I got stuck between choosing poco f3 and mi 10t. Because there are really a lot of bugs in F3 and it can not be said that it is good. The point is that in the mi 10t we see more stable performance. Do a Google search right now and see the bugs of these two phones and you will see that there are more bugs in F3. Those who write about the mi 10t bug are more stuck with the ips screen and nothing else. The mi 10t is also more expensive than the F3. Now with these ideas, why should F3 be better? (I do not know why it should give xiaomi F3 cheaper ??? while it has a more powerful processor !!!) Some people say that in F3, when playing Call of Duty, the screen light decreases after a while. It seems that Xiaomi did not use a good AMOLED screen in the F3. Next point, the Poco F2 Pro is more expensive than this, even though it is the previous generation :) Isn't it interesting ?? I think xiaomi has made this phone from cheap raw materials, which has lost its efficiency for more than 2 years :) Yes, it is true that the Mi 10t has a relatively weak processor, but its performance is really better than the F3 in the long run. On the other hand, Yousri says that F3 has AMOLED pages and ... well, what is AMOLED ??? Only the light is better and the contrast is better, but in fairness, the mi 10t also has a good screen.

since i don't care about gaming i just want something to perform fast and to last long enough i believe the 865 in mi 10t is still good for years to come also for someone who can't change his phone every 2 years like me amoled is not an option since the burn in issue will happen within 6 month to year and half depends on my luck that's what i'v read while searching about amoled displays and looking into users problems not to mention that 350 dollars phone ( poco f3 ) with all these stacked specs they will never put a top notch amoled screen it will cost them a lot and even if they did the period of time i mentioned above was on samsung's high quality amoled screens so imagine with budget one how it will be maybe the story changed now with the new fluid and dynamic amoled screens and maybe the technology evolved enough to prevent this problem but who knows lastly even tho i don't play games but from the reviews i saw on the poco f3 the phone gets super hot playing games like genshin impact to the point you get scared burning something inside so what's the point of getting a slightly better processor when you can't get advantage of it anyway because how poor the cooling system is so yeah i think the mi 10t is the way to go and oh i forgot about the cameras they are noticeably better on mi 10t not even the pro version compared to the poco f3

What are you talking about? I've been using amoled screens since 2012 and never encountered a burn in issue. Research more and you'll see that it's not exclusive in amoled or oled displays. IPS has burn in issue too 'though not as common as amoled but the occurance is not zero. Genshin Impact is a heavy game and requires a lot of processing power. Any chipset, name it SD 865, SD 888, and even A12 and A13 Bionic, would heat up as you use it. What kind of thinking is that? You're playing heavy game and expect it to be cool? I have my Poco F3 with me for more than two weeks already and I don't encounter heating issue. I'm playing several games listed below and device temp while playing: 1. Mobile Legends - 36°C to 38°C 2. Call of Duty - 37°C to 39°C 3. Genshin Impact - 39°C to 43°C I reach 43°C in Genshin Impact but is it an issue? No. Want to know why? Bec it's a heavy game and require a lot of processing power. If ML and CODm makes my Poco F3 reach 43°C then that's an issue bec those two games are not that heavy esp. the former. Turbo charging battery temperature reaches 40-41°C so gaming temp at 43°C in Genshin Impact is never an issue. I really don't know what you're talking about 😂 And of course the camera should be better in Mi 10T as it has a cheaper IPS LCD display compared to the latest E4 Amoled of Poco F3.

I'm using mi 10T, i just bought for gaming, so guys, in pubg 870 processor is new and couldn't find 90fps on pubg... We guys always look for gaming smooth experience... The snapdragon 865 launch for premium phone by high budget. But nowadays they are launching midrange with high clock speed... I will suggest 865 because its good experience for gaming 90fps..and we all know, we don't care about amoled display we want performance. No one play in outside sun...choice is yours

Every new chipset will take months for 90FPS to pop off. Basically, you guys are thinking why Poco f3 is cheaper right, then let me tell you something about marketing ¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯. The reason why poco phones are cheaper is that they have built-in advertisements (when you install apps- ads pop up). And bloatware apps( that you can uninstall obviously). 2nd reason- is that poco is making a name for itself using user reviews' value for their money. And who the fúk is using their AMOLED screen full brightness all the time? 0% brightness lit even looks like 100% power on an LCD screen (☞゚∀゚)☞. I'm not exaggerating, it's the truth. IPS LCD doesn't last forever it also degrades cuz its pixel count is lower than that of a first-generation worst Amoled. Except for E4 AMOLED and Up (these guys are the latest ones). And fall, Xiaomi doesn't own Poco, They are sister companies coming from a branch called Chinese Company🤣😂✌️.
