For anyone, who hasn’t seen or used the Poco X3, here’s the breakdown of the Poco X3 Pro’s design. On the front, it is pretty much all screen, except for the bottom chin and the hole punch for the selfie camera. The older Snapdragon 8-series chipsets still have more power than the 7-series. On bright sunny days it seems to receive a small ‘turbo boost’ outdoors, but not nearly as much as flagship-level power. It’s amazing that the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro features a fingerprint scanner. To our best knowledge, it has not failed to recognize one time during testing.
Sure, you’ll get solid photos from the 48-megapixel main sensor in good lighting, but overall it’s a fairly middling camera system for a smartphone in this price segment. The 8-megapixel ultrawide is pretty “meh” in that any stills look incredibly soft compared to the main wide shooter. As far as video quality goes, main camera videos have good color, contrast, and dynamic range.
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 Standard mode targets sRGB and the Saturated mode targets DCI-P3.
- The phone is available in Frost Blue, Phantom Black, and Metal Bronze color options.
- This number can be found on the back of the phone or on its box.
- It is said that the battery can withstand nearly 33 hours of calls, 17 hours stock firmware ROM online, or play videos for half a day.
- It is however outperformed only by Redmi Note 10 Pro, Realme 8 Pro and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC.
Both phones also have good contrast levels, with deep blacks and bright whites, resulting in vivid and colorful visuals. A higher refresh rate means that the display can refresh images more quickly, resulting in a smoother and more responsive experience, especially when scrolling or gaming. On the back, the phone has a rectangular camera module on the top left corner housing three cameras and an LED flash.
