- My review of the Pocophone F3 from Xiaomi. The best performance phone from Pocophone. Xiaomi is using this device as their global edition of the Redmi K40. With an excellent screen, Snapdragon 870 and coming in at $300-$350 this is an incredible well valued device.

I wish I could uninstall facebook from my Samsung device lol

that's right. i was talking to you. specifically. =) that phone is still so good
same here, still a beast after 2+ years

He replied 🙃
I too! We still don't have many phones in the same price range with Snapdragon 845 and 4K 60FPS shooter.
Poco is what One plus should've been. A Flagship killer. You either die a flagship killer or live long enough to become the flagship.
enough to become the flagship. aka overpriced all flagship trash is overpriced to pay marketing trash at top
-MKBHD
True true
@@jomsies , hardware value is not everything , software matters too and people Love Oneplus at that thing , that's the sole reason they pay more for it than Xiaomi , Vivo ,Oppo and others also they have made a pretty gud brand value which is a cherry on top
@@jomsies it was the same spirit anyway, I loved my 1+1! After this got a Mi A1, Mi A2, and now ordered the F3 with the early bird price, so, after 7 years i'm coming back to my roots, only paying 299€ (same as 1+1) for a flagship killer haha.
Virtually the only big tech reviewer on CZcams who at least mentions custom rom support. It's always the first thing I look for in a phone
linus does
fuck yes
They are rare
i like custom roms especially the LineageOS
Custom rom users are not even 1% of the smart phone users. I never seen someone using custom rom in real life

Same here bro such a great device still in 2021
@@johnbrooks6243 Said by the guy who didn't watched full video 🤣
I was surprised to see F3 shooting 4k 30 fps but Poco F1 can do 4k 60 Fps, lmao
Same here. Almost 3 years. I will replace the battery in a couple of months and I'll keep using it
Last time I was this early, OnePlus was the flashship killer. Now Poco is the new flagship killer!!
And oneplus is practically flagship 😂
I am so late here, now poco phone is flagship with price tag of 999$ with sd1000😂

I bought the Poco F1 on the first flash sale. It's been almost 3 years and I haven't had a single issue with the phone yet. Still using it like it's a 2021 phone. Pixel Experience ROM makes it even better!
I also have poco f1 and for the price I got it im really glad I bought it. But the only drawbacks are a software which isn't smooth and polished and camera isn't in that good of a quality. But other than that for me almost 3 years with this smartphone have been great.
@@jekabscudars9482 I agree. That's why I'm using Pixel Experience ROM and Google camera
How to install that custom ROM on POCO devices? Any specific website or something like that???
Miui 12 is the biggest problem
@@sachinkeniya5856 you can find it on xda. Tons of tutorials out there.
Loved the mention of Poco F1. One of the proud owner, and still rocking it because for me there was no other device fully packed like the F1 was on it's day. And now this Poco f3/K40 piqued my interest.
Why are you proud of owning a phone ? you didn't build it or design it, its just like saying you are proud for having burger for lunch.
@@Alhussainba u look so smart.
it's just funny how a phone like this has a price of a midrange smartphone yet its specs are on a flagship level. well done xiaomi!
I want to know about the built quality whether the phone would survive for 3 years?
@@ananthuxtreme7151 the build quality is nice since the front and back does have gorilla glass 5 and the frame is plastic which actually helps for you to not feel the heat when the phone is getting warm unlike the aluminum frames. i think it will last you more than 3 yrs tbh if you take good care of it and use phone cases
Thanks👍
@@Mist11305 well the plastic keeps in the heat, which may do damage to the processor. Aluminum conducts the heat actin/g like a giant heat sink which keeps the cpu cool. Also how the heck do i buy the dang thing
@@user-qk8rt9yf9v yes, plastic has both pros and cons. and i think you can buy it in online stores such as aliexpress idk

Being a Poco F1 user, I can definitely say that Dave is absolutely right about Poco/Pocophone F1's performance. Using this phone from the last 2 years and it still feels as new as day one. No performance issues, no lags or whatsoever. Poco really delivered with Poco F1 3 years back.
I got the 256 GB armored edition for only 17k. If this isn't a steal deal I don't know what else is. Poco F1 is one of the best phones of all time.
@@rakshitaswal yeah brother. One of the best thing about Poco F1 was its value for money quotient. It was absolutely bang for buck. I own 128GB version and never felt any complaints about the phone.
Same here poco f1 128gb version . I got it for 15k
Also a poco f1 user
Sam I have a Poco fi ma this phone is amazing
My F1 acted up after watching reviews on the F3 lol
Senses the replacement coming. Well, my Redmi Note 7 accepted it's faith gracefully as I replaced it with Redmi Note 10 Pro.
well, time to upgrade
(I always try to find a silly reason just to upgrade xD)
jk: I used Samsung Note 4 for 7 years. What a tough phone that one was.
Time for a new one
@@hircine92h I used it as well it was my father's but that was the first phone I used as mine but the processor died after a few years and the cost of replacing was like a 3rd of the cost of the phone so I didn't do it & bought a Poco F1 which was way faster after all SD 805 vs SD 845 at less than half the price of the Note 4 but I still liked the note 4 & ofc the S-pen was a plus
@@ashyouknow7420 really? thats sad to hear. My Note 4 still working perfectly to this day, but its extremely outdated now so I don't use it. I have my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro instead and its excellent.
Yeah I still use Poco F1 😁 Still no issues with it. . . I use a Google Pixel Cam mod that does the job for me😜
Same with me too. Excellent phone
#Metoo
Im about to say something similar, as im write this comment using one, still no issue except playing high graphic game like pubg 2021, abit laggy and about to buy poco f3 tbh
The pixel cam started crashing after 18 months of use for me. Anyone else face the same issue?
Haha same :)
Poco phone came as a flagship Killer
Stays as a flagship Killer
Oneplus:
Oneplus came around 7 years back, poco is taking its time.
One plus was amazing flagship killer but they are trying to target a audience who cares about the flagship name not specs, if this makes any sense
Left the chat
Not yet. The time will come
It's inevitable. As a company, you have to seek growth. How are you going to explain to your investors: "Oh nah, we're just gonna chill here at the mid range market and we're not looking to target a more profitable audience"
rocking Poco f1 since mid-2018. Custom ROMs plus Google camera ports support is so good that I am still using it as a daily driver.
Can you share the link to the ROMs?
@@006rajveersingh7 I'm currently using Awaken OS 11 with NGK Kernel
Can you tell me how can I use that on my phone?
The fact that you have to use a custom Rom in the first place which most people don't know how to even install just goes on to show how bad Xioami phones are with their excessive bloatware and shady 'personalized' ads.
@@Tom_Stevens617 well it goes both ways for other companies, if people want great specs but not so great ui then they go with xiaomi. If they want good ui and decent but not great specs then they go for other brands. People can change a ui on a phone but not the specs, if they want both in xiaomi budget phones then they're gonna have to do a bit of learning and tinkering to get it. You're just salty that xiaomi sells more in budget segment than oneplus you fanboy
Like the easines of your delivery.No extra producing of video,just a honest talk .Easy to ears and not anoying.Relly refreshinf
Yeah!!!! Dave2D recognising the custom ROM community!
Which is like less than 0.1% of people, and even this number is still probably a high ball.
@@Tom_Stevens617 Dang, sadly yes. Oh well! Still happy to see it mentioned!
@@Tom_Stevens617 They are enthusiasts though and probably the people everyone asks for recommendations when they are buying phones. Also, these people is more possible to write articles online and post on forums and reddit about their smartphone experience. It’s a 0.1% that probably affects 10% of smartphone purchases!
@@cryptonative When you put it into that perspective, it actually makes sense. Thanks for explaining it that way!👍🏻
Mate where can I look for this?? My friend is gonna buy a Mi 10T Pro and I wanna help him out getting rid of the bolatware and stuff. I am also gonna buy the F3.
OMG that intro with a mini bass drop is sooooooo cool if you’re wearing headphones! Love your work man, keep it up!
Right?! I thought I was the only one who noticed 😂
My Poco F3 just arrived today and so far so AWESOME! 🎉 This video was definitely the convincing factor for me to choose the Poco F3 over the A52. Thanks Dave!!
I love when phone manufacturers make the back layout look like a camera with their brand/text in landscape vs portrait.

Watching this on my One+ 6 which came with SnapDragon 845 Chip. 3 year old device still performs like a champ. That chip was a Beast back in its day. 🔥
It's a subpar and lackluster phone in 2021, and it most certainly does not perform like a 'champ', whatever you intended that to mean.
@@Tom_Stevens617 Don't know about that. That chips still slaps. I use my F1 to game on COD Mobile, looking forward to the F3 for the same. The 845 really still works really well.

Poco is just crazy. Every single phone they released in each price point is a killer whether it's entry-level, mid-tier, or flagship killer.
Poco is the new OnePlus. 😎
And their phones look really decent too...
@@PSYCHOV3N0M oneplus is much more expensive. Even xiaomi is cheaper
@@RafLurv Hence why I said that Poco is the new OnePlus.
OnePlus lost its reputation as the flagship killer like 2 years ago. Poco took its place. Xiaomi is kicking ass across all price ranges.
Lol kinda accurate
Poco M3=Entry level
Poco X3=Mid level
Poco F3=Flagship killer
That's really good, considering the price. Finally, we have a flagship killer in the markets again
Unless you live in the States, wish they were easier to get here
@@TTWGD3 its easy to get these here in india

👍
Exactly, it's still top tier
Same here😀😀😀
POCOPHONE F1!! A LEGEND STILL A LEGEND 🔥
Same here 🤣🤣
I like what Poco did, focusing on the processor of the phone and going for a 48 mp camera. I mean like for me, a 48 mp is enough to take clean and smooth videos. I don't really need higher end camera systems cause I can just edit my photos and I mostly do gaming, so I think this is a pretty good deal
DAVE can sell anything. He is so convincing that now even I wanna buy the POCO, I know I don't need it but Dave you just made me!
He could even sell his own bathwater if he wanted lol
I'm a beginner phone enthusiasts and I agree with him, even In iPhone, I'd agree that it's minimal and made for professional, not idiots.
Dave can sell sand in the desert
buy a used oneplus 7t
He.. only talks about numbers and a really shallow first impression. He can “sell anything” only to dumb people 🤦♀️

@@Tom_Stevens617 50 less dollars but you are not getting anywhere close to flagship processor and the screen is 90hz not 120
@@shrayesraman5192 and the screen himself brightness and amoled haha....
Not in any way. The OS has multiple pre installed apps. You can turn off all ads on MIUI, I know because I use it. Stop talking bullshit, lmao.
You're still getting a OnePlus at this price. It's called the Nord.
I keep looking for newer device came after F3 for 9 months now. You know what, till this day nothing beats the compromise free experience of this phone. Some minor issues in the video actually got resolved, noticably the stereo which now is much-much better.
However. There are many things reviewers did not talked about:
1. The amazing auto-HDR feature. It turns any CZcams (when the detected scene is possible) to be HDR. It's not perfect but it is really noticable.
2. Always On Display that has animation, yeah.
3. Audio zoom / object-firing microphone that enhance the audio of the object that's being zoomed in in the video
4. Ultra smooth AI video that can be enabled
5. High refresh rate gaming
6. 4K HDR 10-bit H265 playback!
7. Really really good heat dissipation which make the phone throttle less than SD 888 counterparts, ended up sometimea outperforming them in long gaming sessions.
8. Almost same sized all around screen bezel, which is satisfying to look.
9. The dark mode that applies to any app (even without dark mode support)
10. AMOLED black mode, which increases black point that saves more battery
11. Very satisfying super wallpaper (pixel looking)
12. GCam compatible at best, and very quick too at snapping pictures in the dark
13. Very great macro videography
14. Motion interpolation for videos, which sometimes noticable :)
15. Full speed PS2 emulation (some even 3x render)
16. Noise-free wired audio even at very sensitive headphones like my KZ ZSN Pro
Yeah and so many little more stuffs really. Some are gimmicks but at least they deserves some attention.
Ddr5 ram and ufs 3.1 :)
The lack of a 3.5mm jack breaks my heart
Yea that's the only thing that make this phone almost perfect dont care about sd card much if u already have 128gb u can use usbc pendrive...
@@irfanyxp3489 as for me. I dont mind not having earphone jack. But 128gb, not enough for me buddy. So for me, i prefer sd slot over earphond jack. 🤣

Very well said about the POCO F1. I own it for more than 2 years now and the experience is as good as when I started using it. Already more than worth the money paid compared to the then "Flagship Mobiles" which were priced double or more with some extra features which unless you can't live without, a phone like POCO F1 will meet all your needs even now.
2:30 bruh when he said "There is no headphone jack ", my heart skipped a beat thinking he's gonna say " Nor is there a charging port" lol.
Wait till the iphone 13 comes without any ports. Your heart will stop beating. 😂

This is exactly my situation right now. I bought the F1 last 2018 and it's still rocking modern games-- and now I preordered the F3 so I could have a 5G phone.
Thanks for the review!
Yeah, my F1 is still doing it's job perfectly as well! I'm replacing it because I broke the screen (and well, the repair costs money too, so it's a good excuse to get a new phone) but the F1 is still performing great. I hope your F3 is treating you as good.
You convinced me with how well the phone will age. I had never thought of that

I'm using poco F1 since 3 years, with gcam installed it's just a perfect phone for me, it only needs a third ultra-wide lens and then it can match and even beat almost all of the budget smartphones in the market today in terms of performance and value for money.
Especially the performance
500$Galaxy A72 (2021): Snapdragon 720G
300$Pocophone F1 (2018):Snapdragon 845
Not to say the pocophone is an overall better phone, just saying that the Snapdragon 845 is still better then most phones in 2021 and 2022.
Watching this on my Poco f1. Zero complaints about the phone man. Top notch performance till today. SD845 🔥
True
Bro your totally right... Many people like me that dont have enough money to always buy expensive highend phone so we choose highend spec with midrange price... I still use my PocoF1 until now😊😊😊

You can install Google camera app on F3
Yeah . I am a student and my first smartphone is f1 (in which I'm watching this video) and in my house parents and relatives and others all have Samsung phones . And when I argued with my father to buy me a subbrand of Xiaomi Poco , he said I'm gonna regret it.
Now I feel great 🥰🥰
Samsung is starting to lose my respect. There's nothing wrong with following what other brands do. But they keep making fun of the iphone and then decide to follow what iphone is doing. I only like midrange samsung phones now but they're not even the best at that price point.
@@L.A.M.B_B4 well samsung good but not in smaller/uncatogories countries coz of exinos
@@L.A.M.B_B4 personally, I'm just not a fan of Samsung's take on android. Not to mention the multitude of security locks they put to prevent from modifying your phone. To be honest, their new flagship phones are pretty good and I wouldn't mind recommending them, but I don't really trust their mid-range to low-end phones, like the A-series. Those feel like they will be a pain in the ass to use in a few years, becoming slow and laggy. That's my impression from years ago though, not sure how the newer models would hold up.
Kudos Bro! I'm a POCO F1 User Aswell...Cheers to the original POCO!!
The only thing stopping me from using Samsung phones is their software, I hate it! It’s way to slow for me.
Am watching on my Poco F1. I still think F1 is the only flagship killer till date. Nice review as always Dave. 👍🏼
Im still using the F1 and planing to get the F 3 next year 🤠
this video made me buy my poco f3 on July. amazing product. no regret at all🔥🔥
5:51 Samsung and 3 years of software updates were not a thing for a long time. I like this change =D
Watching this on my Poco F1 😁
I totally agree with you regarding Poco's endurance and true, such phones are commendable with corresponding compromises. I personally want the screen, gaming performance and a lil bit of storage capability if possible. The rest is not so much of a requirement for me 😁
Remember how poco team tried hard to keep up the camera on F1, hope they will do with F3 also
what do you mean exactly? i wasnt around the tech community around that time but i am considering this as the spec sheet is very promising
@@mozkebab8260 At launch it didn't have good Night mode images and 960FPS slowmo, but the Poco team delivered that via OTA. That's all I remember, there might be more.
Still today Poco F1+GCam can outweigh many higher priced phones' cameras
@@mozkebab8260 they improved f1 camera by optimising software and pushing updates.
Yea its all about software since u can update or change it (gcam)
Over a year with this beast, still not a phone out that can replace it!
I am viewing it on an F1 and i gotta admit, that does put a smile on my face ...thanos laugh continues
I stopped caring about custom ROMs (and jailbreaking on iOS) the moment I needed to use a banking app. Those are just impossible to give up or make compromises for, and it also feels like a waste of money to buy a second phone I have no use for just for the fun of it.
bruh, thats why you must buy android, no meed for jailbreaking
I'm a simple man, I see a Dave2d video, I watch it.
@@nilesh0334 yo chill out and breathe. people just like you add to the toxicity of the internet, objectively speaking.
After using the Poco F1 for about 3yrs, I'm upgrading to Poco F3 (branded as Mi 11X in India). What a beast F1 was. It still performs without an issue. Upgrading only because it's old, and doesn't have FHD on Netflix and other OTT platforms. Will miss my F1. Hope to get a similar experience from F3. ;)
Amazing review and the comparing with the A52 was a very good point, so we can see that thinking for a long period it's good to be with a good processor
Talking about quality display?which one is better?since A52 5g use super amoled(as we all know,s amoled is improvement from amoled panel)and has higher ppi too...(not include the maximim nits..i talking about display quality)
I think the back class starts to scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7
underrated comment
Glass is glass and glass doesn't bend. While real back glass would scratch at a level 6 or 7, this one scratches at a level 2, with deeper groves at level 3
Don't scratch
@@nabeelirfan3336 huh?
Just use a fucking case problem solved, the box even comes with one.
5:55, I love how he puts in down gently even though it’s not an expensive phone 😂
it's not expensive in terms of phones but it's till expensive overall.
@@enzuki exactly
Dave was so right on this. I bought that Poco F1, cracked my screen 3 years on, bought a new phone with bumped other specs, but a slower processor. Everytime I went back to grab something off my old F1 it just feels smoother. Doesn't matter that the new phone has a 120hz display, it just doesn't feel as snappy. So I decided rather buy this F3 and then sell the other new one. It arrives in a couple days. Honestly if they just rereleased the F1 with an AMOLED screen I would just buy that, that phone never stopped delivering.
I want to buy a new device but my poco f1 with PE is running just fine.
worth upgrading to Poco F3! Once you go up to 90h (fps). you never come back
Dave are you tired? You seem very tired in this video i hope everything is okay :)
just kids =) THEY DESTROY SLEEPING HOURS
@@Dave2D haha, I didn't know you have kids😅 New subsciber here
I put my OnePlus 7T to rest for the Poco F3. The performance on the F3 is amazing super quick and the gaming experience is far superior than the one I had on my 7T. The only thing I miss about OnePlus is oxygen os, other than that I am really happy with my F3.
Such a great value for money phone. Great video. I was testing Poco F3 last week and I'm pretty impressed with the video performance
POCO F3 or Galaxy A52 5G?
Well I've had my Poco F1 for almost 3 years now and I'd pick Poco. I don't like MIUI but I use custom ROMs. I don't care much about cameras and honestly Poco's other phones are annoying as they're mostly just rebranded Xiaomi devices, but the F3 seems to be really good.
With that processor, a custom ROM like Pixel Experience+ and that display, you could use it for 5 years.
The only complaint I have with my Poco F1 is that after 3 years, the gigantic notch and chin are pretty dated. I don't particularly have an issue with 60Hz but in the year where all phones are going higher, it seems a bit dated. Also the display is LCD. There's a fair bit of burn in after 3 years and I really want AMOLED
The Poco F3 has 120Hz, no giant notch, a slight chin which doesn't even matter, and AMOLED. It checks all the boxes plus it comes with the SD870.
The A52 5G is a nice phone, but I'd take the Poco F3
i am a bit late, but should i buy Poco f3
Xiaomi pumping so many phones it's hard to keep up 🙃
Well as a consumer it doesn’t matter that much. Indian consumers would just focus poco phones or realme; iPhones and premium Samsung phones are out of league in India. Japanese consumers just mindlessly buy iPhones and Koreans stick with most Samsung anyways, just like most Chinese consumers focusing on domestic brand like Oppo Vivo Huawei and Xiaomi, and occasional iPhones. Realme and poco phones are barely sold elsewhere outside South Asia
Yep, I'm the barely group, F2 pro in Texas!!!
I felt so good when he said Poco F1. Commenting from that phone. This phone never gonna die.🤭
@@Tom_Stevens617 don't fix what aint broke, the phone is still amazing and with a custom ROM it can easily be used as a daily driver
@@Tom_Stevens617 jesus bro rude af
@@Tom_Stevens617 stfu :)

5:34 Yeah😊..after two years later the poco f3 is still beast❤🎉
Real bro
Let's be honest someone who is looking for a 150-400 dollar phone won't be comparing his device to an iPhone or a Samsung note😂
It only lacks on cam...
Quite the contrary , the poco f3 has more computational power than the galaxy note 20 ultra (exynos edition)
And every guy who's into tech knows that iphones are shit (for that price tag)
@@ranja5962 Yeah and those people you talk about are a small audience. Most casuals don't care and that is where samsung and apple make their money, not the niche audience./
@@Jus-Tin welp, they're the ones getting ripped off 🤣
@@ranja5962 those people have enough money to not worry about that 😂🤷🏻♂️
Watching this on the F1. I'll upgrade whenever 5g is really widespread. And there's nothing I can't do with the F1. Using beryllium ROM and Dave is absolutely right about the community support. It's truly good.
Smart!
I bought F3 about a month ago and its soo good.. first time using a xiaomi/poco phone and im soo satisfied.
Idk if that one has liquid cooling technology thing built in but this one almost never gets heated by playing high graphic games or by using heavy apps.
I recommend it.
If only my poco F1 touchscreen are responsive enough to play Rythm Games, maybe i still using that. I just can't stand the touchscreen anymore after enduring it for 2 and half year fiddling with custom ROM and magisk module. Oh yeah and the LCD starting to get retention too.
@wuiggy the camera sensor is good, but MIUI's camera app is crappy. I use GCam, it's 🔥
Genshin players: we have been summoned
The review was really nice. And you are right that a processor is one of the key measurement when it comes to long term usability as I am still using Poco F1 since 2019.
I was contemplating between the A52 5G vs the F3. I really like the sleek lines of the A52 but I ended up getting the F3 for obvious reasons. Cheaper price and better overall specifications.

Will there likely be a Poco F3 Pro?
Hope it will be a flagship killer.
OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro are not that affordable anymore but I still think its good.
Already is, and no it's not what you think. Check it out. IPS screen.
Yeah, there is. Also a Pro Plus/ Mi 11X Pro or something.
k40 pro = f3 pro
thanks for the info everyone
@@Incaensio are you talking about the poco f3's screen? It's amoled with 120Hz RR
I'm Latino, from Uruguay specifically, I don't speak English at least for now and I want to thank you, honestly there are only 2 or 3 maximum creators in Spanish who make reviews of such quality, even you mentioned ro community support and custom roms, that's amazing, for those of us who are more tech savvy it's amazing it's like being given a raspberry pi, we will just play with it and it will be amazing, thank you really, there is no content of this quality in my language, I want to thank Google subtitle translation, it really changes my experience using CZcams
2:57 wow! Competition is seriously super good rn.
I always love the clean and clear look of Dave about devices. Yeah, this is what the F3 is. Unsurpassed value for money. It can hold up in most important areas against flagships (Design, speed and screen) . But at this price point a great camera shouldn't be too high on your list.
Genshin impact is getting famous in Mobile platforms too💙.
Well,
that's simple to explain, it's a heavy game, it's a benchmark to test the phone's power.
it's the cyberpunk of phones
Well Genshin impact did get to be on the elite seats through being popular on Mobile platforms
I used to play that in my PS4 but I was only amazed when I saw how good it was optimised for a handheld device for a game of that much calibration
@@fallzero7304 Genshin Impact is originally designed for mobile devices. Later on it came to other platforms. So naturally "handheld" devices have good optimisation.
@@GamersUnite-g6x Oh I didn't know that
Well either way it felt like a better RPG than almost every other produced from China
Wish I could give you two thumbs up. Thanks for the review man.🤝🏾
THIS IS NOT THEE DAVE2D, FYI!
Thank you, I was about to go off 🙈😂
@@minafrederica6919 @Elizabeth Rodriguez is correct. The bully was Dave 2D w/a space after Dave. #SpeakUpForLee
What game is he playing?
@@samiranranaway7 It’s called cyberbullying. He did what he (and too many) thought were funny “roasts” but true roasts involve the individual who laugh at themselves. Even after being told to stop doing this to Lee he continued bc he was losing subscribers ie., money. 2 days after he last cruelly lied abt her ring leading others to send her hate mail via IG & YT relentlessly for months, that one was the last straw & she ended her life on Friday 3/26.
He KNEW she was struggling w/depression (she was open abt it trying her best to be a mental health advocate to reduce stigma). FMI go to the GoFundMe being managed by her last love Jordan but supported by family & friends to create a foundation to end cyberbullying & create awareness of how to get help, to teach us all that the severe pain of mental illness is the same as that of physical illness and to continue her brave work of advocacy that will fulfill an unmet need in our online & real communities.
Search for #SpeakUpForLee to find the GFM page and/or go to her IG page “Living With Lee” to read about the foundation.
Most of all pass it on...
“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”
The good news is that ppl have evidence of his bullying. AND bc he was warned to stop, he can and I hope will be held criminally liable. We just have to get the evidence to the authorities if not simply the media. Spread the word.
You can also listen to Eamon & Bec’s podcast #5 dated March 1 with Lee that references the bullying & the toll it was taking; they were/are her devastated good friends. Lee felt she should be able to take but Bec (and everyone w/a heart) knew even the strongest of us can only take so much. Here’s the link if YT will post it.

I've got an F1, now it feels right to update it to F3 :-)
Do it!
Yes the f3 looks like a great deal
I am still using the pocof1 and oh boy the 845 is still very much better then lots of the one coming out!
Curious about how Poco's Android UI is compared to Xiaomi's, do the Pocos have ads like how Xiaomi puts some ads in the UI of their MIUI in some markets?
@@OfSheikah They show up sometimes like after installing an apps. Regarding the ads its the same as the regular MIUI as POCO's UI is basically the same with some little minor tweaks to the original UI.
Watching this on my Pocophone F1 (actually revisiting it), and to this date, what you've said in this video holds true. My Pocophone F1 aged well enough (except the speaker performance deteriorated badly). I'm using a Gcam port to compensate for the mediocre camera system. But the fluidity exists even now.
