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.

Yesterday, both POCO India and POCO Global revealed when their next launch event will be. The brand is expected to announce the long-rumored POCO X3 Pro at these virtual conferences. We know some of the specs of this handset along with its price for Europe. But now, for the first time, we get to see its design, thanks to a few leaked renders.

The renders of the upcoming POCO X3 Pro come from Ishan Agarwal. He shared them on Twitter, just like he posted the renders of the Redmi Note 10 series before its launch.

As per his tweet and the image, the POCO X3 Pro will be available in three colors, namely Phantom Black, Metal Bronze, and Frost Blue respectively. Going by his Redmi Note 10 series renders leak, these could be the name of the colors in Europe and not India. 

Talking about the design, the POCO X3 Pro will look identical to the standard POCO X3, as per the renders. The rear panel of the phone will have stripes, a huge POCO branding, and a large camera module. However, the colors will shimmer a little and that little thing will differentiate the Pro model from the non-Pro variant in terms of design.

Further, the device will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Whereas, on the front, it will flaunt a centered punch-hole display.

According to previous reports, the POCO X3 Pro will come with the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC, FHD+ display, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, 48MP quad-camera setup (wide + ultrawide + macro + depth), 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB internal storage, and MIUI 12.

Last but not least, the smartphone is expected to retail for €269 and €319 for the 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB storage configurations respectively.
