The POCO X3 is an upcoming smartphone that is scheduled to launch soon. The name of the device was confirmed in a tweet earlier today by Angus Kai Ho NG, the product marketing manager and global spokesperson for POCO Global. Now a leak has revealed the key specs, render, and launch date for the smartphone.

The source of the leak is the forum site, MIUITurkiye, but the page seems to have been pulled down. Nevertheless, the young leaker, Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) has tweeted some of the details.

According to the tweet, the POCO X3 will have a 6.67-inch 120Hz display. It is an LCD panel with a centered punch hole for the front-facing camera. The display will also have a 240Hz touch response rate.

Powering the phone is a yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 732 processor. News of the chipset first surfaced a few weeks ago and it is touted as an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 730G. The processor will draw power from a 5160mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

The back of the phone is home to quad rear cameras arranged in a very unusually-shaped camera housing. We believe the renders are legit seeing as they are similar to those posted by POCO’s marketing manager in his tweet above. As you can see, he asks fans to choose which design they think is that of the phone and the person with the closest design will get to win a free POCO X3 phone. Seeing as the phone’s renders have now leaked, it remains to be seen if the competition will go on or be canceled. The leak says the primary rear camera is a 64MP sensor but doesn’t mention the other three sensors. For the selfie camera, the phone is said to have a 20MP sensor.

The POCO X3 is shown in two colorways – Blue and Dark Gray. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that doubles as the power button and is positioned on the right side of the phone. The image also shows the left side of the device is where the SIM tray. There is a speaker grille above the display and at the bottom too. It also looks like there is an audio jack on the other side of the USB port.

The leak says the POCO X3 will be announced on September 8 which is about two weeks from now.

What do you think about the design of the POCO X3? At least this time around it is not a rebadged phone.
