Poco F3 GT Review and Comparison vs OnePlus Nord 2 | Best Phone Under Rs 30,000? By MySmartPrice English

So right after the launch of the OnePlus note 2 5g. We also have the Poco f3 gt with us, and it's time yet again for that famous OnePlus Poco battle, and I know that a lot of you folks are waiting with baited bread to find out which one of these two phones should you pick up so without wasting any time? Shall we do the math? My name is Assad you're watching my smart price, and this is our full review of the Poco f3 gt and detailed comparison against the OnePlus not to 5g, but before we move on, don't forget to hit that red subscribe button and the bell icon right next to it, because we're trying to get 100k really soon, and we need all your support. Let's move on, starting with the design, the two phones offer completely different design aesthetics. While the nod has a more conventional industrial design, the f3 gt goes for a gamer aesthetic see. I know, design is subjective, but I'd really like to meet the designer or the product engineer who thought that it was a good idea to actually scribble words. Nonsensical words such as freezing and speediest on their phone doesn't look very premium, especially considering the fact that this phone is made of premium materials.

Yes, the f3 gt has a glass sandwich design with gorilla glass 5 on the front and the back, which is the same as the not too, but it also has an aluminum frame compared to the north that has a plastic one and the f3 gt has a tinier camera bump too. The other design flare that really doesn't work for me is the flash that looks like a flash gamers really like flashy stuff. Don't they okay, that's too much use of flash? As for the size, the CGT is slightly wider and taller than the not two. That's because it has a larger display too, but I feel that the RPG does a better job of screen to body ratio too, thanks to the comparatively smaller chin, and it has a better weight distribution compared to the not too as well, but all that doesn't matter when it comes to the in-hand feel of both the phones, because the motto does feel more foldable thanks to the higher degree of curvature on the rear, glass and the smaller form factor in general for what it is worth. The rear, glass or both these phones are resistant to fingerprint smudges, and that is a huge relief.

The Poco f3 gt's other advantage are the mechanical triggers for an enhanced gaming experience more about that in my performance section. But what you need to know is that it makes the right edge very busy at the bottom portion of the right edge does graze against your palm while holding the phone, making it mildly irritating. Now you get a tire c port at the bottom of both the phones and both offer. Only USB 2.0 speeds and both the phones also offer dual sim card trays at the bottom, with no way to expand the memory, but the f3 gt has an advantage with its true stereo speakers setup and support for Dolby Atmos. It does sound better than the north in the lower frequency ranges with a lot more weight to the base here.

Listen to it for yourself now, that's not it. The Poco f3 gt also offers high-res certification for both wired and wireless audio, and you get a type-c dongle in the box, which means, if you are an audio nerd, the f3 gt is clearly the better phone for you. Another ace up its sleeve is uh the ip53 dust and water resistance which the not 2 doesn't offer. Now, if you ask me, I feel that the OnePlus note 2 has a more cohesive and more attractive design compared to the Poco f3 gt, but you cannot discount the functional advantages that the Poco f3 gt brings to the table. As for the display, the f3 gt has a larger 6.67 inch AMOLED panel, with a 120 hertz refresh rate compared to the smaller 6.43 inch fluid AMOLED panel, with a 90 hertz, refresh rate on the note 2. Plus you get Wi-Fi and l1 support and HDR playback from the Netflix app on the f3 gt.

Last I checked, while the note 2 does have wide one l1, it still doesn't offer HDR playback on Netflix, plus the peak brightness in my standard HDR test is slightly lower. On the OnePlus note 2. In fact, even regular brightness outdoors is slightly better on the Poco f3 gt. The other problem is the north doesn't offer a good color tuning either. The f3 gt's settings page offers a more granular control for tweaking the colors plus you can get a tuning that is close to natural on the f3 gt compared to the note 2, which is a huge advantage for the purists for those who are not display nerds.

This should be a total non-issue, though the f3 gt also offers a higher touch response rate of 480 hertz, which is much higher than what the not 2 can achieve. The difference is palpable, while gaming, a part of the not 2's display, is also the in-display fingerprint scanner that is superfast to unlock, but I'm biased towards sign mounted fingerprint scanners like the one on the f3 gt. It just feels more intuitive, convenient and fast. As for the haptic feedback, the knot 2 has the Poco f3 gt conveniently beat it feels more precise, tight and gently very good. It is not like the FTG is bad, not even remotely, but just that the not too is better.

Overall, though, the Poco f3 gt has a better display compared to the OnePlus note, 2 easy victory for the Poco f3 gt out. Here. All the points we're comparing here. I really want to see how the 64 mp camera on the f3 gt. Supposedly, an Univision of 64b sensor compares to the Sony mix 766 when it comes to the image quality and what you're going to see next is definitely going to surprise you, but before that, let's take a look at the rest of the camera setup.

You get an eight megapixel ultra-wide angle, camera on the two phones and the tertiary camera of the not too it's a two megapixel monochrome sensor, whereas on the f3 gt it is a macro shooter. On the front, you get an upgraded 32, megapixel primary camera compared to the 16 megapixel unit on the f3 gt. Let's get down to the comparison now, let's start with the close-up shots and by the way these are nonuser shots, and I can't really tell the difference. I really cannot these look like photos shot by the same phone. The only difference is the f3 gt has slightly better contrast, making the outlines look better defined.

Therefore, it has a slight edge here, but most people won't really care. Talking about the details in this shirt, you will notice that the f3 gt does tend to over sharpen the leaves on the tree, which is visible on close crop. The not two's texture detail is more natural. Looking when there is no HDR processing involved, of course, evaluating the color science in nonusers. Shots are such a tough task, but I figured it out the OnePlus note 2 has closer to natural colors.

The ft gt looks incredibly close to not too in terms of color science, but the difference is the added contrast because of which you get slightly deeper blues greens and reds. As a result, again, the difference is nearly negligible. By the way did you notice that the Norton has a wider field of view on the main camera now, anyway, moving on when it comes to HDR shots, OnePlus's algorithm goes nuts, and I've mentioned this in the OnePlus naught review as well. In the very first shot. You can clearly see that the knot 2 has made the image look unnatural, with its height and blues and greens plus.

It has soft details in certain areas and over sharpened it in certain others, and when it comes to resolving the highlights in the shadows, both are pretty decent. However, in the second shot, the north does have a better control over the highlights, which I noticed, often while testing but yeah, the f3 gt, doesn't over process and botch up the color science or the details, which definitely gives it an advantage by the way. During my testing, I also noticed that polo's, auto HDR algorithm is very iffy and doesn't fire even when the scene clearly demands it. So you might want to toggle the HDR manually if you see that some portions in your shot might get overexposed now the ultrawide shots from both the phones look, absolutely identical. If I showed you these pictures, without telling the name of the phone you wouldn't be able to tell these pictures were captured by two different phones.

But yes, the contrast is slightly better on the f3 gt like it is in primary camera shots as well. I want to clear one lingering doubt that a lot of folks had from our previous camera comparisons. Whenever we say human subject shot or a portrait shot presume that we've actually taken it from the rear camera, because that's generally what we do and uh you know if we are actually taking a selfie picture or a selfie portrait, we will mention that clearly in the tag above now with that out of the way you can clearly tell from these samples that the note 2 has a better picture here with good control over the highlights on the face and natural details. The facial tone is slightly veering towards the red color, but it is not entirely off I'd easily pick the knot too, as the winner here. But yes, you see that the depth on the rear is more pronounced on the f3 gt because of the larger aperture that it has.

But once again, when there is processing involved, OnePlus drops the ball. It smoothens out the detail on the face in portrait: shots using the rear camera. Also, the f10 gt's edge detection is better and the depth of field effect looks pretty natural as well. When it comes to selfies. I really like what the note 2 can reproduce.

It looks more realistic and offers natural details compared to the overtly contrast look of the f3 gt selfie. Now this is a look that some might prefer, but technically it is not accurate and in HDR selfies the f3 gt actually has a problem with creating a distinct tone. Matte look with halo and color fringing around the edges of the objects. In the background, you will see this problem crop up later as well. In selfie portraits the not too clearly looks better again.

It doesn't look over processed, which is a good thing. Moving on to low light shots in the first sample of the scene outside the north 2 and the FTG, don't look too different, except for the height and color of the sky, on the f3 gt, but with the night mode on the FTG compensates by over sharpening very badly and when it gets even darker indoors, the north does a better job. Once again, the light sensitivity of the mix 766 sensors is better for sure, and the night mode performance is good too. That is also because of the presence of OS which eliminates any shakes to offer a crisp shot in low light. Selfies again, the note 2 is just better.

No questions asked now moving on to video recording, which is the final bit of our comparison. Both the phones can do only up to 4k 30 fps video recording, and they look very similar, except for the better contrast on the f3 gt, as was the case with the image processing. The stabilization looks very similar on both dynamic range performance and sound recording is near identical to really very little telling the two apart, except for the contrast, hey guys now, I'm shooting a 4k 30 fps video using the polo, f3 gt and, of course, the one plus not to do. Let me know in the comment section below what is that about the image quality, the image tablet stabilization and the sound recording as I walk and show you guys what the stabilization looks like, and I'll suddenly pan around and show you guys how it looks when you look into the sun and how the dynamic range performance is, but when it comes to recording videos with the front camera, there are some differences. Both the phones can shoot only up to 1080p 30fps videos.

The f3 gt has an edge with image stabilization, but the note 2 definitely offers better environmental noise cancellation and a cleaner, sound recording. So both the phones stop out at 1080p 30fps using the front camera. Evidently, we can do stabilization, which the OnePlus not too cannot there's a special HDR mode for shooting videos in f3 gt, and it looks absolutely horrendous with a distinct tone mapped face. Both the phones also offer a dual view: video recording option, thanks to the powerful processor, I think the not two's wider frame helps with framing slightly better. Also, it just looks a little better generally.

The Ethernet, however, has an upper hand with the creative vlog mode, which is definitely a cool option to have so. Overall, the camera system on the one plus not to 5g, is better than the one on the Poco f3 gt. It's not like the Poco f3 gt has bad cameras. In fact, in many situations you really cannot tell the difference between the two, but the knot 2 definitely has better performance in low light, thanks to the existence of is and, of course the not too also has better selfie camera performance in most scenarios, which definitely gives it an edge over the Poco f3 gt. Also, if you've come, this far, don't forget to hit that like button and maybe even comment below, so that the YouTube algorithm can push this video to more people looking for similar comparison, so that you know they can make a better buy decision.

You should help your friends out. The f3 gt comes with the latest version of mini, which is mini 12.5.2 in this version, there's little to no bloatware apart from Facebook and LinkedIn, which can be deleted. Plus, you can also delete some system apps, such as notes and calendar, but that system cleaner is still pretty annoying and cannot be uninstalled either. Not two is pretty clean in terms of bloatware as well, but, like I mentioned in the not to review the code based integration with color OS 11.3 causes some design inconsistencies with oxygen OS 11.3 if OnePlus is moving towards integrating colorways and future OnePlus phones, which, by the way I feel is going to happen, the company should just move entirely instead of doing a pad job. By the way.

If you haven't watched the OnePlus note 2 review, yet it should pop up in the button right now go ahead and do that. As for mini 12.5, it is feature rich, well optimized and the cleanest version of me UI. Yet there are no unwanted ads or notifications. Even I don't see a reason why people should hate me UI anymore. Having said that, OxygenOS 11.3 still has an edge when it comes to design and convenient optimizations, because even a simple job like changing the wallpaper, continues to be a chore on mini but yeah between these two operating systems. Oxygen OS just feels more polished, even in its weird state of flux.

Also, OnePlus has promised the not two will get two years of major android upgrades, which is android 12 and android 13. I don't know how long the Poco f3 gt will be supported. The flavor of the season when it comes to mobile chips is the new MediaTek demand city 1200 soc. This is the first time that OnePlus has used a MediaTek chip in its phone and the Poco f3 gt uses the same chip, but note that you get only a maximum of 8 GB of ram on the f3 gt compared to the not 2 which has a 12gb variant as well. Both the phones offer UFS 3.1 storage, but in my Andre bench test, the not 2's memory had a slightly faster performance. Overall, I did a detailed performance comparison of the f3 gt's original version, Redmi k40 gaming edition with the ICO 7 and the mi 11x, and the performance is very similar here as well.

It throttles in CPU performance, but is fairly stable in GPU performance compared to the OnePlus note 2, as you can tell from the CPU throttling test and the 3dmark wildlife stress test cores here and when you compare the gaming performance, the f3 gt feels a tad bit smoother thanks to the higher refresh rate, display and touch response rate. OnePlus performance leads that it used to boast off earlier is slowly vanishing, thanks to the fact that most other brands are actually catching up to OnePlus now or even sometimes performing better anyway. Coming to the gaming performance, considering the Poco f3 gt is gaming chops in BJI, both the phones can achieve HDR, graphics and ultra or 40 frames per second. If you want to achieve 60 fps, you have to switch to smooth graphics, but recently the x7 max managed to get 90 fps setting. So maybe there is hope for the f3 gt and the OnePlus not 2, and even the Renault 6 pro for that matter.

So I don't play BGM much, so you will have to wait for somebody to test it extensively for you guys. I'd suggest that you wait for gizmo rigged, the ninja tech or gizmo times video, where you can actually see great gameplay performance, and you know how the fps performs as well, but I did play 30 minutes of Call of Duty mobile on the two phones and the f3 gt was definitely better when it comes to touch response and overall feel that said, both the phones did end up touching about 4142 degrees, which is par for the course. So in Russia's battery test on the smart price, Hindi channel, which is up on the channel by the way, should go and check out in the button that pops up right now. He noticed that when he was playing asphalt, 9 for 1r uh, the Poco f3 gt definitely got warm around the metal frame uh because it dissipates the heat from that area. But it was cooler on the front and the back compared to the OnePlus, not to 5g.

In fact, overall, the not too 5g actually got uh. You know warmer compared to the Poco f3 gt. As for the triggers, they are too close to the edge. For me, I found the touch controls more responsive to be honest, but then again I presume it will take some time to recalibrate your twitch responses to work with the triggers, although we must appreciate how the triggers are tucked inside the body and pop out only when you push the slider, so the long story short is the Poco f3 gt is a better phone for gaming enthusiasts. As for the network performance, both the phones are pretty good at 4g network performance, with support for 4g carrier aggregation as well, but when it comes to 5g support the OnePlus note, 2 has an edge with support for seven bands compared to the support for two bands on the Poco f3 gt, the Poco f3 gt has a larger 5060 my battery compared to the 4500mah unit.

On the north too. This does help with a slightly better battery performance. You can expect around 630 minutes on the f3 gt, but the not 2 can only come close to 6 hours of screen on time. I also noticed that the f3 gt does last longer in general, as for the 67 watt charger that you get inside the box of the Poco phone, it takes 55 minutes to charge from zero to 100. Polo's charging optimization definitely reduces the rate of charge in the final 10 to 20 percent.

In comparison, the not 2 can charge from 0 to 100 in under 35 minutes. Charging speeds are definitely better on the not too for sure so, finally, which one of these two phones should you go for, and I think most of you guys already know. The answer to this question is that if you play a lot of games- and if you are- you know into GMI or Call of Duty mobile, then it just makes a lot of sense to pick up the Poco f3 gt over the OnePlus, not to 5g, and if you are a multimedia nerd, then the highest support and, of course the great stereo speaker performance definitely comes in handy and, let's not forget the fact that you also get HDR playback in Netflix on the Poco f3 gt compared to the OnePlus not, but the OnePlus nod has good design, great camera performance and, of course, generally clean software going for it. So it will appeal to a wider audience base, so define your use case figure out what you want to do with your phone before you make that purchase decision. So I hope you guys liked this comparison.
