@@jexzamycorpuz1472 Oh man I would have been pissed if I got this phone lol. No headphone jack _and_ no SD Card slot. Yea I have no idea. If your budget was higher I'd say get the Motorola Edge S instead... if you don't need 5G the Poco X3 Pro is a better phone for the same price as the Realme 7 5G. None of these phones support fast 5G bands anyways.
Thanks for the review! In your experience, has xiaomi /poco ever released a patch that added EIS or increased the audio bitrate? And congrats on 400k subs, you deserve it!
Eis not sure but audio bitrate will not be changed. Your stuck with 256 in stock cam. Gcam will unlock it up to 320kbps however we need to wait till someone upload a gcamvid to confirm audio bitrate. Moreover, for gcam support for dimensity chip is limited. Wouldn't keep high hopes unless device peeks gcamdevelopers interest.
Hi Chris. I saw in another video review that apparently, enabling HDR mode on the front camera video mode disables EIS. Can you try recording without HDR and see if EIS works?
Okay thanks I can confirm it works if you disable HDR which is on by default which must be a bug. Since I review out of the box no tweaks I didn't catch that.
I don't know if the price premium is worth it over the X3 Pro and considering other drawbacks. Would you mind a huge comparison video vs the X3 Pro? Thanks.
Nice presentation as always, i personally prefer the poco x3 pro instead. Same panel, same battery, small difference in cpu, and has sd and 3,5 jack. Cameras are not my first priority so... Nice to see you again
In the Philippines, the price is 12990 (6GB/128GB) / 15,990 (8GB/256GB) pesos. This review has convinced me a lot to buy this unit. As always, I love your in-depth reviews man! keep it up!
hi. i need suggestion, i am a gamer and looking for budget gaming smartphone and i think poco phones are one of the best in the price and performance criteria. but what can you recommend, poco x3 pro, x3 gt or the f3?

gsmarena has released the review. turns out I was right. Upon my research I also discovered the Realme Q3 Pro, beats the X3 Gt easily. In the end, I give my choice to the X3 Pro because it is a larger phone/display with features I'd use occasionally
Interesting... this phone is kinda comparable to last year's Mi 10T. I feel like the Mi 10T is better all around, but I guess this phone is slightly better with the chipset since it's a 2021 flagship Mediatek chipset instead of a 2020 SD 865. Poco F3 though is a better competitor than this though imo
I was pretty disappointed with my last phone that I got following UA-cam recommendations (Redmi Note 9 pro). Its general cell reception is pretty weak, and this isn't something that is covered in most phone reviews. I wish Chris would use a util to show the dBs of gain from his local tower and do a general comparison of reception against other phones - like he does with WiFi reception. I actually get no cell reception in a lot of places that my old phone gave me a couple of bars. Now I'm afraid to try another Redmi if antenna design is such a weakness for them.
@@someoneyouneverknow7529 RedMi Note 10 Pro?, well yes and no, the built quality of the phone is superb, and also nice camera's and specs, but has UFS 2.2 and a little weak snapdragon
I'm not sure I can live with only 256GB of storage. That means I'd have to think about what shows/music/book I'd like to peruse while out of network, every time, instead of just dumping a bunch of stuff once and for all.
This is the best value for performance phone you can get on the market and a well-rounded device but I do feel it needs to be a bit lower at its current price as some people would prefer to have an AMOLED panel and QSD chipset with the POCO F3.

Notification light available in this phone ?
What about toughness .. like if it fall down accidentally from your hand or your pocket does it outstand these falls ?
All depends on how it lands and if you use a case it will okay.
what was the 5g download speed?
8MP isn't enough for 4K, it requires 8.3MP at least. So I believe there's no chance for 4K for ultra wide. If someday it arrives, then it would be some kind of upscaling or interpolation.
