POCO Global launched the POCO F3 flagship smartphone a few days ago. The device has an aggressive starting price tag of €299. This device is a rebranded version of the Redmi K40 from China. Today, POCO has shared an official teardown video of the device revealing its internals like LiquidCool technology, vibration motor, and more.

The video begins with the removal of the POCO F3 rear panel revealing the inside of the device. Interestingly, the secondary mic, LED flashlight and 360-degree ambient light(rear) sensors are attached to a covering of the top inside portion.

Removing the cover reveals the chipset inside. Speaking of which, the chipset contains Snapdragon 870, LPDDR5 RAM, and UFS 3.1, and Wi-Fi 6 modems on it. A graphite cover is hiding the copper covering of the processor which has the triple-cameras to the left. On the top, we also see the IR blaster.

The triple-cameras are placed separately beside and not as a single unit. To recall, the POCO F3 has a 48MP Sony IMX582 f/1.79 main camera, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera with a 119° FOV, and a 5MP f/2.4 telemacro camera.

Similar to the rear sensors, the front selfie shooter also seems to be fixed firmly to the frame of the phone. Moving to the top and bottom before the battery, we see another ambient light sensor, Dual-speakers, USB-C port, and the X-axis linear vibration motor.

The battery is also fixed to the frame firmly by glue. Removing it reveals that the typical capacity is 4,520mAh battery and is made by Zhuhai CosMX Battery Co., Ltd. After this, the LiquidCool 1.0 Plus technology is exposed. A copper pipe runs between the battery, components, and the display to keep the device cool.

Finally, the Samsung E4 AMOLED display, side-mounted fingerprint is removed from the device and in case you don’t know, the POCO F3 doesn’t have an in-display fingerprint sensor despite sporting an AMOLED display.

Today, POCO announced the POCO F3 phone. The new device joins the growing list of flagship killers, and for POCO, this phone takes it back to its roots.

POCO F3 Design

The POCO F3 is a rebadged Redmi K40, so there is not much to say about the design. However, alongside the Night Black and Arctic White color options, it comes in a special Deep Ocean Blue colorway that the Redmi K40 isn’t available in. This color finish has three different shades of blue that make it eye-catching.

POCO F3 Specs

The POCO F3 has a 6.67-inch E4 AMOLED flat DotDisplay with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate. It packs features such as MEMC, True Color, HDR10+, a 360° light sensor, and a peak brightness of 1300 nits. It also has a feature called True Display which automatically adjusts color warmth based on your environment.

As expected, there is a Snapdragon 870 processor inside which brings 5G and it is paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The back of the phone which is covered in Gorilla Glass 5 just as the front, is home to three cameras. There is a 48MP Sony IMX582 f/1.79 main camera, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera with a 119° FOV, and a 5MP f/2.4 telemacro camera. The selfie camera is a 5MP sensor. POCO has packed the phone with several camera features for both stills and videos. The phone also has a dedicated microphone on the back for video recording and has a feature called audio zoom.

There is a 4520mAh battery inside the phone that POCO claims will provide up to 2 days of usage. It also supports 33W fast charging via USB-C, allowing you to charge from empty to full in just 52 minutes. The POCO F3 has Dolby Atmos Hi-res Audio, Hi-Res Audio Wireless, Dual Speakers, an IR blaster, and an X-axis linear motor. It also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The POCO F3 also has Wi-Fi 6.

POCO F3 Price and Availability

The POCO F3 is priced at €349 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB version, however, there is an early bird price of €299. The 8GB RAM version with 256GB of storage is €399 but can be purchased at an early bird price of €349.

The early bird sale runs from March 27 to April 6. It will be available for purchase first on POCO’s online store as well as the stores in the image above. It will also be available later at the online stores in the image below.

Habeeb Onawole — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 17:10:37 +0000

The POCO F3 will launch tomorrow alongside the POCO X3 Pro. It has been reported that POCO will be rebadging the phone that launched as the Redmi K40 in China, and now leaked press renders have confirmed it.

The photo was shared on Twitter by Ishan Agarwal, the popular and reliable young leaker. It shows the POCO F3 in three color variants, one of which seems to be a special edition due to its different finish and paint job.

The phone has a display with a centered punch hole and curved corners. The camera housing is home to three rear cameras, and if you zoom in close, you can make out the text that reads ”48MP AI TRIPLE CAMERA“.

POCO will make the phone available in Black, White, and a special edition Blue that has different finishes and a large POCO logo printed across the back. According to the leaker, there is a Snapdragon 870 chipset inside it. The phone also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

We are not surprised POCO is rebadging the Redmi K40 this year. Last year, its POCO F2 Pro was a rebadge of the Redmi K30 Pro and the only differences between the two were the supported network bands and RAM and storage configuration. we expect a similar situation for the POCO F3.

The POCO F3 should have a 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display. The Snapdragon 870 processor will most likely be paired with up to 8GB of RAM as we don’t expect POCO to launch a 12GB RAM version. Alongside the 48MP primary rear camera should be an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 5MP macro camera. A 20MP sensor will sit in front for selfies.

Other specifications and features are a 4520mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, NFC, IR blaster, stereo speakers, and Android 11 pre-installed.

The phone will launch alongside the POCO F3 which is scheduled to be unveiled tomorrow as seen in the invite above. The invite is reported to have been sent out by Xiaomi Vietnam and was shared on Twitter (via @chunvn888).

POCO F3 and X3 Pro Global launch timeline and key Specs leaked

Balaji S — Thu, 04 Mar 2021 09:50:37 +0000

Recently, we saw signs of POCO prepping the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3 smartphones. Today, Indian tech influencer Mukul Sharma has come out with exclusive info regarding their Global launch and specs.

POCO F3 could be a rebrand of Redmi K40(in picture)

Mukul in a Twitter post, says that POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro Global launch could happen this month, i.e., March. Among these, the POCO X3 Pro is also set to launch in countries like India as per a recent tip by another Twitter user.

To further kindle the rumor of this launch event, POCO Global Spokesperson Angus Kai Ho Ng has already tweeted “March”. Moving on, Mukul says that POCO F3 would be a rebrand of the recently launched Redmi K40 from China.

POCO F3 Specs(Expected)

If this doesn’t ring any bells, the FCC has already certified the POCO F3 and the model number gives away that it is indeed the Redmi K40 rebrand. There are reasons why POCO could have chosen this to be the successor to the POCO F2 Pro. Xiaomi has priced the Redmi K40 aggressively at 1,999 yuan($310) in China.

And for that price, it packs in a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 870 flagship chipset, 48MP triple rear cameras, and more. Thus, it makes a perfect combo for becoming a member of the legendary POCO F-series of devices.

POCO X3 Pro Specs(Expected)

Coming back, Mukul also sheds light on the specs of the mysterious POCO X3 Pro smartphone. He says that the device will feature a 120Hz FHD+ display, 5,200mAh battery, Snapdragon 860 chipset.

This is a yet-to-be-released chipset from Qualcomm and rumors say that it could be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+. Also, the type of the display panel is expected to be an IPS LCD but let’s wait for the official info on that.

POCO garnered a fair bit of attention with the POCO F1 back in 2018. It was the cheapest flagship smartphone with a Snapdragon 845 chipset at that time. After that, the company has launched only a flagship POCO F2 Pro Globally and has been bringing a lot of mid-range and budget devices.

Let’s hope POCO surprises us in 2021 by bringing back the affordable flagship killer hype again.
