Watching this on my poco x3 pro! Freaking beast, i feel like I have flagship performance when playing, switching apps and battery life, the camera improves a little by slapping a gcam port and boom, the phone is a true bang for your buck

I just love his voice tone. It's so direct and informative hearing it. Anyways, Thank you for the detailed review

[rakesh]

That 4k clip was so stable with eis, I might get this one, it launched at 19k in India today

[FreddyGunawan]

We love detailed review and concise. No messing around👍

[aseryo]

i was so pissed, I bought my girlfriend the poco x3 nfc for her birthday. then after a few days the poco x3 pro released 🥺😭

[sourabh_mishra]

"definition of best"
Snapdragon 860, 120 hz screen, 5160 mAh w/33w *@ ₹19k*
Almost every 5g device except Moto G 5g is gimmick, so it's wise to grab a great specd 4g device & use it for next 3 years until 5g becomes a thing.

1:36, The X3 NFC was the best performance I can get in my country at its price. And now the Pro releases at the same price of the non pro with an even lower early bird price? Damn, competition must be crying.

[rey]

Xiaomi be like. Imma confuse you on what phone u should buy 🥴

[waczze]

I bought it immediately during an official flash sale in Indonesia. Fell in love with that x3 Pro. The chipset upgrade on x3 pro pushed my doubts that occurred for the x3.

[davidsmith]

That's a beast of a phone
That camera is spot in as well

I've been using it for 2 years now, never had a situation where I ran out of battery in a crucial moment or anything like that. Still have no issues playing games on it. And I am not a big picture man but I do like the quality. It's strange to me how this phone cost me 225€ but now phones that have better cameras but way worse processors cost 350€ and more, making it that unless you want 5G and Professional photography level pictures it's not really worth upgrading.

[farishanafiah]

This phone has pretty much everything that I wanted with the only exception for the lack of video output support. For $300, it really is hard to find any brand new smartphones with flagship-grade chipset. But since MIUI has never been my favourite UI, especially for POCO phones because of the baked-in ads, I will definitely install a custom ROM in it. It may doesn't have a flagship-grade camera hardware, but at least this can be a great affordable mobile gaming and console emulation device.

Just bought one for my wife, it was more then 2x cheaper then my Xiaomi MI 10t wich I bought a couple of months ago, it has almost the same specs as mine, the front side looks almost identical, just the camera punch is in another place. The only difference is the camera(on paper) and the fact that the mi 10t has 5g but the poco has sim cart support and audio jack wich the mi10t doesn't.

You can't really compare gaming performance without genshin impact 😂😂

[gamesturbator]

Thanks for showing me how to correctly pronounce Xiaomi! :) Wondering if I should go for the more expensive Note 10 Pro Max (a supposed to be much better than the regular pro)? Commenters claim the proximity sensor is a big fail. Not sure I need that feature.

[Some-guy-on-the-internet]

Damn it. I bought an X3 last year. It serves me just fine but I might upgrade to the Pro since it'll probably last me much longer than the standard model.

EDIT: I finally got one. I'm running LineageOS 19.1 with NGK custom kernel and it runs like a dream with ridiculous battery life. No regrets.

[jgonz]

I'm using poco x3 nfc and I'm not bittersweet about it since the sound, camera and chipset are all good. Even though x3 pro has better chipset (Imma gamer myself), it's fine coz after a month or two, another phone will eclipsed the newest ones now. Just stick to what u have and enjoy using them.

[shawnlim]

Used it for 1 month now . Great phone hopefully it will last for next 2 years . Hopefully more better update coming soon

[nidzabrt]

Id say that pro version is definitely worth buying compared to nfc version, especially if you buy 8GB version with 256 Gigs storage.Ill buy this phone once i have money for it, i am half the way to it.

[katrinabartolay]

Thank you for the review! Love this phone, gonna buy it soon. Really good deal, low price and got everything i want. Not that crazy for cameras, rather im looking for a good chipset with the basic stuff like sim slot and headphone jack so this one's good. Thanks for this xiaomi!
