The Poco F3 which was released on March 27, 2021, is an affordable smartphone that you can rely on to perform several tasks just like its pricier competitors. It is available in Arctic White, Night Black, Deep Ocean Blue, and Moonlight Silver colours.
Despite the overhaul, Poco F3’s general design doesn’t stand out. It ranges from N130,000 to N160,000.
But the Poco F3 has basic design features you would expect from a smartphone contender hoping to meet the needs of today’s consumers.
There is a large camera and a good battery with a 33W fast charge that reaches 100% in 52 minutes.
Poco F3’s design is slightly comparable with other smartphone innovations from the Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco stables.
The back glass curves into the plastic frame smoothly, making this transition the smoothest ever. That’s because the frame itself is slightly curved, and that curve is continued by the display edge.
The Poco F3 uses dual SIMs (Nano-SIM and Dual standby).
Because of the Poco F3’s under-200g weight, the handling is often seamless for smartphone users. Speaking of that, the glass back is slippery, but thanks to the glossy finish, it picks up fingerprints quickly, and that makes it less slippery.
The back has a Poco logo and a lot of regulatory information below it that some may consider a bit much. It is also noteworthy that while Poco insists that it is a totally independent brand, “Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd” is inscribed on the back of the Poco F3 above the “Designed by Poco” inscription. Its charger in the box is Mi branded.
The Poco F3 features WLAN, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, infrared port, and Type – C 2.0 USB but no radio. It also has a Corning Gorilla Glass protection (Glass front, glass back, and plastic frame).
Poco F3 users will find their standard services like SMS, MMS, Email, Push Email, and IM messaging features. It also uses an HTML5 browser.
The Video quality of the Poco F3 is 1080p@30/60fps, 720p@120fps for the selfie camera, and 4K@30fps, 1080p@30/60/120/240/960fps, gyro-EIS for the main camera.
