I would say this is the best bang for the buck hp. Flagship flagship killer maybe

So it will come here as poco F3.
Looking forward to replace my F1.

very likely they will rebrand it to POCO F3.

Looking forward for it too.

Price wise is very2 good, in china at least. Lower should be rmb 1999 =~ rm1250...

Anybody remember how much is the poco f2 initial price when launching in Malaysia?

POCO F2 Pro priced at RM1799.

Is there any poco f3 non pro?

Nope.

I hope they price it close to china price.

RM 1299 is very good price for vanilla K40.

Maybe 1799 if they also bring in the K40 pro.

IIRC the RRP is over 2k, which surprised many people why did flagship killers cost so much. But the eventual and quick drop in price saved it.

Hoping for 1.3k, looking forward for best bang for buck Snapdragon 8 series

too bad the Redmi k40 series camera no OIS - that a big let down

Might kill mi11 sale if they allow that

actually already did (my assumption) in China market already haha

Rm2199 poco f2 pro launch

Is it a wishful thinking that the non-pro version will costs around RM1.5k below?

I understand the Pro version can go up to 2k+ but seems to me that the non-Pro version is considered enough for an average gamer like me.

I want it to be below 1.5K too, but believe launch price likely to be 1.6-1.7K.

It dropped?

Previously i remember it's around RM2.5k

Can we flash to global rom later?

Xiaomi flagship drop faster if their launching price is >2k.

Wow

Proper flagship killer.

Well done Poco.

Nice price.

6GB+128GB - RM1,399

8GB+256GB - RM1,699

Early enjoy 100 and 200 discount respectively.

Add RM200 more from redmi note 10 pro and get SD870 Poco F3 attw

now just see what free gifts for pre-order then will get one

Ya bro, my RN10 Pro still not sent out, can cancel

Attractive ....

RM1699 price tag is very lucrative for that spec.

But I can only buy it next month

I wonder does it last long, it's xiaomi after all

Xiaomi crazy until sendiri fight sendiri

my previous mi phones all last long, u have issue with mi phones before?

Redmi Note 10 Pro hype just started then they kill the hype with their own Poco phone, reli crazy

It's available from 27th onwards.
4 days later already April.

Early bird get RM1499 for the 256GB version. Ok Poco take my money.

Redmi K40 has Super Amoled for just slightly more.. 1750 ish..

Poco F3 has Amoled only..

ermmm...

My poco f1 still working great still can last me maybe 2 more years . But rm 1699 price so attractive

Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72 basically dead on arrival.

I wish they have early bird promo for in store.

Xiaomi does not bubble wrap their shipment.

Lazada Poco official store ships from hongkong. Delivery can take 7 to 18days

I think its still the exact same display, Amoled E4, the same one on the k40

For your information, the Poco F3 is using E4 AMOLED.

https://twitter.com/POCOGlobal/status/13739...1405050881?s=19

And from what I know, the Poco F3 is the first Android phone under RM1500 with a mode similar to Apple's True Tone Display.

Normally these features are reserved for flagships.

Those who used to Samsung tend to be loyal.

Bought one before. They used big box, but no proper bubble wrap or the cheap bubble plastic.

I wonder how long before poco will be available physically in stores locally.

Rn10 series is having shortage of stock.

Ya 🙃 but to be real, unless the Mi 11X/ Mi 11 Lite coming on 29 March can smash these specs then the Poco F3 would be quite uncontested for under RM1500

which is the better buy rm10 pro or f3 pro if i don't need 5g n don't play game. better camera is better.

Seems like Samsung smelled some competition. Samsung Galaxy A52 256GB pre-order promo, drops RRP RM1499 to RM1199 to compete with Poco X3 Pro😜 but Poco F3 wins over Poco X3 Pro and Galaxy A52.

Better screen: Poco F3(Samsung E4 AMOLED, True Tone, Higher brightness)

Main Camera
Better photos: Redmi Note 10 Pro
Better videos: Poco F3(Redmi Note 10 Pro lacks EIS)

Ultra-Wide Camera & Macro Camera
Exactly the same on both models

Depth sensor
Marketing Gimmick

Front camera
Similar quality, neither one is going to wow you

just the choice of not using Super is perplexing.. lol..

Where is the poco F3 pro?

Maybe due to launch on 29 March, Redmi K40 Pro will be rebranded as Mi 11X Pro

Sudah jadi rojak ini See-How-Me... very kelam kabut the product line-ups and pricing...LOL ...

Galoxxx A-series only hope is the 3 years major OS upgrade? And no ads in the UI? Also Optical Image Stabilization? What about Ingress Protection 67?

Where did you see this

We still unsure if POCO F3 has EIS for 4k video. Wait for the full reviews from Youtube.

Redmi Note 10 Pro should have EIS in future software update(I hope).

Why so confusing ini macam

RM1199 is not bad at all, I'm surprised.

So A52 at RM1199 offers 256GB, IP67 water and dust resistant, OIS main camera(much better than EIS), a much more capable ultra wide camera than Poco F3/X3 Pro/Redmi Note 10 Pro and Samsung Pay. But yeah, besides that, Poco F3 obliterates the competition.

From the Chinese Redmi K40, videos are saying the K40 has EIS for 4K.

Should be the same for Poco F3 since each and every internal is the exact same as Redmi K40 🤣

EPP/Edu Official Online Samsung Store

can share the link?

Edu: https://shop.samsung.com/my/samsung-education-store
EPP: Chat with Samsung Live Chat

Nevermind just confirmed it, Poco F3 has EIS on UHD(4K)

https://youtu.be/UQg2StMgR-U 8:18

So basically

Better Photo: Redmi Note 10 Pro
Better Video: Poco F3

And if you want the best phone for video and photo, and I can't believe I'm saying this but the Galaxy A52 with OIS seems to have better photo and video than Redmi Note 10 Pro and Poco F3😅

Poco F3 vs X3 Pro vs Redmi Note 10 Pro Camera Review
(Photos and Videos)

https://youtu.be/-N3J774Mx5c

Main Takeaway

Photos look way nicer and more genuine on Redmi Note 10 Pro
Videos are much better on Poco F3

Xiaomi software saturation still kinda noticeable in all 3 phones but overall quite decent output in the end. 😄

poco f3 can watch 4k netflix hdr? i see the screen now is better spec compare previous.

damn now a52 at 1199 is tempting.

poco f3 1299 good buy? wanna buy to watch hdr video only. dunno netflix can get 4k hdr or not..

Looking at Poco F3 price, I am tempted to trade my F2 pro...

How u get there?
Only open for education line? New student?

This post has been edited by Zhik: Mar 23 2021, 10:16 AM

4K screen? LOL. Only Sony Experia Pro have 4K screen.

Haiya If netflix normally 4k only get hdr ma.. and also those mkv with hdr most is 4k also. but for me is hdr more important.

RM1199 is only for EPP, official price is RM1499.

RM1499 apply for the 4G units only right ? Dont think the 5G will go that price

Reasons to consider the Xiaomi poco f3

poco f3 suitable for:

-gamers
-enthusiast who change phone frequently

samsung a52 suitable for:
-photographer
-long term phone user
-normal/average user or office worker

Very well written summary. Well done.

Dilemma
6Gb or 8Gb?


128gb definitely more than enuf for me. And I don't play game so wonder whether the extra 2Gb ram will do me any good

6GB is plenty for normal usage.

I do have oneplus 6 with 8GB of ram and never even exceed 5GB ram usage at all. 6GB will be just fine.

Wondering when will Poco F3 available in stores coz it could take up to 18 days to be delivered from HK?

And RM20 and RM5 eVouchers from Samsung Pay almost every month.

Just want to ask you guys, I am considering very heavily to buy this phone dedicated for my gaming needs.
The only dilemma is the amount of RAM.
256GB is too much for me and 128GB is just nice.
But it paired with 6GB RAM.
Is it enough for my gaming needs or better go for 8GB version?

I m also play games on mobile phones.
So far i use X3 NFC, Redmi Note 9s for gaming which is 6gb of rams.........no lagging.

What game u playing? Genshin?

What games are you playing?
Mine is more to demanding games like Genshin, PUBG, Wild Rift and Mobile Legends.

If more and more games like Genshin get pushed out, you gonna start appreciate those extra RAM and internal storage more...

This post has been edited by msacras: Mar 23 2021, 04:13 PM

thanks. 6Gb variants it is then

CODM, NFS, Forza, Gear.Club.

pay me deposit i buy for u first

same here, thinking of upgrade but i kind of love my F1 .....

is only rm 200 different with 128 + 2 gb rams .... if 200 not huge amount for u, go for it.

Early bird 128GB only saved RM100, but 256GB one saved RM200 instead.

1299 vs 1499 so still rm 200

Outside of this period it will be RM300 different.

RM200 different for 128GB extra of non-expendable storage already is a steal.

8gig / 256gig = the best deal for now !!!

later chrome 64bit need min 8gb of ram... why so many ram needed...

else how they gather ur behavior n push u related ads ?

so many new phone now getting a bit confused, what is the major difference between poco f3 nad x3 pro? i read comparison btw x3 pro and redmi note 10 pro is gaming vs camera, what about f3? good in both gaming and camera?

haha later topup 200 more then can get Mi11X, then top up again and again. More and more expensive

Anyone has a working Lazada promo code to buy POCO F3?

f3 equal x3 pro plus max, so for gaming also
