        is it really that different?

        edit: https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/qualcomm-snapdragon-87…

        hmmmm, I'd actually say it is from a performance perspective, but not battery life

          the Snapdragon 860 and 870 are basically just slightly overclocked 855, and 865 respectively.
          So the 2019 and 2020 flagship chips recycled.
          Most people won't notice the difference though, they are both great.
          The bigger difference is in the screen (and maybe cameras, but I'm not too sure)

    • fatice on 25/09/2021 - 18:27

      I need microSD support. So I prefer X3 Pro.

      • HeyPapito on 25/09/2021 - 20:46

        usb c to micro sd reader?

        • fatice on 26/09/2021 - 15:40

          A pick tail on the phone is not desirable. Unless there is an 180 degree USB-C OTG micro sd reader with fast charging passthrough. e.g. micro sd can be plugged at the back of the phone via an OTG reader that swing the microsd to the back of the phone, and it is compatible to all its casing, and it can support the USB-C fast charging protocol.

    • Zylam Marex on 25/09/2021 - 18:46

      Personally would pick F3 because of the OLED screen, a shame they gave the X3 Pro an LCD panel. Would have beat the F3 in terms of value for money.

    • Jec on 25/09/2021 - 19:38

      If you can afford either*, this.
      If you can't, X3 Pro.

    I wish this had an alert slider like the OP phones… legit alert slider is the only thing keeping me with that brand…Anyone have the phone can speak to the screen dimming issue?

    • Zylam Marex on 25/09/2021 - 18:40

      I used to care about the alert slider and thought I wouldn't be able to move to a phone without one. However I've gotten really used to just hitting dnd from the notification shade. I know it's not the same but it's not life changing to lose the slider. At least in my experience.

      • Mintee on 25/09/2021 - 18:58
        +2

        I go from vibrate, no ring and ring alot… its not just dnd… :(

        • Shon on 25/09/2021 - 19:49

          Might be able to use Tasker to assign a button to change profiles.

        • Zylam Marex on 25/09/2021 - 22:37

          You can have a vibrate button next to dnd. Press the vibrate to have no ring but vibrate.
          Press the dnd to have total silence.

          • Mintee on 26/09/2021 - 14:15

            @Zylam Marex: but to me dnd means not accepting calls.

            • Zylam Marex on 26/09/2021 - 14:40

              @Mintee: Do you mean the call is not displayed on screen by that? I think we maybe misunderstanding each other. If you would like to lay out what modes you use and what happens in terms of the screen displaying the call, vibration and ringer status, then I'll see if I can let you know how to achieve those things via toggles in seconds.

              • Mintee on 26/09/2021 - 15:18

                @Zylam Marex: Ring, Phone/Notifications vibrates and rings
                Vibrate, Phone/Notifications vibrates only, no sound
                No sound, Phone/Notifications light up, but does not vibrate or sound
                DND, no sounds, no notifications except via exception

                • Zylam Marex on 26/09/2021 - 19:23

                  @Mintee: Very nice.

                  1. Ring, Phone/Notifications vibrates and rings - So this would be with no toggle activated.
                  2. Vibrate, Phone/Notifications vibrates only, no sound - This would be with Silent mode on and the Vibrate toggle activated.
                  3. No sound, Phone/Notifications light up, but does not vibrate or sound - This will be with Silent mode on and the Vibrate toggle deactivated.
                  4. DND - The DND toggle on. You can configure it to how you would like it to act in terms of screen turning on and the exceptions.

                  It is a bit of a hassle vs just toggling a physical switch but it is possible to have toggles setup in your notification shade to achieve what you like.

                  Note: This is how MiUi 12.5 toggles work, I'm not sure how other oem skins and stock Android would handle the above toggles. Also I do hope I have understood your settings, please do not purchase a Xiaomi device without having a test of the above setup first to see if it is indeed working out for you. I would hate for you to not have it to your liking based on what I have understood.

    • zjz93 on 25/09/2021 - 19:03

      what if its patented or something. surprising how little phones on the market have feature similar to that

      • [Deactivated] on 25/09/2021 - 22:22

        A slider has more chances of going bad compared to button. In cheap phones where profit is less, companies can't risk getting frequent warranty repairs.

      Depends on which model; I would probably say the OnePlus, they're generally better quality overall (and more expensive) compared to Xiaomi devices.

  • SS625 on 25/09/2021 - 19:22

      how much did you pay for your x3?

      • mangobango on 25/09/2021 - 19:55

        Yeah you're right, it's been serving me well, no issues (aside from the MIUI bugs).

        I think I paid around $330? It was from Amazon so it came with 2 years warranty which is nice.

        • MagicTsukai on 25/09/2021 - 22:21

          I paid AU$ 366.61 after GST from Aliexpress (official xiaomi store) on 2020/09/08 (shortly after release sale) and it arrived the month after.

          I don't think the warranty will be as good as Amazon, but so far no problems with mine.
          I've even flashed Pixel Experience+.

          • mangobango on 26/09/2021 - 09:26

            @MagicTsukai: Yeah AliExpress warranty is basically non-existent, but still especially with custom ROMs I don't expect these phones to break down so easily.

            How are you finding pixel experience? Smoother than MIUI?

            • MagicTsukai on 28/09/2021 - 17:46

              @mangobango: it is smoother, i like PE+ more with free unlimited photo uploads.

              MIUI is decent too though.

              • mangobango on 28/09/2021 - 19:51

                @MagicTsukai: Oh free unlimited photos is a big plus!

                What's the camera like? Can you use all the lenses or do you need to download a Gcam mod?

    • vrsac on 26/09/2021 - 06:24
      +1

      Don't!
      Poco X3 NFC has a 64MP primary and 13MP ultra wide camera as opposed to 48MP and 8MP on F3 and X3 NFC Pro. I also wouldn't buy a phone without and SD card slot and a plastic frame.
      https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=10415&idPhone2=…

      SD732 is plenty fast especially if you run a custom ROM like me. I bought mine for $350 via Amazon UK and at the time it was the best value for money phone on OZB.

      • mangobango on 26/09/2021 - 09:25

        That's true, didn't realise the camera was a bit worse on these ones! Much better CPU but I guess they had to cut corners elsewhere to keep the price down.

        Which custom rom do you use? I'm using the xiaomi.eu rom which is not bad, almost wanted to install ArrowOS but heard the camera app was horrible quality.

        • vrsac on 26/09/2021 - 10:06

            Can you still use stuff like wide angle and macro lenses with this gcam?

            • vrsac on 26/09/2021 - 14:36

              @mangobango: Like I said, everything works, including NFC payments

                @vrsac: I'll have to check it out then, thanks! I tried installing Gcam but couldn't get wide angle or macro to work (no options for them). I'll tinker around properly later and work it out.

                • vrsac on 26/09/2021 - 18:20

                    @vrsac: Actually, just tried the UltraCVM from your link (before I went to the first page of your link and grabbed an APK from there), seems like this one works with the lenses!

                    I'm not a fan of the macro smoothing though, looks very weird (even with the XML file).

                    I'll play around with it, thanks for that :)

    Have this phone and it's performance is epic for the price. Waiting for MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition though, which is supposed to fix the 120fps issues the phone has been having. 80% of the time it's ok and it doesn't drop frames, but at times it goes down to 90/100fps and you can notice the jank when scrolling.

    • HeyPapito on 25/09/2021 - 20:22

        Nothing, but we can have Bluetooth with a 3.5mm jack. They aren't mutually exclusive, and 3.5 isn't going anywhere, it's the universal standard for audio equipments. You can walk into an old bar and plug your phone into that hifi system, but you can't do that with Bluetooth.

    Incredible user experience and performance. Coming from note 8 - S20+(Exynos) - poco f3, this phone really hits the mark in terms of a high-end experience. Much smoother than my S20+ When gaming and just general browsing.

    Really not much to complain about except the camera is probably a 'mid-range' tier and is priced at that. Really weak in low light and zooming pass 2x.

    Bought the F3 8gb 256g for just under $500 shipped. Took just under 2 weeks to arrive in Melbourne. Unlocking bootloader takes 7 days, I stuffed it so it took 14. Going to load pixel or lineage rom to remove all the Chinese bloatware which sends data home. Great phone for $500. Recommend getting the 8gb/256g version for the extra few dollars. Dual Sim works great for Optus/telstra

    This or a Samsung S10 for $350 (second hand)?

    The "travel adaptor" that comes with this is turd as. I had to prop the actual charger up on some cat food tins or it would have fallen out.

    And I cant find a decent Aussie plug 33w fast charger that doesn't look like it would burst into flames… (Awesome phone though)
