[Banggood] Xiaomi POCO M3 - $177 with coupon code: BGPM364

The link you posted is of X3 where as the title and spec link is of the newer M3

I thought the rear huge bold POCO text was just for advertising, but it is in fact actually on the phone?!! Jesus... that's one of the worst oversights I've ever seen on a product in my life.

If this is a sign-to-come of what now-independent brand POCO is putting forth.. sorry, I'll stick with Xiaomi.

Ty, fixed

Looks impressive. Too bad I don't need a new phone. I'm still using my Mi A2 lite but this might be a good phone for my wife.

Same price as BF/CM phone release weekend on Ali. Which I bought and super excited to get! This is a stellar entry-mid level phone. Amazing specs for <$200

Bought the 128GB model on BF for $180ish shipped. Going to replace my OnePlus 5. Excited for the 6000mah battery.

Looks like a good spec phone. This would be in comparison to Xiomi and the other Chinese brand phones? This ships from HK? No duties? But those who ordered received with tracking?

Good phone. Got to comment that it only record video at 1080p. The selfie camera is probably weak. Main camera sensor only 1/2 inch when 1/1.72 inch is becoming the norm. It is so cheap however these might not matter to you.

I use a Xiami mi9t. Love it. Despite what apple and samsung users will say about the "specs", in terms of actual performance, when I bought my phone new, it outperformed my girlfriend's 1.5 year older Apple by a huge margin. It is hard to keep up with all of these Xiaomi models though.

I was about to retire my Mi 8 - motherboard sim card slot comes loose every now and then from multiple falls, although the phone looks like it did from day 1.

After seeing the large POCO text, I was really turned off and reconsidering buying this phone. I believe this is just on the phone case? Can you confirm? Otherwise, back to the trusty Mi 8!

Edit: Sorry I was thinking of the POCO X3 NFC: . Personally, this looks better than the one from OP's link.

I bought one for my wife and she loves it. But how the hell do you update the software on these things?

Settings -> About phone -> System update

or unless you want

Settings -> System apps updater

Is this phone compatible with Freedom mobile and Public mobile?
Thanks

Banggood ships much faster than AliExpress

But preorder seems to be a different story..

Anyone buying phones from them been hit with tax duties?

The photos taken with this phone must be really good ... it has the Super Triple Camera (TM).

Its compatible but you are only getting either 3 of 5 or 2 of 4 LTE bands. I would guess wifi calling might not work also
