Assuming they are the same price, which one would you guys pick out of the 3?

Poco F3 (rebranded K40), Mi 11, or Galaxy S20 FE (although plastic back)

I'm looking for an AMOLED phone with 5G chipset. These 3 fulfill the requirements and come at the same price from where I live in (Poco F3 being the cheapest slightly). Although all 3 lack the headphone jack, at this point I'm not as picky as I was 2-3 years ago.

Mi 11 Ultra and S21 series is a little out of my budget. I'm leaning toward S20 FE for now, but the plastic back + lack of slow-mo (which i like in a phone) is a bit underwhelming.

Outside of the 3, I am considering Mi 11i (better than Poco F3 in every other way), which is essentially a rebranded K40 Pro Plus, but for the global market. Flat screen is a good sight (same for Poco F3), but it has yet to be announced in my local market. Should I wait for news for the Mi 11i, or just go for 1 of the 3 options listed above?

    YuHang, 03 Apr 2021Anyone owned this phone? Would like to check is it plasti... moreAccording to review is "painted" aluminum, other reviews mentioned this too, and according to Poco/Xiaomi, it has "sturdy metal frame", i guess once @JerryRigEverything gets his hands on one wi will know for sure, if glass is glass and it scratches at level 6 with deeper ones at level 7, LOL, seriously tho, they claim metal.

      Anyone owned this phone?
      Would like to check is it plastic frame? Or metal frame?

        Mi Fans, 02 Apr 2021I'm pretty sure will pick poco f2 pro over this phone,... moreSame here. I'm confused whether to buy the Poco f2 pro or the poco f3.
        Also the Poco f2 pro has a more brighter screen than the poco f3.

                overall the Black shark 4 is bringing you more if not better performance than the F3 for nearly half the price

                  giudi de pe alba, 02 Apr 2021i whait for poco f3 pro !With TSMC and Xiaomi announcing prices likely going up. Better to don't wait and simply get F3 right now if you need a new phone.

If you are into cameras get last year's Mi 10T Pro but its chipset if the former of the Poco F3.. all of this phones are within the same price range and all are also made by Xiaomi

                      I'm pretty sure will pick poco f2 pro over this phone,
                      it has better build quality, better camera, cooling system, performance stability, and of course super valuable feature like headphone jack.

                      But the price of f2 pro much higher in my country,
                      now i'm confused

                        Its brightness decreases when the battery goes low to maintain temperature of the phone. This is very annoying. Anyone knows solution of that?

                          Which one should i pick black shark 4 or this one btw my budget is 23k hoping for your recommendations

                            Otherwise, you should surely get the poco f3

                              This has better battery life over the Poco X3 Pro despite its smaller capacity

                                Loki, 01 Apr 2021Why is Xiaomi putting out phones like the poco f3. I mean ... moreI don't see how it's much of a downgrade. It has a fast Hz screen, better CPU, 5G (Future proofing).

                                I'm sure you can't visually tell the difference between a "Super Amoled (Poco F2 pro" and the "Amoled" screen on the F3, they're both FHD +

                                You mentioned battery. its only a 180mAh difference in battery capacity between Poco F3 and F2 pro.

                                Poco F3 is a solid phone for its price. I got mine for £245, which is way cheaper, and performs better (except maybe in the camera department) than the other phones you mentioned.

                                        I don't know about you but in my region they are not priced the same.

                                        Poco f2 pro is 150-200 eur more expensive.

                                        So poco f3 has some merit if you want to save money.
