According to an Antutu benchmark, it scores just a little bit higher than the OnePlus 7 Pro, a fantastic device in its own right. It’s not going to go toe-to-toe against the likes of the Xiaomi Mi 11, but it will pack a punch that a modern-day mid-range smartphone still can’t quite achieve.

Post the Android 9 Pie update, third-party apps are utterly useless in this regard. The fingerprint reader is on the side and it’s as snappy and reliable as we’d want it to be.
- You can easily play most common games like PUBG, Asphalt, and COD on max graphics.
- Most importantly, the Poco X3 Pro comes equipped with UFS 3.1 storage, whereas the Poco X4 Pro only gets UFS 2.2.
- Pare the X3 Pro’s camera spec down and it’s got a perfectly fine main lens, then, but that’s about as far as things go.
- He is a Computer Science Graduate and Certified Android Developer, Making His Career towards this Technology.
- Poco phones come with exactly what I look for in a phone.
You’d want an OLED if you spent a lot more, and its fast-responding pixels would make better use of the 120Hz refresh rate. Poco phones seem to be popular among people who like to get a lot of tech for their cash. As we’ll get into more deeper in our Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro review, its 120Hz screen is great, battery life is excellent and, as you’d hope, there are no basic performance problems in Android. Over on the front-facing camera, the 20MP sensor is capable enough, but the processing is a major letdown. Contrast levels are boosted to unnatural levels, and there is very significant sharpening and skin retouching. Elsewhere, the macro camera is functional but its 2MP resolution won’t let you do much with the images.
- According to the changelog, the update brings October 2022 security patch and increased system security.
- Billed as the true successor to the iconic Poco F1, the new Poco X3 Pro has some big shoes to fill.
- The IPS LCD screen supports an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate (240Hz touch sampling rate) and the standard 60Hz.
- There’s no optical image stabilisation (OIS), so you’ll get a touch of hand-shake, but colours really pop, and a 48Mp sensor is still enough to pack in tons of detail.
- It will compete with the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (Review), Realme X7 5G (Review), Moto G60 (Review), and several other popular recent models.
These are the primary reasons why you should get the stock firmware Poco X3 Pro. I didn’t emphasize camera and gaming because you can already get an idea regarding these aspects of the phone on Reddit and YouTube. Do let me know if you want me to review the phone after a while or you’re OK with the reviews you have already read or watched. Follow our Facebook page to find out sample shots that I would be posting soon. Recently my Realme 5 Pro was hard bricked, which I had been using for around two years.
