00:00What's up guys, so you guys recommended that I bring the Poco F3 5G on the channel and
00:07guys I've been really impressed since I've been using this phone.
00:10This is really starting to become one of my favorite phones of this year so far.
00:14So I'm excited to bring this to you guys, so let's go ahead and get into my 5 reasons
00:18why you should pick this up for 2022, even 2023.
00:22So first up is this processor.
00:24So this phone is running the Snapdragon 870 chipset and man, this thing has not missed
00:30a beat.
00:31It is extremely fast as you can see in these benchmark scores, especially for the price
00:36that you get this phone at.
00:37I'll have the link down below, but these typically go for around $350, maybe a little bit cheaper
00:43depending on where you shop.
00:45But yeah, so the processor on here is extremely, extremely nice on here, especially for I guess
00:51a mid-range tier type of phone.
00:54Really almost running nearly a flagship processor here honestly.
00:58It feels just extremely fast, does not miss a beat.
01:02There are really no animation stutters and stuff like that.
01:05It just gets in and out of stuff really fast.
01:08Now as you guys can see, the gaming performance is going to be really nice on this phone.
01:13This is the 256 and 8 gigabyte version, which is pretty popular online.
01:18I have not seen a 6 gig version on here.
01:21This phone does not have any SD card support, but as you can see, we can go ahead and max
01:24out Call of Duty Mobile and I'll drop a full gaming test for you guys as always.
01:29But the gaming performance has been pretty good on this phone.
01:33You can do some pretty intense gaming on here really no problem.
01:37Like I said, it does not miss a beat.
01:38As far as heating is concerned, this phone does not really get that hot for me.
01:45Now like I said, I'm going to put that through the pace and just throw a bunch of intense
01:49games back to back.
01:50We'll see how it does.
01:52But as far as performance, this is a phone that you can buy and play games no problem.
01:57Really any game you throw at it, it is going to do a pretty good job here.
02:02So like I said guys, performance on this phone really, really impressed me here.
02:06It is just super fast.
02:07It plays anything you throw at it.
02:09It does not miss a beat, doesn't matter what you're doing.
02:12It is just a really, really nice experience.
02:15Alright, so next let's talk about the screen on here.
02:18You do have a 6.67 inch AMOLED display.
02:22It is 120 hertz guys and it is just really nice.
02:26It's got a full 1080p resolution on here.
02:29It's 395 for the PPI so it's a fairly sharp panel as well too when you look up close.
02:35It's a completely flat screen as well too and it even gets up to 1300 nits peak brightness
02:40so this phone does do pretty good outdoors as well.
02:43So as far as display, just watching content on here, it's just really nice.
02:48It's a very vibrant and nice display.
02:51So really like I said, zero issues playing games that support 90 frames.
02:54It's really awesome since it has 120 hertz and there's not really too much bezel on this
03:00phone as well too.
03:01I think the screen to body ratio is about 85.9% if I'm mistaken so basically 86%.
03:10So I've just been loving the screen on here.
03:12It's a really nice high quality screen.
03:14Alright so one of the next best things about this phone is the design and additional features
03:20here.
03:21So this design is just really nice.
03:22It's the arctic white color.
03:24There's a blue color as well too that I really like.
03:26But I really like how Xiaomi has the camera module set up on this phone.
03:30I think it still looks really stylish as well too.
03:34I think the only thing I don't like about the design is this branding right here.
03:40But everything else is just a really nice beautiful clean phone.
03:44It is a glass back on here and it has that really nice soft texture on here and you can't
03:50really see fingerprints.
03:51That's where I really like this white color as well.
03:54It's almost kind of like a silver color as well too.
03:56Now the railings on here, they're plastic, they're not metal.
04:01But still, in a total package, it still gives off a very premium looking phone and it still
04:06feels pretty premium as well too.
04:09This phone is IP53 dust and splash resistant as well too.
04:13So it's not quite water resistant.
04:15So what that means is that if it's raining kind of hard outside, then this phone won't
04:20break or anything like that.
04:22Alright so I got them at max volume.
04:37So if you do cover the bottom speaker, the top speaker does put in a pretty nice good
04:50amount of work and it does have pretty good bass quality.
04:53Like I said, it is loud.
04:55Are they the best and most amazing sounding stereo speakers I've heard?
04:58No, but they do get the job done so I really don't have any issues.
05:05And also this phone does have a pretty strong vibration motor as well too.
05:09So this phone does not have a headphone jack, which I would have thought would have made
05:14this phone over the top.
05:16I thought that would have been crazy if it did, but unfortunately it does not.
05:20But what this phone does have is the IR blaster, which some of you guys probably don't care
05:25about the IR blaster, but it's one thing that I love.
05:28I always love Xiaomi phones for this.
05:31So you can see you got the Mi Remote on here.
05:34I use the Poco X3 Pro and I'm going to switch to this one now as my main phone to control
05:39all the displays in my house and stuff like that.
05:42So just to be able to use one remote to control all TVs in your house and stuff like that,
05:47basically like a universal remote.
05:49These can control air conditioners and stuff like that.
05:52So I really do love the IR blaster guys.
05:55It is a really nice feature to have.
05:57Of course this phone does have NFC as well and like I said it has a lot of the features
06:03that a lot of people would really love.
06:05Also I think a very slept on feature is the fingerprint scanner.
06:08So it is a physical one and it's built into the power button and I've always loved this
06:13method since the Galaxy S10e and it works flawlessly on here too.
06:19It just feels more natural than the InDisplay one to me.
06:22So I just, I've always preferred this because you don't really think about unlocking the
06:27phone since your fingers already go into the power button.
06:32It just feels more natural.
06:33Alright guys, next is going to be the camera.
06:35So this is also one of the more impressive parts of this phone.
06:38I thought the cameras were going to be just kind of weak.
06:41I was like man there's got to be a weak spot somewhere on this phone.
06:44But the cameras were actually pretty good.
06:46So it's got a 48 megapixel standard and 8 megapixel ultra wide and then a 5 megapixel
06:51macro which a lot of people hate but I thought it was okay.
06:54It wasn't the worst.
06:55It wasn't like the 2 megapixel macros.
06:58It shoots in 4K 30 and then you also have a 20 megapixel selfie that shoots in 1080p
07:0360 on here.
07:05So image quality is actually pretty good.
07:08I was really impressed with the selfies on here.
07:11It just got skin tones really well, shockingly.
07:14I didn't like lighten my skin or anything like that.
07:17I thought that was awesome.
07:18Dynamic range is pretty good on here.
07:20It handles colors really nice as well too.
07:23The ultra wide is also pretty close to the main lens as well.
07:26It does a good job at the 2x and zooming in the shots and stuff like that.
07:31And like I said, I thought the macro was pretty good.
07:33The color science is pretty good.
07:35And honestly, believe it or not, it does somewhat of a pretty decent job in sort of like medium
07:41to low light.
07:43I was just really impressed with this phone's image quality especially for the price.
07:50And also I thought the video quality was pretty nice as well too.
07:53I took it out even in not the best lighting conditions.
07:56It was storming and raining.
07:57I just wanted to see and I'll show you guys the video.
08:00But it did a pretty impressive job.
08:02So image quality on here, you can get some pretty nice shots out of this phone whether
08:06it be the main lens camera or even the selfie cam.
08:09I was pretty impressed with image quality on here.
08:12All right guys, it is a rainy day outside here.
08:16So I thought it'd be pretty interesting to see how it just performs with all this noise
08:21and you know, not good lighting conditions, I guess.
08:26But it is doing pretty well here.
08:46What do you guys think of the video?
08:52Now you do have a pretty nice sized battery on this phone and that would be the last thing.
08:58This phone so far has had very good battery life.
09:01So it has a 4520 mAh battery, 33 watt fast charging as well.
09:07You do get the charger in the box as well too which is really nice.
09:11And then I guess the only negative thing you can say about this phone is that it doesn't
09:14have wireless charging.
09:16So if you're really into wireless charging, yes, you will miss that feature.
09:20But the 33 watts does charge pretty fast.
09:23Like I said, it's not as crazy as we saw with that 120 watt charging with the Note 11 Pro.
09:30But this does charge at a pretty decent speed which I really like.
09:34Screen on time, you can easily go for all day.
09:37So I do consider this an all day phone getting over 6 hours of screen on time.
09:42So battery life is pretty good on here.
09:44So I'm pretty impressed with the Poco F3 here.
09:47You got 5G, you got the 120 hertz.
09:50You got a great design, you got a fast chip on here, good cameras.
09:55It's just a really solid phone for the price point.
09:58So very impressed.
10:00What do you guys think about this phone?
10:01Be sure to let me know and I'll catch you guys in the next one.
