My TOP ISSUES with POCO F3! By Renzo Claros - Tech & Cameras
Welcome back to another episode of my top issues, but this time with a Poco f3 if you're new to the channel, I make tech videos about all sorts of gadgets, and I'm currently in the middle of reviewing the Poco f3. That said, I'm also close to finishing my full review on the Poco x3 pro so subscribe to get notified once those videos go live going back to the Poco f3. I've been using this for a few weeks now, and I'm going to share with you the issues that I've encountered so far. Just to be clear. This is not a video against Poco or the device itself. It's just additional knowledge for you to know before buying a Poco f3 so for the first bullet point as someone who uses nova launcher as his main third-party launcher of choice, this Poco f3 that runs on android 11 on mini global 12.0.2 software lacks support for gestures. It means you need to use the nav buttons to get around the user interface.
Apparently mini 12 doesn't support gestures for any third party launchers, shout out to AJ in the comments section for the info. I guess we just have to wait for Poco to announce proper gesture support in the future. The second one is googled feed integration onto the Poco launcher for the specs, the Poco f3 offers such as the high-end chipset snapdragon 870, and that 120hz AMOLED display Poco has yet to figure out a way to implement google feed without lagging or stuttering. Whenever you swipe from the left on the home screen to make matters worse, the scrolling activity is laggy as well. To be fair, this isn't an isolated case, since it happens to book x3 pro and the x3 NFC as well.
So as a result, I just opted for a Google widget that gets me into my own feed, which is a single tab since the lags and stutters for the third one. I see this as the first real issue of the phone, because it's keeping me from fully taking advantage of the display's capability. Basically, I'm talking about the capability of the display to get bright when you need it to aside from being fast, the AMOLED display of Poco f3 is touted as one of the brightest in its category reaching up to 1300 nits in HDR and up to 900 nits in typical content, but in the real world it's significantly lower than that. Additionally, this is what GSM marina has reported in its own review. The brightness slider lets you adjust the phone up to 500 nits maxed out, and you'll also notice that the first 85 percent of the slider only outputs around 300 nits for the rest of the 15, letting you control between 300 and 500 nits in auto mode.
The display only reaches up to 700 nits, Jason, marina cites this a sport control design and I very well agree with him. Another issue, that's related to display is palm touches. Poco f3 isn't the widest phone I've used, and it even has a flat panel to prevent palm touches from happening. However, that's not the case here. It seems like there's no palm rejection of any sort.
So, as a result, you get accidental touches. Frequently, additionally, I find a display too sensitive to the point where a swipe is recognized as a tap, but then again this is something you'll get used to over time. The last issue that I wanted to point out is the 33 watt fast charging technology according to Poco that should get the 4520 milliampere battery from zero to 100 in just 52 minutes, but based on my test, it requires my Poco f3, 85 minutes or nearly an hour and a half to me. That's still fast enough, but I have other Xiaomi phones with 33 watts charging with 5000 milliampere and upwards that charge faster than this phone now. Some of them are fixable through software updates, but I'm concerned about how Poco will address the display and charging issues that I'm facing I'll be posting my full review this phone soon, just like I said earlier, so that's been, it drops a sub or like, if you feel supporting the channel and as always until the next one stay safe.
You.
