OnePlus 9, Realme 8 and Poco F3 & X3 Pro | Fast Charge ep. 58

The OnePlus 9 series is finally here – so why aren’t Dom and Chris very impressed? They’re joined by the Realme 8 and Poco F3 & X3 Pro in a very busy week for phone launches – so busy we don’t even have time for theMoto G100orVivo X60!

First up, we’vereviewed the OnePlus 9and9 Pro, but we don’t love them.Chunky designsand a camera with a lot of room for improvement – so much for Hasselblad’s help – mean for the first time we’re hesitant to recommend the new OnePlus flagships.

Luckily things are better when it comes to theRealme 8. Toddy’sreviewed the 8 Proand come away seriously impressed – though can it quite match theRedmi Note 10 Proat the exact same price?

And finally, Poco has unveiled its own next pair of budget beasts: theX3 ProandF3, along with the new(ish) Snapdragon 860 chipset that powers the X3 Pro. The X3 was ourfavourite budget phone of 2020, so is the firm onto another pair of winners?
