Poco X3 upgrade or downgrade?

A friend ordered 2 on launch date , he is selling one for the same price.
What do you guys think ? Is it an upgrade for the mi9t pro ? The only reason i want it is because of the 120hz display.
Some people are saying is that the screen has ghosting tho and the LCD can not keep up with it. I don't know if it's true.

In terms of raw performance, it's definitely a downgrade. Probably not much difference in the camera department. The higher refresh rate can be seen as an upgrade, and it's got a bigger battery and over 20% faster charging.
Personally, I wouldn't trade my K20 Pro for the Poco X3.
If you don't mind gaming and losing oled it's technically an upgrade. Although I think the camera might be far worse too
I played with one in the shop, it's a downgrade. However the display size is nice.

Refresh rate from 120 to 60hz?

Hi there, so I just bought galaxy s20 fe 5G, I set the screen at 120 hz, but for some reason, it goes back t0 60hz, not sure why, is it maybe the application or its juts a software bug? and no it doesn not thange the setting back to 60hz, it would be in high smoothness, but the output is 60hz, anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
when my FE overheated, it will drop down to 60hz automatically and went back to 120hz after cooling.

Most 120Hz phones do this. The Snapdragon version should run at 120 Hz hotter. That's what I saw. A difference of 2 degrees celsius or more before throttling occuring compared to the Exynos version. I saw no problem with the Snapdragon, performance wise. Waiting on my Snapdragon European version in 2 days to report on device.

From Pixel 4 XL to Pixel 4a 5g?

Hello everybody,
I am currently using a Pixel 4XL, which is still in perfect shape.
It is a great phone and i am loving it, however there are a few things that are starting to get annoying, mainly:
- face unlock is great, but we are wearing masks all the day out of home (and i think we will have to for many months)...so it is a pain to unlock the phone: i wish I had a fingerprint scanner like my previous Pixel 3a xl.
- battery life is quite terrible...i cannot use 90hz screen if i want some sort of decent battery life...seems like Pixel 4a xl is great for battery life.
- design and weight: Pixel 4 XL really weights more than 3a xl (and so 4a 5g). Pixel 4a 5g has the same screen real estate but is more compact.
- 64gb vs 128gb
Aspects that make me worry about the switch:
- i love taking a great amount of fast point and shoot pictures; i fear that Pixel 4a 5g will be considerably slower in processing many pictures taken in few seconds, since it has a slower processor and no dedicated core.
- screen quality: i think that Pixel 4a 5g has a great brightness level, but i don't know if screen quality can be a problem coming from 4 XL (4k vs fullhd). pixel 3a xl had a bad panel, it was one the main reason that forced me to change phone.
Someone here switched to Pixel 4 XL to Pixel 4a 5g?
I look forward to some opinions, thank You all!
Hi . I switched from 4xl to pixel 5 . Had it One Day. Misssed out faceunlock. Bigger Side. Better speakers. Better screen.

Thank you for your feedback.
When i am out of home face unlock makes me mad, because i have to wear a mask, but it is indeed a great feature (if Google would have decided to have also a fingerprint scanner on the back the phone would have been perfect).
My fear is to miss screen quality (4k, unfortunately most of the time 90hz is disabled to save battery) and processor performance, especially in elaborating pictures since the dedicated core is missing in 4a 5g and 5.

just flash linage os or pixeldust and you will get much better screen on time. save the pixel 4xl.
I received a 4A 5G from Google for participating in special Pixel event just before the phone launched. It's a nice phone and if I didn't have my 4XL I would be "okay" with it. I used it for a day or two and put my sim back in my 4XL. It's just a half step back in my opinion, haptic motor, screen, speakers, speed, just overall a compromise. I love that Google does an affordable phone but they need to drop a real specced out phone in 2021....PLEASE

Question Which phone to choose?

If you have a choice between two phones which one would you choose?
As both phones are best according to their prices and specifications, which makes it harder to choose from
The few conditions are :
As I'm going to use it atleast 3 years
Amoled with 120hz is must
Back panel should be of glass
No cost cutting in the name of using lcd, plastic frame and plastic back
Good price to performance ratio
Availability of roms

I agree bro poco F2 pro is a great phone but since it's not available in my country and budget is also a concern it's not worth to go for it
I'd go with the Redmi.
According to notebookcheck the Poco X3 heats up to more than 40 degree Celsius when being used!
If you need a heating, take the Poco. The Redmi Note 10 Pro already is a bit above what I'd like as a reasonable temperature, but not THAT hot.
I took the Redmi Note 10 Pro, because I wanted dual SIM and an additional memory card. Otherwise I guess I would have preferred the 11 Lite 5G NE. It stays even cooler and is capable of 5G. Ok, the display only does 90Hz, but the CPU is faster. Guess that usually would be worth it.
What about Redmi Note 11S? Could that be an option?

Question Pocof3 vs oneplus10t, battle of speed.

Hello all, there is this game i play; bus simulator Indonesia. Many of my friends play this game, all of them has high end device with powerful snapdragon chips, 6 months ago one of my friend bought poco f3 that has sd870 5G clock rate 3.20ghz. I was using a oneplus 7tpro McLaren 855+ at 2.98ghz which served me well, but than comes the poco f3. Which was insanely fast. In this game loading next map is a big deal, newer chipset and faster clock rate translates to faster loading, i was happy with my 7tpro, at times i saw it had beat rog 5 in terms of loading speed. So 3 months ago i got the oneplus 10pro 8 gen 1, but still i couldn’t beat the loading speed of poco f3, i did some research and i found out It's due to the clock speed. 10pro has a clock rate of 3.0ghz. So i wasn’t happy with the performance from 10pro, because it Couldn't beat the poco f3 which was 3x cheaper than 10pro. So 10 days ago i got the oneplus 10t, that has 8gen+1 clock rate 3.19ghz 16gb edition and here comes the shocker, my 10t still falls short when compared to the loading speed of poco f3, i Couldn't believe what was happening. How is the poco f3 still so much faster than 10t?? I Don't know what to do now, i was kind of embarrassed because i told everyone my 10t would be faster than the poco f3, now i am thinking about unlocking bootloader and overclocking my 10t. Any ideas on this matter is highly appreciated. Thankyou.

Have you turned on high performance mode in battery advanced settings?

Yes, it's always on and it's useless, there's no difference to be honest.
It's nothing to do with clock speeds.. unless it's an identical processor.
Chances are the Poco has a lower screen resolution, if you're running your phone in QHD mode then you're pushing a tonne more pixels than any of the Poco devices.
Lower your resolution to FHD+ then retry.
Another thing to note is that not all processors are made equally, some just perform better than others and this unfortunately is a lottery, you simply don't know what you're going to get.
What firmware are you running? If it's Android 13 then it'll probably run better but will overheat quicker and as such will result in throttling.
If you're rooted then grab Franco kernel manager and tweak your clock speeds for the GPU and CPU or even the governor.
If you're not rooted then you'll have expanded RAM turned on, this will result in slower performance in regards to gaming performance as the DDR RAM used is faster than the storage swap file.
Lastly, the load time of the game has nothing to do with how well it plays, the FPS dictates the performance of a CPU/GPU.
You can get games/apps to load quicker by tweaking a setting to make apps load faster, check settings for this.
One more thing is what is your Poco friend running? If it's a custom ROM then they may already be pushing their device beyond its stock capabilities.
The 8 gen 1 should definitely be quicker than any of the Poco devices.
Download AetherX2 and grab a PS2 game like Tekken Tag (must own original) then see how your phone performs compare to the Poco, it should make it look weak as hell.
Its All About Optimization.
You can overclock or just disable thermal throattling to gain more performance..
I'm coming from Poco f3 overclocked..
There is alot of differences btw these two devices..
You have to do Optimizations to gain high level performance.
1. Root Op10 Pro
2. Install Thermal throattling Magisk module
Or
After Rooting Install Uperf Module and select Performance Governor..
Op 10 Pro Is Far ahead of Poco F3
Edit: I'm Stuck while Over-Clocking Op10pro Because of Vbmeta Verity.. If i'm able to get it work then it'll be +37% Performance then Stock 8gen1

You honestly don't need to overclock the 8 gen 1. The hardest thing you can throw at it is AetherX2, beyond that there isn't anything much it can't do

I've experienced the same as you, because previously I've owned and Asus Rog Phone 5 with SD888, but when I've get the OP10 Pro, I've immediately noticed that OP10Pro feels the same or even worse , talking about app speed opening and overall performance, so for my luck another Asus Rog phone 5 come to my hands, it was only the 8gb/128gb version, however i've tested side by side and figure out that the ASUS was effectively faster than the OP10pro, and even made an Antutu and Geekbench 5 test on both and i cant believe, that the Asus got a better score on both synthetic benchmarks.
Then I've made a deal with the Rog phone 5 , so I've got and Xiaomi Mi11 T pro with SD 888 and same result, plus the Xioami feels more fluid and responsive.
Even i've thought it can be related to the Android 13 open beta 2 I was, downgrade to A12 to test, and worst results.
Very disappointed with Oneplus, I'm actually selling the phone to bought and Asus Rog phone 5s, saving almost 200 bucks.
