We discuss the structural and electronic features of ABX$_3$ halides with perovskitic structure. In particular we analyze the instabilities that drive CsPbF$_3$ to a rhombohedral phase and study the effect of halogen substitutions. The properties of CsPbF$_3$ are considered from the point of view of ferroelectricity and compared with prototypical oxides.
