IamfromPhilippines, 27 Jun 2021I am stuck between Mi 10T and Poco F3. I want a phone with ... moreI advise you to take a look at redmi k40 pro/poco F3 GT(indian version, hopefully global too) specs. It has aluminum frame, amoled display, 5000+ mah battery and probably takes better photos..
I'm not an expert though, but wanted something similar as you.
Waiting for the supposedly global release that won't break the bank.
Cheers

    kk, 27 Jun 2021if you want mi series, buy mi 11x, its the same specs as f3... moreMi 11x is a little bit expensive for me. Poco F3 is just enough for my budget.

But may I know why you don't want to go back to IPS LCD? How's your experience with AMOLED display?

          I agree that no reviewer goes this deep, or they simply dont care to show the very little subtle issues that might annoy some (like with my F3) but not the majority who might not even notice it.

I ain't ever going back to IPS. Nevertheless, if I were you, I'd wait a bit longer to see if the problems with F3 are fixed with an update. It's kinda many now, or maybe wait, if there be a pro version. If Poco releases a pro, I doubt if they'll repeat the mistakes of F3

                  After reading your post I went into Settings and checked my battery. It showed that it was last charged 28h 12m ago and is now 72% charged, with 43h 23m remaining. I know that is extreme and not many users can expect that but it shows that if you are using it constantly for games etc. then it will deplete a lot faster.

                    Battery-wise I have had no issues with my F3.

                    If I charge it to 100% before bed, in the morning it is still at 97% - 98% - and that is with 2 SIM cards installed as well.

                    As I have said previously, if you have experiencing battery drain, it is probably due to a bug in one of the apps you are using.

                    Most likely one of the apps that not everyone uses, but you do (i.e. not Whatsapp or Chrome).

                    If this is the case, then you will see a major improvement once the vendor for your battery-guzzling application releases an update to address it at some point (hopefully).

                      I am stuck between Mi 10T and Poco F3. I want a phone with a good camera and better built (aluminum frame and 5000 mah), which is the Mi 10t. But I also don't wanna miss the chance to experience an amoled display because I want to try something new since I am using LCD displays on my previous phones and I didn't have tried having amoled ever since. But Poco F3 have a lot of issues such as battery drain and overheating, which causes framedrops. However, Mi 10t also has a lot of issues such as random disconnection of Wi-fi and 5G mobile data and unable to receive internet connection. Is it really worth to take the risk to buy Poco F3 just to experience amoled display, considering its issues? Does Amoled and IPS LCD has a huge difference between them in terms of display? Does anyone of you here guys came from IPS LCD and bought the POCO F3? How's your experience? Does AMOLED display really worth to sacrifice better camera, aluminum frame, and 5000 mah?

                        I visit this forum daily and cannot understand all the negative views being expressed.
                        Users moan about the MIUI interface. Well, if you don't like it then change it. I personally like it but if you don't then change it for something else, there are plenty of other launchers available to try.
                        When I first got my F3 I watched a video on YouTube that explained how to remove bloatware and stop ads appearing. It only took 10 minutes to do and now my phone is bloatware free and I never see ads.
                        The camera isn't the best but if you want to improve matters then a quick search on Google will give you links to Gcam mods which you can download. Let's face it, 99 percent of phone users aren't bothered about how many lens it has. They just want to take the phone out of their pocket, take a quick snap, and put it away. They are not bothered about whether it has telephoto lens, macro, depth sensors etc.
                        I charge my F3 twice a week whether it needs it or not, but then I don't have it in my hand all day reading social media or playing games on it. People play games for hours at a time and then moan because the battery doesn't last a day.
                        I admit that the proximity sensor is annoying, but I have already explained in a previous post how to temporally fix it. It doesn't happen on every call so it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem and hopefully a fix will appear.
                        I paid £280 for my F3 two weeks ago on an Amazon deal and I defy anyone to find another phone with these specs for less than £300. I purchased mine to replace a Oneplus 8T that was plagued with dropped calls and which Oneplus has never addressed but the F3 has performed faultlessly from Day One.
