Can i ask you something? K40 pro and poco f3 in terms of price, the k40 is 150€ more than the f3, why did you compare the 2 phones? Are they similiar?
@@justdoit6782 Because they are from the same series, the Poco F3 is the K40 non pro rebranded for global.
in your opinion, do u think Poco F3 Pro will be this K40 Pro model for global market? because Poco F3 is just a rebranded K40 for global market. It just weird they just announced Poco F3 for global release, no Poco F3 Pro announced
I guess they want to promote their 'getapps' App with MIUI 12.5
I know you are busy
But still please do Mi 10T pro vs Poco F3
I love your reviews. And what I think is best about them is that you always score the negative by putting texts in the video. Most reviews I see on other channels either speak very quickly about an error or simply pretend they haven't seen it when they are criticized for hiding behind it. I leave as a suggestion that you always score if the front camera has autofocus this is very important for those who intend to use it intensively, because even if the embedded camera software is not good, Gcam can save the image quality if the focus is good.
You're spoiling us with the frequency of your reviews.
Haha yes too much to do!
And quality
Wow Chris you have been at work!!! Flat out pumping the videos out. Really Impressive
Busy week, Chris. The frequency of uploaded videos the past two weeks was huge. Major stuff mixed with nice minor stuff like the mini PCs. ✌
Crazy week yes! More Mini PCs are coming.
@@Techtablets love mini pc reviews!
@@Techtablets is there screen dimming issue in k40pro like f3
@@T8_SXY. I'm curious as well.
insane number of devices this week 🤣
Good work with your full reviews 🙌🏽
Glad to see continuous uploads from you, keep up the good work!!
Wow 9th video in a week, super busy days dude. Kudos
knocking out the reviews , Great to see .
That damascus steel style back is gorgeous🤩
It is shame the POCO F3 didn't get it!
@@Techtablets yeah
Add this back and a 3.5 jack to the "F3 pro" and we will have a real winner that I will upgrade my F1 for.
@@airenesivad2975 I'm on F1 too and hoping the same about F3 Pro. The problem is that all these requests by the public (glass back, 120 hz, thinness....) lead to compromises (no SD, 3.5 jack, status led, hole display...) distort the aim of Poco (high performances, low prices, a commercial field often empty) that slightly increases the prices. This is the paradox of the "Power to the masses". They'd better put a better camera software instead of all the useless things added
@@erregi4946 F3 Pro is gonna be Mi 11i afaik.
Great review, thank you, Chris!
Great review. Pretty sure this is OK for Google services. Basically, Xiaomi didn't certify their midrange Chinese models with Google and they didn't come pre-installed with Google services framework. Therefore side loading was illegal and Google pulled them up on it. However , their China model Snapdragon 800 series phone have Google Services Framework pre-installed and have been Google certified so there should be no problem in future with miui 12.5. Still no reason to get this in Europe over the Poco F3. If it had great cameras maybe but the cameras are mediocre for the price and not much better than the Poco F3
The best and well informative review of this phone till date. Thank you.
Did get your recommendation, Redmi Note 10 Pro. Has dual SIM, & micro SD, plus 3.5mm audio jack.
Could no longer install ANTUTU; Google removed it from the Playstore, perhaps, right now (from Australia).
You choice of test as possible was good. WiFi Sweet Spot, etc.
your hair looks 1000 nits white bright in this camera 😁
xiaomi released a lot of phones but they are almost the same
not a big defference
did not understand what are they doing
thank you for your hard work
the best reviewer in youtube
Great review, as always. Just one question... What font do you have on that phone?
Pfff ... how much work !!! So many reviews in one week !! Congratulations and LIKE, Chris! A cascade of new phones at all price levels. On the one hand, it's good, but on the other hand, you really don't know what to choose. I already feel tired when I think about what will be on March 29 with the new launches from Xiaomi ....Interestingly, they all have something to draw you. This K40 Pro is a good deal on what you get. I anticipate a little, but I think the Mi 11 Ultra will be much more shocking than the recently released series. Not necessarily in terms of the money paid for it, but especially in terms of the technical innovations incorporated in it. And I'm really looking forward to the review about this Mi 11 Ultra, but also about BS4 Pro (version with 12Gb RAM) ...
Thanks! 👍 Yes more work for the 29th...
@@Techtablets "silicone oxygen anode" xiaomi's new invention for battery, RAM disk Array to BS 4 Pro ... sure it's not just words without coverage ...and it is not necessary to call here the most trained person to enlighten us...
Great review as always Chris Sir
I found in my Mi 10T (not sure if this applies to other Xiaomi device) that you can make the animations quicker (or slower, if you want I guess) through Developer options. Just scroll down until you find Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale. I'm not sure which will do the job exactly so I'd configure them however you please, either 0.5x or off completely.
I've fallen in love with Xiaomi tech since purchasing a miPad 4 a couple of years ago, then a redmi note 9s last year.
I like how so many companies decide to release their phones within 1-2 weeks of each other instead of any other time during the year. Thanks for the reviews over the past week Chris. Hope you get some well deserved rest after you're done with the phones that you plan to review.
It's been just too much. And I have more coming! These releases are too close together.
@@Techtablets don't burn yourself out man, take care of yourself
Hey chris how's the device now in late 2023 can you still recommend this device for gaming and daily use?
A small correction, the camera sensor is IMX686 also because 682/582 can't record above 4k.
And which router do you use for those wireless tests?
Anyways this is a greatly detailed review as always from you and this is definitely my favorite phone as it packs an insane value for money!
Also a very good day to upload the video as its my countries Independence Day, thank you very much.
I hate how companies remove the SD slot and headphone jack, even if the phone is great it's instantly a no-buy from me.
i will not buy a phone with no SD card support. headphone support is not a bother to me as i use Bluetooth for this
I don't really need SD Card Support, but I won't buy one without a headphone jack. This and the Poco F3 were the last in Xiaomi branded flagship phones to actually have it. The Realme GT 5G and the Motorola Edge S are the only ones I see that now has it. Realme is the only one with an Amoled display, which I also need in a flagship. The Realme GT 5G looks like it's going to be tough to find, and I'm not sure if they'll be a global version of it either. By next year I don't think they'll be anymore flagships with a headphone jack, and there may be none with SD support either. 😔
@@artdogg50 im sorry im new here. What's the issue/disadvantage of a phone not having a headphone jack?
I'm just asking: what are the issues with using the 3.5mm to USB-C Adapters?
@@yatharthsingh5349 For me it's too many accessories to attaches and oftenly misplaced lol..
And the type c port placing is not the most ideal for games, it blocks my hand.
You need a really good low latency wireless earbuds for gaming, oftenly quite expensive.
3.5mm ones are simpler.
Edit: other than playing games, I'd just use cheap wireless buds
Love the thumbnail, Chris. No frills, no gimmicks just the product.
most detailed review! follow! seems they get the sd888 okay-ish
Hello Chris really good Review. Thx a lot. Do you think that there is a possibility that the Redmi K40 Pro will be coming to europe as Poco F3 Pro?
you've got most beautiful model for camera test. nice catwalk btw. :)
That silver ring around the front facing camera is available on every phone with hard OLED display and small cutout (s20 fe, k40 series, meizu 17). Note that flat display doesn't mean it has hard OLED, phones like oneplus 8t and realme x7 pro has flexible OLED yet still has flat display
Nice video, subscribed 👊
Detailed video as always. It would be great if you could give us an update on the google services after 12.5 comes out
Unavailable on the Redmi K40 (China), available on the Poco F3 (as it's Global).
@@yatharthsingh5349 it's not confirmed yet. Xiaomi did say that it would not effect some 8xx series models.
@@tasin5541 Oh, my bad, then.
@@tasin5541 u can download google services on China Rom 12.5 as of now. They might stop it any moment tho...
Fantastic work , I hope you can review the Oppo find X3 Pro and the OP9 Pro , and compare those two ,this channel really IS the one in terms of TRULY objective and complete reviews
Thanks I will have to buy them as Oppo and Oneplus told me I'm not commercial enough my reviews so no review loan units. But now since everyone has them (the review units) I've decided not to buy them.
@@Techtablets What do they mean by "not commercial enough" ? 😂
@@123Jaden Means he's not shilling for the companies like those other flashy non-tech 'reviewers'.
Wow so many new phones and great review as always! What would be the China equivalent of the Redmi Note 10 and 10 Pro? Both K40 and K40 Pro has different specs than Note 10
What's the model/kind of thermal camera are you using?
I want to recommend that for an organization, for covid detection
Hi Chris!
Yesterday i sold my old K30 ULTRA to buy the new Poco F3. Got 300€ for my phone so it was a perfect deal and timing to buy this new one. What do you think?
Nice videos and I love ur early reviews to know more about now phones!
Awesome, thank you!
Top review!
hi chris, does happen the same with this panel as with the poco f3?
I mean the issue of getting darker and darker while the temperatures get higher while gaming or recording 4k?
You are a perfect reviewer .🤩 But unfortunately I don't know why your subscribers is so low. 🤔
well done, nice video and and very good review, but i have one question,. You said that with the miui 12.5 ( on chinese version) they will block google support, will this affect poco f3 (global version)??
No
Hello chris , can u reply my question pls ?
Should I buy K40 pro or Ip Xs for camera and audio recording ? Pls recommend .
I think this would be better than that older iPhone for video and audio.
@@Techtablets Thanks Chris ,
You are my all-time favourite reviewer !
Supporting from Myanmar .
Hello Chris, I am often visiting MIUI china forum and i can say that MIUI 12.5 will not block google play services for flaghship phones with Procesors like Snapdragon 865,888 etc. It may change but this is newest information that i found, they will mainly block google play services on mediatek chipsets.
Hope you will make review MI 11 ULTRA, i am going to buy it as soon i see it at TradingShenzhen( owner of MI 10 ULTRA)
I am a little bit disappointed with Oneplus 9 Pro
How much zoom do you get with the cameras? I take many nature pictures of birds and objects that are somewhat far away, so max zoom is an important thing for me.
great video as always
Thanks for the visit
Hello Chris, Thanks for the review. One thing is driving me nuts...I have changed 3 phones in past month. I just can't find credible info on headphone output of the phones.
I'm looking to replace my 3 year old insanely trusty Asus Zenfone 5z.
But no reasonably priced phone can match it's audio output via headphones!
Poco X3 pro No!
Redmi Note 10 pro No!
Poco f3 GT No!
Now I'm eyeing this phone or its sibling the 11x (Poco f3). Can you please tell if their earphone output is clean, loud and static free?
I have seen you make good comments about their output. But the way my asus phone sounds with Neutron music upsampling is quite hard to replace!
I bought the Reno Z2 after days, weeks and months of consideration review watching and irritation.
I should stop watching reviews for a while. 😅😂
U have been rickrolleddddd dude
..see more
@@godfatherxd7382 hahaha I totally have! 🤣🤦♀️😅👍
Well played! 👏
Hey! Thank you for the great videos and great surroundings in Denia Spain :) Do you plan on reviewing the Samsung A52 vs Poco F3 or perhaps the Xiaomi redmi note 10 pro?
And you are the only one, that test out the microphone quality and that is what I need to know, when buying a new phone, hate that Xiaomi´s 96 khz quality, never had a problem on the samsung galaxys from S3 onward!
Also I would like to know, when recording video in pro modes, if you can manually change the Focus, ISO, camera modules and other stuff while filming, not just before it.
Thank you, keep the reviews rocking! Good luck.
Very good review sir.
Good review 👍🏻
I have Poco x3 NFC and thinking about getting a new phone again but I really don't see a big enough difference to get another phone yet. Don't play games etc. 5g would be good but thats about it
Great review, covered everything!
Hi Chris, may it coming a global version too?
Hi, just wanted to ask you if you were to pick which would you ? cos I'm looking to buy one of these and just can't decide.
K40 or Note 11lite or the Note 10 pro
Go for Poco F3 or K40. Have had all of these three phones. F3 is clearly the better buy. Vastly better performance, better build quality and haptics as well.
Camera is the Sony IMX686 , not the IMX582 like you said in the video, the IMX582 is a 48mp sensor.
👏
In your poco f3 video was the link that you provided to buy the phone the same plave you bought the phone ? and is it the official xiaomi/poco store page on aliexpress ? thanks
That's where I bought it yes. Tradingshezhen.
K40 Pro vs Mi 11i (they have different cam modules) vs Mi 11 vs Mi 11 Pro! All of them are from different price brackets but it would be nice to compare them whether it's worth to pay the premium for the higher device. I'm planning to upgrade from a Mi 9T so the Mi 11i looks nice.
What would be the choice if you wanted both screen/speakers/chip of K40 pro/poco f3 but some better camera such as redmi note 10 pro, but at a decent price ?
nothing
any review for Oppo Find X3 Pro? I wonder what's the best screen
Only video that compares f3 pro without bias
Can you do a google camera vs stock camera comparison like past? Just curious.
Great reviews Chris..keep up the good work!
How about Play Protect Certification?
With CN Rom it certified or not?
Please answer 😀
I'm kinda disappointed Xiaomi stripped the K Pro series from an in-display fingerprint sensor and a pop-up camera. :/ Now i feel like it makes no sense to pay extra for the pro version, it has nothing unique to it :/ Thanks for the review - top job as always 👍
could you do a comparasion between the k40 pro and the k50 to see if the dimensity 8100 is on par with the sd888
So how do we choose between k40 Pro and mi 10 T Pro and the K ultra models. Keeping a phone for 3 years +
That golden ring on the camera is ridiculous!!
Dope T-shirt.
Compare with N10pro/mi11 face2face in 1 video. Same screen and cameras (wide/macro)?
Will a Poco f3 pro come out?
im looking for a more compact android phone thats relatively about $400 max
had my eyes on the s10/ s10e but only the exynos version is shipped where im at and its software is almost obsolete by now
any recomendations guys?
Poco F3
Can u compare redmi k40 pro and realme gt. And a opinion on which is better
Hoping there will be a global variant of this Redmi K40 Pro, probably Poco F3 Pro. So, we can flash global rom to Redmi K40 Pro and the GMS problem will be OK.
The decision would come down to the software for me. I have the F3 and it's definitely flagship hardwear. Well, lower-end flagship - it's similar to an Iphone 12, let's say. But the software is buggy right now. I mean, I can't really make calls that easily right now, because of bugs - they're pretty high profile and glaring! So, if Redmi have bug free software, I'd probably go with that in hindsight, even if it is a little slower. Or you could buy the F3 and assume Poco will fix the bugs later this year, which the will.
You know they are nade by the same company right?:/It's just a name difference,and the software it's the same just with a little design difference
What’s the game you are playing at the beginning ?
Is there mode long exposure on the camera k40 pro Mr.
i really love the camera layout. awesome detailed review ☺
Poco F3 have issue when playing genshin, its screen dimming.
Please compare K40 pro and F3 🌻
Idk both of them are the same right ??
I mean poco is branded as k40 in china
which one is the best buy Xiaomi mi 10 vs Redmi K40 pro?
Does it have a native call recorder on call dialer screen?
It's super convenient and great for my note takings, references and business dealings.
Nowadays only Chinese rom seem to have , I don't like Chinese roms without GMS certificates but I still have it because for the native call recorder on dialer screen.
I am thinking of buying this one on Chinese rom and mi ultra on global Rom
Please let me know if any of such redmi phone crashes and we are supposed to flash the ROM then which is the best website
Many of the camera shortcomings are fine in the Pro+ version with the 108mp sensor.
Given the existence of the Pro+ with 108mp and 12gb of ram the "simple" pro version looses appeal imho
Nicely done
If you shoot 8K and deliver in 4K, you don't _usually_ need a gimbal or tripod. You can just stabilize the video in post if motion blur is not very strong.
The Damascus pattern is so cooll..why Poco dont use it in F3, i just dont understand.
Anyway it's good review. Trusted tech reviewer ⭐👍
Thanks for watching

@@Techtablets I see, thanks for these great reviews!
So absolutely no reason for this model since there is the (cheaper) Poco F3.
@@Kikwatz Well if they fix the camera issues, it might be slightly better than the F3 (but the price difference definitely kills it). But then the K40 Pro is not sold globally, so I guess it would already be a turn off for most people.
Wow... You're really rolling out the reviews, huh? Do you even get to rest? Not that I'm complaining though... Great review as always... And love that clip on Vera... (Got my tuxedo cat fix taken cared of) Thanks. ;))
If i can buy this phone for less than the Poco F3 and with a global rom, is it overall a better phone? How would you compare the battery life with the F3? Overall it seems excellent, that is my only (slight) concern
Does it turn off the screen when we listen voice on massenger or telegram like poco f3?
Nice review. But the K40 Pro has a Sony IMX686 and it's starting to get weird. The Poco F2 Pro has the same camera, probably the same module, because it has the same parameters, even the aperture. Photos from Poco F2 Pro are bad, if the light is not the best, I will look like a shi t. Lots of noise, faded paint or as an oil painted texture. And this phone, has the same camera and photos, looks good? Is it just SW optimization or postprocess in the camera application? Or is the difference SoC (Qualcomm 865 vs 888)? And this happens in many Xiaomi phones. They share the same cameras, but the results are completely different. And these modules are also used in other brands and have different results. These are almost always Sony Exmor or Samsung ISOCELL cameras in Xiaomi phones. So is it all about photo processing sw that makes a difference, and Xiaomi only differentiates high-end and mid-range using a sw camera? And the second thing, when you compare photos from phones as 3-4 years ago, top models, the photos look much better than today's flagships. Especially noise. Like the Huawei Mate 20, the Samsung S7 or S10 can take better photos than today's 64 Mpx or 108 Mpx camera phones. I have a feeling that there is only pure marketing around MPX and the number of cameras, but as a result the quality of photography deteriorates and only in specific situations, when it is necessary to show a novelty, it photographs well.
Ok, so redmi k40 pro or poco f3? Which one should I buy?
Hi. Redmi k40 pro vs poco f3 vs oneplus 9r. Which is better?
hi wanna ask. as your review you think which is better poco f3 or redmi k40 pro ? pls reply tq

The difference is small between two phone.If you dont band problem,import K40 from China.If you care about missing band,buy the Poco F3
Hey Chris, I had a video suggestion maybe you could do, last years Mi 10T Series vs this Poco F3 Series?
Poco will surely win... Even poco F2 beats mi10t series for me as amoled screen will always be my go to
@@nilskiemle9556 mi 10t for better camera and build quality. Poco for display and little higher cpu clock.
@@_H_A_R_S_H_I_T_ this f3 has the same build quality, better performance than even the s21 ultra, and a camera that's sometimes even on the level of the iphone 12 (search poco f3 vs iphone 12 for evidence), so better in every way
@Kenn Honson X Not worldwide. It's the exynos 2100. Also, the 888 has very big heat issues and throttles to become slower than even the 865+ sometimes let alone the 870
@Kenn Honson X doesn't matter, s21 ultra just has bad cooling then or whatever.
The main camera of the redmi k40 pro is the sony imx 686 not the imx 582 like u said. However 150€ more than the poco f3 for the cameras and snap 888 I think its honest raise.
