POCO X3 Pro launches with Snapdragon 860, quad camera setup
Redefining the midrange segment?
Alongside the POCO F3, POCO also launched the POCO X3 Pro today at its international event. The F-series is focused on performance and acts as an affordable flagship. On the other hand, the X-series is a balanced offering that’s ultra-light on the pocket.
The POCO X3 Pro has inherited a distinctive squircle camera setup that’ll instantly remind you of the POCO X3. But this one looks far more sophisticated and due to five lens and flash cavities. The rear has a huge POCO logo meant to stand out, just like realme’s branding.
On the front is a 6.7-inch LCD with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 6 protection, and HDR 10. It’s available in Phantom Black, Frost Blue, and Metal Bronze color options.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 860 processor with Adreno 640 GPU, up to 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It’s also backed by POCO’s LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus that claims to offer consistently high-performance for an extended period of time.
The back has a quad-camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro sensor, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front is a 20-megapixel camera for selfies.
The POCO X3 Pro is a midrange offering, and it skips 5G connectivity in favor of dual 4G standby. While many may find this shortcoming, the phone is also designed for markets like India, where there is no commercial 5G connectivity, and the pricing war is cut-throat.
Powering it is a 5160mAh battery with 33W fast charging, and the charging brick is included with the phone. Thankfully, POCO has retained the 3.5mm headphone jack, and it runs on MIUI 12 out-of-the-box.
