Even in good light shots look a little soft, with severely reduced detail and faded colour compared to the main lens. In low light this only gets worse, with white balance and exposure problems thrown into the mix. Even better, the refresh rate can dynamically switch between five speeds, from 30Hz up to 120Hz, meaning that when necessary the screen can run a little slower to save the battery. This isn’t sensationally fast like the OnePlus 9, but considering the lower price and the high capacity of the battery itself, it’s a winner. We left the 120Hz display mode switched on during testing and were routinely left with 40% or more charge remaining by the end of the day. However, it is outperformed by the Realme 8 Pro, Redmi Note 10 Pro and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. This is a big issue if you value camera performance over gaming power.
- It feels like a downgrade, even while carrying the “Pro” branding, as the last-gen Poco X2 had GG5 back.
- We’ve detected that you are using AdBlock Plus or some other adblocking software which is preventing the page from fully loading.
- Also, there isn’t a huge discernable difference between the 48MP versus the 12MP output.
- As for battery life, the X3 Pro comes with a 5160mAh battery with 33W fast charging — the same as the X3 NFC.
It feels like a downgrade, even while carrying the “Pro” branding, as the last-gen Poco X2 had GG5 back. Towards the front, we get Gorilla Glass 6, which is first in this segment (both X2 and X3 had GG5), the frame on the sides is made of plastic. Besides the regular connectivity items such as Bluetooth, Mi Share, Nearby Share stock ROM (firmware), Cast, and IR Blaster there’s also NFC available in select markets.
After you download and install the required tools and drivers, you can proceed to the main step, unlocking the bootloader of the device. The first step is to unlock the bootloader of the Poco X3 Pro device. Without unlocking the bootloader of the device, you won’t be able to install the custom ROM on your device. So, you have to unlock the bootloader and proceed to install the custom ROM on your device. You’ll quickly detect the difference if you’ve previously used some other custom ROMs.
The buttons are well placed, but it is impossible to reach the top of the screen without changing the grip. The block itself protrudes above the surface of the case, but not very much and is covered by a bundled cover, so there are no problems in this regard. A fairly wide strip with a pattern in the form of thin diagonal lines runs along the center of the lid.
It has high-end performance x its hardware configuration, in my case 8×256, it is not afraid of any game. The battery lasts all day unless you use the 120hrz all the time. Xiaomi pocox3 pro and other models of the brand unfortunately have functions that are disabled and do not work as they should. With the way that POCO has priced the POCO X3 Pro, matching it on point with the POCO X3 NFC’s pricing, it becomes impossible not to recommend the Pro device over its non-Pro sibling. As far as I can tell from having used both devices, there is not a single aspect of the X3 NFC that is better than the X3 Pro.
