No reason to switch to Poco F4. It's the same phone with the upgraded camera while degrading the macro lens. Upgraded charging speed is just a pain in the ass as I find myself constantly trying to remove the charger before it hits 80% even when the charger is 33 watts, so 67 watts will be troublesome for me at least. F3 also got a better design and in-hand feel and if you're worried about the camera, install Google Lens.
