      Same here

    • garylau on 02/04/2021 - 19:19

      I ordered the x3 pro 8gb too. I was wondering is it worth cancelling it and buy this. Main concern is the screen. My son uses phone quite some time I am worried about his eyes. other than that, there is not much of difference.

      • stephendt on 02/04/2021 - 20:44

        My eyes went square from using a phone too much, gotta be careful

  • Bigboomboom on 02/04/2021 - 13:00

    Apart from the screen I think this is a step down from Poco F2 Pro, which has better main camera and full screen display. The battery life on F2 Pro is also better, as SD870 is basically overclocked SD865 and consume more battery.

    It is cheaper though, a lot cheaper when compare launch price.

    • Kaise on 02/04/2021 - 13:18

      You're comparing the standard to a last gen pro variant. Previous pro variants have always been very close if not better in some aspects to the newer gen standard models.

      • Bigboomboom on 02/04/2021 - 13:32
        +2

        The thing though is that the K20/30/40 the difference between pro and non pro was only the chip and camera. Build, screen and battery were all the same, however this generation seems to be a step down in term of battery life. Despite the near similar capacity, even when running at 60Hz from the X3, X3 Pro and F3 all have worse battery life than previous K30/K30 Pro or Redmi Note 9 Pro (similar screen size, SoC and battery capacity).

        For example RMN9P is almost the same as X3 but battery last 20% longer when both run at 60Hz.

    • samehada on 02/04/2021 - 13:33

      what was the launch price for F2 Pro?

      • Bigboomboom on 02/04/2021 - 13:54

        It was U$500? I think?

        • samehada on 02/04/2021 - 13:57

          then how can it be cheaper than this?? Oh, you mean this one is cheaper.

          • Bigboomboom on 02/04/2021 - 14:54

            @samehada: Yes I meant F3/K40 is cheaper than K30 Pro/F2 Pro, by quite a bit. But looks like they cut corners in term of optimisation though. Same chip, same screen size, yet F2 Pro is much better in term of battery life even if battery capacity is quite similar.

    • zjz93 on 02/04/2021 - 23:59

      This has better camera and you cant just assume that it will have worse battery life because the processor is better

      • Bigboomboom on 03/04/2021 - 00:16
        +1

        Wrong phone but here's the correct comparison
        https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3?idPhone=7454
        Poco F3
        114h
        23:40h 15:58h 19:02h

        Poco F2 Pro
        120h
        36:26h 16:45h 25:16h

        Better on all front, almost 1.5x times calling and a good 25% more on video playback. Poco F2 Pro also have bigger main camera (1/1.72" > 1/2"), better Ultrawide (13MP 1.12µm > 8MP).

        • zjz93 on 03/04/2021 - 01:00

          Megapixels dont mean everything. Newer phones tend to come with more updated image processing that would produce better images

          As for battery life, it is understandable that it is slightly worse than f2 pro since it is brighter and runs at double the refresh rate.

          • Bigboomboom on 03/04/2021 - 08:49
            +1

            @zjz93: And you think GSMarena doesn't standardised their battery test? Calling duration also has very little to do with the screen. Also it runs at 60Hz when playback video and is considerably dimmer (716 nits) than F2 Pro (860 nits). You once again assume things.

            And we don't have to speculate, they already posted F3 review and they look worse than F2 Pro in camera department.

              @Bigboomboom: Looking at this test

              F3 kicked the X3 Pro's butt with a smaller battery

              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6FOgJPRsOA

              The f2 pro has a bigger battery 4700 vs 4350?? and the AMOLED is only 500 nits?

              • Bigboomboom on 03/04/2021 - 12:25

                @[Deactivated]: Not sure what you are on about…

                Poco F2 Pro max brightness is 850 nits and Poco F3 is 4500mAh battery, only 200mAh smaller than F2 Pro. Just read the review on GSMArena, don't assume.
                https://www.gsmarena.com/poco_f3-review-2248p3.php
                https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_poco_f2_pro-review-2116p3.ph…

                If you refer to manual 500 nits, the F3 is also 500 nits manual. Auto Boost the F3 only manages 700 nits while F2 Pro does 850 nits. The very much better video playback & call endurance tells me that either SD870 consumes lots more energy than SD865 or F3 is terribly unoptimised compared to F2 Pro. These tasks has nothing to do with 120Hz screen as they both default to 60Hz in these tasks, and they are not heavy computing tasks.

            • jlogic on 07/04/2021 - 16:15

              @Bigboomboom: Displaymate had the Poco F3 coming in with the same brightness as the F2 Pro on an all white screen. Reaches 1000 with 50% content.

              However whatever the issue is, the Poco F3 has a dimming issue, whether it is due to heat or a software bug, we don’t know yet.

    * 3.5mm headphone jack
    * Gorilla Glass 6 (vs 5)
    * Dual-LED flash (vs single)

          the shitty part is that Shopback doing 6% on Clothes and crap to get a higher % showing than CR but when you look closely it is only 2% for mobile phones compares to CashRewards 5% on all categories.

          You can re-order and cancel the first order, you may need to use another Aliexpress account since you can only redeem the code once. Lesson learnt, need to check the details.
