poco F4 or Poco X4 GT, both of this phone was great and especially Poco X4 GT, is pretty cheap, and the spec was good. Or you can wait for next year Xiaomi 12 or 13, if I was right, the latest phone they will use Snapdragon 8 gen 2 ad the processor, you can check the review from Geekbench about this processor.

Yet you conveniently omitted the detail that 3 to 4 months passed before that Vivo received Dec update. Oh yeah, surprise surprise, other people here are using Vivo phones too so don't try to lie that all Vivo phones receiving monthly updates.

Crazy Weirdo, 22 Dec 2022So, a 400 euro phone is still stuck on the August security ... moreSo what will happen if your phone not receiving monthly security patch?will it became obsolete and useless or something like that?play store have its own security update you can manually install even then this phone value for its price its vastly superior compared to that trash vivo. And in most country except maybe EU this phone cost 300$+ i believe other flagship brand like asus, sony, LG etc not giving you update every month but they are not bashed like Xiaomi do even though they cost more.
