Hi, I'm Chris and this is the POCO x3 gt that was just released has been announced
and we have the POCO f3 which has been out for a while now i wanted to compare both of these
models here Dimensity 1100 versus snapdragon 870 is there going to be a huge difference well
a little bit of a spoiler they are actually very close in terms of raw performance speed
and graphics performance so there's a difference in the screens of course amoled versus ips battery
capacities charging rates and the main cameras 48 megapixels versus 64. there will be a small camera
comparison in this video here so on the right it's the POCO f3 and on the left of course the x3 gt
now screen sizes on both of these very very similar we are looking at 6.67 versus 6.6 here
ips amoled full hd plus displays on both of them and the cutout in the front here a lot
smaller on the POCO f3 this is an amoled screen and you can see there's a little bit of a flicker
going on here and that is because this oled here sorry amoled panel does not have dc dimming which
i would really like to see this ips maximum brightness is 470 versus well over a thousand
nets it's the peak that it can go to uh with the poker right here with the f3 and that's a very
very bright screen so screen hands down it's much better slightly better bezels too as well with the
POCO f3 it's just that banding you can see coming through a little bit on camera but
in person i'm not seeing that so the weight of them very very similar here too so we've got
193 grams with the x3 gt versus 196 with the POCO slightly heavier now both of these support 5g
we've got the snapdragon 870 this has six gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of ufs 3.1
storage and this review unit here from POCO has 8 gigabytes of ram 256 gigabytes of ufs 3.1 storage
and it does have the density 1100 in this one so backing materials we've got glass on
the back with a POCO f3 and plastic here with the x3 gt and the camera setup on both of them
is similar but the main sensor on the POCO this one is 48 megapixels versus 64. there will be
a camera comparison a small one in this video eight megapixel ultra wides and two two megapixel
cameras we do have the microphone right there with the POCO f3 which is not present with the x3 gt
and look at the front of them here with the screens so gorilla glass victus is on the x 3 gt
has the better glass the better protection you could say for the drop resistance there gorilla
glass 5 on this one 6.67 inches 6.6 so they are very very similar in size now the fingerprint
unlocking on both of them very similar but they're both side always on capacitive fingerprint readers
i do find that the f3 is the fastest but there's really not much in it when you see that i'll lock
it now and touch it on the x3 gt they're really almost the same but there's just a
split second or so faster on the f3 now up the top of both of these you'll see here we do have
ir transmitters and we've also got our loudspeakers so they both support dual
loudspeakers which is great to see and then down the bottom here we have type c ports both usb 2
data now the sim tray some support there is no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack with this and and both
of them take dual nano sims here so if you needed for example to have a micro sd card in your phone
well you're out of luck with these no micro sd card support no 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
and build quality plastic frame as mentioned on these so it does feel pretty good and overall they
are a solid phone but i think the POCO f3 just has a nicer build and finish to it over the x3 gt
i'll just show you the settings as well we get so both of these are 120 hertz displays but they're
of course the difference between the amoled the ips and really the same kind of options
are present there so you can change the white balance the scaling refresh rate you can force it
onto 120 hertz which i'm currently doing now so on camera because of the shimmering that's going on
because there's no dc dimming with the pulse width modulation the flicker we're getting on the f3
it actually comes out looking worse right now but it's just on camera trust me the f3
is the brighter better screen and the blacks are deep you don't have any issues
like you do with the ips panel on this one when you look at it at certain angles you see around
the cutout here the pixels are slightly dimmer and around the edges too and that really does not
happen although you can see it's dimming but the color is still uniform the brightness is
still uniform there with that one too as well so just getting out of this both of them are running
android 11 miui 12.5 and i find rom performance i won't go into this into a lot of depth
but i do think that it feels a little bit smoother at times uh on the x3 which is kind of odd because
it's not actually the most powerful chip out of these two the dimension 1100 is very very good
um but the stamp tray again 870 so slightly better there now i've noticed
that occasionally i do get on both of them a few little micro stutters so the frame rate
is not always a solid 120 hertz when in the ui and especially sometimes like if i haven't used
the phone for a while and i'll go and just swipe down the toggles especially present with the poker
f3 occasionally it will do a little tiny little bit of a frame drop there and you do pick up and
notice that when you go from say 120 hertz 120 frames per second normally to then see this sunny
chug at like 30 frames per second you notice that and occasionally it will happen to with the x3 gt
now both of them they've had minor little bugs present with the poke f3 it's getting slightly
better in that regard and the rom stability on both of them seems to be good but there are just
a few little minor things with these particular phones here but let's go over some benchmarks now
so with the battery charge times we have 33 watts on the poker f3 and 67 watts here charging and the
difference of the charge time is next to nothing you can see 49 minutes to fully charge the smaller
battery on the POCO which is 4520 milliamp hours so that's 49 minutes 52 minutes here to go from 2
to 100 with a slightly larger 5 000 milliamp hour battery although it's claiming that the capacity
true capacity is a little bit less there but that is going to fluctuate note that this went from 14
to 100 this was from 2 so yes the x3 gt at the 67 watts is a faster charger but it's not really
lagging behind too much the poker f3 and there is a big difference in our battery life run times
with this fixed battery benchmark here so both the displays were calibrated to 200 minutes of
brightness over 14 hours and 10 hours massive massive difference here now in real world use
the difference isn't that great so you're looking around realistically about eight hours seven hours
screen on time versus about seven six hours uh with the x3 gt this is at 120 hertz which is
okay now i did say in my review of this one that the battery life is good but i forgot
at the time that the battery life on the poke f3 here is just so much better than the x3 gt
if you're someone that relies heavily on gps accuracy i found it to be the best on the x3 gt
and also a better signal strength you can see it picked up more satellites so that is a huge change
from what we used to have with mediatek versus qualcomm it's now the mediatek newer chips that
have the better gps in them the same goes for the wireless speeds the POCO f3 is very very
fast but at the same point downstairs away from my router we're getting 222 megabits per second
versus 317 on the x3 gt so the Dimensity 1100 has just better wireless performance
not by much but i do notice in general that it seems to be a bit faster maximum speeds
over a gigabit and almost a gigabit on the POCO f3 so the best wireless is the x3 gt
now this one's not completely fair because i've got a difference in the storage size
the capacity so 128 ufs 3.1 this is 256. and take a look at the differences here
the random reads and writes are in fact faster on the POCO f3 you can clearly see
that there's a bit of a difference there but the sequential reads and writes much quicker on the x3
gt and two two version nine scores here do clearly show that the snapdragon 870 is a faster chipset
by about 80 000 points not really much in it now when you use both of them and gaming which
i'll get on to shortly the difference you don't really see it that much at all between these two
so there's not much in it at all and then our drm cert levels well we've got level one which
we want of course on the POCO f3 and level three at the time of this video on the x3 gt but i do
believe that POCO will be issuing a firmware update that will give us the security level
one that we need for streaming so netflix should then be in full hd which it is with the poker f3
in our gaming performance this title here is pump g and i'm just showing you the settings now
because the graphics option on both of them frame rate you can set the extreme option on them both
and when i've been playing the games they seem really performance wise to be almost identical
reflecting that very close antutu graphics score but i'll jump into a little bit of gameplay now
so here with the x3 gt that the performance seems exactly the same as the POCO f3 so really
identical performance here from both of them and just look around the map here that it doesn't seem
to feel really any smoother although the POCO f3 is a little faster now both of these phones
they get warm when you play games for say an hour extended periods i do see them both getting up to
50 degrees celsius and i've done that and check that in their reviews of both of these phones you
can see that using my thermal imaging camera so right now again same performance really when it
comes to gaming on both of them although i would have to say that yes the f3 is just a fraction
faster and on to our audio quality now on both of these so we don't have a 3.5 millimeter headphone
jack you must use a type c to 3.5 adapter both quality wise sounds similar i would rate
using the type c adapter to 3.5 as the POCO f3 marginally better but not much and the same goes
for the loudspeakers they sound almost identical i wish it was a little bit louder on both of
them so what i'll do now is play the same track at 100 volume and let me know in the comments
which one you think sounds the best out of the two loudspeakers on this so first up the POCO
f3
that is basically nothing in it maybe the POCO f3 is a fraction louder but when it comes to the mid
the bass and the trebles they really are identical and then on to our cameras now so for stills
i found that the 64 megapixel camera is not really giving us that much of an advantage sometimes it
can take a better shot than the POCO f3 the ultra wides are very very similar in quality too but
when it comes to portrait shots this is where there was a bit of a difference as you can see
and selfies so the x3 gt at the time of this video this 16 megapixel camera
it's not because of the megapixel account it's because of the optimization overexposed
shots far too bright too white so the poke f3 did a better job of capturing that and for video
performance the POCO f3 i found the stability is better and overall just better video performance
okay so both of these phones here they are very fast they are powerhouse mobile phones with
the dimension 1100 and the snapdragon 870 which does pull ahead in the synthetic benchmarks now
when playing games they really seem quite similar they both get hot when playing games for extended
periods camera wise the POCO f3 is the winner for me with the better video performance the better
selfies and just over i think the more mature software there and optimization of the camera
definitely helps out it also has at the time of this video wide vine level one now there is a big
difference i wanted to point out with the band support here which is very important for anyone
watching from europe the poker f3 has lte band 20. the x3 gt does not have lte band 20. and that is
a big one there i think a lot of people need that so i am currently stuck on 3g a lot with the POCO
x3 gt and i do get onto 5g normally about two bars of signal and with the poker f3 i normally
have about three bars a slightly better and i have taken a look at the actual signal strength of them
it does seem slightly better with the POCO f3 so to me that is the one to go for you've
also got the much brighter amoled screen even though they're both 120 hertz screens
the ips is inferior the amoled is much better you get the glass on the back here versus plastic
sadly both of them don't support micro sd cards or 3.5 millimeter headphone jacks so thank you
so much for watching this detailed comparison here between the x3 gt and the f3 i hope you
did like it do subscribe for more and check out my individual reviews of both of these phones
