Reviewing the Poco F3, one of the best value budget-mid-range smartphones of 2021 that's ideal for gaming with its Snapdragon 870 chipset and solid specs. I've been testing out the camera tech, battery life, performance and Xiaomi's MiUI software and here's my final verdict on the Poco F3 (which just launched with the X3 Pro).

Here's a link if you want to buy, and with the code 'POCO50' you'll get $50 off.

In the UK, this budget phone comes with a base price of just £329. Amazing considering the specs include that SD870 plus 6 or 8GB DDR5 RAM, a triple lens camera, plus an AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh. Gamers will love the performance for PubG, CoD Mobile and even Genshin Impact. As long as you're not expecting the battery to last all day if you spend a lot of time playing Android titles.

Xiaomi's MiUI 12 has been tweaked to make the Poco Launcher experience, but it's mostly the same experience. That triple-lens camera is simply fine, but the AMOLED screen is poppy and pumps out smooth visuals, an improvement over the X3 Pro. You get 128 or 256GB of storage packed into the Poco F3, and solid specs across the board.
