Poco is an extreme budget phone. Not worth more than $150. Get a redmi note 9. They have poco emblazoned on phone which screams I'm cheap!!!!

Yes. That is correct. There is a cutout for you to put an sim card OR an SD card in that spot. AND there's the slot at the bottom of the tray that has another cutout for another sim card.leadersuper699 wrote: ↑ SD slot only fit 1 sim
You can put 2 sim cards in (1 in the top slot AND 1 in the bottom slot), or 1 sim in the bottom slot and 1 sd in the top cutout. I cannot use the 2nd sim slot because it wasn't cut properly and the cutout is smaller than my nano sim. Will try using the tray from my Redmi Note 5 for the time being. Hopefully that works.
Cheers!

Yup, that would be an option for people looking for a deal
But we should not compare secondhand phones with new ones

Did Banggood remove all the Xiaomi smartphones off their site? I can't find the POCO X3 or any other Xiaomi smartphone

I purchased this phone from Banggood on December 15th and received it January 6th. The phone works fine, however, when I set up my Mi Account and went to verify/register it I ran into a problem. When I went to register online there were 2 fields/tabs to fill in, 1- Verify your phone purchase - requires the imei # and 2- Xiaomi Product Authorization - which requires a 20-digit security code. The number is supposed to be found on the phone packaging (likely the outside of the box) under a "code sticker" that you pull off to reveal the code. The how to wording is as follows: "How do I obtain security code? Locate the authentication label and scratch off its coating to obtain the 20-digit security code". Then there's an image of the "code sticker" showing a sample code revealed.
The issue for me is that I cannot locate the sticker or the code anywhere on the packaging, or on the sticker that was on the phone. I contacted Xiaomi customer support and they wrote to me the following "As long as it is genuine, security code will be found on the package or the product". This makes me worry that the phone isn't genuine.
Can folks that have received this phone either PM me, or comment back as to whether or not they found a security code on their packaging. This would be much appreciated.
Of note, the imei was accepted during verification. I was able to start the unlock process as well, which makes me think that either the security code isn't needed.
Thanks, help is appreciated. I will update as I work on this issue.
PS, Xiaomi has directed me back to Banggood for resolution.

Would like to know as well, ******** has them with shipping to Canada but OOS. Some stores on Ali sell the M3 not the X3, weird. I guess it will be impossible to find them sub 300$ like it was on Banggood.
