Hi there mate i am facing some screen bleeding at to bottom part if chin and many other Indian and Philippines users. It is visible with plain wallpapers gray blue green black . can you confirm any of your device got it.
Poco is really a monster!, but the display and the battery life of mi max 3 is what im looking for, like frankie said if u love bigger phone then this is for you and this is for me. It's decided thank you frankie 😄
Awesome Drags! I think if you want the biggest phone and battery at this price range then the Mi Max 3 is your best and only choice! I know what you mean bro for the big phone lovers there is nothing better!
Planning to buy the honor play, but change my mind, overheating? that's a downside, hope it'll fix with a software update, for now I'm saving a bit more for the pocof1, thanks Frankie for the review and comparison for this 3 phones, peace...
Heating is not something fixed by software update , its metallic body plus its gpu boost which is its selling point , Is bound to get heated as it doesn't even has a liquid cooling system
Wow so fast. Already part 2. Hahaha. I just woke up and cant sleep and saw this. Great Mr. Frankie! Keep this up 👍👍😁 Lodi!! (lodi means idol here in Philippines) 😂
For overall performance: 1. Pocophone f1 2. Mi max 3 3. Honor play But if im going to base the overall performance base on my everyday usage: 1. Mi max 3 - big screen, big battery, mid range processor. I do hope that the rumors about the snapdragon 710 is real but if im not mistaken xiaomi already announce that its just a rumor. 2. Pocophone f1 - im not that a heavy game user but it may change once i experience the SD 845. 3. Honor play - those heating problems is really a big issue. I dont think i can still put it in my pocket once its heated. Overall its a good review. I do hope you can also show us the RAM management of all phones with the same apps installed but then again thumbs up for doing our request.. 👍
Thanks for the list and insights! I fall pretty much in line with what you are saying. And dang that Honor Play gets too hot! How is that a good experience for gaming if my hands will be sweating bullets while I use?! An eye opener that was really. I'll see if I can do an apps loading video at some point that tackles this RAM question. Stay tuned!
Hello! How do you get all the buttons to fit on the Pocophone for PUBG?? On mine, the "Alive" indicator cuts off, you really can't even see it. A lot of things cut off for Pubg on Pocof1. Why does your F1 not look like that on Pubg? I have MiUi 9.6 or something of sort. Not 10.
I just wanna point something, u cant compare the speed of matchmaking cuz it always random on how fast u can matchmaking. Opening the game and running it is the best way to compare them :D more power frankie always love ur reviews! Love from PH
hi frankie ! got a small question for you ...i notice you like tekken mobile as game so i wonder if can be installed into mi max 3 directly from playstore ....let me know if you can ..
WhatsApp about the screen problems and tactile problems on poco? Im thinking on buying it but had read about some of this problems...im between poco and mi max 3...
I want that huge mi max 3 screen, but poco is just incredible deal.. I really dont know what to buy... If only there was poco f1 max version i would buy it instantly
Im a student and i got a Note FE for daily use , and i recently ordered a mi max 3 for the gigantic screen and battery for my youtube and anime binge lol. The poco is a good phone if u just have 1 phone and want all roundedness but it doesnt have the stylus i use and the processor doesnt really do much for my video watching. But yeah great review, im so excited to get my huge but still pocket friendly screen (unlike a tablet)
@Frankie What do you think Pocophone F1 vs Mi 8 features, especially for Outdoor use(Thermal issue, cell network, battery life.?). Since we're in Asia, I want to know the hot weather endurance.
I don't use phone to gaming, but if I did I don't if I'd choose a bigger screen monster like the max 3, or the poco. But I'm sure I wouldn't like my hands to melt lol
Hehe well I think both are good options, but the Honor Play is really just marketing hype at this point, I think this video proves that trying to be a gaming phone, but it’s not even really the best gaming phone! And it gets soo hot!! An unpleasant gaming experience seriously.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Just sucks not to have LTE band 4 on the phone. Otherwise I would have bought it. Bought my xiaomi redmi note 4x from HK and still love it. Hope they add the other bands for their next release. Cheers
In Pocophone it seems there is a problem about notification icons in the status bar. (No icons show up) and we have to pull down to see the notifications, battery percentage, download speed etc. And it can not be corrected by software update, as the space is too less because of the oversized notch.
I know I been lame but im in bit of confusion between mi8 and poco although I like the poco but so many people point out that headphones 3.5 in the poco has a crappy output so what do you think about the output? Once again thanks bro
Ordered the Poco F1 for my son, and the Mi Max 3 for myself. I love big display & battery, while my son enjoy one hand devices and gaming. Lots of bang for your buck these days, and XIAOMI delivers top of the mid range phones. Huawei seems to struggle with their SOCs at this time. Seems much better to stick with Snapdragon, due to performance and battery drain.
I do. The phone is amazing. But yet the camera is laggy even i use the open camera it get stuck and bluetooth has some issues connection to my headset. Hope they will send updates soon
I wouldn't expect a price drop in the near future. Pure demand will if anything push the price up a little for the short term. Some Chinese suppliers have increased the price this weekend already. By £25... 😭🙈
@@PathToPeaceMoe At this moment I would defiantly go for the poco f1 over the m8 . I'm gonna buy one as my second phone for raw speed you just can't beat it. The camera is the same as the m8 so no difference there. If you get chance try and watch last weeks official video its about 1hr 18 mins on you tube. I watched it tonight and was highly impressed. It certainly made my decision for me. I just need to decide which colour to go for. I know Frankie loves his red colour but I'm thinking of going for the blue at the moment. Good luck with your decision 👍
Was waiting for mi max 3 but Honor play came in. So was unsure which one to get. Then came Mr.Poco with a huge surprise. Bang for the buck. Now I'm a proud owner of Mr.Poco.
Thanks! Yeah I know that I was tough on the Honor Play, but the reality is that Huawei and Honor have hyped it up as a gaming phone, but it’s not even the best gaming experience at it’s price! It’s all marketing hype! Pocophone is just overall the better option, even for gaming (SD 845 w/ liquid cooling, good display, 4000 mAh battery, dual speakers)
poco was one of my first choices but after i searched it up...their problem with the notch....screen bleeding...overheating.....i knew i had to pick other options lol and now i want max 3.
Are there a lot of difference in terms of performance between mi max 3 and poco f1? For just normal using? Thank you a lot 😘 you are the unique person in terms of everything related to phones, in fact there is no someone like you in all UA-camer, your vedios are full of details and a lot of useful information, Thank You My friend 😁
bro this review is crystalbvler,is there a option for changing vibration intensity for calls and messages in poco f1 like the one plus 6 n also teme how good the vibration is.? Is the vibration equal to one plus 6.pls answer this question
Thanks Kylie, hmm haven’t really tested the other two, but pretty sure the Honor Play is the best of those three (Kirin 970). But if you can get Pocophone F1 then do it, it’s a better gaming experience and will be much more future proof than the rest!
Next time when you play pubg please put all the phones into the same team so you don't screw over other guys game. The video was very informative. I'm planning to buy the pocophone. It will be a nice replacement for my Nexus 5
Im gonna get the poco f1 once it get discounts..$200-250 with matured software updates might trigger me,like i said too bad i got the mimax3 too early though
@@FrankieTech yeah..mimax3 will be a beast for drones anyway,poco f1 might replace it as dailydriver..anyway good review and insight man, appreciate it a lot
Cracked screen on my OG Mi Max, and been trying to get hold of a Mi Max 3 since they came on Aliexpress, now poco phone is out its hard deciding between them, just don't know if I could go smaller then 6.4" again
I have had my Honor Play for about 6 months now. Overall, it has been a pretty decently performing phone, but I hate it. Why? Because of EMUI. After using EMUI for 6 months I have grown to absolutely hate it. It's a shame, because if it weren't for that I'd love the phone for its performance at such a low price. I got my Honor Play for only £200 refurbished, which was an incredible deal, but I simply don't enjoy using EMUI. It doesn't really affect my daily usage of the phone, I just hate the experience, along with the grimy, stingy feel of the software. It also gets very hot when gaming, and the Mali GPU can't do much in more demanding games. One issue that is a real issue to me is, since updating to Android 9, I cannot use my HyperX Cloud II headset with the phone *unless the microphone is plugged in.* This means I can't use my headphones outside of the house without looking like a buffoon. Before updating to Android 9, I could use 3rd party apps to force the audio to the headphone jack, even if there was no audio device detected, but Android 9 blocks that completely. I am considering selling my Play and buying a Mi Max 3 instead. The Mi Max 3 was the phone I originally wanted, but my dad told me not to because it was a global version not a 'UK official version'. (Sorry for the negativity! I tend to rant a lot :p)
Great review, question Frankie do you have also this issue with the pocophone: forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/help/check-poco-f1-touch-problem-t3837133 ? I hope not!
Xiaomi must send you a free pocophone, we all know you were just being honest by saying your thoughts and opinion but, come on! You are a big help for people who are admiring pocophone same as I.
Hi. Great video. Im in the market for the best deal for the price smartphone so it was very helpful. Im almost convinced that its the POCO (as soon as they launch a Global Version with all LTE bands) but recently another beautiful beast came up: the Mi8 SE. All the great materials of a Mi8 with a superfast SD710 and almost the same price as de MiMax3. So Im lost again. Any thoughts? Thumbs up to Frankie Tech and to Xiaomi!
Thanks Wilfredo! I reviewed the Mi 8 SE a while back, and while it had a lot of great features I think overall the Pocophone F1 still provides better value (SD 845, Faster data speeds, Larger screen albeit not AMOLED). Also the Mi 8 SE has only ever been released in China, and it will likely never have a Global release, so I think you would probably be better served by Pocophone F1 with more broad LTE band support. Hope this helps!
Yeah exactly Rolly! But it looks like Honor Play fanboys are not really happy with my findings, I’ve had to delete a number of abusive comments on this video. People just don’t want to hear the truth: Poco is a better phone for gaming than the Honor Play!
Man you should press the ok button after you customize the graphic settings Im sure that it is not applied because after you adjust the graphics you suddenly press the back button😅😅😅😎😎😎😎
dude poco phone is good only in the few weeks u get it after the heavy duties and long use gaming and others stuffs the hidden secrets of pocophone starts to show like the screen bleeding and hanging of some apps even woudnt let me download some apps on play store ,i had to switch to honor play which av been using for a month now i play games alot trust me av not had issues with over heating its just normal as normal as pocophone though just a bit slightly hot but trust me honor is bae

love your video
Hi there mate i am facing some screen bleeding at to bottom part if chin and many other Indian and Philippines users. It is visible with plain wallpapers gray blue green black . can you confirm any of your device got it.
I just finished watching part one and you immediately uploaded!
Perfect timing then!
3:55 YOU HAD TO PRESS [OK] in pubg to register the graphics settings. Can't fool us..!
Mi Max 3 is perfect for me. because It's screen is a monster and so as the battery too with 5500 mah!
Poco is really a monster!, but the display and the battery life of mi max 3 is what im looking for, like frankie said if u love bigger phone then this is for you and this is for me. It's decided thank you frankie 😄
Awesome Drags! I think if you want the biggest phone and battery at this price range then the Mi Max 3 is your best and only choice! I know what you mean bro for the big phone lovers there is nothing better!
Damn, Frankie !!!!!! Nobody is doing this on UA-cam. .... Sir, we salute you !!!!! You are a true blessing to all the USA
Thanks Jebidiah! It's an Honor my friend to all my American viewers! All the best on this long Labor Day weekend and cheers from Hong Kong!
Planning to buy the honor play, but change my mind, overheating? that's a downside, hope it'll fix with a software update, for now I'm saving a bit more for the pocof1, thanks Frankie for the review and comparison for this 3 phones, peace...
Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Heating is not something fixed by software update , its metallic body plus its gpu boost which is its selling point , Is bound to get heated as it doesn't even has a liquid cooling system
was about to get the pocophone too but i heard some issues bout its screen that fragiles~
right now is waste for buying phones, wait one month and new kirin will come out, also pocophone build quality and gorilla glass 3 in 2018???
For me I think all glass screen are fragile, it'll break at some point, so I guess it's a matter of how you take care of your stuff.
Wow so fast. Already part 2. Hahaha. I just woke up and cant sleep and saw this. Great Mr. Frankie! Keep this up 👍👍😁 Lodi!! (lodi means idol here in Philippines) 😂
East or West Pocophone is the best....
Nice rhymes bro! Haha
Really waiting for the part 2.. damn fast... Maybe for future vid can include temp device..
Hey bro! Great video! I hope u could tell me where to get that wallpaper on ur pocophone. :)
Love your videos man!
I just ordered my poco f1 because of your reviews and I recieve it tomorrow
Couldn't be more excited!
Thanks bro! I appreciate the support! Enjoy Poco bro!
nice. best effort by frankie. part 2 right away.
Hi Frankie, I would suggest you to buy a temperature tester tools for heating test. Otherwise, your review is great keep it up! =)
Thanks for the suggestion Adam! That's the next tool on my to get list after my light meter! Stay tuned!
For overall performance:
1. Pocophone f1
2. Mi max 3
3. Honor play
But if im going to base the overall performance base on my everyday usage:
1. Mi max 3 - big screen, big battery, mid range processor. I do hope that the rumors about the snapdragon 710 is real but if im not mistaken xiaomi already announce that its just a rumor.
2. Pocophone f1 - im not that a heavy game user but it may change once i experience the SD 845.

I'll see if I can do an apps loading video at some point that tackles this RAM question. Stay tuned!
Mi max 3 is winner
Liquid cooling on poco f1 does really a great job on dissipating the heat. Great comparison btw
So the liquid cooling technology works well. Thanks for the video frankie👌👌 my all doubts about the phn got solved. Thanks😎😎
Poco F1 is a Truly BEAST
We Love it
thanks :)
All of Huawei's Honor phones have heating issues when used at their highest performance mode. Its great to see Poco F1's liquid cooling work wonders!
Hello! How do you get all the buttons to fit on the Pocophone for PUBG?? On mine, the "Alive" indicator cuts off, you really can't even see it. A lot of things cut off for Pubg on Pocof1. Why does your F1 not look like that on Pubg? I have MiUi 9.6 or something of sort. Not 10.
please make a camera comparison for those phone, including honor note 10 too, if you don't mind..
I just wanna point something,
u cant compare the speed of matchmaking cuz it always random on how fast u can matchmaking.
Opening the game and running it is the best way to compare them :D
more power frankie always love ur reviews!
Love from PH
Nice one when you do the video test on Pocophone F1 if there is stabilisation issues can it use open camera software
great work man !
big like
Thanks Omar!
Good job frankie.. Honest review thumbsup and more power..
Thanks bro!
hi frankie ! got a small question for you ...i notice you like tekken mobile as game so i wonder if can be installed into mi max 3 directly from playstore ....let me know if you can ..
Thank you bro for another awesome content! 😁
Watching 360p... Waiting for 1080p resolution on to become available... 😂😂😂
WhatsApp about the screen problems and tactile problems on poco? Im thinking on buying it but had read about some of this problems...im between poco and mi max 3...
I want that huge mi max 3 screen, but poco is just incredible deal.. I really dont know what to buy...
If only there was poco f1 max version i would buy it instantly
I feel you Nikola! For the big phone lovers I think Poco is just a little bit too small! Mi Max 3 is still the ultimate budget big phone experience!
Great review bro!!!!! New subscriber here!
You have any idea on how long battery would last when gaming non stop using f1? Hehe thanks in advance!!!
A part 2 we all need. Thank you sir it's a big help for us especially for those undecided buyers like me😊

How about battery test? Want to see bat test for pocophone f1 and mi max 3
In Pocophone it seems there is a problem about notification icons in the status bar. (No icons show up) and we have to pull down to see the notifications, battery percentage, download speed etc. And it can not be corrected by software update, as the space is too less because of the oversized notch.

It’s not bad, I think those people asking for audiophile level audio from the jack are deluding themselves.
thanx frankie good work
whats your opinion, poco or honor note 10
and what is better sd845 or kirin 970
Poco all the way! SD 845 is far more future proof than Kirin 970!
what's the best in terms of camera?
Thanks Frankie,nice comparison
where did you get the cool wallpaper on poco f1 ??
Yeahhh bro wher'd u get that wallpaper so cooll ♥
@@mauidelacruz6942 yeah cool right
Ordered the Poco F1 for my son, and the Mi Max 3 for myself. I love big display & battery, while my son enjoy one hand devices and gaming.
Lots of bang for your buck these days, and XIAOMI delivers top of the mid range phones. Huawei seems to struggle with their SOCs at this time. Seems much better to stick with Snapdragon, due to performance and battery drain.
Hey frankie. Watching this on my new redmi note 5
Nice enjoy it bro!
I do. The phone is amazing. But yet the camera is laggy even i use the open camera it get stuck and bluetooth has some issues connection to my headset. Hope they will send updates soon
Hey Frankie do you think the price will drop lower then $300 for this phone in the next month?
I hope so!
Frankie Tech me too anyways great job as always with the reviews.💪👍👍
I wouldn't expect a price drop in the near future. Pure demand will if anything push the price up a little for the short term. Some Chinese suppliers have increased the price this weekend already. By £25... 😭🙈

Humble request-
Sir, How is speaker loudness compared to Note5 pro?
I have had my Honor Play for about 6 months now. Overall, it has been a pretty decently performing phone, but I hate it. Why? Because of EMUI. After using EMUI for 6 months I have grown to absolutely hate it. It's a shame, because if it weren't for that I'd love the phone for its performance at such a low price. I got my Honor Play for only £200 refurbished, which was an incredible deal, but I simply don't enjoy using EMUI. It doesn't really affect my daily usage of the phone, I just hate the experience, along with the grimy, stingy feel of the software. It also gets very hot when gaming, and the Mali GPU can't do much in more demanding games. One issue that is a real issue to me is, since updating to Android 9, I cannot use my HyperX Cloud II headset with the phone *unless the microphone is plugged in.* This means I can't use my headphones outside of the house without looking like a buffoon. Before updating to Android 9, I could use 3rd party apps to force the audio to the headphone jack, even if there was no audio device detected, but Android 9 blocks that completely. I am considering selling my Play and buying a Mi Max 3 instead. The Mi Max 3 was the phone I originally wanted, but my dad told me not to because it was a global version not a 'UK official version'. (Sorry for the negativity! I tend to rant a lot :p)

Awesome bro! Enjoy it!
Got my mi Max 3, you've been awesome Frankie, thanks
Thanks Ekechukwu! Hope you enjoy the Mi Max! Still the ultimate big budget phone experience!

I don't know if watching your vids is a good thing.. You just make me want that poco soooo bad!! Lol.

Xiaomi nailed it with the pocofone f1, probably the best phone for 21k here in India.

Thanks Wilfredo! I reviewed the Mi 8 SE a while back, and while it had a lot of great features I think overall the Pocophone F1 still provides better value (SD 845, Faster data speeds, Larger screen albeit not AMOLED). Also the Mi 8 SE has only ever been released in China, and it will likely never have a Global release, so I think you would probably be better served by Pocophone F1 with more broad LTE band support. Hope this helps!
Yep. I love that phone. Thanks a lot!!
pocophone really make waves! inborn gpu boost rather than marketing. hehehe...
Yeah exactly Rolly! But it looks like Honor Play fanboys are not really happy with my findings, I’ve had to delete a number of abusive comments on this video. People just don’t want to hear the truth: Poco is a better phone for gaming than the Honor Play!
@@FrankieTech they are bitter because they have bought the honor play already and Poco suddenly comes out of nowhere.
Hey frank you miss the okay button in the PUBG MOBILE graphics
Tnx bro..now i m compused..mimax3 or pocoF1 ??
Do you want a huge screen and weaker specs or smaller screen and flagship specs
Mi max 3 is better
I like your vids but speed comparisons by opening apps is useless. Many factors in play such as the manufacturers standard animation settings etc.
Man you should press the ok button after you customize the graphic settings
Im sure that it is not applied because after you adjust the graphics you suddenly press the back button😅😅😅😎😎😎😎
Notification squad where y'all at?
only in my dream of this phone 😥😥😥😥
Mi max is a great device but u will be missing some stuff...poco and honor are performance beasts.
Poco f1 has it all for now, well in battery of course max dominates here but still Poco has above average battery...doing great...lol
Yeah Poco is really the total package!
Poco f1 best budget gaming phone
Yes it is! The winner by far!
Can't wait to get my hands on that phone! Thanks again man for this review,
Amazing video as always poco f1 is the best
Not cosidering price.. Compare Honor Note 10 and Poco please..
Yes the chin is quite big in poco f1 bt the pricing solves evrythng.
Why don't you use mi max 3 pro
dude poco phone is good only in the few weeks u get it after the heavy duties and long use gaming and others stuffs the hidden secrets of pocophone starts to show like the screen bleeding and hanging of some apps even woudnt let me download some apps on play store ,i had to switch to honor play which av been using for a month now i play games alot trust me av not had issues with over heating its just normal as normal as pocophone though just a bit slightly hot but trust me honor is bae
¿Pocophone F1 vs Mi 8? ¿What is best?
