Xiaomi Poco F3 Price and Release Date In Bangladesh
The Pocophone brand is often associated with performance on the cheap, and that's probably the apt description for the latest phone we have for review - the Poco F3. It's more than that, though - it's like a flagship on the cheap, or as this other company would have called it - a flagship killer.
The Poco F3 is jam-packed with top-notch features starting with its beautiful glass body with a metal frame. The F3 has a 6.67" AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh, one of the fastest platforms available today - the Snapdragon 870 5G chip, loud stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, a versatile triple-camera setup, and a large battery with fast charging.
Poco F3 review
The rear camera is your typical budget arrangement, and that's probably the biggest cost-cutting decision to happen on the F3. There is a 48MP primary, an 8MP ultrawide shooter, and a 5MP macro enhanced with autofocus. The punch-hole at the front contains a 20MP selfie shooter. Sure, it's no real flagship, but hey, it's not too shabby either.
The Poco F3 is among the first phones to employ the enhanced version of last year's Snapdragon 865. That's the new Snapdragon 870, which should be about 10% faster. Paired with that 1080p screen, the hardware should also be doing a fabulous job in graphics-intensive tasks, too.
Poco F3 review
The Poco F3 isn't a massive upgrade over the F2 Pro, though. It sure packs a better 120Hz AMOLED and stereo speakers than its predecessor, but we expect the processing performance to be similar. The F2 Pro even had higher-resolution main and ultra-wide cameras. But there is a big case to be made here - the Poco F3 price at launch is almost half the Poco F2's, and that's a big deal.
Indeed, the Poco F3 seems to be packing a lot of unexpectedly good specs. Let's scroll through those now.
