Poco F3 Launched in Nepal with Flagship Features
The Poco F3, essentially a successor to Poco F2, was finally launched in Nepal with a starting price of Rs 46,999.

Besides the fact that Poco F3 is a rebranded model, it does come with flagship level features including Snapdragon 870 5G chipset and AMOLED screen to name a few–and that at a considerable price.
Overview
Xiaomi is taking the premium mid-range smartphone customers very seriously. Most essentially, after the Huawei ban, the market of premium mid-range has been an open field which was ruled by the Huawei Nova and P series. The clear field is a sheer opportunity to gain success which Xiaomi is recently trying to acquire by pushing new models aggressively in the market. The strategy, we should say, is working for the brand as the latest entry of Poco F3 seems convincing. Now, let’s get the complete details of the Poco F3.
Design and Display
The Poco F3 has an astonishing design paired with a lightweight and slimmer experience. The display of the device comes as a 6.7-inch FHD+ E4 AMOLED panel which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Interestingly enough, the back of the device is also protected by the same gorilla glass but the sides of the phone come in a plastic material. The screen of the phone has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, 360 Hz touch sampling rate, and it can reach the peak brightness level of 1300 nitz. Furthermore, the front of the phone has a tiny punch-hole cutout for selfies and the display has 100% DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10+ support. The resolution of the phone is 1080 x 2400 pixels and it has an aspect ratio of 20:9 ratio.

The color setting of the device gives a reflective experience depending upon how you position it. The dimension of the phone measures 163.7 x 76.4 x 7.8 mm (height x width x thickness) and weights 196 g. The slimness as light weight makes it very comfortable to hold. The side-mounted finger sensor is reachable and response is quick while the volume rockers are just above the power key button. The F3 is available in Deep Ocean Blue, Arctic White, and Night Black color options.

The device comes with a flagship level Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset paired with either 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB or 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
