I've had this phone basically since this video came out and it's pretty good. The only problems I have are using the cloud storage and apparently running out of storage when it didn't making me nearly lose my data unless I paid, so just use some third-party cloud storage. The second thing is that whenever a new app just finished downloading in the background it kicks you out of the current program and shows the finished download screen (Even if you disable the ads the screen shows but just without the ads). Other than that it's perfect.
You can disable Xiaomi's app installer (reversibly and without voiding any warranties) using ADB (there's a debloater program to make it easier). Then it defaults to the play store app installer which doesn't show that screen anymore.
How has the battery lasted? Iv had a Samsung a71 for the last 16 months and just recently the phone just dies when it's down to the last 15%. This is the first Samsung iv had and I'm a bit disappointed as it wasn't the cheapest phone and expected it to last a bit longer. Just wondered I'd the poco battery had any issues? Thanks
Agree, I switched from Galaxy S20 Ultra and I am much more satisfied with POCO. The battery life is great, the camera performs good in 80% of the cases. No 5G, but that doesn't justify almost 1000 Euro difference in price. And I got POCO for 170 Euro as a spare device. Now the Samsung is in the drawer for 3 weeks and will stay there.

Yeah, that’s actually my biggest gripe with iPhone even as a fanboy. They should add an SD slot, and if they did that, iPhones would 100% be worth its value
1:05 What a cool charging animation! I absolutely LOVE this kind of thing, and it's a shame more phones don't do it. It adds a ton of personality and fun to a phone and it's a simple addition! Simple animations and visuals bring a phone from a boring brick to a living breathing device in my opinion. That's 2 second clip is cooler than anything my lame ass Samsung phone does.
Personally I love the poco x3 pro it’s amazing and it’s an absolute performance beast I highly recommend this and as for ads I couldn’t care less this phone has checked all the boxes in my list

@@clickbaitpro 80% of the people buying phones simply aren't tech enthusiasts. The simple fact is that the adverts shouldn't be baked into the os. For all you know they could still be using your data for ads much like Google.
I'm late to the Party i know, but this video made me buy this phone. All the benefits and disadvantages listed with a clear opinionless mind, just stating facts. I disabled the ads first ting during the setup, so for me it was just part of the setup process. I have the 256GB/8GB RAM version, and i use it for everything. Because of my work a rarely if ever have time to play on PC or Console, so i have loaded almost every Emulator on it and a Bucked of games. Even Gamecube and Ps2 work like a charm and after 2 years, the phone still kills it. Before i upgrde to a new phone in the future, i will surely check out this channel to see whats in store for me, cause it was the most honest review i ever had seen. Cheers
Me the first time I saw this guy: "Does he have to ask for a sub every time?" Me now: "Oh god I can't take the suspense what would a sub to the channel be this time?!"
I upgraded(?) to a Poco X3 Pro from an Xperia XZ Premium that decided to die after almost 4 years of constant use. I must say, the specs are amazing on paper, 90% of the tasks run better on this phone than my previous one. To be honest, though, I am not a huge fan of the MIUI, it feels overbloated with many apps that seem useful but way too forced, begging you to place them on your home screen and use them. I can also tell that some games run beyond horribly without the game booster on, to the point of them being literally unplayable, a Galaxy Mini 2 could run them better. Most of the ads can be disabled, too, which is nice, but definitely cheapens the experience (though, it is already really cheap for what it offers). Hopefully they improve the optimization and provide less bloating with MIUI 13 that will apparently come out in a few months, because aside from these relatively small details that the general consumer will most likely not mind much, this phone is great for its price. The only downgrades I see from my XZ Premium are that games tend to run worse, the UI has too much bloatware, and I am not a fan of the rounded corners and camera punch hole, but I am in the huge minority who think that way. I got it for around $307 here, since phones tend to be more expensive here (for reference, buying an iPhone 12 Pro Max or Galaxy S21 Ultra is approximately $1.636 here), which is less than half the price I got my XZ Premium for. So, if your budget is around this phone's range, and what you are mainly looking for is a lot of power, a big screen and lasting battery, this phone is a very good option for sure
Or you could try a Custom ROM, im using pixel experience plus and the difference is night and day, i love poco phones for thier hardware the only thing holding it back is software.
That's the story of android since the beginning. Awesome hardware, but software that lacks refinement. Even if it's small, if you encounter an issue frequently and it impedes workflow or it breaks you out of the experience, it is an issue. I like android because it's fun to use, iPhone's software is refined to the point of being boring, it's an incredible work tool but extremely boring if you like messing with your device.
@@xxprogamerxx7770 People are hard to please, some are impossible. They will always find something to complain. Had this kind of specs was on an Apple phone, the price wouldn't be under 1000.

@@DevanRA I'm just comparing to almost 6yr of my use of an Axon 7. And I'm fixing mine, after this,.. THING. ( charging port replacement ) But I'll give you a response to another... "" @******** 1: Connectivity Issues. Mobile use is sporadic. And many times will not connect to your home network after being away. Using your mobile data till you notice. IF YOU NOTICE. Because you naturally think it would. 2: Auto-Rotate,.. sucks. Has a mind of its own at times. And often will disappear the Task Bar. So you either have to flip it back and forth to get it to show up,.. or just reboot it. 3: Task Bar As mentioned above. Even getting the task bar to work while viewing even your pictures is problematic. 4: Keyboard use Will paste words or phrases from text you may OR MAY NOT have written. And you never know when. Library is worthless. And it will choose it's words whether turned on or off. And is almost unusable at times. With the curser being hard to control where you want it. 5: Mobile Network Dropouts Pretty self explanatory. And I'm comparing it to my 6yr old Axon 7. In the same area, same number and same network. Which I may add. This area has actually gotten many new Cell Towers. And still has problems I NEVER EXPERIENCED. 6: Texting You may find the bottom line while texting will not be visible or accessible when you rotate the phone from vertical to horizontal. 7: Cameras You'll find the problems if you take pictures. Especially if you use the High Meg lenses. And things you would expect to be automatic,.. just aren't. Like Micro. The cameras should automatically focus on the subject. My 6yr old phone did. 8: Battery Life It's Big. It's Heavy. And even with battery saver on. Doesn't perform even as good as my old one. And you will find the phone heating up often in use,.. or charging. More than it should. That should be enough. There's so much more. And I'm not a fan of it's touch screen either. It does weird 💩 even in your pocket. And will go into screens you may not know even exist 🥴 For me. This phone has more issues than every phone I've owned combined. And my first was a Motorola BRICK. And after months of updates. Hasn't gotten better. US and Foreign versions may be different. But it's hard to imagine the hardware and software issues could be different enough to address everything I've found. So, Enjoy. ...I'm fixing my old Axon as we speak. And just noticed this thing Erased some of my points. So I renumbered them instead of rewriting. I'm sure you get the idea 😬✌️ ...Like I may have mentioned... My old Daily User was an Axon 7. Never Failed. Best the 💩 of everything we Battled. I'm in Seattle. So I played with the Expensive Guys 😂... as they jumped the bus in Ballard. And my Axon,.. Is damn near Perfect. And it will be Again when I'm done fixing it. That's gotta tell ya something. When fixing a 6yr old phone is better than using this New High Power Phone 😂 ...damn thing doesn't even have a Pedometer... No. Not Bloat Ware. It just used it's sensors without having you to Share Every Step You Take. The world is changing
@@3ckstermus did they mean tattoo as in the poco logo behind the cover or inside the box or anything ? If its about the logo behind the phone the awesome !
I think for 200 US you aren't going to get a phone close to this. Samsung even puts ads on its phones now. They are 4 times as much. I qonder why he never mentions that. Maybe he is afraid a larger company won't give him rwview copies.
I got this phone last year, after seeing this video , and this phone has been a really good daily driver for me since the last year, the insane value it gave in this price segment. The only drawback for me was the heavy weight of this device and how big it is, but it's just my opinion.
@@iffatahmed2116 Extremely good... I have the 6 GB one. Does lag slightly but only if multiple background apps are running... So, if you are a heavy user, go for the 8 GB one. Otherwise 6 GB will be enough, even for gamers who do modest multitasking. Games run smoothly that looks fluid on the 120Hz screen. The best part is fast-charging and the dynamic 120Hz screen and some awesome features like reading mode, focus mode (to mute notifications and keep you focused during work hours), various unique cam modes and settings, switchable display refresh-rate and game turbo booster to name a few... Go for it. You will love the phone. 🤗🙏

@@yuvtube1 if I can disable it for free, I rather have ads but with amazing specs phone. Unlike Samsung where it have ads yet its phone is expensive. Also: Xiaomi is a good phone to mod, you can say bye bye to ads and Xiaomi analytics easily.
1. The Ads is NOT intrusive nor you will even see that see once a week, it's only when installing and uninstalling, how many times do you install/uninstall app per day? probably 0 almost everyday. 2. The camera app of MIUI is shit, use Google Camera to properly utilize what the real capabilities of the camera is. it will be 3x better with Nigh Sight on GCam too. 3. It's still cheaper and way better than any other phones above its own category even with that increase 30 euro. 4. 6GB RAM is more than enough, there's no app in the world that uses more than 2.5gb -.- even Genshin Impact, PUBG, Ragnarok Mobile doesn't eat more then 2.5gb at max settings. 5. That screen has auto refresh rate adjustment, it will improve over OS Updates. 6. I don't know how much they paid him to dirty the name of the phone that's literally making changes in the industry.
@@gethermedel3620 just two things, first of all, Xiaomi hasn't even announced that they have baked ads into the ui, if they did, it would've been acceptable and that people would've found ways around the ads, dude the first time you boot up a phone, do you just check out the phone or download apps that you need?, so you get an ad everytime you download like 20 apps, second point - he hasn't badmouthed the phone, in part of Xiaomi ads, he has made a video to let us know that there are ads baked into the software, and if he is paid, he would've said its sponsored

those bit by bit decisions to get it to that price is still incredible, that all the negative stuff becomes forgivable. i'm considering getting a new phone but the only thing that stopping me from buying this phone is the lack of 5g. yet no 5g phone can match this phone specs-wise and price-wise. so i think im gonna hold on my phone for a little bit longer.

IDK if this is the same on paper as the POCO X3 Pro 8/256, which I got for USD 220.00 (equivalent in Philippine Pesos), but of all the phones I've ever had, this by far has exceeded my expectations at its price range. I didn't know it had ads, until I realized that I may haver turned that off in my phone upon setting it up. Many users are not happy with it, and are expecting so much more at its price point, but for me, it really is a bang for the buck. EDIT: I forgot to add, I am on MIUI 13, Android 12, and I am 100% for it. Super happy.
Um no. Chinese people require NFC for they’re ubiquitous Alipay and Wepay to work. Literally everywhere they go. So there is absolutely no phone without nfc in China.

I absolutely LOVE this kind of thing, and it's a shame more phones don't do it. It adds a ton of personality and fun to a phone and it's a simple addition!

I'm late to the Party i know, but this video made me buy this phone. All the benefits and disadvantages listed with a clear opinionless mind, just stating facts. I disabled the ads first ting during the setup, so for me it was just part of the setup process. I have the 256GB/8GB RAM version, and i use it for everything. Because of my work a rarely if ever have time to play on PC or Console, so i have loaded almost every Emulator on it and a Bucked of games.

I upgraded(?) to a Poco X3 Pro from an Xperia XZ Premium that decided to die after almost 4 years of constant use. I must say, the specs are amazing on paper, 90% of the tasks run better on this phone than my previous one. To be honest, though, I am not a huge fan of the MIUI, it feels overbloated with many apps that seem useful but way too forced, begging you to place them on your home screen and use them. I can also tell that some games run beyond horribly without the game booster on, to the point of them being literally unplayable, a Galaxy Mini 2 could run them better. Most of the ads can be disabled, too, which is nice, but definitely cheapens the experience (though, it is already really cheap for what it offers). Hopefully they improve the optimization and provide less bloating with MIUI 13 that will apparently come out in a few months, because aside from these relatively small details that the general consumer will most likely not mind much, this phone is great for its price. The only downgrades I see from my XZ Premium are that games tend to run worse, the UI has too much bloatware, and I am not a fan of the rounded corners and camera punch hole, but I am in the huge minority who think that way. I got it for around $307 here, since phones tend to be more expensive here (for reference, buying an iPhone 12 Pro Max or Galaxy S21 Ultra is approximately $1.636 here), which is less than half the price I got my XZ Premium for. So, if your budget is around this phone's range, and what you are mainly looking for is a lot of power, a big screen and lasting battery, this phone is a very good option for sure
Or you could try a Custom ROM, im using pixel experience plus and the difference is night and day, i love poco phones for thier hardware the only thing holding it back is software.
That's the story of android since the beginning. Awesome hardware, but software that lacks refinement. Even if it's small, if you encounter an issue frequently and it impedes workflow or it breaks you out of the experience, it is an issue.
I like android because it's fun to use, iPhone's software is refined to the point of being boring, it's an incredible work tool but extremely boring if you like messing with your device.

After 6 months with this piece of 💩.
I'm getting my 5yr old Axon 7 fixed. It's simply better.
@@DevanRA
I'm just comparing to almost 6yr of my use of an Axon 7. And I'm fixing mine, after this,.. THING. ( charging port replacement )
But I'll give you a response to another...
"" @********
1: Connectivity Issues.
Mobile use is sporadic.
And many times will not connect to your home network after being away. Using your mobile data till you notice. IF YOU NOTICE.
Because you naturally think it would.
2: Auto-Rotate,.. sucks.
Has a mind of its own at times.
And often will disappear the Task Bar. So you either have to flip it back and forth to get it to show up,.. or just reboot it.
3: Task Bar
As mentioned above.
Even getting the task bar to work while viewing even your pictures is problematic.
4: Keyboard use
Will paste words or phrases from text you may OR MAY NOT have written. And you never know when. Library is worthless. And it will choose it's words whether turned on or off. And is almost unusable at times. With the curser being hard to control where you want it.
5: Mobile Network Dropouts
Pretty self explanatory. And I'm comparing it to my 6yr old Axon 7.
In the same area, same number and same network.
Which I may add. This area has actually gotten many new Cell Towers. And still has problems I NEVER EXPERIENCED.
6: Texting
You may find the bottom line while texting will not be visible or accessible when you rotate the phone from vertical to horizontal.
7: Cameras
You'll find the problems if you take pictures. Especially if you use the High Meg lenses.
And things you would expect to be automatic,.. just aren't. Like Micro. The cameras should automatically focus on the subject. My 6yr old phone did.
8: Battery Life
It's Big. It's Heavy.
And even with battery saver on. Doesn't perform even as good as my old one. And you will find the phone heating up often in use,.. or charging. More than it should.
That should be enough. There's so much more.
And I'm not a fan of it's touch screen either. It does weird 💩 even in your pocket. And will go into screens you may not know even exist 🥴
For me.
This phone has more issues than every phone I've owned combined. And my first was a Motorola BRICK.
And after months of updates. Hasn't gotten better.
US and Foreign versions may be different. But it's hard to imagine the hardware and software issues could be different enough to address everything I've found.
So, Enjoy.
...I'm fixing my old Axon as we speak. And just noticed this thing Erased some of my points. So I renumbered them instead of rewriting. I'm sure you get the idea 😬✌️
...Like I may have mentioned...
My old Daily User was an Axon 7.
Never Failed. Best the 💩 of everything we Battled. I'm in Seattle. So I played with the Expensive Guys 😂... as they jumped the bus in Ballard.
And my Axon,..
Is damn near Perfect.
And it will be Again when I'm done fixing it.
That's gotta tell ya something. When fixing a 6yr old phone is better than using this New High Power Phone 😂

The best part is fast-charging and the dynamic 120Hz screen and some awesome features like reading mode, focus mode (to mute notifications and keep you focused during work hours), various unique cam modes and settings, switchable display refresh-rate and game turbo booster to name a few...

1. The Ads is NOT intrusive nor you will even see that see once a week, it's only when installing and uninstalling, how many times do you install/uninstall app per day? probably 0 almost everyday.
2. The camera app of MIUI is shit, use Google Camera to properly utilize what the real capabilities of the camera is. it will be 3x better with Nigh Sight on GCam too.
3. It's still cheaper and way better than any other phones above its own category even with that increase 30 euro.

@@marlonmsl nice. I will get one for my wife. 128gb or 64gb, what you think? Is the extra money worth the extra gb even if memory is expandable
@@ce5614 i got the 64 gb version because i dont need that much memory id still recommend buying and sd card

I bought this fone a year back after watching your video. Very satisfied!!
Kind of a dramatic click bait title. That would be the 'SHADY TRUTH' about this video.
A lot of his dam videos have clickbait titles idiot
The cuts they made to get to the 199 price tag! Duh
See the whole video before commenting.... start @ 5:22
@@bhavikshankar3235 dude, they're not hiding that they run ads, and you can even turn them off. No shady truth, just truth. Shady implies they're hiding something.
He's probably paid by Apple since he made that video dumping on android. Not to be trusted
Who needs a flagship when almost flagship performance is here at such a low price. Amazing price.

Why reviewers still talk about viewing angles? Do they need someone else to read our sms when we are in a train or any other public place.
Place your device horizontal on a dining table while dinner and you want everyone to watch a video or something. That is when you knw what they mean by viewing angles
@Parome 😂😂 then no problem for you. ❤
@@mfqpakistan I have a privacy screen on all my phones. So, yeah. Angles are irrelevant to me.
Let's just say you are lying down, you out your phone sideways and the angle is kinda off and kinda blocks your content. Would you like that?
lmao
You might literally be my favorite UA-camr on the platform at this point. You put so much effort into every video. Without having a huge staff, your videos are still better produced than Linus’s. Props to you man!

All ADs can be turned off, just google for tutorials. 5 mins job. I have done on my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G.
Sure, we, the tech ppl, all did it. But the vast majority won't
Can you doit from the phone, or do you need to conect it to the pc to turn the adds off? Thanks
@@simplethingsmatter.7782 its all just in the settings of the phones, nothing complicated. Just google the articles for it
When you setup the phone at first power on, you can select NO ADS.
@@StRanGerManY its not that hard to turn it off. You don't need to be techie for that.
Other countries: $200
Eastern Europe: *cough cough* you mean *$600* right?
Western too
600$ is too much for this phone
actually is local seller that was playing with the price to get more profits, so yeah dont blame it on the company
I have an iPhone 12 but still I'll choose my trusty old X3 anyday anytime. Been 2.5 years and still running strong. I love it so much I'm gonna have it's battery replaced and run it for a few more years ❤️
Very nostalgic, I remember when the POCO F1 was released two years ago, same reactions ‼️‼️
But it didnt have ads, and had 800 series flagship processor
The reason it has NFC in the name is because there are 2 versions of the X3, 1 with NFC and 1 without. The one without also has a bigger battery.
2 versioms are for different countries
@@Mhmd__Malik_ yah
Yeah maybe he didn't know that
Phone manufacturers: Stop yeeting our box..
POCO: We will make a hard one for him...
@Public Enemy #1 Poco is now an independent brand, just like Realme
The sticker was backwards because many people love to take mirror selfies, and the that inverted sticker will show the name of the company clearly, so the sticker was mirrored.
Built-in ads: Hi
Xda: Goodbye
Blessed XDA

A good tip for x3 users, you can increase the performance of this phone by using the developer option - animation, etc.
How do I do?? that can you explain??
@@touyatodoroki6089 developer options are usually in the about phone section of the settings. just click on kernal version a bunch of times and it will show that you are a developer now. this will unlock developer settings in the settings app. there you can change the animation options.

Title: The shady truth
First 5 minutes: OMG
Exactly
But for the price, best
If they make like a 400$ I bet its unbeatable
Install custom roms on this x3 and get rid of MIUI entirely. Install GCam and camera will be improved even further. Problems solved
I got this phone, it's absolutely worth the money. I was skeptical at first, but after I got it I loved it.
Im planning on buying this phone. Do you advise me to buy it?
@@SPARTAK765 yes, it depends. If you are going to buy this phone now for like 3 years or 4 years of use then yes. It also depends on what u r going to use it for. If you are going to use it for gaming then I recommend the Poco x3 pro or Poco F3.
No one :
Arun: I will catch you in the next one.
Shady company's: sweating.
Dude, it literally is still the miracle that it seemed at first. Since there is nothing comparable to it at this price range besides the Note 9 Pro, which has a worse screen and camera.
realme 7 pro is about as good, in some areas better, some the same, but all equal, except bat cap is 4500 on the 7 i think, and it's got 2 more gb ram for $25 more than the 128v
Redmi Note 10 pro is here
poco x3 pro is waving
Commenting this on an x3 pro. Literal miracle
@@jom_and_terry did u update your phone to miui 12.0.4? If yes then hows the pubg performance?
The "sticker" at 0:30 is actually a stick-on tattoo. That is why it's backward.
Thanks for your honest and fare review.
I just bought one, 64 gb, for 139.50 €!
