Still using my Poco X3 since 2020. Not a single issue since then. This is the toyota corolla of mobile phones 😂

Poco X3 Pro was the last X series phone with flagship performance and cheap price

[nxadventures]

I got the X5 Pro and it is a huge upgrade compared to X3 NFC. Display, sound, everything.

The Poco X3 Pro is better than the Poco X4 Pro in terms of the chipset. And now the Poco X5 Pro is better than the Poco X4 Pro, yes both phones have oled display but the chipset is now SD 778G.

Agreed on X3 Pro being an absolute bargain of a phone, still using it. Why there's no word on waterproofing or video stabilization? X3 had superb steadiness and is truly water-resistant although it was never advertised as such.

This is the real upgrade from Xiaomi redmi note 10 pro

Will's Shirt talks about him sounding like a Robot. I used to agree, but now he doesn't sound as robotic as he used to. His voice conveys different emotions. Even his vocal fry isn't as overly evident as it used to be. Good Job, Mr Robot turned Human, Will.

I have a poco x3 pro, came from a galaxy note 4 before that.
The 2 most importat Features why i will stick with the poco series for as long as they keep the features are the 3, 5 mm headphone jack and the infrared blaster.

Hello from Greece, very good presentation once again, last year I bought for 226 euros the Realme GT Master Edition with SD 778 processor, this year Realme is asking 350 euros for the 10 Pro plus and Xiaomi 300 euros for the POCO X5 Pro, unfortunately the purchase of a new mobile phone is postponed for the following year

I have the X3 Pro and I absolutely love it.

The X4 Pro was a big disappointment however the X5 Pro looks good both inside and outside, still think the X3 Pro is the king but if I wanted a better screen, definitely would take the X5 Pro.

[hasansugibit]

My favorite chipset Snapdragon 778G, 865 /870, 8 gen 2, dimensity 8100 ultra

Why don't you guys test storage speed, consider adding that benchmark to your review.

[Grenburr]

I just got my Poco x5 pro right now and i didn't know it was just released damn

[kumarsajal]

Why don't phone brands bring LED notification light back when always on display cannot be on forever?

[englandcalling]

Is it known whether the features missing from the global version of MIUI 14, are to be exclusive to Chinese ROMs, or is there to be a later MIUI 14.5 or similar? So far, it's basically only an Android 13 backend update.

[JustMeELC]

I LOVE Poco X3!
Please bring them back!

[theiammike]

My 2-yr-old Poco X3 is still kicking ass.

[JS-evxc]

Why must Poco remove mSD slot? The beauty of mSD is that it can be reused from phone to phone.

6:26 tbh the details level are blowing me away for the selfie camera, great review!

[cutrepon]

Here I am with my poco f1 after 5 years.
