If anyone out there was using oneplus and then moved to the Poco F3
I ask mainly because i believe this phone will have really good dev support for a long time while OP7Pro is fine but not as active as before.
I don't usually like to run the stock version of the OS.
But im so used to this really good loking screen on the OP7Pro so i wanna know your opinions.

Judging from your post in the green tint thread, I believe you have already bought the phone. Why are you asking for other people's opinions when you already have the phone? You should test it yourself and form your own opinion.

yea saw this coming , but i ask because i still dont use the phone much , im wating for the 7 days to unlock otherwise theres no point for me to use it without my apps and the usual enviroment im used to.
I dont see whats worng with that or why you feel the need to point that out.
Its just that people usually ask these sort of questions before buying a phone, not after it. What if a lot of previous op7 pro owners appeared on this post and told you not to switch? Will you sell the phone? Wouldnt it be a waste of time and money? These few questions made me write the above post. My apologies if you found it offensive. Have a good day.

yea nop its ok im not mad.I forgot to mention i got some time to test the phone and send it back if i want to.
So well i can get my full money back if i do that.To be honest i wouldnt have asked if it werent because of those days i need to wait to unclock the bootloader.
Seems like a waste of money.
I only replace phones if the screen is damaged. or my phone is not working anymore.
No compare no despair.
"Worth" is subjective.
If you ask this kind of question, you are feeling hesitated.
Write your expectation in "priority order". Price, performance, battery backup, developmen, customer service, warrant, social surrounding, etc.
Don't put your expectation in parallel, you can't judge what you need in parallel.
It all depend on what you want the phone for.
Since you said you can refund, then refund it. You can buy it back later.
If you say you bought it on a limited discount price and aren't willing to refund it, then move "Price" to higher priority.
If you say more dev activity is better, then move "Custom development" to higher priority, but don't put it parallel with "Price". You have to decide which is your priority.
Other's opinion is not your opinion. You can't blame them if you follow their opinion and hate the phone later. You are the one "decide" to follow. No one force you.
My opinion is : smash your OP7Pro, then you'll find your Poco F3 worthwhile.
I recently moved from a OnePlus 7 Pro to a Poco F3. Reason being my OnePlus was full of scratches and battery life had degraded. The thing I miss about the OnePlus is its premium aluminium build and the display without any interruptions like a punch hole and notch. That being said, I really enjoyed the display on the Poco....the 120 hz panel is brighter, smoother and has better colors in my eyes compared to the OnePlus. Despite the punch hole which is the smallest I have used I am enjoying watching movies a lot for on this phone thanks to the smart tv Memc chip feature (which OnePlus 8 pro and 9 pro also has). It smoothens videos (though its a personal preference) but I love it. I also like the flat display, it's easier to apply a screen protector on it compared to the curved screen of the OnePlus 7 pro. Poco F3 is more comfortable to hold being flat, slimmer and lighter with the same screen size without a case. I had the OnePlus 7 pro in mirror grey so both my black Poco F3 and OnePlus were equal fingerprint magnets without a case but like I said OnePlus did feel more premium to hold because of its aluminium. I found the upgraded ram and processor to provide a superior experience compared to my OnePlus in various tasks (which was already pretty snappy). Back camera experience: Superior for me on the Poco when there is ample daylight though OnePlus 7 pro worked better in low light. I found selfie results to be superior on the Poco compared to OnePlus. It struggles though in low light situations but I hope this can be improved with updates and Gcams in future. I didn't like MIUI 12 with the Poco launcher much though the one ui like Oxygen OS 11 was buggy too on the OnePlus 7 pro and it took many months to arrive (had zero hopes to get Oxygen OS 12 whenever it comes seeing the fate of the OnePlus 6 series.... though custom ROM support is decent on the OnePlus 7 Pro). When I unlocked the bootloader and installed the custom MIUI 12.5 ROM on Poco F3 I loved it as it also solved a lot of bugs and animations became prettier and snappier. XDA development has been really impressive on the Poco F3 in recent times so I expect many good custom ROMs in the future. Overall I have been pretty satisfied with moving to the Poco F3 from OnePlus 7 Pro. I also moved to the 256 GB version from my 128 GB One Plus so that was another upgrade for me personally. Music experience was identical on both devices. The Poco is giving decent SOT with the battery being new.
P.S. I also noticed it charges at a uniform speed right up to 100 percent. OnePlus used to slow down when it was above 70 percent I think.
I suggest you switch to a better model.

The reason i havent send it back is because i too wanna try the phone with a different system other than stock which i do in all phones i get ( gotta wait until tuesday).
From the little time i have been using the phone i can say i like it and the only thing i dislike so far is the screen at night which is not uniform at all.
I even stated that my main concern is having a phone with good dev support so yea im not looking for opinions to change of mind , i just wanna know what they felt going from one phone to another, im not gonna decide just becuase someone had issues or didn't like the phone; i know my priorities , in fact another reason i wanna keep the Poco is due to having Wifi 6 support which my router does and i can telll the difference.
Also the ability to just switch on VoLTE in my country rather than having to use ADB commands like with my oneplus is really refreshing and i like it.
And so on there are many thing i like about the phone and i will decide in a few days once i try it with the bootloader unlocked.
Maybe it was amy bad to use the word "worth" since everyone has different needs on what is worth it for them.
oh and lol at the last sentence, i aint gonna smash it xd hmm i could potentially sell it almost for the same price i bought the Poco!

Nice , thank you for the comparision this is what i was looking for when i asked.
Now do you think charging at same speed from 0 to 100 is good? i believe Oneplus does reduce speed for a reason i guess.

Not sure about the impact this uniform charging has on the longevity of the battery but I do find it convenient for my personal needs. From what I know this is achieved by two batteries joined together, I may be wrong as I don't grasp the science behind this.
I sold my 7T Pro and bought the F3 for less. more than happy w my decision. Screen on time was horrible on the op7 series. never turning backkkkk

It is a bit dumb to ask since we all use different apps and signal coverage but..
What was your SOT with the 7T Pro and now with the F3?
I'm also thinking of moving from the OP7 non-pro to a new phone, have not made my mind yet whether it will be the Poco F3 for performance or the Redmi note 10 pro for camera. Reason to move away from OP7 is poor battery life and the 120hz display with the new phones.
Poco F3 has IMX582 camera sensor which quality wise is similar to IMX586 in the OP7 so at best case I'll get same quality photos and that is by biggest concern with the Poco.

I had the 7 Pro, 7T Pro and 7T.
almost all these three had similar SoT's
for the 7 Pro and 7T Pro my Sot maxes to 4.5-5hrs
with the 7T it lasts for 6hrs
with the 8. 8T and 8 Pro I get 7-10hrs of SoT
I dont game just some emails, voip calls and some facebook and with forced doze on apps I dont need to be awake all the time. I just hate how power hungry the panels are with the 7 series

I have both phones.
Ill say thatthe op7pros screen is 2k , but it just isnt as bright andlets not forget the battery life on the poco f3 which is better even while running an always on display . More importantly, the There are waaaay more roms and wil be for longer on the poco f3. If you really have the cash to spare, the poco f3 is worth it and a definite upgrade

Hi, so as the title says, if you could would you change your mind or stick with the 7T !
Based on only the 3 models listed which would you now choose ?
Stick with 7T
Go 7T Pro
Go 7 Pro
Edit: I'm currently a OnePlus 5 user and basically use my phone for a multitude of actions ranging from general browsing to gaming ( not really high demand games but for extended periods ) so mainly feel battery and overall smoothness is essentially my end game in a device but still like to capture them precious family moments in still and motion formats so a good camera is desired too. The one plus 5 for me is great and to be honest I don't need to upgrade ATM as I'm happy with everything... but I have the chance to upgrade as I'm giving the OnePlus to my son for his birthday and going to take this opportunity to get myself an upgrade ( no contract, device only ) with no real budget limit except justification on joint account bank balance lol. In reality I wouldn't be comfortable spending more than £800 and would want the upgrade to last at least another 3 years !!
I'm UK and I've looked at virtually everything recently that it's giving me a mental block at what to go for.
Examples:
OnePlus - love current but unsure which 7/8 version to upgrade to.
Samsung - Not a Samdung fan really
Xiaomi - Looks like some really great affordable options but don't understand all the global rom Vs global version stuff so don't want to risk getting burnt.
Huawei - Google issue on newer devices like the P40
Certain Oppo versions,
Along with Redmi,
Redmagic 5g,
Blackshark 3 pro all look fantastic but unsure on updates etc over the next few years with these !!
So on so on
I don't really like to mess with root these days so tend to stay stock.
( Thought I best put a bit of info into the post, I'm welcome to all replies and help in choosing my next device )
Thanks.

Thanks for your feedback. Would you consider the standard OnePlus 8 a needed upgrade at present ?
No
neither the op8 nor the 8pro have anything i would need. and the punchhole is not at all mine was a notch
i come from 3T (broken screen), considered a while for 7T, 7Pro & 8...
finally chosen 7T for flat screen, i hate curve edge (3T bad exp) also for the price of OP8 series seems they changed the high CP strategy (not favourable)
so far 7T's drawbacks are, no LED notification and TWRP not ready..... for TWRP i think it is a matter of time
for the notch i dont think reli matter since the screen is comparatively big

If u don't like root of stay with the 7t stock wisebits rock solid.me I'ma flashaholic if I could go back I would have grabbed the pixel it was cheaper and is farther along development wise at this point.as a x xiaomi owner globel versions are very good but had a issue with lte bands I had the a2 lite but had no band 12 for TMobile luckily I live in a big city so I was fine with band 2 and 4 but if I traveled and needed band 12 I'd be screwed
Go for the 7t, it's really good. You can hide the noth. I had the 7 pro and 7t. The resolution is for normal use without VR absolutely fine. I also struggle with the same question as you. Also the 7t a a cheaper price and awesome charging. Not to forget, Android 10 out of the box. So 1 more big update.
So after at least a week of solid researching and mind numbing change of thought !! I've decided to go with the 7t. I will receive the 7t tomorrow morning ? with next day delivery costs.
It's been a really hard decision but I'm happy with staying with OnePlus and the 7t is an upgrade on my existing op5 at least and I've managed to save some money in not being drawn into my max budget ( £800 - £900 ). I hope I've made the right choice in the 7t and hope will last me a few years like my op5 has and also that I don't regret not going op8 !!
My op5 is still in immaculate condition and performs just like day one so I hope my lad will be happy with his new ( old ) OnePlus 5.
Thanks for the input to those that replied and I may see you over in the 7t forums soon if my old flashaholicism returns lol.

Hi.. Can you please say if you have any of the screen issue that have been reported by some users. I am also planing to buy the 7T but Im not sure if its a good decision given the screen issues it has.

I've had the device for 9 hours now and I've not noticed any issues with the screen but I'm not aware of the issues your asking about ? Can you elaborate on this !
Coming from the OP5 this phone is a massive upgrade and I'm really happy with the
camera ( the zoom and quality is great )
Warp charge is insane compared to opt
Everything is good ATM apart from maybe battery life is not as great as I imagined but i have been hitting some gaming on it with Bluetooth on, 90Hz, high display but with that said I repeat the warp charge greatness as I can just fill her back up when getting low.
After the short time I've had...... I'm HAPPY

I was refering to the green/pinkish tint once you lower the screen brightness.. using a dark theme.. plus users have reported having non-uniform screens.. frame drops/lag.. etc.. you can simply google oneplus 7t screen issues and you will see what Im talking about..
I just wanted to know if its really that widespread.. like every second unit having the same issue.. or is it just a few isolated cases..
anyway..I am really glad you're happy with it ??
Oh another thing on a personal opinion - I nearly went away from OnePlus as I kept reading how the camera was not up to standards etc but I've got to disagree and I find the camera to be amazing. Yes I'm comparing against the oneplus 5 but WOW this thing is amazing lol. I took a X10 zoom shot of moving subjects ( my children on scooters ) and the picture was better than I got on static close ups on OnePlus 5.
So..... It's all respective of what your coming from and what your standards are but I can't fault this phone after day 1.

I've had a little research and I can safely say I do NOT have this issue. My themes and screens are always dark along with low brightness ( unless gaming ). I've done the chrome incognito test and have no such issues.
When I got the phone it had a system update pending so I automatically performed the update and if this helps I've attached my info screenshot.
I'm lost between these two smartphones, both have almost the same price and the same specs except the main camera and the screen, which one to choose between the two?

For me what will tilt the balance is size and weight, where mi 11 lite is lighter and smaller. Besides Mi 11 lite doesn't have a dedicated SD card slot.

Yes it has but, it uses same slot as SIM. So you cant use two SIMS at a time, if you use SD card.

Yes unfortunately
I use Mi 10T Pro as a daily driver. Bought a Redmi Note 10 Pro one month ago but sold it after one week. Great phone for the price but it still left me cold for some reason. I have now made an order of 11 Lite 4G. I dont't think the camera on 11 Lite is that much worse. Watched a camera comparison on youtube and they were more oss less on par. The great thing about 11 Lite is the smaller and nicer form factor. Will update when I get the phone later this week.

Im am making a switch from IOS to android. I have ordered a Mi 11 lite (after some research). And I have joined this forum(looks really cool place to hangout). Main reason being the customization options and availability of open source apps. I plan to ungoogle (unChina perhaps) the phone to my liking. Really inspired by a wolfgang's video on the topic. Hopeful that a major custom rom (like lineage or omni) gets released for Mi 11 lite soon.

I would like to revise my statement above. Got a Mi 11 Lite 4G two days ago. It was a bit disappointing. It feels a bit cheap to be honest. Further, the punchole is bigger and more intrusive compared to N10Pro. Not a big fan of Note 10 Pro but I still think that phone felt a bit better. Also got a Poco F3 and that phone feels great. Better build quality and haptics than both 11 Lite and Note 10 Pro and way faster and more fluid. Mi 11 Lite feels like a typical midrange phone whereas F3 almost feels like a full-fledged flagship. Did not expect such a large difference between F3 and Mi 11 Lite. I also thought that F3 would feel like a faster Note 10 Pro. However, F3 feels way better than Note 10 Pro (as I remember that phone).
What about photo comparison for you guys ? which one best ??

Thank you for sharing your experience. I haven't used any other phones you mentioned, in fact, this (xiaomi 11 lite) is my first android phone that I have been using since a few hours today. Overall its been good so far. The biggest complain (or rather disappointment) is the camera. It...just... ...sucks haha. Not to say Its unusable but compared to iphone, for me its just functional and thats it. Of course there is no comparison between the two. Im just sharing my impression of it. Over all, not too bad for a first time android phone.
And speaking of android, I dont know if all android phones are like this but, Android in this phone felt like a Google heaven and a data sucking machine down to your every single heart beat. The DEFAULT CONTACT(by default I mean its a system app and I can't even delete it) app is GOOGLE. WHAT??? The default assistant is google. Basically every app is google and so many unnecessary permissions like calculator requiring microphone was there.
I really hope a custom rom come out soon because I would have to spend hours setting this thing up with just root access. And even that might not be enough. Thank you for the read.

Xiaomi used a small main camera sensor in order to reduce the camera bump on this phone. This is the reason for mediocre camera performance. However, I still think the camera is pretty good taking the low price into consideration. However, I will sell this phone now. It is a good midranger but not close enough to a flagship. The difference between using this phone vs. F3 or Mi 10T Pro are too large for my taste. The form factor is super nice but everything else feels mediocre. I don't think I ever will buy a midranger again. If one get used to the haptics and speed/fluidity of Xiaomi flagships (or Poco F3) it is very hard to settle for a phone like this.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for the first hand experiences. I'm a light user myself and don't need/expect high (SoC) performance from a phone.
Except cost and form factor, the most important thing to me is the camera. I doubted the extra-tiny pixel on the new sensor at first, but then I saw the review at GSMArena:
https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_11_lite-review-2255p5.php#image31
The details of the mosaic are very good. In fact, only a few phones can resolve the details to such level -- I found out by digging quite a few reviews in that site comparing the photo samples of the same scene.
I also saw some other reviews on Youtube with positive impressions. (And then, there will be GCam for help in the near future... )
In what aspects do you think the camera is not good?
Shutter lag? Low light?
BTW, OTOH, I'm worrying about the durability of this phone, especially after seeing the broken RN10 pro in the bending test
I don't do that to my phones for sure, but the thinness of this phone is so attractive yet so worrying at the same time.
Just found a teardown video of this phone, the 1st one I have encountered:
Looks like the middle frame is widened/thickened near the area of switches. Should be a good thing for the rigidity...

Yes. I'm going to sell my Mi 11 Lite 4G. It feels a bit fragile. Poco F3 feels much sturdier in comparison. With that said, I do not care that much about bend tests. I do not think it will break when using it in everyday life.
The problem for me is subjective experience of holding a phone that feels a bit fragile. IMO Mi 11 Lite lacks a premium in-hand feel. It feels a bit cheap.
I got your point.
To me, it's a dilemma. The sense of substantial feels good in hand, but it could also drag my pants down or skew in my pocket, LOL !

i bought Poco X3 nfc first, very good for the price but really too heavy, it dragged my pants down
Then bought Mi 11 lite on a temporary sale (189€ in Italy), and sold the X3.
Weight it's not directly related to the real phone hardness, let's consider that the more weight the more risk of breaking when it falls on the ground, for obvious physical reasons.
For that price of course there is no match, Mi 11 lite is a best buy, it's real problem is the actual street price.
Actually, i definitely love it, and look forward for twrp and aosp roms, and a dedicated gcam mod, to get the most out of it
Hey guys, I am going to buy a new phone and finally upgrade from my OnePlus 5t. I did a lot of research and I am between the phones of the title. It seems like the 9 Pro has muuuch more support and recognition in here so it will probably be easier to do this like custom roms, recoveris, kernels etc. But I also saw that the screen Is not top tier but more something like the 8 Pro(brightness wise) while other flagships are on another level. Also, DXOMark(not the best site, I know) testing showed that the OP 9 Pro has the worst HDR in movies. It seems almost as if it doesn't have HDR. Can you please tell me your opinions and help me decide?
MIUI sucks, too many bugs and very unstable

I don't think the original firmware is going to be "unstable" is it? And if yes, I still feel uneasy about the fact that OP 9 Pro HDR looks ****... Of course I love OxygenOS (even if OnePlus does some stupid things from time to time) but at the same time I want a full Flagship and not another "just the latest CPU" smartphone..
I think is a matter of opinion you will get a lot of love/ hate relationship from users with the op9pro. I had the mi9 for about 2 years ( I know is not mi 11 ultra) until I upgraded to 9pro. Miui was fine didn't have many problems with it until they start pushing ads in system apps and that was a no no for me. Is the op9 perfect? Not really. Is oos perfect? Again not really. If your an enthusiast and wanna mess with ROMs, kernels etc go for the 9pro, is a good phone ,decent cameras, good battery life.... for me anyway..the HDR thing don't know about it not something I'd be interested in. As for the mi11 ultra can't comment on it never used one & reviews online are hit and miss as with every phone. So if you want HDR go with mi11 if you want to customise go with the 9pro . There both good phones with similar specs just the OS & support makes the difference

Thank you for the nice reply. I am thinking it a lot because I am the type who keeps a phone for a long time(or I try to) so I can't mess it up. After a lot of searching, I may also go with the OP 8t because 2 friends have it and it is pretty good. I also think that if I go to the 8t I won't miss a lot of things so yeah, I'll have to decide based on what I want to do more
The screen (1 billion colors) is one of the best in the world on OP9 pro & s21 Ultra (on release date).
11 ultra is heavyer. Much heavyer. You will feel the extra weight in youre pocket. And bigger.
11 ultra is Much expenssive.
Fast charging is Great on OnePlus. Wired and wireless. On 11 ultra real charging is not as they claim.
Oxygen is not as clean & awesome as it was. Google mess it up. But from what i know better than miui.

(OXYGEN IS BEST OS EVER USED, BUT WITH LOTS AND LOTS AND LOOOOTS OF MINOR BUGS THAT NEVER GETS RESOLVED. MIUI A BIT ANNOYING UNLESS YOU REMOVE BLOATWARE WITH ADB) in addition to all that, MIUI software update is not perfect. and with the last update, i am having a really good battery management and really good smoothness. bug are minimum which really shocks me. after 3 or 4 months of use, i started to like MIUI, but still prefer Oxygen.

after 3 months of experience with MI 11 ultra, I totally disagree with your comments, especially after 12.5 update. I find it less bugs than Oxygen, and I like what they make in it, but I still miss OXYGEN for its cleanliness, (not sure if still clean on OP9Pro as I heard it is not). and with MIUI I can easily debloat with ADB without affecting anything at all. and I still can reinstall debloats at anytime as well.
One more time, for more than 4 years on Oneplus, and before that I was on pixel and nexus, Xiaomi just for the past 3 months.
I have both and use both sometimes one sometimes the other. MIUI I think is really cool because completely different than what you would normally expect from the Android interface. Since it is a Chinese company that is geared more towards China and Europe. Your going to get a funky but really fun phone.
Make sure you get the right one if you care about bands. You can change ROMs but the bands will be different from China and Europe.
That said I just love using my 9 Pro there is a lot you can do with it.
im thinking about buying the 9 pro but at has been out for a while should i just wait or should i pull the trigger need some advice
If you want it to install roms forget it, the developers have it very abandoned. For example, no developer has compiled a beta version for Android 12, But if you want to use it normally, I really recommend the 9 more because the 9 Pro with the Rom stock the battery is ****.

As with most other devices, A12 roms are unlikely to be available until after the OOS 12 ROM is released (GA, not Beta).
There are lots of good A11 ROMs out there, and the phone itself (LE2125) is excellent. The stock OOS 11 is also very very good.
But hey, doesn't affect me one way or another what phone/ROM you use. I'm very happy with what I have!
Cheers

A12 OOS official isn't out yet and most devs actually prefer to use finished sources before releasing anything to public. I'm sure some are building ROM's off the beta builds for testing but not releasing them. Also, only some people seem to have issues with the battery, heat, etc. I (and others) have no such issues with our 9pros even on stock OOS. I would suggest the phone to anyone honestly.

Been using the device for over 3 months and can confidently say that nothing makes the device worth the price. The phone heats up with general use. Battery life is pretty ordinary. Not much into camera, screen and performance are the only saving grace.
If I was into ROMs, I would buy a device with the best price to specs ratio like mi 11 series or ROG 5 or even the standard 9 and upcoming 9RT. But avoid the 9 pro at all cost.
The answer for you will depend on your priorities ;-)
I needed a phone recently and found an open box 9 Pro on ebay within my budget. I wouldn't have bought this phone at msrp. My experience has overall been positive. The only time I've overheated the phone was transferring about 80 GB from my old phone before realizing both were on a heat soaked surface. Putting the phone where it could breathe resolved this. Even with extended gaming sessions, the phone has run cool since. Battery life more than meets my daily needs. PD support is ideal as that's what my pc uses at work, so I don't worry about carrying a charger. A 10 min top up at 45W from PD or 65W from the stock charger is a game changer. Going from 20-90% in ~12 mins on the included charger while making coffee & breakfast is great!
Note on battery life: I tend to power off my device for a few mins a couple times each month for consistency. Especially after the primary Google Assistant app updates (this one).
I'm a photography enthusiast and have been generally happy with the 9 Pro IQ. If you do end up getting this phone or the OP9, take some time to review the different options (like Photo, Pro, Portrait) and settings - they are extensive and can be fine tuned for your use case. Be sure to take some test shots to dial this in.
The biggest shortcoming is the selfie cam, which has low dynamic range, easily washing out. I installed gcam MGC by BSG (currently v8.1.101) and it takes much better selfie shots. For the rear facing sensors, the stock camera app vs. gcam HDR+ generally show parity.
My partner has a Pixel 5 so using her phone for selfies is also an option. I prefer the FOV on the OP tho.
The screen is gorgeous! I tried 60 hz vs 120 hz with lpto and noted little effect on battery life, so have remained on the latter. I've found FHD+ meets my needs as the screen size shows little benefit bumping up to QHD+. I appreciate the stock Screen Calibration options and find Advanced > AMOLED Wide Gamut gives the color palette I prefer.
Two things requiring workarounds for my use:
a) My previous phone had a notification light, which I used more than I realized. Rather than turn the screen on periodically, I enabled the Always on Display during my waking hours, problem solved.
b) Historically I've traveled internationally for work, so having dual sims has been a must. It looks like there is work from XDA devs underway to enable this if OP doesn't themselves. Otherwise my partner has an old mobile hotspot from her job I'll commandeer when/if work travel resumes.
Reviews that helped me make an informed decision:
o XDA Devs : of course!
o Notebookcheck
https://www.notebookcheck.net/OnePl...end-phone-charges-twice-as-fast.530399.0.html
o GSM Arena review and comparison to other phones

o Photography Blog
https://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/oneplus_9_pro_review
o Danny Winget Youtube firmware comparison
Hope this helps!
In a lot of ways, the OnePlus 9 Pro is a great phone, with a super-smooth screen, the fastest wired and wireless charging, pleasant software, with a solid long-term update commitment. I even enjoy the camera.

In hindsight; you may be right.

Besides, yeah, I do feel it is a good device, but getting it over Oneplus 9 or 9RT would depend on the user's preferences.

Nobody really knows yet. Since Pixel 6 series is using a new in-house cpu (Tensor) and there are no reviews out yet (product ships on 10/28) so no one really knows what it's going to really perform like. I also would be curious if/how easy it will be to root or unlock bootloader since it's a totally different CPU architecture.
I came from a OnePlus 3T. Overall I think this phone is great, the camera and functionality is slick. I also appreciate that having the phone on max performance levels, screen brightness and sync enabled will impact the battery.
I like that it has an active community here, and on the OnePlus forums. I've logged a few bugs and evidenced how to recreate them. Am I unhappy about the companies communication style, not being open about throttling etc, yes. However I understand that people are human and make mistakes. It's still a young device released 6 months ago. Let's see where we are in a year from now

Funny enough, I was thinking recently if I should get the 8 pro as well. Specifically for rooting/custom ROMs. I'm currently using a OP6T (rooted with CrDroid ROM), I can literally get the 8 Pro for free with a screen protector + case and some cash left from my £500 Amazon giftcard. But I just don't know if I should get a 8 pro or not and I can't justify the purchase tbh

Hey, guys!
I'm about to make a big purchase decision (yes, I call buying a phone under $450 a big decision!). After some research, my choices were filtered to these two devices as they offer the best value for money. If you were in my situation, which one would you choose and why? are there any options to consider?
P.S: If this post is redundant or exists somewhere else on the forum, please point me to that discussion. Thanks!
Depending on your needs. Note 10 has a better camera. Poco f3 has the better chip. The pictures from Poco are fine and the Mediathek is not bad.
As someone who had both you can't go wrong with either.
Decided to go with the F3 in my case.
The F3 is faster, you can even feel it in the UI but it isn't to say the Note 10 pro is bad but you do feel the difference, no way around it.
If you're sensitive to some random stutters or plan on any gaming be sure to get the F3 as the note 10 pro can't game very well (gets hot and throttle) while the F3 is a champ in the performance category.
The camera in the note 10 pro is better but I didn't notice a night and day difference between them.
The F3 camera is what I'll call average, there are better out there but if the lighting's good both will do great, the main difference is at night but because the note 10 pro doesn't have OIS don't expect it to be flagship level.
To conclude, in my opinion, the difference in camera's between the 2 isn't anything major but the difference in performance is so I believe the F3 is the better choice.

Yes, I agree fully.
However, there's some upsides from using Redmi Note 10 Pro (I had both too at one point)
- More custom roms (if you're into that)
- Headphone jack
- It's just as fast (if you're using a custom rom and not playing games)
- I think also better battery life but I might be wrong
- The colorways are better imo
The upsides of Poco F3
- Wayyy better build quality (except the speaker grills and charging port - they're kinda sharp tbh)
- Audio quality is somehow way better with the Poco even though you'll have to use the adapter for headphones. Another thing to mention is I think the adaptor itself is proprietary since I couldn't use it on other devices.
- Better speaker quality
- Better screen
- Wayyyy faster storage speed
- It's gonna last way longer due to the chipset
- Accessories and skins are way easier to find
What's good on both phones
- Both look good
- 120hz screens
- Active community development
- Not hard to service
- Noob friendly
I too had this doubt in August .
The F3 overall has the best spec sheet. It costs a little more but lasts longer. (I'm biased! Satisfied owner of F3)

Poco F3 is far better than Redmi Note 10 Pro in all aspects as I compared the specs and Poco F3 has every new spec. The only thing is Note 10 Pro has a large battery than Poco F3 but the snapdragon 870 will enhance the battery life in Poco F3 by giving good performance.

Yes, I notice from my research that the RN10 Pro enjoys the availability of more roms. However, if we consider only the most famous roms, like LineageOS and ArrowOS, they are equally loved and supported.
From your thoroughly helpful response, the Poco F3 three is clearly superior. And since the difference is that significant (fast storage, longevity, sound qality...etc as you said) I think I'm more confident in my preference of the F3.
Again, your response was extremely helpful to me because it highlighted those subtle areas, which are usually mentioned with some assumption that everyone will understand their meaning.
Thanks a lot, sir!

I own both (Aliothin and sweetin)

1. Faster performance.
2. Premium looking back compared to Note 10 pro
3. 5G capable
Pros of Sweetin (Note 10 pro India)
1. Better camera (64MP Samsung Sensor is better than 48MP one in F3 especially in low light, 108MP global version is also really good)
2. Headphone Jack
3. Super Macro lens vs Just Macro in F3.
4. Better Battery life (5000 vs 4520 if I am not wrong)
Get F3 if you are willing to keep your phone for 4 or so years and Note 10 pro if you change every 2 years. sd732G is a aging chip, sd870 is blistering fast.
F3 has 5G which means you can enjoy faster network when it available.
That is the main reason I put another $100 for my phone (I don't spend much for phone generally).
This is the best value phone I found with both 5G and Snapdragon. Though I must admitted that 870G is overkill for my need, I never play games on mobile. I could trade it for better battery. But I was very tempted with a premium cpu.
