Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro smartphone review: Lots of power and features at a bargain price
The UI is packed with features such as a Game Turbo for optimisations and shortcuts, a Video Toolbox overlay, and a Second Space for privacy. In this sense, the X3 Pro is very much the successor to the F1 that we’d all been waiting for. But just like the F1, this definitely isn’t the phone for everyone.
- Night mode shots are decent, but the Poco X3 reduces noise so aggressively that it can fuzz details.
- Recovery ROM for Global POCO X3 NFC is Stable release and needed to flashed under the Recovery mode of your POCO X3 NFC (surya) device.
- So if you are looking to live stream your gameplay on YouTube then you can look at once at Realme NEO 6 mobile which you can buy for Rupees.
- Then for the version with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, it is possible to find it for around $290 in some stores in the US.
- I still remember the feeling when I saw MIUI for the first time.
I’m actually more impressed Poco included support for 26W USB-PD that’s almost as fast and works with more plugs. The Poco X3 Pro may not follow the same naming scheme, but it’s the true successor to the F1 that we’ve all been waiting for. It’s all about power, and the Snapdragon 860 at its helm manages to trump phones that cost a lot more. There are a few compromises, but it shouldn’t deter the spec-obsessed to jump on the phone. Dimensions of this phone is 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4 mm and 215 grams of weight. The phone is build with Front glass (Gorilla Glass 6), plastic back.
However, this doesn’t mean that corners have been cut in other areas. The features of the Poco X3 Pro include an IPS display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a quad-camera setup with 48 MP, at least 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, as well as a 5,120 mAh battery.
The macro camera lacks autofocus and I found the Ultrawide camera to give good results of close-ups compared to the actual macro camera. The main camera on the Poco X3 Pro is 48MP and uses the Sony IMX 582 Quad-Bayer 1/2″ sensor with 0.8µm pixels, 25mm f/1.8 lens. It has PDAF which means in daylight it is easy to focus on subjects/objects.
