    $282 including GST?

    Wow, I think I might sell my Oppo A52 and grab this.

    Extra $30 for almost twice the phone.

        Yep I noticed, just shocked is all at how cheap it is!

    • netjock on 29/10/2020 - 11:07

      Better CPU (665 to 732G), more ram (4 to 6GB).

      Please explain what is meant by twice?

      I would be all over it if it was 128GB. Actually maybe not as my A2 doesn't come out of support until mid 2021.

      • mangobango on 29/10/2020 - 11:11

        It's got a huge performance jump going from a 665 to 732G (Redmi Note 9 Pro has a 720), and the extra RAM is very helpful.

        For example, genshin impact struggles to run well on lowest settings on the A52, but Poco X3 can run it on high settings at a locked 30fps.

        It's a pretty decent performance increase, for day to day usage you might not notice it that much, but if you play games then it's a good leap, especially considering the price difference.

          • mangobango on 29/10/2020 - 12:00
            +4

            @netjock: To each their own, I feel like the performance jump is worth the extra $20-$30. Even in daily use you'll notice it (although not as much as if you play games).

            Didn't neg you, btw.

        But most people will only be able to get the $~250 price.

        I picked mine up for $265 at the time.

    How quick is post from Aliexpress lately.
    I haven’t bought anything since about 6 months ago, used to receive items within 30days.
    I went to buy a cable yesterday from a place I have bought before and Ali says post expected around Jan/Feb!. I didn’t buy.

    • Balls on 29/10/2020 - 09:54

      it's really random lately, ive had things coming in between 1 to 2 weeks all the way to almost a month. might be due to covid

      would not trust any of the expected posting time, could swing either way.

    • mangobango on 29/10/2020 - 09:56

      Around a month or two, it depends.

      I ordered some stuff at the end of August, received about 5 of the items within 1.5 months, still waiting on the other few.

      But for the official Mi Store, it shouldn't be heavily delayed or anything, but still expect around a month.

      Says estimated delivery Nov 23rd if ordered today.

      • PVA on 29/10/2020 - 10:00

        Ali now says guaranteed delivery Feb (for my cable example), meaning you can report not getting the item for 3 months for a refund.

      This phone is better than the Redmi Note 9 Pro, and about $10 cheaper during the 11.11 sale.

      Very good phone for the price (on paper at least).

      Bought the redmi note 9 pro from Kogan for $369. Pretty happy with it. Be mindful of the fact that Poco is bulky.

        I have been using the Poco X3 for about 3 weeks now, I love it so far!
        Im not sure about the bulky part, I like how big the screen is haha makes watching youtube or movie a pleasant experience.

              both dont have SD card in the 10 series though

      bought on the first wave. very happy with value for money. battery life is amazing. somehow they shipped with Free Tshirt, was not in the bundle though. would recommend it over again. (poco F1 was the old one before moving on to X3)

      • jace88 on 11/11/2020 - 18:56

        How do you find the X3 compared to the F1? I'm a happy F1 user and honestly haven't felt the need to upgrade… but this seems like a bargain.

      • Jadeja on 12/11/2020 - 08:48

        I have seen noticeable upgrade in Battery, camera and Display side, UI is smooth and feels snappy. sometimes it does have glitches here and there but not major.
        google chrome is laggy sometimes. I am heavy COD Mobile user so pretty happy with the gaming performance.

      Took about 3 weeks to deliver in melbourne (free shipping)

      Bit on heavy side, but yiu get used to it. battery and screen are great, especially for the price

        Custom rom scene is a big selling point, half the reason I want to drop my oppo and get this.

        Are you able to confirm if the phone has VoLTE/VoWiFi?

    • MagicTsukai on 29/10/2020 - 10:21

      Runs perfectly smooth. Big phone but I got used to it fast. Now my old iPhone 7 feels small.

      The UI is great so far. No ads once you turn them off.
      Can run anything.

      Delivery took about a month. I remember checking daily to see tracking updates.

      10/10 so far would buy again if I had an older phone needing an upgrade.

      P.s this phone comes with a 33w fast charger and 120 Hz screen and the new iPhone 12 doesn't. :)

    • chonkie on 29/10/2020 - 10:52

      Depends what you're coming from. For me, I'd prefer it a little larger as I'm not a fan of the slimmer 20:9 screen ratio / 6.67". My existing 18:9 Mi Max 3 screen size 6.9"/ ratio is what I'm into.

    • froddoog on 29/10/2020 - 11:36

      I love my Poco X3, I think this phone is really bang for the buck!
      Everything I could ask for, big battery, big screen, smooth screen (120hz)

      About heavy part, ermmmm its just 215g, I dont think is that heavy for a phone, your muscle will get use to it after a while.

    • rwt on 29/10/2020 - 15:29

      just keep in mind
      - Poco is bulky and heavy
      - camera lens needs some protection (additional glass/film) - very easy to scratch or crack it
      - has one sys update already but still has some lugs/bugs

      all other stuff is good enough

    With phones as cheap as this, is there any point to having screen protectors or cases (implying you you don't have extremely slippery hands and like to drop things)?
    I mean, I can see myself buying a $300 Android phone every year instead of $1200+ iPhone that is supposed to last me 4 years.

    • marlee on 29/10/2020 - 10:35

      This phone comes with a clear PU case in the box as standard. I bought one for my dad, and he's quite happy with it so far. I have purchased a glass screen protector just because he's prone to dropping his phone, but it's just for peace of mind.

    • ozhunter68 on 29/10/2020 - 10:40

      I have had many phones over the years and had either temperred glass or tpu screen protectors on them all the time

      and never had scratches or cracked screen after dropping with cases on many times. Had one phone with protector

      and case for 1 1/2 years moderate use and never had screen damage. Then I took off protector for a change

      but still in case, few months later dropped it and shattered screen.

      Moral of the story, how many weeks or months do you want your unprotected phone to survive?

          You must be a careful user who does not drop it much, and most likely use a solid case too.

      $2 for a screen protector

      $8 for a case

      $10 vs paying another $280 for a new phone (when you happen to drop it when on special promotional pricing). I know what is a better return on investment.

    • taki on 29/10/2020 - 11:24

      Imagine if you add reasonable protection what you can do with the saved money (opportunity cost).

      I took the case off my phone the other day. It's so sexy without a case but god knows why they make them out of glass, it's so slippery and so god damn fragile, what a recipe for disaster.

    Great price! Been waiting for either this of the Redmi Note 9 Pro to come down in price.

    Which phone to get Poco X3 or Note 9 Pro???

    • mangobango on 29/10/2020 - 10:38
      +3

      X3 will be around $10 cheaper than the RN9Pro during the sale, and it's a better phone.

      So, X3.

    • adr8 on 29/10/2020 - 10:38

      As mangobango said, X3. Better CPU / GPU / cameras / battery / dual speakers.

      • Bugs Bunny on 29/10/2020 - 11:14
        +1

        Thanks. X3 it is then!
        Although I did hear that even though the X3 has a bigger battery, the RN9 Pro's battery lasts longer as the CPU etc don't use as much power.

        • mangobango on 29/10/2020 - 12:30

          I think it's mainly due to the 120Hz refresh rate.

          Apparently there's an option to enable adaptive refresh rate, so it won't drain as much battery trying to do 120Hz when you're watching a 30fps youtube video.

          I've seen people get 10-11 hours SoT with this.

        • sir_bazz on 29/10/2020 - 12:34

          I've read the same from from someone who had both devices.

          Seems the 120hz screen also consumes more battery than the 60hz one on the RN9P, even when configured at 60hz.

          Still though, if the X3 can be purchased cheaper than the RN9P then there's not much reason to choose the latter.

  • australiasquare on 29/10/2020 - 10:33

    Can any existing users of Xiaomi Poco advise what the OS updates & security patches are like?
    Also does it come with any bloatware?

    I am considering this phone or Nokia 5.3. The Nokia has Android One which I like very much. Hardware wise Poco X3 seems to be very good value for money but just not sure what the software experience is like?

      Had similar concers way back with getting a Redmi Note 4 and got used to it and really liked it after a while comming from a Nexus 4

      back then. Just remove as many unneaded apps and turn off add/notification permissions and enjoy many software features when needed.
