The Poco X3 Pro bypasses any 5G problem by, well, shunning the connectivity entirely. That, it seems, is much the point of using the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 processor – there’s no X50/X55 series modem attached within the platform, thus no 5G.

  • You can unbrick any phone, install custom ROM or fix any software error with a stock firmware flash file.
  • POCO X3 NFC is a smartphone developed by POCO, a subsidiary of Xiaomi.
  • You also have the option to buy a 6 GB/ 64 GB variant with the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max.
  • It’s actually cheaper than the POCO X3 NFC was at launch, putting the POCO X3 Pro in an insanely competitive position.
  • So if you are looking for this feature, you will need to find something else.

But this is probably more a sign we spend too much time looking at phones than anything else. The POCO X3 Pro is competing in a crowded category with many high-quality options. While most alternatives will miss out on the sheer power of the POCO X3 Pro, they offer well-rounded packages that might be worth looking at. Aimed at a specific niche that is focused entirely on performance, the POCO X3 Pro is an appealing option.

Here I will mention only features that are not available in other mobile manufacturers’ Android 11 versions, and it is exclusive to Xiaomi mobiles. There are plenty of features added in the Android 11 based MIUI 12 version, compare with the Old MIUI version download the stock firmware. MIUI 12 comes with both exclusive Xiaomi and Android 11 general features.

And this trend continues with the Poco X3 Pro – this is the world’s first smartphone that runs on the latest SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 860. Sounds good, of course, but the trick is that it’s new only formally. In fact, this is a slightly updated version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ platform, which has been in existence for two years already. In mid-March of this year, the Xiaomi Poco sub-brand introduced a new mid-range smartphone – Poco X3 Pro. Today we will take a closer look at the new Poco X3 Pro and try to find out how the device differs from its predecessor and what it will be able to offer a potential buyer in the end. As for battery life, the X3 Pro comes with a 5160mAh battery with 33W fast charging — the same as the X3 NFC.

  • Xiaomi hasn’t missed out on any of the essentials here, and that makes the phone a great overall package.
  • I simply could not kill it in a day of my heaviest usage patterns.
  • Contrast levels are boosted to unnatural levels, and there is very significant sharpening and skin retouching.
  • In addition, the X3 Pro has a better camera setup with a 48-megapixel primary camera and a 20-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as better low-light performance.

There is a stabilization video mode but it limits videos to If you really care about taking good videos with your smartphone, the Poco X3 Pro is surely not the best phone in its segment. The polycarbonate back has a glossy racing stripe running right through the middle, flanked by a matte finish — basically the same design as the Poco X3, but I’m not complaining. There are three colorways to choose from – Graphite Black, Steel Blue, and Golden Bronze. I don’t mind the use of a polycarbonate back (it makes the phone lighter and doesn’t get as warm as glass) but the powerful stereo speakers make the back vibrate. This may be enjoyable while gaming but it could get annoying in other scenarios.
