I am finally pulling the trigger on getting a Redmi Note 3 Pro/Snapdragon 3GB/32GB
But there is really one thing that's stopping me at the moment...
I saw earlier posts stating that the Dark Grey/Black variant has a yellowish tint screen and that they use a crappy/old screen on the Dark Grey variant:http://en.miui.com/thread-264272-1-1.html
and Gold variant didn't have any of this problem they said and I even saw post saying that the Gold Variant has the best screen out of three colors. This is really bad news for me since I especially I want the Dark Grey one.
Can anyone confirm if this true or not? But if it is really the case, I guess I might go with the Gold one since I really want this phone
I have white pro version 3/32 and black special edition 3/32, there is no difference in screens, they are same... Ps. black SE is taller only 2mm and is much better looking, white have those black visible bezels and I dont like it...

I see, thank you for clarifying things up! But what a coincidence. I recently just found out the word Special Edition. And I am getting confused about the iterations of Redmi Note 3's
What's the difference between the PRO 3GB/32GB and Special Edition? Or they actually the same?
Is this one Special Edition?:

No that's not. SE supports LTE Band 20
In the description that u gave on amazon it says 150×76×8.65mm and it is only pro... SE is 152.5mm tall and have LTE 800 mhz band with all others, and thats all. Look at here https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro-special-editionl-3gb-32gb

Hello / As Salam o Alikum Guys
I was previously using Redmi Note 7 but now i want some change, i was thinking to buy Pocophone F1, but first i want to know your experience with this device.
My basic use multimedia and lite gaming (btw i never play Pubg
I have some questions in mind
1. Is it still worth buying in 2019?
2. Is the Camera, display and sound quality is good as compared with Redmi Note 7?
If you are kind enough, please share your valuable comments.
1. Yes it still is, the price for Poco has gone down significantly too 6GB+128GB is priced at ₹18,999 in India.

Thanks for your reply.
What about "2"
its worth buying in 2019 ONLY if you can guarantee your unit will not have a bad display and accordingly will not give you any hardware-related touch issues!
I advise you to read threads on poco f1 section on xda talking about touch issues to get an idea about how BAD it is then decide to buy or not!
Worth buying this phone, even if you can lose many hours tinkering around in order to achieve the best performance.
Poco f2 is almost on surface, i would suggest to get a new version rather buying almost 10 month old device it's a good phone.... Well you're the deciding party here.

Since you are coming from RN7 and looking for change then here is my honest advice for you, unless pocof1 is on huge Discount price, DONOT buy & wait and seriously consider buying upcoming A3plus
why?
I am using this device for last few months and this is my review about it
1. I wish, I wish and I WISH xiaomi would have released this device on Android One. the developers on xda would have done so much with it!
2. since its on typical miui10 and may go on 11, you won't feel much of a difference coming from Rn7 to F1... Accept the
3. huge usles notch on top which eats 70% of status bar! , its really annoying and design fault!
4. after unlocking, i am using havoc since day1 , because i found f1 screen veiwing angels not convincing enough and needs certain fix in TINT, COLOR, BRIGHTNESS by Kcal so I had to Root and Use HAvoc. Yes I could flash any kernel even on MIUI but there is strange policy of Navigation Bar in over all MIUI that it stays WHITE most of the time and KEYBOARD switch key NEVER appears on NAVBAR, its in notification panel! so if i have switch to English (swiftkey) to Urdu Gboard I must scroll down the quicksettings panel and located "switch input method" in list of notifications to select different keyboard! .. this is a huge bummer for me and because of this factor I am going to buy devices not having miui or keyboards in notification panel!
5. also PocoF1 has MODIFIED VENDOR image from Xiaomi hence tweaks like VOLUME BOOSTER only works on kernel level which is still NOT GOOD enough in my dictionary. when i was on RedmiNote5pro, I had always alter Mixer Path file in system/vendor/etc to 120 from 84 ( RX mix digital line) which use to give BOOMING sound to all music tracks! but on F1, even I raise the volume to 20 from 0, i still miss the RN5pro tweak because PocoF1's vendor folder don't have Mixer Patch.XML file to play with!
6. since modified vendor+firmware policy. pocoF1 gives strange system UI crashes on usb tethering for 3g connections. (there is a fix but its annoying)
7. on hardware side, the device gets HOT easily! yes it doesnt hang but it gets hot! and scares you! (even on custom roms and doze enabled)
my mind is set on A3Plus because its going to be on AndroidOne out of the box, 6gb / SD710 (which predominantly has better temperature and battery control w.r.t to SD845) and A3pro had very small notch.

I'm disagreement with point 7. This device heats up only when you play heavy games. And not too much... MIUI have some special thermal profiles that keeps temperature low.
About point 3, the notch is big, yes, but it gives IR camera which allows you to unlock you phone with the face on completely dark rooms.

Yes, that's what i was looking for.
RN5 Pro was my first Xiaomi phone and yes that was one of the best i've ever used.
What do you think about MI 8SE, it have Amoled display and SD 710

I have RN5p to my younger sibling so its atleast in the house /family

1. a device having similar notch to poco
2. smaller battery to poco f1
3. no SD Card support
4. and having NO 3.5mm jack...
are you serious ???
how about if i say to you this...
wait longer! and buy device with qualcom new modem embeded to recieve 5g... ?
yes 5g is not released in your country (yet) but as Huwaie pushing 5g in 2019 and apple 12 pushing 5g in late 2020 , soon in 18months many countries will have 5g
so far Mi Mix 3 has 5g but like mi8 se it also don't have card slot nor 3.5mm jack so its a no go for me ~!

Yes you have points Yes 5G is in test phase currently in Pakistan, So i guess i should buy a RN5P for the time being and wait for a better option. Thank you so much for your advises
I'll be really honest and simple:
You will miss some "fancyness" from a flagship, specially in design or bezels, but since i got mine I don't remember what the word "lag" or "slow" means.
So, in fact is a practical phone. Get it
Check Note 9's pricing now, it should have gone down with the release of Note 10.
I can't decide which phone to choose. I've never used ColorOS and i've never used HD screen. My previous phone was Redmi Note 4X (Snapdragon)

A major factor when I was thinking about the same was the OS.
I had used MIUI, Stock OS and ColorOS, all three have their pros and cons.
But I knew no matter what I will pick Android One device as I like the clutter-free and clean UI.
Surely Realme 5 Pro and Mi A3 4/64 are of the same price where Realme 5 Pro gives better performance but you need to think of your Priorities.
I picked Mi A3 because:
Android One (MAJOR FACTOR)
One Hand Phone
Lighter weight
If any of the above isn't your top picks go for Realme 5 Pro.
How's ColorOS compared to MIUI/EMUI and stock Android? Realme phones aren't available in my country, so can't check them in person.
Redmi 5 pro: better processor, 400ppi screen vs 280ppi, bigger screen without being that much heavier. I've compared the A3 with a 6.4" screen and that bit of extra real estate does make the other phone feel a lot bigger
A3: OLED screen and stock Android. Of course you may not necessarily like the OLED screen because of over saturated colors, lower brightness. And maybe color os has features you like the stock Android doesn't.

I'm not familiar with ColorOS but the MIUI on my Redmi Note 4X was great even in beta versions. Nice OS for multitasking and I think that pure google OS on MI A3 is even better. I have bad experience with buggy crappy software on Blackview, Leagoo devices and i'm afraid ColorOS will be the same.

Snapdragon 712 and much better full hd display, macro vs 665 and HD+ Amoled, 32mp samsung front camera and IR blaster.
ColorOS vs Pure Stock Android
I don't even know. If the ColorOS software and custom rom development is bad, i don't think that good hardware can help.
POCO F1 Armored Version 8GB 256GB is available for INR 16999/- now.
I can get it for Rs. 12,299 with exchange of my old phone.
I am wondering if it's still a good phone in February 2020?
Would really appreciate your suggestion. Thanks!
Good budget phone. Becoz there is better soc now. :laugh:
If you wait, in short time, Mi 10 Pro will be released.
I think that's great value (about €220 before trade in?)
Mi 10 pro will be expensive, but may lead to some further price reductions - I wouldn't have thought you'd get such a high spec F1 much cheaper though
Go for it
That's an amazing price. Just buy it

If you don't mind an okayish display and a big notch, this is the phone to get at this price point
Pros : Flagship SOC (crazy fast for EVERYTHING), rear fingerprint is a plus, fast charge, one of the most developer-supported devices on the earth, really good price point now, several gcam versions support, miui cam app via ANX cam.
Cons : Big-fat-ugly notch, average LCD hence color and brightness sub par, touch issues, slowly fading support due to latest xiaomi devices being handed to Poco F1 devs, sanity has almost stopped GCAM support.
Apart from these, plastic body is user-taste
I would say there are better options in this proce range because we hardly need crazy-fast speed during day-to-day usage, we look at the screen all the time so best screen is needed.
Hope this helps.
At this price, I advise you to buy it.

@rajeshkoshti A few phones with nice screens there. I see the way you're thinking (albeit each has one or more weaknesses, often the camera, and though the F1 isn't perfect on that score, it's not at all bad especially with a gcam to your taste)
Just to say though, to hit the same price point you'd have to look for a 1+ or Samsung flagship from more than one generation back - remember, the F1 itself is a budget flagship from nearly 18 months ago
Bear in mind also that the F1 in question is top of the F1 range
Have to say, I'd still go for the F1, but it's good to have options!

It will last surely for around 3-4 years . S845 and 8 gb ram is sufficient. Even s625 devices are okay for a normal user.
I have an Armoured edition poco, i advise you to go for normal version. You wont find a good case for armored one.
If you are using without a case go for armored edition. Its a beauty
Though if you have the armoured edition, you don't really need a case, surely?
In relation to updates, I wouldn't be so sure. Pocophone is a bit of an unknown quantity - Xiaomi (from my very limited experience) seem to be good about supporting their (huge) range of devices for a good few updates, but I've read concerns that the F1 may not get such longer-term love. However in a post-Treble world I'd naively hope developers will be able to keep it current for a few years yet

realme x & 5 pro SD616???

these are borderline low ranger performer.
SD 7xX & 730G & G90T chipsets are considered mid ranger.
sd6XX is low ranger bud
Redmi Note 8 pro is the better one.

Woh! (I see, u ranted first and then edited ur post saying 8 pro is better option - which I hv alrdy included for the OP, LOL)
somebody is getting too much excited!
I was just giving my two cents to the OP, chill.
Instead of arguing with my comments u shud give ur two cents n stop typing.
BTW, hey OP Poco X2 is not a bad option either, it will get longer support than F1.
Peace.:good:
