Without a doubt, the POCO F3 is one of the best quality-price phones of recent years. We tell you why it is still worth it.

Since POCO returned to the market a couple of years ago, everything has changed for this brand in terms of sales volume and catalogue, although something remains the same: they sell several of the best cheap phones that you can buy in the Android world.

One of them is the POCO F3, which we were already able to test in its day and that more than a year later is still very worthwhile for various reasons, especially because it has become cheaper thanks to successive discounts.

The price is one of the reasons why you should bet on it if you are looking for a cheap and powerful mobilebut there are more details, and it is that the balance of characteristics is practically round, so it has a long way to go.

LITTLE F3 5G

Fortunately, its availability in Spain is quite wide, like that of all POCO mobiles, which in addition to being integrated into the official Xiaomi store has a lot of presence in other distributors such as Amazon.

Next we give a review of the features that make the POCO F3 a good mobile even today based on our experience testing its screen, its performance, its battery and much more.

It is already close to 200 euros, an unbeatable figure

We have mentioned that the cost of the POCO F3 5G has been falling, as is logical and normal in all types of mobiles. What happens is that this mobile has fallen even further than expected.

The official Xiaomi store keeps it on €259 approximately when there are active offers, and it is quite common.

For this price, it goes without saying that there are few mobiles capable of overshadowing it, and that is when this POCO was put up for sale to deal with high-end mobiles.

Screen at 120 Hz: not all mid-range have gone beyond 90 Hz

The refresh rate of the screen is very noticeable. If you’ve already tried a 90Hz phone you know this, so just imagine what a 120Hz phone looks like.

The POCO F3 5G reaches that figure, something that few do in its price segment. Yes, there are some that arrive, but with prices above 300 euros in almost all cases.

Also has a very bright AMOLED panelas we have seen in their analysis.

5G and WiFi 6: full speed to play in the cloud

Cloud gaming, especially with Microsoft and Game Pass, is taking off. It does it on absolutely all devices, be they mobile phones, tablets and even televisions, but to use it you need a good connection both downstream and upstream.

WiFi 6 gets it, just like 5G if you get coverage. The POCO F3 has both features, so when it comes to connection speed you are covered with it for several years from now.

Of course, to be able to use WiFi 6 you first need to have a compatible router, and not all operators install it.

Snapdragon 870 is a third step of Qualcomm that, however, can do everything

The best Qualcomm processor today is the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, followed by the Snapdragon 888 and then by the one that equips the POCO F3, the Snapdragon 870.

Despite falling two steps behind the flagship, it’s still a chip that can run absolutely any Android game or app without a problem, and you’ll be able to do so for quite a few years from now.

With charger included in the box, something that cannot be taken for granted

Last but not least, today you cannot take for granted that a mobile comes with a charger included as in the past. More and more brands refuse to include it in the box and others give you one that charges slower than what the mobile can offer.

However, in this case the charger does come at 33W, the maximum fast charge that this device supports.
