Performed really well in golden reviewer's gaming test

@phonecomp

Жыл бұрын

Hey Rogue! I believe it! It's a solid gaming phone for most users for sure. It's just falling short in Genshin when you push it to the max and it can't pass two stress tests in ideal conditions. No case, pretty low ambient temperature (it's getting cold where I live), and no performance mode turned on. That makes me fearful about regions that are much warmer and how this device will perform. Especially since I had comments that the 11T Pro had thermal issues. I was surprised since the 8+ Gen 1 performed really well in the OnePlus 10T. Xiaomi just needs to manage thermals better on their higher end devices.

I want to download the Gcam app and I don't know how. Do you have a video about that? Mobile is 12T Pro

Just sharing my experience - I tested the displayed 12T Pro model in a Mi store here in the Philippines. Installed 3DMark and Geekbench (can't find Antutu in Play Store). Was able to finish 3DMark Wild Life Extreme at 16FPS, and maxed out result the standard Wild Life test. Geekbench just a little higher than Poco F4 GT (can't remember exact numbers), but none of the tests crashed, though I only ran them once. There's noticeable heating of the body after each test. Can't comment on camera since it's inside the store so there's really no other environment to test.

Thanks Angelo! Glad to hear it's performing similarly. It was close to finishing the Wild Life Extreme Stress Test--i think it failed on the 17th loop. Hopefully Xiaomi will make some software adjustments and solve the overheating issue.

Hello Colman! I liked the Note 11 Pro Plus and as far as everyday performance it was fast enough for me. You're really just looking at two different tiers of value here. If you do more processor intensive things with your device then I'd say go with the 12T Pro. It will win with gaming, photo and video shooting, etc. So if you need the higher end performance definitely go with the 12T Pro.

Hello Medo! How about the OnePlus 10T? It really comes down to what you want to do with the device (and if you don't mind MIUI). The 12T and 10R are pretty comparable on paper (I have not tested either though). I would go with the OnePlus because I prefer ColorOS, and I'm guessing that their cameras are pretty similar.

The Xiaomi 12T Pro was on my crosshair few days ago. But I couldn't make up my mind until I bought the Poco F4. Since you had all of these phones which one has a natural-looking skin tones, better dynamic range and a better audio pickup using the selfie camera: OneOlus 10T, Xiaomi 12T Pro or a Poco F4?

@phonecomp

Жыл бұрын

Gino, I'd say natural skin tones-10T or F4 with GCam, technically the 12T Pro for dynamic range (but it was pretty hit or miss), audio would either be the 12T Pro or 10T. At least from what I recall. I think you can get what you want out of the F4 though!

I also reset it at least once or even twice to squash all the bugs (hopefully). Is that what you do as well? If I'm not happy with the F4 I'll probably revert back to a OnePlus 9 or just get a 10T as it's currently below £500 which in thought it should have been from the start. I also wanted to ask if you tried downloading ROMs for MIUI? Not the Custokm ones but the "official" Poco ones that you can find in their app or website?

@@ashyouknow7420 Understand. That is a good deal at least. Poco fixed all the bugs on my F3 after a while, hopefully the same will be true of the F4. I honestly thought there wouldn't be any bugs since the F4 is basically the F3, but I was wrong.

Just use a phone cooler to help with the overheating and it simply works well. Also haven't experienced the bugs you experienced so it was probably patched when I got mine. MY main complaint is this phone not having mhl since I like to use my phone as a gaming emulation machine attached to a tv and controller but I was able to solve that issue with a displaylink dock which I already had and didn't know the feature existed. Now I'm just waiting for the newer Miui 14 to be available to see if there will be more improvements on the software side of this phone. To be honest I've used redmi phones for a long time and I didn't have any issues with them or experienced any major bugs that I would have remembered.

As much as I love these Xiaomi phones (current owner of 2 generations of redmi series phones), I am getting tired of MIUI. The never ending bugs, glitches, crashes and overall OS instability is slowly getting on my nerves. I still admire their phones because of the value but it's just that MIUI is very off putting.

Hello CheeseNinja! I am getting tired of MIUI as well. I will say that most of the Poco devices I have owned long term seem to get updates that fix most if not all of the bugs I've found, but it's still a restrictive OS. Plus, now that Pixels are more widespread and offer better performance that suit the average user well--it's hard to suggest something else. After the Pixel 7a comes out, it will likely be a tougher choice. Xiaomi is even facing competition in the sub $300 range from Realme and OnePlus, and I definitely prefer Color OS to MIUI.

I've actually got a GT Neo 3T in for review right now! The regular 3 is definitely the better device, but the 3T still performs well (except for the camera). I also picked up a used S21 FE, which might actually be the best phone to pickup right now if you can find it for around 200 US dollars. Great camera- not Pixel 6a quality, but you do get a proper telephoto), very good software with frequent updates, solid battery life. I think you're on the right track with the Neo 3, but if you find a deal on the S21 FE, I would pick that up instead-unless you just really don't like OneUI. By the way, what country are you in (if you don't mind me asking)?
