Anyone know what is this? After update to miui13 got this green camera icon at top left.

this is a new feature to tell you that some apps have access to your camera.

if you enabled face unlock, then should be it.

White also very nice...my 1st F3 is white. Is a matte white......no fingerprint magnet.

got someone who's getting white. will get to see and then share what i think.

seen the black and also the blue... the blue is really nice, though some might not like that big POCO wording.

the black is really.. very normal.

thanx to all the feedback
i just dug a hole and jump it...

now pls recommend nice f3 cover...
*
i still like Xundd case. adds slight bulk, but the one for Poco F3 is a bit rounded at the sides, so, it does feel slimmer. just need to take note that xundd cases, when you place phone on it's back, might wobble a bit due to the camera bump/ protection. i wish they could smoothen then and have no bump/ wobbly. still, small issue.

also have this hybrid beatle color button case i also got from one collections on shopee. this one feels a bit wobbly/ loose at the sides, near the buttons.

so, i'd still recommend Xundd. there are some others mentioned/ suggested about 2 pages back.

as for tempered glass, i am using Ibywind right now. good value -- one pack comes with 2 TG, 1 camera protector, 1 back skin and also the plastic to help you align the TG. got it from their OS at Lazada... i think it was abt rm21 (cheaper than their shop at Shopee).

u need to shop around abit, i guess. hope that helps.

previously, never had issues with nillkin, but yeah, i think in the last 1+ year... i had like 2-3 times changed. so, moving to Ibywind now. hope it is much better.

Any similar phone can choose from in term of price range and performance
I'm using Poco f3
Want to buy for my parents but I don't want same phone with me

QUOTE(mitodna @ Apr 6 2022, 09:39 PM)
So far, no. Get different colour, different case
*
yeah, like what has been suggested... just get a diff colour. i see all 3 colours (black, white and blue) available.

at this price range, hard to find something else that is that much value for money. SD870, 8+256GB, AMOLED, 5G..

so is f3 a gamer phone?

anyway what i think 870 is the last gen processor without the overheat issue... correct me if im wrong.

888 n 8gen1 many ppl complaint the heat issue.
i think mediatek also make fun on it
*
i won't call it a gamer phone. i think it's just got got specs for the price. and yes, the SD870 less likely to have heat issue if you game, compared to sd888..

Just ordered one biji 8/256/black
Hope the delivery will have miracle to arrive earlier 😌

Does the phone come w screen protector?
Plan to get this case as recommended few pages back-> https://shopee.com.my/product/47665466/1515...11-1649400362.9

The ibywind SP from previous page fits well with this case?

Thanks
🙏

you might wanna check Xundd case. i managed to get one from local seller at rm18+ (below rm19).
https://shopee.com.my/Xiaomi-Poco-F3-K40-Ga...41-6a7cac82e4e9

i won't recommend this though. it looks nice. i got the white one (with red buttons), but the part new the buttons on the right isn't really tight fitting compared to Xundd. there's a small gap. to me, that's a fail.

Does Poco F3 has NFC? Seems like the new TnG card requires NFC enabled smartphone.

LOL  , not much different then why technology keep improving? 855 not much different with 865 , 865 not much diff with 870 , 870 not much diff with 888 , 888 not much diff with 8gen1
seriously la don make the term of "Gaming phone" become so cheap bro , a gaming phone stil a gaming phone , they offer better accessory , better quality of material , better antenna receiver , better coverage of Wireless connection , Super High Speed of Charging 67w/80w/120w.... Air Trigger button or sensor , Screen Touch pressure (like the Apple 3D Touch) , gaming phone will have their own Games Space that can Boots up Alot of Mode (like car Econ Mode , Normal Mode , Sport mode) , and normally gaming phone Games Space will have more feature than normal phone  biggrin.gif
I have a poco f3 and never claim it's a gaming phone la bro , it just a phone that very worth for the price that can run almost all games with 60hz smooth , if compare to gaming phone it stil far away la  biggrin.gif
A proton x50 with Turbo engine doesnt mean it a Sport German car bro  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  It stil a proton family car but with a very worth price and alot of flagship car feature....
*
true.

and just for discussion sake and not to d1ss anyone (really).

i also dun consider F3 a gaming phone. coz real gaming phone owners and fans might rage. plus, it would put unnecessary expectation on the F3, which isn't really fair since the 870 is like a updated version of a 2yo flagship processor (or is it 3). yeah, the Game Turbo thing on the phone is just a poor attempt at making it more game friendly -- wait till you get a call during gaming, this Game Turbo can't even handle it! plus it is also on the 10T Pro and 11T Pro.

i just call it a dem good value for money phone for now. if take white or black, it looks like any other non-gaming phones.

I receive this update, has anyone update it yet?

yes, i did by accident. it was showing as 12.5 for me (from FB group, seems a few ppl also got 12.5 but in actual fact, it's 13).

so far, ok. but i did do a factory reset after that. still new phone, so nothing much to set up.

i only made the update yesterday, so, still need more time to monitor. so far though, no issues. and not as scary as some articles have made it out to be...
