The Poco F3 smartphone goes below €250 on Xiaomi’s official site, a drop of around 14% on the price usually seen. It is currently one of our best value for money for small budgets.
Poco returns to the mid-range with its recent F3, a smartphone that relies heavily on power and autonomy.
Poco F3
Even if it poses as a good alternative to its two competitors, in particular thanks to a much better screen, autonomy and performance, it is still difficult to recommend the Poco F3 as the quality of its camera is below average. Photographers will turn without hesitation to the Pixel 4a, whose qualities in this area are well established, or to a slightly more complete Galaxy A52 4G.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11
After a lackluster Note 10 series, Xiaomi is recovering with this Redmi Note 11. The entry-level smartphone from the Chinese firm is a good proposition for those who need a terminal that can do everything, without necessarily excelling. Without performing a miracle, this model corrects a passable photo component in its predecessor and offers a good Oled panel. Finally, its autonomy is very correct in 60 Hz or 90 Hz.
