My overview of xiaomi's poco F3 after 1 week. (near perfect phone)

[The Real LWK]

First off I'm a secondary school student (16 yrs old).I picked up the  8gb/256gb poco F3 for sgd$545.00 for my daily/school online video phone. Here are the pros and cons. 

Pros

sd 870 chipset - one of the fastest mid rangers. 

 

120mhz refresh rate / 360mhz touch sampling- good for my android games. 

 

Chrome connect - having me data in the library for class meeting in my chromebook( lenovo chrome duet). 

 

Finger print /facial lock/unlock - both very fast

 

Second space - keeps my sis and mom from snooping into my Instagram, Facebook, twitter 

 

Fast charging - comes with a 33w brick full charge from 0% in 40 mins

 

 Cons

No expandable storage - 256gb isn't enough storage for recording my class videos at 4k 30fps  or storage for my games. 

 

Glossy glass back - so much fingerprints (perfect for lifting fingerprints) 

 

Diming problems - update fixed

 

Xiaomi in build ads - took me an hour to turn off the inbuild adverts and bloatware. 

 

Overview : a near perfect phone at the price range, but great for students like me cheap, efficient, fun and should be able to last me for 2-3yrs with the sd 870 chipset without changing. The ads I don't mind so much since xiaomi gave us the option to turn them off, I can understand they had to do it so that they could lower the price to give us such great value on the phone. 

 

Things xiaomi/poco should add:

Expandable storage 

Matte back or frosted glass back

Color ranges (frosted baby pink) requested by my classmate.
