Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro smartphone review: Lots of power and features at a bargain price

In actual circumstances, the data will differ slightly, depending on the test software version, specific testing environment, and specific version. O-Sync Display Hyper Response Engine reduces the response time from 30 to 40 milliseconds down to 5 to 10 milliseconds. And it currently supports games including League of Legends Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile, etc. Compared with Find X2 Pro, in a laboratory environment, the success rate of one-time focus in a low-light environment (5lux) is increased by 7.4%. The data of performance improvement on the Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 888 mobile platform is obtained from Qualcomm website.

  • The device also support aptX which is a great thing if you have Bluetooth headphones.
  • The -j 4 part implies be four simultaneous threads/connections.
  • On the negative side, the SNR was below average — background was overly present and unnatural-sounding because it was so midrange-focused.

The looks of the Poco X3 Pro may not be for everyone, but it sure does feel like a durable phone, that can withstand a beating due to its plastic build. This is probably the reason Xiaomi didn’t change the design, and probably to save costs too. Besides that, the power and volume buttons are on the right side and they feel good and durable to press on.

  • It feels like a downgrade, even while carrying the “Pro” branding, as the last-gen Poco X2 had GG5 back.
  • You can solve this issue to a certain extent by enabling Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS).
  • We’ve seen bold colours, unique camera module shapes, and eye-catching patterns on some recently launched Poco phones.

If you are using this phone or have experience here with this phone, select this option. Not everyone will like how large and heavy the Poco X3 Pro is. It weighs 213g and is 9.4mm thick, which are both above average for this segment. The body is rated IP53 and Poco refers to this as “splash-proof”, and it’s always welcome. MIUI is aggressive about closing apps, and even with 8GB of RAM, apps don’t sit in the background for very long.

poco x3 and poco x3 pro difference

The POCO X3 stood out last year because it introduced an original design and wasn’t a rebranded Redmi phone. Xiaomi is reusing the design here, and the POCO X3 Pro doesn’t differ from the standard version on the design front. You still get a large phone with a massive battery, and the POCO branding at the back is just as prominent. With dimensions of 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4mm and a weight of 215g, the X3 Pro is one of the largest and heaviest phones in this category. POCO is also set to kick off sales of the X3 Pro in the UK and other European markets in the coming weeks.
