    Watching on mi Nokia 2.4 and it’s great. Runs well plays pub g, cod, mk etc. It’s not that slow as you say it.

    Poco X3 is stupidly good



  4. Glen Smith on April 4, 2021 at 2:06 am

    Would not refer to them as cheap phones, i would refer to them as budget / affordable phones. I think the Poco X3 is the best phone to come out in 2020. Mainly because of it’s unbelievable price and it’s capabilities. All in all this proves flagship phone prices are a rip off, and they would still make a profit if they sold for half their current prices. Recently bought the Oppo A5 2020 on an Argos special €126.99. It has NFC, head phone jack and it has stereo speakers. Does everything i want, for my needs it is perfect.

    Realme 7 is the budget King 👑



  6. Soto-Tek on April 4, 2021 at 2:12 am

    I do like the Poco X3 design a lot and I’m really enjoying the phone but I think the 120Hz refresh rate is a joke that’s why I disabled it. Don’t buy it because of it. Apart from that I would recommend it.

    You are underrated



  9. ifouth xion on April 4, 2021 at 2:17 am

    How do you define budget? How much is considered budget? $600? $500? $400? $700 is a budget?

    Please help this technophobe. So many choices, head spinning. Just want the best value. Needs to be simple to use. Long battery life and charging speed appeal. Take the odd photo. Gaming never. No idea what 5G is but have read it’s worth getting this for future proofing. I intend to keep the phone for many years. Not interested in latest models, fancy names etc etc. Thanks.

    amazing review… gonna get the A53 OPPO

    Good content but let’s not perpetuate the “more megapixels are better” myth. Watch a couple of photography videos about this topic and you’ll quickly understand why megapixels are the least important aspect of picture quality (hint: it’s mostly about the optics, the sensor size, and the image processing, NOT the megapixels).

    I’m surprised the megapixel myth continues to live on after being so thoroughly discredited over the years. Hasn’t anyone noticed Google Pixel phones are only 8 megapixel and lead the market in picture quality, while iPhones produce arguably the 2nd best images you can get on a phone, and they use only 12MP sensors?



  14. Grandrew on April 4, 2021 at 2:28 am

    Which of these would you recommend?
    – Xiaomi Redmi 9 4gb 64gb for $122 USD
    OR
    -Xiaomi Poco X3 6gb for $170 USD

    I’d like something that will last me for awhile so keep that in mind. Is the Poco worth the extra $50 USD?



  15. Nueva Ecija on April 4, 2021 at 2:28 am

    Watching from my Poco X3 NFC



  16. ilupeju Abiola on April 4, 2021 at 2:31 am

    What can I do for you to give me the oppo



  17. Roland Scriven on April 4, 2021 at 2:31 am

    HMD Global is basically Nokia. It’s a Finnish company consisting of ex-Nokia employees who bought the Nokia brand. Can we just call Nokia, Nokia? Brands change hands sometimes but it’s not as if it’s a Chinese company or anything that has bought the brand.



  18. Paul Tsikas on April 4, 2021 at 2:34 am

    Great video, very nice presentation, I agree with you 100%, my choice will be realme 7 because of characteristics combination and dimensions and weight. I mean o. k. poco is indeed a little better but becomes almost a tablet, by the way poco is acceptable in black grey colour because logo and cameras appear less, nice review again, best wishes for upcoming holidays

    Forget about the budget phones, I’m more concern there is a alien behind him waiting for right time to jump on him 😂🤣

    Cheap phones are getting good but "The good" phones aren’t getting cheap



  21. Emu Lator on April 4, 2021 at 2:42 am

    Is that really so big deal to have headphone jack on phone? For me that is most useless hole on phone for 10 years now. Today you can buy good wireless headset cheap enough or headset with type-c or adapter.
    Key futures I consider ”must have” in any phone: NFC, Battery to last trough day (not everyone sit in office all day), Good Camera (enough to take readable pic of a document), Small form factor (Todays phones almost need extra bag to be mobile)



  22. 000 001 on April 4, 2021 at 2:43 am

    IMHO, more lenses doesn’t equal better. The Macro lens is utterly useless. The wide angle distorts and washes the colors away…



  23. M S on April 4, 2021 at 2:44 am

    I didn’t realise headphone jacks were obacelet?



  24. MOTIV-8-U on April 4, 2021 at 2:45 am

    Blu g90 pro @200 puts all those to shame.

  27. Azman Long Hamid on April 4, 2021 at 2:50 am

    Hate the camera design on the Poco…
