POCO has surprised everyone with the pricing of the POCO X3 Pro. The company has launched a flagship killer at a starting early bird price of just 199 euros. Let’s take a look at its price, specs, features, and availability.

POCO X3 Pro Pricing, Availability

POCO has launched two versions of the POCO X3 Pro. You can take a look at the official pricing below:

• POCO X3 Pro
  • 6GB + 128GB- 249 euros
  • 8GB + 256GB- 299 euros

Although these are official prices, POCO has introduced early bird pricing for both the storage variants. Accordingly, the 6GB RAM variant will be sold for 199 euros while the 8GB version will retail for 249 euros.

The device will be available for pre-booking from Today(March) and for purchase from March 24 across different channels like Amazon, Mi Home, eBay, Shopee, Goboo, and more. The early bird pricing will mostly run through to April 1(POCO hasn’t mentioned this exactly).

POCO X3 Pro Design and Display

POCO X3 Pro looks very similar to the POCO X3. The company says that it has retained the Croma design on the back. To eliminate the fingerprint smudges, it has also brought a dual texture design that will also aid in ergonomics. The device comes in three colors- Phantom Black, Frost Blue, Metal Bronze.

The device has the same 6.67-inch sized FHD+ IPS LCD DotDisplay on the front with a centered punch hole. This display supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 450 nits(manual), 1500:1 contrast ratio, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate.

The post POCO X3 Pro flagship killer launched with Snapdragon 860 chipset, 120Hz display, Liquid Cooling, & more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year Poco released the Poco X3, which offered great value for money to its buyers. And recently, at their Spring event, Poco updated the X3 with a new Pro version. And as the name implies, the X3 Pro is the Poco X3’s beefier brother.

The X3 Pro in our hand is a model that we got from the online retailer Goboo.

Goboo usually features a fast global premiere of the latest models in direct partnership with brands like Xiaomi and Poco. And the Poco X3 Pro model was no exception. Their shipping policy promises dispatch within 24 hours and can deliver in countries such as Spain within 2 days. They even offer a guaranteed no-hassle 14-day return policy and a 2-year warranty.

Especially for the Poco X3 Pro, Goboo offers an exclusive price for early-bird pre-sale buyers that includes free screen repair within the first 6 months of purchase. For the X3 Pro launch, Goboo is keeping a World Premiere event in partnership with Poco, so make sure to check the link down below this video, and you get a chance to win a brand new Poco X3 Pro as well as learn more information about the new Poco products in the market. You also get a chance to win their big prizes like the other Poco series models, Mi smart projector, Mi watch lite, and so on. 

In a teaser released recently, Poco talked about how it shook up the budget market with a respectable performance-to-price ratio and suggested that the new phone would be available at the same price as the F1, representing the original spirit of the Poco F series. Now we know the phone they were talking about was the X3 Pro.

Poco X3 Pro Review: Design

The Poco X3 Pro starts with a 6+128GB version but there’s another version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone comes in 3 color versions, Metal Bronze, Frost Blue, and Black. 

The Poco X3 Pro in our hands is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860, which is a higher-binned version of the Snapdragon 855+. Compared to the Poco X3 running the snapdragon 732G, the 860 chipset is definitely a surprising upgrade. But please note that the 860 chipset is a 4G chipset, so it doesn’t support the latest 5G network connection.

The phone features a quad rear camera setup headlined by a 48 MP main sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide sensor, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth shooters. For battery, the X3 Pro has inherited the non-Pro version’s large battery design and features one with 5156mAh battery capacity and 33W fast charging, which, even when compared to the Redmi K40 series, still brings a comfortable battery life. And the 120 Hz 1080PLCD display also comes back on the Pro model.

The design of the X3 Pro doesn’t change much. It looks almost the same as the Standard X3. So we still have the camera module arranged at the upper-middle position of the back. And the big Poco logo on the back still stands out.

Turn it around, and there is still the same 6.67-inch hole-punch display. As a budget model, the X3 Pro’s narrow chin design is still impressive.

In addition, the X3 Pro also carried forward some useful features related to daily usage, including NFC, Z-axis linear motor for better vibration experience, stereo dual-speakers, and the rare 3.5mm headphone jack. 

POCO X3 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

Thanks to the debut of the Snapdragon 860 chipset, the Pro’s performance has got much better than the standard model. The standard X3’s performance didn’t really cheer up the fans last year, so we were looking forward to seeing the performance on the X3 Pro. Since the X3 Pro in our hands is still a non-commercial sample, we were unable to run most benchmarks on it.

But we could run AnTuTu and the phone scored around 476,000. Unfortunately we couldn’t test out other benchmarks. But if there are any software updates to open this limit, we will be sure to let you know.

While we couldn’t run most benchmarks, we could still test its gaming performance.

Well, the results didn’t disappoint us.

In PUBG Mobile, due to the in-game framerate limit, we were only allowed to run under 60fps with the highest HDR graphics setting. So it was pretty easy for the Pro to achieve an excellent and stable gaming performance without any thermal issues. The phone didn’t heat up, and after 30mins of gaming, its highest temperature reached was only at 45℃, which is much better than those flagships running the snapdragon 888 chipsets.

In NBA 2K20, we again could not access a maximum framerate up to 120fps. However, the X3 Pro easily achieved an average framerate at 59.65fps without any performance down throttling or heating issues. 

In Genshin Impact (20mins), under the highest graphics (motion blur OFF), the X3 Pro surprisingly achieved at avg. 49.9fps with some fluctuation in battling.

POCO X3 Pro Review: Camera Performance

The quad-camera combination contains a 48MP AI main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP portrait camera, and another 2MP macro camera.

Now let’s see some photo samples shot on the X3 Pro.

Main Camera

The main-camera samples have pretty good colors and decent contrasts. When you turn on the AI colors and HDR mode, the vivid colors look more delightful but sometimes it may come out a bit oversaturated. Under most conditions, we prefer the samples without AI adjustment as the images had natural colors and were closer to the true tone of the scene.

The exposure of the main camera is pretty accurate except when facing high contrast situations. The main camera also did a relatively good job of removing the fringing effect.

Wide-Angle Camera

On the other hand, the wide-angle-camera’s samples didn’t show a good dynamic range or high contrast when compared to the main camera’s output. But it was good at producing pleasant colors. Under most conditions, the anti-distortion of the wide-angle camera is pretty good but sometimes it wasn’t perfect especially when you look carefully at the corners of the image.

Macro Camera 

The 2MP macro camera can focus on subjects close to 4cm. The colors in the macro samples were a bit dull, and the low resolution of the sensor also makes it not so practical. Meanwhile, you have to be careful with lighting conditions since the macro cam performs much better in brighter scenes.

 Night Mode Performance

As for the night mode, the improvement in brightness is really remarkable. Make sure that you turn on the night mode without fail under insufficient lighting conditions, as it would definitely boost your shooting experience, no matter for the main camera or the wide-angle sensor.

And we can also see how it stabilizes your image and balances the exposure between brightness and darkness.

POCO X3 Pro Review: Battery Life & Charging

In the charging test, a full charge took around 1 hour and 12mins, which is close to what we got on the X3.

To give you a basic idea of how the larger battery extends your battery life, we played PUBG mobile, shot photos, and videos, and watched online videos, and performed each activity for 30 minutes. Then we recorded the power consumption for each activity. Just check out the results here!

POCO X3 Pro Review: Verdict

So this was our quick review of the Poco X3 Pro. We hope you got enough information before you go ahead and make your purchase decision. 

This time the improvement of the X3 Pro is more remarkable than what we had on the X3. And the phone almost brought us back to Poco’s golden days to some extent, not just because of its price but also the inclusion of a high-performance chip inside an affordable phone. However, we’re still a bit upset about its design. Honestly, we would have preferred all these upgrades on a newly-designed model instead of just recycling an existing one. 

By the way, if you are interested in the Poco X3 Pro, don’t forget to click the link here and join the event held by Goboo and Poco. If you are picked as one of the lucky winners of the newly launched X3 Pro, do let us know!

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.

POCO X3 Pro Expected Specifications and Features

Thanks to @chunvn8888 on Twitter, we can take a look at the entire specs and features of the upcoming POCO X3 Pro that has already been listed on Vietnam’s “Shopee Mall”.

The post POCO X3 Pro rumor roundup: Expected Specs, Features, and Price before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

POCO is gearing for a launch event both in India and other global markets. At the event, the company is expected to launch the flagship killer POCO X3 Pro. Surprisingly, POCO India hasn’t revealed the name officially yet. However, today, the company has teased the presence of Corning Gorilla Glass on it.

POCO India, in an official tweet, shared a video of the toughness test of the Gorilla Glass 6. If you recall, Corning launched the Gorilla Glass 6 back in 2018 with 2x durability than the predecessor.

Anyway, the upcoming POCO X3 Pro‘s display will feature the Gorilla Glass 6 with improved scratch resistance and durability. In the video, POCO also shows a test where the Gorilla Glass is able to handle a load of about 28.65Kgf. That said, the company hasn’t confirmed if both the front and back of the device will have it.

Yesterday, we saw leaked renders of the POCO X3 Pro and the device looks very similar to its smaller sibling, POCO X3. And the non-Pro, which launched in September 2020, has an LCD display protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and not 6. Looks like POCO is making a few changes to make the flagship killer worthy of its price.

The POCO X3 Pro is said to arrive in Phantom Black, Metal Bronze, and Frost Blue color options. The device will have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a supposedly FHD+ display with a punch-hole at the center.

As for Specs, it is said to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 860 chipset, 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, 48MP quad-camera setup, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB storage, and MIUI 12 and retail for a starting price of €269.

The post POCO X3 Pro to feature Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for protection appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

POCO has finally taken its wraps off the secret that has been roaming on the internet. The company has set March 22 as the launch date for the global markets and it is expected to be the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3 / POCO F3 Pro.

POCO Global, in an official tweet, said that the event is going to be the biggest launch of POCO for the year 2021. With a tagline, “When Power Meets Speed”, the launch poster says an Online launch event will happen on March 22 at 20:00 GMT+08:00.

As always you can expect the company to stream it on the official channels like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. Talking about the launch, the company hasn’t yet confirmed the naming of the product that is arriving on next Monday. However, reports say that it is the POCO X3 Pro.

A few days ago, tech influencer Mukul Sharma said that POCO is bringing two devices Globally and there are high chances that the second device is POCO F3/POCO F3 Pro. It is said to be a rebrand of the Redmi K40 devices from China. Last year, POCO brought the POCO F2 Pro to the Global markets on May 12.

However, OEMs have been preponing their launches in 2021, and giants like Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO have already announced their flagships a bit early. Hence, there are chances that POCO might do the same to bid its 2021 flagship POCO F3/F3 Pro right on the lines of its competitors.

Either way, the POCO X3 Pro is almost confirmed to arrive with a #PROformance upgrade over its sibling. Reports so far say that the device will feature a 120Hz AMOLED FHD+ display panel,  yet-to-launch Snapdragon 860 chipset, and a 5,200mAh battery and retail for €269.

Besides, POCO is also launching the device in India on March 30, a week after the Global launch. Stay tuned for more official teasers in the coming days.

The post POCO confirms a global launch event on March 22, could bring two phones appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi and POCO are gearing up to launch their Mi 11 Lite 5G and POCO X3 Pro respectively very soon. Ahead of the launch, the prices of the devices in Europe have now been leaked.

Courtesy of the dealntech report, a Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G listing appears on a retailer listing. As per the listing, the device will have a Truffle Black color and 6GB RAM, 128GB storage variant. The price of this variant is listed as €408.18.

We aren’t sure if this would be the final price but it’s somewhat comparable to the predecessor’s €349 launch price. Besides, Tipster Abhishek Yadav has said in his tweet that the upcoming POCO X3 Pro would retail for around €269.

According to him, this variant of the POCO X3 Pro would have 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Earlier, a leak by Sudhanshu revealed the color and storage variants of the POCO X3 Pro who also said that the device would debut for €250.

Either way, it makes sense for POCO to bring it at a price less than Mi 11 Lite 5G. Although both devices are aimed at different segments, the latter has 5G that’s gaining traction in Europe lately. And if the leaks are true, POCO X3 Pro would be a 4G flagship.

Speaking of which, the POCO X3 Pro is rumored to feature a 120Hz AMOLED FHD+ display panel,  yet-to-launch Snapdragon 860 chipset, and a 5,200mAh battery. The Mi 11 Lite 5G, on the other hand, will likely have a new Snapdragon 775G SoC, 64MP camera, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, 6GB/8GB RAM, 128GB/256GB storage, and MIUI 12 operating system.

POCO has teased the launch date of the POCO X3 Pro in countries like India while Xiaomi is yet to reveal something on the Mi 11 Lite.

POCO India is expected to launch the Poco X3 Pro but there has been no word yet on the exact launch date. Well, the brand has shared an image on Twitter that seems to give a clue to the X3 Pro’s launch date.

The poster is accompanied by the tag #PROformance, with the company disclosing that it will be a replacement for the POCO F1 in India. But what should interest us the most is the hint that the Poco X3 Pro will launch on March 30. Just the way the “Pro” is highlighted in the text, so too “30 M” was highlighted to make it different from other characters. This could be POCO telling us that the X3 Pro will be launched on 30 March.

It is exactly 30 months since POCO launched the POCO F1 and the teaser is an indication that this model will be designed to be an upgrade over the model. The X3 Pro had earlier been certified bearing the model number M2012K11AG. The listing shows the device will pack a 6.67-inch display with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is also expected to come with a mammoth 5,200mAh battery.

Same madness, only more!

The POCO X3 Pro is expected to be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 860 SoC which is an upgrade to the Snapdragon 855 / 855 Plus chipset. However, the chipset will only arrive with support for 4G connectivity and not 5G. We also expect the phone to come in 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB variants. Available colour options will including Blue, Black, and Bronze colour options.

The X3 Pro is tipped to launch with a starting price of €250 in Europe which should be around Rs. 20,000 in India. We expect to find more details about the product as time rolls by.

POCO X3 Pro Global launch is said to happen this month, i.e, March 2021. Ahead of the launch, the device has already received certifications like FCC, NBTC, BIS, and SIRIM. Today, 91Mobiles have partnered with Twitter user Sudhanshu to leak the storage and color variants of the device.

As per the report, POCO X3 Pro will have the following storage, color variants, and Europe pricing:

• POCO X3 Pro Colors
  • Blue, Black, Bronze
• POCO X3 Pro memory variants
  • 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM
  • 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM

Further, Sudhanshu also says that the Europe prices for the POCO X3 Pro will probably start at €250 for the 6GB/128GB variant and the 8GB/256GB variant could debut for €300.

POCO hasn’t started teasing the device officially yet but we have signs for an imminent launch already. Recently, tech influencer Mukul Sharma tweeted that the POCO X3 Pro Global launch could be in March.

This happened a couple of days after POCO Global Spokesperson hinted at a new launch this month. Besides launching Globally in markets like Europe, the device is also expected to arrive in Asian markets like India, Malaysia, and Thailand.

As for specs, the POCO X3 Pro is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 860 SoC which isn’t official yet. Qualcomm has launched a pumped version of the Snapdragon 865+ as the 870 and similarly, the Snapdragon 860 is expected to be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+.

Further, the device will likely feature a 120Hz IPS LCD panel and a 5,200mAh battery. The POCO X3 had a 64MP Quad-camera setup and going by the naming, we can expect some improvements in the camera department of the POCO X3 Pro.

However, let’s wait for the official info to get an idea of how good a sibling is the POCO X3 Pro to the already selling POCO X3.

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.
