It’s a busy day for Xiaomi as it officially brings two new Poco phones to the market: the Poco X3 Pro and the Poco F3.
The F3, which is Poco’s most powerful device to date, features a Snapdragon 870 chip along with a 6.67in 120Hz E4 AMOLED – specs that should please gamers and social media surfers alike.
If you’re wondering, the E4 AMOLED is Samsung’s next-generation screen technology that promises greater brightness, contrast, and colour fidelity, along with greater energy efficiency. You’ll find the same E4 display on the more premium Xiaomi Mi 11 , which is also on sale now. We’re separately looking at where to buy the Mi 11 here .
As for cameras, the F3 leads with a 48Mp main sensor, followed by 8Mp ultrawide and 5Mp tele-macro sensors. You also get a 20Mp front camera. The F3 packs a 4520mAh battery, with a 33W wired fast charging which Xiaomi claims should reach a full charge in under an hour. Check out the Poco F3’s full spec sheet and latest news .
It’s undeniable the F3 packs incredible value for money, given it costs under £400. Here, we’re tracking everything you need to know about Poco F3’s pricing and availability in the UK – including early bird deals.
