I had to reconfigure the proximity sensor stock Android firmware and the Themes app prevented the phone from ringing on an incoming call. The update to Miui 14 is lengthy, hopefully all users will see it soon. The POCO X3 Pro is a step up above the POCO X3 NFC that launched in the latter half of 2020, but it’s still more or less the same device with some slightly changed internals. Both devices look the same, and nobody could really blame you for mixing the two up.
I took a few pictures on this phone from both of the primary sensors to get a taste of what the POCO X3 Pro’s camera is like, and you can check out the album below. Given that the Snapdragon 860 is basically a more powerful 855+, then it stands to reason that this is still a pretty powerful chip. According to an Antutu benchmark, it scores just a little bit higher than the OnePlus 7 Pro, a fantastic device in its own right. It’s not going to go toe-to-toe against the likes of the Xiaomi Mi 11, but it will pack a punch that a modern-day mid-range smartphone still can’t quite achieve.

- However, things go wrong sometimes, and that was the first thought that came to mind when I unboxed the Poco X3 Pro.
- That, it seems, is much the point of using the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 processor – there’s no X50/X55 series modem attached within the platform, thus no 5G.
- At times 7 Pro manages better details in shadows and in the backdrop and at times the Poco X3 retains better texture.
- It’s possible to play the game for hours without worrying about whether it will ruin your ability to get to sleep.
While the Snapdragon 732G is a very efficient processor in its own right, it is going up against a high-end processor, the Snapdragon 860. The Redmi Note 10 Pro Max handles casual gaming very well and will even be able to offer you a reasonably high-end gaming experience. This means in no way lags would dominate the high-end gaming experience on the Note 10 Pro Max but the phone will feel as if it can be pushed too far. And this feeling will get amplified when you will compare it with the Poco X3 Pro. The phone handles high-end games with an ease which is unparalleled to anything on the Redmi Note 10 Pro or indeed anything in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment. This is a pretty easy category simply because the two phones come with different processors.
Currently, the phone is running on an Android 11 operating system along with MIUI12.5 skin. Its 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution display will never create any trouble while watching Full HD+ videos and playing Heavy games like PUBG and COD. On the other hand, if you buy the Tempered glass and back panel along with the POCO X3 pro device, you can save more than $30+2$25 also. This phone brought a great performance at a very low budget, as we compare another smartphone with the same performance. I’m not a professional gammer but I play free fire daily, now day’s I need a phone. Please suggest me a phone, which phone should I buy under INR.20,000. The high-end games we tried are playable and day-to-day usage was smooth.
And the side-mounted fingerprint scanner – which doubles-up as the power button – is well placed for rapid login. Or, by the wonders of face unlock, you can feed the X3 Pro your face and get a speedy unlock that way too. Flip the phone around and the rear design has a kind-of retro look about it. Phone design moves on so rapidly year on year that, for whatever reason, the Poco X3 Pro just looks a bit ‘last year’. Maybe it’s the raised camera unit, housed within a black circle, that’s behind the times.
