Benchmark scores and gaming performance show a significant boost over Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 700-series chipsets. Call of duty Mobile defaulted to Very High graphics and High frame rate. We dialed graphics down to ‘High’ for smoother performance. In ninth place is the slim case by FZZ for the Xiaomi Poco X3. The case is made of high-quality TPU silicone which is slim and flexible and provides a comfortable grip in the hand. It provides easy access to all the buttons, speakers, volume button and charging port. Ideal if you’re looking for a thin cover that does the job. The camera triggers HDR only when it detected Sun in the image frame. So, we had to toggle HDR manually. The 5160mAh battery on the Poco X3 Pro can comfortably last for more than a day with moderate to heavy usage and with the display set to 120Hz. We are consistently getting around 6 hours of screen-on-time.

videos are supported up to 30fps. The videos we shot had great contrast and showed intelligent metering. Colors are close to accurate and dynamic range is pretty wide. The portrait camera is good with edge detection, but nothing extraordinary. The selfie camera does a great job of balancing exposure and skin tones. Colors and contrast are also impressive. The stereo speakers on the phone can get pretty loud. The audio quality is above average and Poco has laid some emphasis on low frequencies. We didn’t face any issues with wireless audio streaming in our time with the phone. The Poco X3 Pro supports LDAC, SBC, AAC, aptX, and aptxHD Bluetooth codecs. Verdict: Should you buy Poco X3 Pro?The Snapdragon 860 is paired with 128GB or 256GB of storage and 6GB or 8GB of RAM. Our review Poco X3 Pro has 6GB of RAM, so your experience should be at least as good as ours.

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. We haven’t minded too much, choosing for once to live like a rebel and not use a silicone case. But with a case attached, the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro may be a struggle for some hands. When playing a game or watching movies you might notice the speaker above the screen sounds less powerful than the one on the bottom, but it is still far better than a mono speaker. However, the Poco X3 Pro’s main camera performs noticeably worse than some of the alternatives, including Xiaomi's own Poco X3 NFC and Redmi Note 10 Pro.In dark scenes, the night mode manages to efficiently fix metering and embellish images. The night mode also works for the wide-angle camera. Take a look at the signage in the images below: 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. The visibility under direct sunlight wasn’t a problem. There are three color profiles to choose from. The Standard mode targets sRGB and the Saturated mode targets DCI-P3. The native Auto profile adjusts colors based on ambient lighting. If you ask us, the Standard (sRGB) mode works best. It felt a tad too warm but we could easily fix it by choosing a cooler white point using the color temperature wheel. Texture details those family members would draw with surprising clarity are obfuscated into mush through the X3 Pro’s eyes. Mid-tone contrast is significantly worse, and it seems to make greater use of detail-eradicating noise reduction.

The wide-angle camera does a fine job in proper daylight, but you need to balance your expectations. As you’d hope, then, Android runs perfectly on the Poco X3 Pro too. However, the truly notable performance improvement over less powerful phones like the Poco X3 NFC is in high-end games such as Fortnite and ARK: Survival Evolved. There are a few other minor changes. For instance, the Poco branding is now more subtle and the side edges have a matte finish that makes them more resistant to smudges. On the downside, you’d be missing AMOLED contrasts while watching multimedia content. Yes, you can easily get a decent AMOLED screen for under 20K, and that’s the trade-off you make for the excellent performance hardware. Besides, I think most users who aren’t as fastidious about their display requirements shouldn’t mind the panel on the Poco X3 pro.

In well-lit indoor situations, the Poco X3 Pro holds its ground rather well. In lowlight, however, gaps begin to show up. Let’s be frank, if you are considering buying Poco X3 Pro it’s probably for the performance. 7nm process-based Snapdragon 860 is almost the same as Snapdragon 855+ from 2019, but for an under 20K price it is a superb deal and should leave the competition play catchup for a significant time. Fifth is the slim case for the Xiaomi Poco X3. The case is processed to ensure a delicate and soft touch with a non-slip design. With a unique camera-slide cover which protects the camera lens from scratching and sharp objects by lifting the camera 0.2mm above the surface. With tactile buttons for easy and solid use. The interface isn’t our personal favorite, but we could still get used to it with time. This is of course a subjective opinion and your preferences and choices may understandably differ. In fact, MIUI enjoys a huge fan following in India. On paper it has typical hardware for this class. There's a 48MP primary camera, a basic 8MP ultra-wide,and two terrible 2MP macro and depth cameras. We’re fine with the numbers. We're used to ‘filler' cams in affordable phones.

How good is the Poco X3 Pro as an overall phone? Is it a better buy as compared to the Realme 8 Pro or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Max? We have been putting the phone through the wringer and will try and answer all related questions in our Poco X3 Pro review, just to help you decide if it’s worthy of being your next phone.
