There is a big difference when switching over to 120Hz, but there is noticeable ghosting at times. Xiaomi offers plenty of customizability for the panel, and you can change the color balance, schedule dark mode, and use the text-focused reading mode. The POCO X3 stood out last year because it introduced an original design and wasn’t a rebranded Redmi phone. Xiaomi is reusing the design here, and the POCO X3 Pro doesn’t differ from the standard version on the design front.

• The high refresh rate is good, and HDR kicks in when playing videos on YouTube.
• Below, we have described the step-by-step guide to unlocking the bootloader of the device.
• It is a slightly tweaked version of the Snapdragon 855 from a few years ago, but that’s still pretty powerful by today’s standards.
• Both the primary and ultra-wide sensors have been bumped down to 48MP and 8MP respectively, from the 64MP and 13MP sensors on the regular X3.
• In the photographic section, there are several differences to take into account.

The ultra-wide module shoots just fine, for 8 megapixels. The detail is not particularly prominent, the colors are okay, although the white balance differs from the main module.

Snapdragon, MediaTek and other manufacturers have designed a number of chipsets. It is a factor that greatly affects your user experience with its ISP, Modem and other features. You may witness a mobile phone being introduced every day. Considering that many devices are introduced in a year, we think that it becomes difficult for people to decide which device to buy. Sometimes, people think about the differences between the new series and the previous series, and whether it is necessary to switch to a higher model. However, new generation devices generally do not have significant firmware files differences compared to previous generation devices.

We didn’t face any issues with calling or connectivity either. The phone supports dual 4G VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, and carrier aggregation. 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. If there is one fault we can list, it would be its availability, especially in markets where consumers still have to settle for the bigger and more expensive brands. It’s a very impressive all-round phone, though competition is very stiff at this price point. One click on the zoomed-in image opens the original in a new window.

Over the years, I have come across phones with a cheap, plasticky feel, excess weight or an unwieldy outline. Many would agree that the presence of one of these issues isn’t a deal-breaker. Unfortunately for Poco fans, the X3 Pro is an amalgamation of all these issues. I am a gadget enthusiast who has been fascinated with the technology revolution that has happened in the last decade especially since the dawn of the smartphone era.
