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

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.

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

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.

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

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 🤣

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

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. 😄

Malaysian spec listed on Lazada, yes it's got NFC

Me too, but unfortunately, the Poco F3 launch seems like a Poco X3 situation, no demo sets in Xiaomi Official Stores, need to go over to third-party resellers like DirectD for a hands-on. And it should take about 1/2 weeks after launch for a hands on and by then, it would be selling at the RRP of RM1699 instead of RM1499.

If we're comparing the camera between Note 10 Pro and Poco F3,
Note 10 Pro wins in photo taking.
F3 wins in video recording.

Realme has downgraded its status from Redmi/Poco competitor, to Oppo/Vivo competitor...

Meanwhile Samsung, although can't compete with Redmi/Poco, have focused on what it can provide that Redmi/Poco can't~

Absolutely correct, since the Note 10 Pro does not have any kind of video Stabilisation at all(No EIS nor OIS).
Poco F3 has EIS to stabilise the video, but the video quality is on par with other phones in its price point.

Therefore, the Note 10 Pro has near-flagship photos and entry level videos.
The Poco F3 has photos and videos that are on par with others in its price~

Yeah, the A52/A72 takes both better photos and videos with its OIS camera system and the better 13MP wide camera takes photos that are usable(because 8MP ultra wide is quite bad on Redmi Note 10 Pro and Poco F3) , but the Snapdragon 720G may become a bottleneck in the future, unless Samsung can customise the updates to better suit the processor~

Mine even later packed at 4:07am, still not yet shipped. 😞
