POCO took the wraps off the newest member of its family dubbed POCO X3 NFC. The phone is the company’s latest smartphone in the mid-range series and it addresses the biggest complaint of its predecessor- it is no longer a rebadged Redmi model.
This year’s POCO devices were all rebranded Redmi smartphones, but the POCO X3 NFC looks like a brand new model with its resigned camera housing and bold new logo at the back. We have got the POCO X3 NFC in real skin and here are hands-on pictures of the device.
The POCO X3 NFC features a 6.67-inch FHD+ Dot Display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate. The 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate creates an incredibly smooth and responsive experience superior to most flagships on the market.
The display is also covered with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for added protection while there is a 20MP sensor located inside the tine dot.
At the back, the phone packs a Quad-camera setup but with a redesign from what we saw on the X2. The camera housing now has a rectangular shape with two of the edges curved. The main sensor is a flagship Sony IMX 682 sensor featuring an f/1.89 aperture and 1.6μm 4-in-1 Super Pixel that produces detailed and ultra-clear pictures. There is also a 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera that boasts a 119° field of view propped up by ƒ/2.2 aperture and a 1.0μm pixel size, while the 2MP macro camera and depth sensor complete the setup offering extra functionality and reinforcing the main lens’ capabilities.

The POCO X3 NFC comes out as the first phone that will feature a Snapdragon 732G processor which should bring incredible performance to the phone. On top of that, you get a 5,160mAH battery which is touted to last up to two days on a single charge.
To ensure the steady operation and frictionless user experience, the device embeds LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus, combining an enlarged copper heat pipe with multiple layers of graphite that work together to reduce the heat of the phone’s processor by up to 6 degrees.
To ensure the utmost sound immersion, the device also packs a pair of flagship-grade stereo speakers. The 4cc-equivalent upper speaker, 1cc-equivalent lower speaker, and up to 0.5mm vibration amplitude provides for crystal clear stereo sound and absorbing gaming experience. Meanwhile, the speakers’ ability to self-clean ensures unmuffled audio in the long run.
The phone is pretty cheap too retailing at just $199 via Aliexpress and starting at €199 or €249, depending on the storage in some European markets.
