However, it does at least have basic IP53 water resistance, giving it a fighting chance against splashes. Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro: display The Poco X3 Pro has a 5160mAh battery, just like the Poco X3 NFC. Its stamina is similarly impressive, even with a much punchier processor. The cuts that Xiaomi made to accommodate a relatively high-end processor at a low price are felt most keenly in the Poco X3 Pro's camera.However, the Poco X3 Pro’s main camera performs noticeably worse than some of the alternatives, including Xiaomi's own Poco X3 NFC and Redmi Note 10 Pro. It’s a mid-range chipset with power similar to the Snapdragon 855 Plus, used in phones like the Asus ROG Phone 2 and OnePlus 7T. The Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC is a mostly slightly worse alternative to the Poco X3 Pro, but it actually has better cameras, so if photography is a priority then it's worth considering. The selfie camera is pretty decent, though. It uses a 20MP sensor, just like the more camera-focused X3 NFC. The Poco X3 NFC is arguably a better-balanced phone than the X3 Pro, and as such it ranks among the best cheap phones. Camera quality counts for a lot, but this is yet another demonstration of the sheer value you get with a Poco-series Android. Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro: price and availability

Xiaomi UK

The Realme 8 Pro costs slightly more than the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro but it has better cameras, though it's another phone with no 5G, so it has some similar weaknesses. When playing a game or watching movies you might notice the speaker above the screen sounds less powerful than the one on the bottom, but it is still far better than a mono speaker. However, it is outperformed by the Realme 8 Pro, Redmi Note 10 Pro and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. This is a big issue if you value camera performance over gaming power.The Poco X3 Pro lost ground in the camera section of this review, but it makes up a good deal of it with its chipset. That’s the Snapdragon 860, a processor that should interest many of you. Yes, they are old, 2019 phones. But the older 8-series Snapdragon chipsets are still more powerful than today’s 7-series ones. As you’d hope, then, Android runs perfectly on the Poco X3 Pro too. However, the truly notable performance improvement over less powerful phones like the Poco X3 NFC is in high-end games such as Fortnite and ARK: Survival Evolved. The main camera performance is the sort of thing we used to see quite commonly in phones with Samsung sensors, a few years earlier. But the Poco X3 Pro has a Sony IMX582 sensor.

Thankfully, they are largely found in the camera. As we'll get into more deeper in our Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro review, its 120Hz screen is great, battery life is excellent and, as you’d hope, there are no basic performance problems in Android. The processor comparison is comparing Snapdragon™ 860 with the processor of POCO X3 NFC (Snapdragon™ 732G).

Charging speed is good enough too. The Poco X3 Pro comes with a 33W charger that takes the phone from flat to 59% in 30 minutes. Or to 100% in 59 minutes. The Motorola One 5G - also known as the Moto G 5G Plus - is similarly affordable and includes 5G - which you don't get here. The fingerprint scanner and cameras aren't the best though.

Texture details those family members would draw with surprising clarity are obfuscated into mush through the X3 Pro’s eyes. Mid-tone contrast is significantly worse, and it seems to make greater use of detail-eradicating noise reduction. IP53 rating indicates the device is protected from small splashes and typical dirt and dust, but not from full immersion or severe dust, sand, or other particles. The product warranty does not cover damage resulting from dust or immersion. The one other quirk is unlikely to bother too many people. Xiaomi puts two color intensity modes in the Poco X3 Pro, Standard and Saturated. Both are ‘hotter’ than the traditional sRGB color standard, so there’s no true relaxed color mode here. But this is probably more a sign we spend too much time looking at phones than anything else.The Poco X3 Pro's screen looks sharp, color is bold, and the fairly large size instantly gives you the sense it’s made for games, video, and other stuff the enthusiast Poco crowd would enjoy. Poco phones seem to be popular among people who like to get a lot of tech for their cash. The device has been tested in a controlled laboratory conditions which meets requirements of Classification IP53 as described by the International Standard IEC 60529.
