The phone looks and works awesome. The issue to me is it doesn't feel like it has a 4520mah battery inside, it consumes around 2.3% of battery every 1 hour standby on mobile network and WiFi turning off, with dual SIM (1) on LTE prefered and (2) on 2G only.
It consumes far less battery when you turn on the battery saver though.
Leaving it overnight without battery saver will consume around 10~20%. Whereas with battery saver turned on, it'll consume only 1~2%, from 10pm till 7am.
I'm using the 8+256 white colour version.

After charging the phone a few times, should be 4 or 5, the battery life seems to have improved.
However, it still can’t last as long as my previous Huawei Mate 20 or Vivo V20 which has a smaller 4000mah battery, probably it is because of the 120hz screen.

It's bad on battery on first out-of-box usage. You'll see improvement after changing the phone one or two times.

For me, it's no, as depleting the battery completely is not recommended and bad to battery health.

Xiaomi is going to launch Mi 11X which has an identical specs as this Poco F3.
I believe it should be much more optimized after finding issues on Poco F3, and probably more expensive version and also hoping Xiaomi won't neglect the Poco users.

Have you applied a full screen tempered glass SP which also covers the front camera?

As mentioned by sadaniel, 2) Supposedly proximity sensor will only do it's job when the phone is in upright position.

You are correct, those are for the Indian market. Nevertheless, India is getting the PRO version too, wondering when will Poco F3 Pro launch here.

Definitely ready stock because it could be add into your cart now but with no promo price.
Promo price will only be reflected on 5.5.
For those wish to get the 8+256, they may need to click on 12am.
whereas for those wish for 6+128, I suggest to wait till 10pm because there was an extra RM60 voucher for the last minute purchase on 27/03. Not sure it’ll happen again.

Probably yes since the price will only change to promo price at 12am 5/5 flash sale.
If you're planning to get 8+256 white, you may need to do so at 12am sharp. For 6+128, I believe you may not need to hurry cause the 1st and 2nd sale were still available at night time.

BTW, does anyone know why blue colour is not sold yet? Is Xiaomi plans to sell the blue colour for the PRO version only?

VoLTE appears on drag-down screen on wifi.

VoLTE does not show up on Wifi.

VoLTE appears when mobile data turn on.


I'm on Hotlink, so there's no VoWifi since Hotlink has yet to activate it. And, running MIUI 12.0.3.
Anyway, the calls are on HD, I couldn't care less.

Digi had a network disruption throughout the country, it could be the problem why your VoLTE disappeared.

Come to think of it, if it isn't the bloatware, we may not getting a flagship-like phone at mid-ranged price.
If we really don't want bloatware, then we need to be ready for a price like ONE+ 9 at RM3699.
Furthermore, we can just uninstall what we don't want in a few minutes.

There was no early bird price for any Redmi Note 10 Pro.
Only the low specs Redmi Note 10 (4+64) did which was RM50 cheaper @ RM649 (NP: RM699).

It’s probably the Redmi K40 Gaming in China, which sold as Poco F3 GT for global version.

I also got one , I bought the 8+256 white one.

I don't how Poco roll out the OTA update, you may need to 'check for update' every a few days, wait patiently .

Definitely not, I received the update 12.5.1 this morning after checking for update whereas I received the previous update 12.0.3 about 3 weeks later from the day someone posted about it here.
BTW, my 'receive updates early' is off.

Go and search seller with 10% unlimited coins CB at Shopee.
RM1399 - 139.9 = RM1259.1
However, you'll still need to fork out RM1399 firstly.

You’ll never regret getting this ibywind tempered glass screen protector because their surface feels smoother than the phone actual screen, attracts less fingerprints and looks cleaner.
