POCO is unveiling the POCO X3 Pro in India on March 30 but it is already holding a global event on March 22 where it is expected to unveil two smartphones- POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3. In this article, let’s focus on the POCO X3 Pro that is launching as a 2021 flagship killer and take a look at its expected specs, features, and price.

POCO X3 Pro- What’s New?

Right from the word get-go, POCO has been teasing a flagship experience on the POCO X3 Pro like its 2018 POCO F1. Despite bringing it under a different series i.e, X, the device is certainly going to focus on performance & balancing the price-performance ratio.

POCO X3, which launched in September 2020, was a budget smartphone with a new Snapdragon 732G processor at that time. Likewise, the company wants to debut the ‘Pro’ variant with an unannounced Snapdragon 860 chipset. This is said to be an overclocked version of the already existing Snapdragon 855+.

Leaked renders showed that the device will have a similar design to the POCO X3. However, the ‘Pro’ is confirmed to get the improved Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. Speaking of renders, the POCO X3 Pro is said to come in three colors- Phantom Black, Metal Bronze, and Frost Blue options.

Last week, POCO India teased the arrival of POCO F1’s spiritual successor. According to multiple leaks and the teaser shared by the brand, this device could go official as POCO X3 Pro. Today, the company has officially scheduled a launch event for March 30.

As per the official press release, POCO India will be holding a launch on March 30. The brand says that it will ‘break the price-performance benchmark’ with its upcoming phone. The company is promoting this handset with #PROformance.

Going by recent leaks and certifications, this smartphone could be called POCO X3 Pro. We believe this could the same device, which Anuj Sharma, the country director of POCO India teased in an AMA video.

Anyway, this phone could go official first in global markets. Because POCO Global has also scheduled a launch event for March 22.

The so-called POCO X3 Pro is said to be powered by an unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC. It is rumored to feature an FHD+ AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, just like the Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) and the Redmi K40 series. 

Further, it could run MIUI 12 backed by a 5,200mAh battery. On the connectivity front, the handset may come with dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC (region-specific).

The smartphone has two codenames (Vayu, Bhima) and two codenames (M2102J20SG – Global, M2102J20SI – India). It is also expected to house a 48MP quad-camera (wide + ultrawide + macro + depth) setup on the back.

Last but not least, the POCO X3 Pro is reported to come in three colors (Black, Blue, Bronze) and two storage configurations (6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB) priced at €250/€269 and €300 respectively.

Recently, we saw signs of POCO prepping the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3 smartphones. Today, Indian tech influencer Mukul Sharma has come out with exclusive info regarding their Global launch and specs.

Mukul in a Twitter post, says that POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro Global launch could happen this month, i.e., March. Among these, the POCO X3 Pro is also set to launch in countries like India as per a recent tip by another Twitter user.

To further kindle the rumor of this launch event, POCO Global Spokesperson Angus Kai Ho Ng has already tweeted “March”. Moving on, Mukul says that POCO F3 would be a rebrand of the recently launched Redmi K40 from China.

POCO F3 Specs(Expected)

If this doesn’t ring any bells, the FCC has already certified the POCO F3 and the model number gives away that it is indeed the Redmi K40 rebrand. There are reasons why POCO could have chosen this to be the successor to the POCO F2 Pro. Xiaomi has priced the Redmi K40 aggressively at 1,999 yuan($310) in China.

And for that price, it packs in a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 870 flagship chipset, 48MP triple rear cameras, and more. Thus, it makes a perfect combo for becoming a member of the legendary POCO F-series of devices.

POCO X3 Pro Specs(Expected)

Coming back, Mukul also sheds light on the specs of the mysterious POCO X3 Pro smartphone. He says that the device will feature a 120Hz FHD+ display, 5,200mAh battery, Snapdragon 860 chipset.

This is a yet-to-be-released chipset from Qualcomm and rumors say that it could be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+. Also, the type of the display panel is expected to be an IPS LCD but let’s wait for the official info on that.

POCO garnered a fair bit of attention with the POCO F1 back in 2018. It was the cheapest flagship smartphone with a Snapdragon 845 chipset at that time. After that, the company has launched only a flagship POCO F2 Pro Globally and has been bringing a lot of mid-range and budget devices.

Let’s hope POCO surprises us in 2021 by bringing back the affordable flagship killer hype again.
