It’s for users to decide if that’s the price they are willing to pay for the niceties on file firmware stok rom board. We managed to take decent pictures in low light and dark situations. Once again, the performance is comparable to Realme 7 Pro and Galaxy M31. It won’t be fair to blame Poco for the omission because this is an industry-wide change that affects almost all upcoming phones. The software on the phone has a few peeve points, though. Google is now pushing OEMs to include the stock Google dialer and messaging app on its phones and the Google Dialer doesn’t have auto call recording.
We offer a unique solution to the “stay up-to-date” problem we mentioned at the beginning of topic. If you are wondering if your device will get MIUI 13 or Android 12 or 13, you can check it from our app. With the “Android 12 – 13 Eligibility Check” and “MIUI 13 Eligibility Check” menus, you can check which update your selected device will receive or not. It works best with MIUI devices (smartphones, tablets, Xiaomi, Pocophone, Redmi). Some functionalities might be compatible with other Xiaomi devices (Android one ones for example, or Blackshark). Some might work even with other brand devices, but this tool is not designed to do that, so please use it with Xiaomi devices.
That said, the global version I’m using does have the feature, so this particular limitation is only for the Indian model. I have the Indian version of the POCO X3 — which includes a 6000mAh battery — and next to it the X3 Pro feels lighter and easier to use. The latter weighs 10g less, and that makes a significant difference in day-to-day use.
Since POCO F1 was recognized as the most affordable power monster of the time, POCO X3 Pro has checked most of the boxes to continue the legacy of the F1. Now more than two years have elapsed and after numerous requests about the successor of F1, POCO has launched POCO X3 PRO which they are calling the successor to F1. The bundled charger can juice up the phone from zero to around 50 percent in half an hour, which is quite good. There’s no doubt the Poco X3 Pro blows the competition out of water when it comes to sheer power. On the other hand, with so much power at its disposal, the company doesn’t seem to have spent time refining the experience.
- In my testing, the Poco X3 Pro offered outstanding battery life.
- On the other hand, enabling the AI feature turns the X3 Pro into a point-and-shoot camera.
- In question, the piece that lives inside is the Mediatek Helium G99a 6-nanometer, eight-core mobile platform running at a maximum clock speed of 2.2 GHz.
- Poco X4 Pro has a more powerful processor with Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) compared to Poco X3 Pro’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 (7 nm).
But the Poco X3 Pro offers more than just stellar performance. 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.
