Following the MIUI 13 rollout for the Global variant of the POCO X3 Pro, the Indian variant is now getting the same as well. The update is based on Android 12 and is accompanied by the February 2022 security patch.

Sized 3.1GB, the update has been stated to increase system security along with optimizing some system apps and features, in the changelog.

System

• ‌Stable MIUI based on Android 12
• Updated Android Security Patch to February 2022. Increased system security.

More features and improvements

• ‌New: Apps can be opened as floating windows directly from the sidebar
• ‌Optimization: Enhanced accessibility support for Phone, Clock, and Weather
• ‌Optimization: Mind map nodes are more convenient and intuitive now

Aside from the above, the MIUI 13 update for the POCO X3 Pro is fairly boring, with almost nothing new aside from new wallpapers. Some users have observed that the messed-up notification layout has also been finally fixed, but that’s about it.

Do note here that the update is currently only being rolled out to Mi Pilot Testers in India, according to Xiaomiui. If all’s found well with it, then expect a wider rollout within a couple of weeks. Alternatively, you can attempt a manual installation after downloading the ROM zip via this link, but that’s not recommended.

The POCO X3 Pro is one of POCO’s top-selling models and saying it lies in the same league as the legendary POCO F1 in terms of popularity wouldn’t be a stretch. Both devices are highly performance-oriented, and as such brought flagship processors to ridiculously low price points. But while the POCO F1 has hit the end of the road with software support, the X3 Pro is still going strong and has now bagged MIUI 13.

The update carries version number 13.0.3.0.SJUMIXM and the ‘global’ tag, meaning it’s being rolled out to multiple regions. Sized 3.1GB, it also brings along Android 12 and the February security patch (via Xiaomiui).

The changelog doesn’t mention much apart from the Android and security patch version, with the only highlighted feature addition being the ability to open apps as floating windows directly from the sidebar. This is paired with some optimizations for a couple of security apps:

System

• ‌Stable MIUI based on Android 12
• ‌Updated Android Security Patch to February 2022. Increased system security

More features and improvements

• ‌New: Apps can be opened as floating windows directly from the sidebar
• ‌Optimization: Enhanced accessibility support for Phone, Clock, and Weather
• ‌Optimization: Mind map nodes are more convenient and intuitive now

Do note here that the MIUI 13 update for the POCO X3 Pro is still in its early stages of rollout and appears limited to Mi Pilot testers for now. If found free from bugs, it will be released widely. You can still give it a try after downloading it from here, though.

The post POCO X3 Pro gets MIUI 13 global stable with a rather boring changelog appeared first on Gizmochina.

MIUI 13 was announced for India earlier this month as a minor update over MIUI 12.5, bringing along a number of under-the-hood improvements and some new wallpapers. While the event had revealed the first wave of Xiaomi and Redmi devices set to receive the update, POCO devices had been given a miss. POCO is, after all, an “independent” brand. But that has changed with yesterday’s POCO M4 Pro 5G launch event.

A few seconds of said launch were dedicated to MIUI 13 for POCO devices, with the official claiming that the update stays just as clean but becomes faster and more efficient than ever before. Along with this, the first batch of POCO phones set to receive MIUI 13 was also announced:

• POCO M4 Pro
• POCO M4 Pro 5G
• POCO X3 Pro
• POCO F3 GT

Exact dates weren’t revealed but it was stated that the aforementioned models will get the MIUI 13 in the coming weeks.

But these devices are only a part of a lengthier list that also includes a bunch of older devices. While POCO is yet to announce an official update timeline for all of the MIUI 13-eligible devices, Xiaomiui has curated an unofficial list which we have given below.

• POCO X2
• POCO X3 (India)
• POCO X3 NFC
• POCO M2
• POCO M2 Reloaded
• POCO M2 Pro
• POCO M3
• POCO M3 Pro 5G
• POCO M4
• POCO F2 Pro
• POCO F3
• POCO C3
• POCO C31

Not all of these devices will get MIUI 13 with Android 12, though. MIUI is sort of independent from Android, so a number of devices will also get MIUI 13 based on Android 11.

While the year has been rather slow in terms of smartphone sales, the fourth quarter really turned into a win-win situation for both consumers and corporations. Buyers benefitted from the huge discounts while companies’ sales figures saw a major spike. Such companies have thus been excitedly sharing data points from last month. But perhaps the most interesting bit is from Xiaomi that just revealed that POCO X3 Pro was the best-selling smartphone in several European countries over the Black Friday shopping period.

Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group China and general manager of the Redmi brand, shared on social media site Weibo that the POCO X3 Pro has bagged the top spot in Amazon’s Black Friday sale in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

This is unsurprising considering the price of the POCO X3 Pro (6GB+128GB) dropped significantly from its already-compelling figure of €249 to just €179. The 8GB RAM + 128GB variant, on the other hand, saw its price drop from €299 to €200-220. The offer was hard to resist especially when one takes a look at the device’s spec-sheet – Snapdragon 860 flagship processor, 120Hz display, 64MP rear camera, 5160mAh battery, and whatnot.

Now, Amazon doesn’t publicly share data about best-selling products from a particular timeframe, but an archived version of Amazon Germany’s ‘Best Sellers’ page from November 29th did show the POCO X3 as #1 (via XDA). The phone has now, however, fallen to second place.

All in all, Lu Weibing’s post is a solid indicator for Xiaomi gaining traction in western European markets and of more success to come.

The post POCO X3 Pro turned out to be a real money-spinner during Europe’s Black Friday sales appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi is said to unveil MIUI 13 at the Xiaomi 12 series launch event this month at the earliest. However, the company is yet to finish the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition rollout for some of the eligible devices. Two such phones, namely POCO X3 and POCO X3 Pro have now begun to receive the current latest version of MIUI via a system update.

The POCO X3 is more than a year old. On the other hand, the POCO X3 Pro made its debut earlier this year. But both launched with MIUI 12, albeit with different Android versions. Anyway, both of them now run Android 11 and they even received MIUI 12.5.

Following that, the smartphones have now finally started receiving the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition update in India with the following build numbers.

• POCO X3 – V12.5.4.0.RJGINXM
• POCO X3 Pro – V12.5.5.0.RJUINXM

Unsurprisingly, the OTA software update is being rolled out in batches. Therefore, some users might receive it earlier, while others will have to wait a bit longer. The update should be also available for other regional variants of the handsets.

The POCO X3 and POCO X3 Pro are strong contenders for MIUI 13 update, given their age and popularity. An alleged eligible list even suggests the same. Anyway, POCO is yet to officially confirm it.

It’s a known fact that POCO smartphones run MIUI like Xiaomi (formerly Mi) and Redmi-branded devices. Hence, POCO recruits MIUI testers for its handsets from time to time. The brand has now opened registrations for the recruitment of a fresh batch of testers.

According to an official announcement post on POCO Community, the brand is looking for testers interested in trying out MIUI Stable ROM. These users will be the first to use stable builds before they are rolled out to the general public.

They will be responsible for providing feedback on new software builds. They are expected to point out bugs and offer suggestions. They should be aware of the issues while using beta software and are recommended to have the ability to recover phones in case of any failure.

Most importantly, POCO is only accepting applicants who are at least 18 years of old. This means curious teenagers cannot enroll in the program.

POCO is currently recruiting MIUI Stable ROM testers for the following devices.

• POCO M4 Pro 5G

  • Global
  • EEA

Xiaomi just launched the POCO M4 Pro 5G in the global market: it is essentially a rebrand of the Redmi Note 11 (there is only a small difference in the design) and it carries an outstanding price tag. Thanks to a launch deal, the phone has been made available for just €199: an amazing price for a mid-ranger with 5G and great overall specifications. But there is another POCO device available since early this year that carries astonishing street prices, and it is a flagship killer: we are talking about the POCO X3 Pro. Does it make sense to go for the new POCO M4 Pro 5G or the POCO X3 Pro is actually a better deal? This comparison between their specifications will shed some light on this question.

Xiaomi POCO M4 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro

Design

The advantage of the POCO M4 Pro 5G is the fact that it is a more compact phone, while the POCO X3 Pro is a very chunky device as it weighs 215 grams and it is 9.4 mm thick. The POCO M4 Pro 5G is not among the thinnest and most lightweight phones, but it is definitely easier to use with one hand and to keep in a pocket. On the other hand, the POCO X3 Pro looks to have better build quality as its display sports the Gorilla Glass 6 protection. Both the phones have a plastic body, so do not expect premium materials. But they both come with some kind of water and dust resistance (the IP53 certification).

Display

The display of the POCO X3 Pro is not only wider if compared to the POCO M4 Pro 5G, but even superior in terms of image quality. Unfortunately, it is an IPS panel, so if you are looking for those bright colors you get with AMOLED displays, you will be left disappointed. But it comes with an amazing 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10 certification improving the image quality on streaming platforms. The POCO M4 Pro 5G comes with a Full HD+ IPS display as well, but its refresh rate goes up to 90 Hz and the phone lacks the HDR10 certification. Despite being very affordable, these two handsets sport a side-mounted fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.

Hardware/Software

The main advantage of the POCO X3 Pro is its amazing hardware department. Thanks to the Snapdragon 860 mobile platform which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 855+ and 865, it is able to provide flagship-class performance and that is the reason why it is a great device for gaming. The chip is paired with a RAM of up to 8 GB and a UFS 3.1 internal storage which furtherly enhances the overall performance. But there is one thing you need to know: the POCO X3 Pro lacks the 5G support. If you want a 5G phone, then you must accept the lower-end hardware department of the POCO M4 Pro 5G powered by the midrange-class MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset. Both the phones run Android 11 with MIUI 12.5 to customize it.

Camera

The POCO M4 Pro 5G is equipped with a new upgraded main camera sporting a 50 MP resolution: this camera is actually better than the 48 MP sensor found on the POCO X3 Pro. The POCO X3 Pro instead provides a better front camera with a 20 MP resolution. The POCO M4 Pro 5G has just one secondary sensor on the rear: the 8 MP ultrawide camera, while the POCO X3 Pro adds a pair of 2 MP sensors, but we consider them useless and I believe it is better to get a device with a better main camera such as the POCO M4 Pro 5G.

Battery

The POCO X3 Pro is equipped with a slightly bigger battery sporting a capacity of 5160 mAh, but this does not mean that it provides a longer battery life in every scenario. Due to its higher refresh rate and the worse production process of its chipset, its battery life could be inferior with some usage patterns.

Xiaomi POCO M4 Pro 5G vs Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro: Price

POCO M4 Pro 5G starts from €199/$229, and you can currently find the POCO X3 Pro close to that price thanks to the best street prices. There is no definitive winner of this comparison: if you need 5G and a better camera, then POCO M4 Pro 5G is a smarter choice. But if you want a stronger processor and a better display, then go for the POCO X3 Pro (which would be my actual choice).

Xiaomi’s independent POCO brand has got quite a handful of decent and affordable smartphone releases this year, more than we saw last year. The company is still expected to release a few more before the end of the year. However, the POCO X3 Pro, released in India in March this year, is in the news for the wrong reason. An Indian Twitter user Aman Bhardwaj (@Ammybhardwaj13) has reported that his POCO X3 Pro exploded just about 5 minutes after it was removed from the charger after a full charge. According to the victim, the phone was purchased barely two months ago. He also shared some images of the damaged phone and a receipt for the purchase. The receipt shows the phone was purchased on the 15th of June, 2021 from a third-party retailer but we cannot verify if it is an authorized dealer.

The images also show the phone’s charred remains with the battery bulging out, a sign that it is likely the battery must have exploded. The incident also burnt the blanket on the bed it was lying on when the explosion occurred.  Thankfully, no one was injured during the explosion neither did it result in a serious fire.

I just bought the phone 2 month ago and look at this phone got blast firstly charging 100% than i remove charger than 5 min later blast .shame on uh poco. SIR HELP @POCOGlobal @IndiaPOCO @MiIndiaSupport @MiIndiaFC pic.twitter.com/2VEUL7eYhS

Poco India is yet to respond to the incident. We’ll keep you updated if any new development emerges. However, this incident brings to two the number of Poco X3 series units that have reportedly exploded. In April this year, a POCO X3 unit that was purchased in December 2020 went up in flames while charging. POCO India blamed the incident at the time on “external force”, claiming after a preliminary investigation that the battery was punctured leading to the explosion. We hope a thorough investigation will be conducted in this case.

The post POCO X3 Pro allegedly goes up in flames in India after charging appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Android 11-based LineageOS 18.1 went official at the beginning of April. Since then, the project has added support for a number of devices. The latest addition brings builds for three popular POCO smartphones.

POCO handsets run MIUI like other Xiaomi group phones. The brand calls it MIUI for POCO. Not everyone likes the company’s software. Those users can try custom ROMs.

LineageOS is one of the most popular custom ROMs. The team released LineageOS 18.1 based on Android 11 a few months back. This software is now available for POCO F2 Pro, POCO F3, and POCO X3 Pro.

Power users of the above-listed handsets who enjoy fiddling with their smartphones can unlock their device’s bootloader and install the latest LineageOS 18.1 via custom recovery. It is worth noting that third-party software is not meant for everyone. Hence, proceed only if you know what you are doing.

That said, since POCO F2 Pro is a rebranded Redmi K30 Pro, LineageOS 18.1 can be also installed on Redmi K30 Pro as well as Redmi K30 Pro Zoom Edition. Similarly, Mi 11X and Redmi K40 also support the latest version of LineageOS as these phones are nothing but the POCO F3.

Talking about official software, all these POCO smartphones currently run MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. They should receive MIUI 12.5 Enhanced Edition in the coming months, followed by MIUI.

Poco has provided an update for limited owners of its Poco X3 Pro already sold in India. The MIUI 12.5 software update is being pushed to a limited number of devices in India and monitored for a seamless update and improved performance of the X3 Pro. If this first stage of the rollout goes smoothly, it will be expanded to cover all Poco X3 Pro units already sold in the subcontinent.

The MIUI update is covered by an 830MB download that encompasses all the essential aspects of the user interface for all-round improved performance. The June 2021 current security patches are available with the download, and this will bring the Poco X3 Pro up to speed on that aspect. The operational aspects of the latest update will mean that we could see a faster operation of the device across several fronts. The update will also mean that there will be custom adjustments on the device, a more responsive effect of hand gestures, and greater rendering power. Poco says on the whole that the latest MIUI 12.5 update will bring an overall lighter and faster interface, which will also be durable.

Some observed bugs have also been fixed with the latest update, thus enhancing notifications and notification badges. A gesture shortcut has been added to the Notes app on the Poco X3 Pro, with the latest MIUI 12.5 update. The Notes app seems to have undergone a complete revamp, with dynamic layouts, mind maps with complex structures, and more significant sketching and doodling.

It is not clear at this time when a full rollout will commence, but we expect the assessment of the update on the limited units will be rapid so that all users of the Poco X3 Pro in India will subsequently enjoy better performances of their devices.

Redmi K20 Pro is the first-ever flagship smartphone from the Redmi brand. The device debuted with MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie. It was updated to Android 10, followed by MIUI 11. Last year, the handset also got MIUI 12 update. Now, it has started receiving MIUI 12.5 update along with Android 11. Similarly, Xiaomi is also rolling out MIUI 12.5 update for POCO X3 Pro.

The Redmi K20 Pro MIUI 12.5 update is currently live in China with build number V12.5.4.0.RFKCNXM. Just like the Mi 9, this phone is also getting Android 11 with this new system update.

On the other hand, the POCO X3 Pro MIUI 12.5 update is only available in Europe, EEA variant to be specific. The update arrives with build number V12.5.4.0.RFKCNXM.

Both these software builds are in the ‘Stable Beta’ phase right now. This means they are being rolled out in batches for a select few users. The update will be seeded out to all users gradually if the early adopters don’t face any major issues.

The MIUI 12.5 update should be available for other regional variants of these two smartphones in the coming weeks. However, we cannot tell for sure when exactly they will be receiving it.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite launched in the global market in two variants: Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite and Mi 11 Lite 5G. The latter is the first phone ever with the all-new Snapdragon 780G: the best Qualcomm’s offering for the mid-range segment. But the chipset is not everything on a phone and having such a great SoC does not necessarily make the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G the best midrange out there. For this comparison, we chose two of the best mid-rangers sold in the global market in order to establish if the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is able to compete for the title of best mid-ranger of 2021: POCO X3 Pro and OPPO Find X3 Lite. Let’s discover who is better on the paper through a specs comparison.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G vs Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro vs OPPO Find X3 Lite

Design

The design of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is very attractive because it has one of the thinnest and most lightweight bodies in the whole smartphone market. The OPPO Find X3 Lite is another incredibly thin phone and it is even more compact than Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G, but the Xiaomi’s mid-ranger is thinner and lighter. However, I personally prefer the OPPO Find X3 Lite due to its premium materials. The POCO X3 Pro is bigger, uglier, and thicker than both its rivals, so it loses the design comparison.

Display

With the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite, you get the most advanced display on paper. The AMOLED panel of this phone is able to show up to one billion colors, it supports the HDR10+ certification and it has a 90 Hz refresh rate. The OPPO Find X3 Lite comes right after with an AMOLED panel providing a very nice color reproduction, high brightness, and 90 Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, with the POCO X3 Pro, you get an inferior IPS display with less brilliant colors, but you have a 120 Hz refresh rate. However, an IPS panel like this can not compete with the AMOLED displays of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G and the OPPO Find X3 Lite.

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware setup belongs to the POCO X3 Pro which packs the high-end Snapdragon 860 processor paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage. However, the POCO X3 Pro is the only one of the trio to lack 5G connectivity. If you want the most powerful phone with 5G, then you should go for the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G powered by the Snapdragon 780G paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 internal storage. It has less impressive performance than a flagship killer like the POCO X3 Pro, but at least you get 5G. All the phones are based on Android 11.

Camera

The best camera phone of this trio is the OPPO Find X3 Lite. On the rear side, it has a quad camera including a 64 MP main sensor with bright f/1.7 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth. Even the front camera is better with its 32 MP resolution. The silver medal goes to Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G sporting a 64 MP triple camera with the best macro sensor, as well as a 20 MP front camera.

Battery

The POCO X3 Pro packs the biggest battery (the capacity is 5160 mAh) and it provides the longest battery life. But with the OPPO Find X3 Lite, you get a faster charging technology with 65W power and the support of reverse charging.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G vs Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro vs OPPO Find X3 Lite: Price

The price of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G for the global market is €369/$435, OPPO Find X3 Lite costs €499/$589, and POCO X3 Pro costs €279/$329. The winner of the comparison for most of the users should be Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite due to its impressive display, good value for money, great chipset. But if the price of the OPPO Find X3 Lite drops, it may represent a better choice thanks to its faster charging technology, better cameras. Despite its huge battery and amazing hardware, the POCO X3 Pro loses due to the lack of an AMOLED display and a 5G modem. But its price is a lot more affordable.

The post Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G vs POCO X3 Pro vs OPPO Find X3 Lite: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

POCO just launched two record-breaking flagship killers in the global market. POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro are the most affordable last-generation devices with flagship-class hardware you can actually find in Europe. Those who search the maximum performance with the minimum expense will love these two handsets due to their amazing processors. But is it worth spending more to get the POCO F3 or the POCO X3 Pro is enough for your actual needs? Let’s try to discover it together through this comparison between their specifications.

Xiaomi POCO F3 vs Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro

Design

The POCO X3 provides the best design because it is built with more premium materials. The back is made of glass with the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, while the frame is made of aluminum. Further, the phone is thinner with a thickness of just 7.8 mm and it is even lighter as it weighs just 196 grams. Last but not least, the design of the camera module is definitely more elegant. The POCO X3 Pro has a plastic body, it is thicker and heavier than its rival. But you should consider that the POCO X3 Pro has the IP53 certification protecting the phone against dust and splashes.

Display

The POCO F3 is superior even when it comes to the display, with a huge difference in terms of image quality. The POCO F3 has an AMOLED panel providing more brilliant colors and deeper blacks; further, it has a higher 1300 nits peak brightness and the HDR10+ certification. The POCO X3 Pro has a midrange-class IPS panel with less impressive colors and lower brightness. Despite it has an AMOLED display, the POCO F3 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, just like the POCO X3 Pro.

Specs & Software

The POCO X3 Pro has a high-end hardware department, but the POCO F3 is again better thanks to a more powerful processor. We are talking about the Snapdragon 870 which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 865+ and Snapdragon 888, providing top-tier performance. The POCO X3 Pro has a Snapdragon 860 chipset which is essentially a rebrand of the Snapdragon 855+. While the POCO F3 supports 5G connectivity, the X3 Pro does not. The memory configurations are the same with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. Note that POCO X3 Pro has expandable storage, while POCO F3 does not feature a micro SD slot.

Camera

The cameras are the weakest points of these handsets. Unlike the hardware departments, these cameras are far from being high-end sensors. You get a lower-midrange camera setup with both POCO F3 and X3 Pro. The former has a better macro camera but it lacks a depth sensor, while the latter has a depth sensor but an inferior macro camera. The main sensor and the ultrawide cameras are the same. Both the phones feature a 20 MP selfie camera, but with different focal apertures: the F3 has a brighter focal aperture, which is why it should be able to click better selfies.

Battery

The POCO X3 Pro has a bigger battery than POCO F3 and, given that it does not support 5G, it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. The POCO F3 has a more efficient display, but it does not seem to be enough to cover the gap between the two batteries. Despite that, the POCO F3 should still be able to cover one day of usage. Both the phones support 33W fast charging and lack wireless charging.

Price

The POCO F3 has a starting price of €369/$435 for the European market, while the POCO X3 Pro starts from €249/$293 (but you can actually find it for just €199 thanks to the launch promo). Despite the X3 Pro packs a bigger battery the POCO F3 is a way better phone due to its better AMOLED display, premium design, better chipset, 5G connectivity, and slightly better cameras. However, consider that the POCO X3 Pro is the most affordable last-generation flagship and it can let you save a lot of money while still delivering an awesome user experience.

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.

POCO X3 Pro performance and camera

The POCO X3 Pro features the newly launched Snapdragon 860 Octa-core chipset, built on a 7nm process, clock frequency up to 2.96GHz, has Adreno 640 GPU. This chipset is paired with up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 which is 198% faster than UFS 2.1. Apart from this, the POCO X3 Pro also has expandable storage up to 1TB, and LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus for cooling.

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!

After a not-so-packed third week that gave us a chance to catch our breaths, the wave of smartphone announcements for the coming week is going to be overwhelming. With phones from POCO, OnePlus, Black Shark, Honor, Vivo, realme, and Motorola, there is a lot to look forward to in the coming week.

POCO X3 Pro

POCO kicks off the week with a global launch event on Monday, March 22. It is believed that it will announce the POCO X3 Pro, an affordable 4G flagship killer, that will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset. The Xiaomi offshoot is also expected to announce a second phone, the POCO F3 which has been reported to be a rebadge of the Redmi K40. This means the POCO F3 will have the Snapdragon 870 5G processor powering it, a super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 48MP triple rear cameras.

Vivo X60 series heads to India but the first stop is Malaysia

The Vivo X60 series will be making its way to India on March 25 but before then, it will make its first stop in Malaysia on Monday, March 22, for its global debut. It has been reported that the camera-centric phones will drop the Exynos 1080 chipset found in the China model for the Snapdragon 870 processor.

Vivo Y72 5G

Vivo will try to grab more of the spotlights on Monday when it unveils its new mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y72 5G in Thailand. This phone will have a MediaTek chipset at its heart, a 5000mAh battery, and 64MP triple rear cameras.

OnePlus 9 Series and OnePlus Watch

OnePlus takes over on Tuesday, March 23, for the launch of the OnePlus 9 series. Three phones are expected at the launch which should simultaneously hold in India, Europe, and the United States. There is the top-of-the-line OnePlus 9 Pro which will come along with a standard variant called the OnePlus 9 while an India-exclusive OnePlus 9R will also be announced. The much-awaited OnePlus Watch will also be unveiled at the event. China will get its own launch event on the following day.

Black Shark 4 series

On the same Tuesday, Black Shark will be unveiling its new gaming smartphones – the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro. These two phones will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processor respectively, 144Hz AMOLED screens, 4500mAh batteries, and support for 120W fast wired charging. The phones will also have motorized shoulder buttons that retract into the frame when not needed.

Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex goes pro

If you don’t want to grab the OnePlus Watch, then you may be interested in Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex Pro smartwatch which is launching on March 23 too. This is a rugged smartwatch and it will be arriving with new features such as a new BioTracker PPG sensor and a revamped operating system.

Another Honor V40 phone, this time it’s “light and luxurious ”

The Honor V40 5G launched earlier this year as the manufacturer’s first phone following its split from Huawei. Now, it is getting a sibling that will be sold as the Honor V40 Light Luxury Edition and it is also coming on March 23.

The phone looks premium with its curved display and eye-catching rear design. It has been reported it will have support for 66W fast charging, so you can refill its 3800mAh battery in under an hour.

realme C25 and realme 8 series

realme has two events next week. The first will hold in Indonesia on March 23 and it plans to unveil the realme C25 smartphone, a budget MediaTek-powered phone with a 6000mAh battery capacity.

The following day, March 24, realme India will take the wraps off the realme 8 series. This will be a bigger event with not only more phones but more fanfare as the phones are realme’s challengers to the Redmi Note 10 series.

Motorola Edge S goes global as the Moto G100

Towards the end of last year, Motorola announced that the first Moto G smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 series processor is coming this year. On Thursday, March 25, the phone will arrive as the Moto G100. The device should be familiar to those who have been following Motorola’s announcements this year as it is a rebadge of the China-exclusive Motorola Edge S, the first flagship killer of 2021. We are excited nonetheless.

iQOO Z3

The iQOO Z3 5G is scheduled to launch in China on March 25. Reports say the phone will come with a Snapdragon processor, an FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and support for 55W fast charging.

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.

The post Official Xiaomi store reveals POCO X3 Pro’ full specs; has a Snapdragon 860 4G processor appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days ago, Xiaomi’s independent POCO brand confirmed that it will be holding a launch event in India on March 22. The popularity of the POCO brand dates back to the iconic POCO F1 which not only arrived with flagship specs but also hit the ground running with affordable pricing. After that model, POCO has released a number of successors including the F2 Pro which was launched last year.

Now, there have been speculations that the tech brand may launch two smartphones at a go during the March 22 event. The POCO F3 is expected to make its debut alongside the POCO X3 Pro. POCO may have just confirmed this speculation with its latest tweet which spoke about the brand “unleashing the beasts,” with emphasis on “beasts”. You will agree that if the Chinese brand was referring to a single phone model, a singular noun would have been used.

Indian tipster Mukul Sharma hopped on POCO Global’s mentions and disclosed via two hashtags that the POCO F3 and X3 Pro are to be unveiled on that day. While we can’t be so sure about it but that is what it seems. We’ll have to wait for just a few more days before the launch date.

The launch event is expected to kick off at 08:00 PM (GMT) on March 22.

Beasts eh? #POCO #POCOF3 #POCOX3Pro https://t.co/KRNVN8d6mG

The POCO F3 is expected to arrive as the global variant of the Redmi K40 that was launched in China recently. The model recently received FCC certification bearing the same model number as the Redmi K40. The flagship model will sport an AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The flagship model will get its juice from the Snapdragon 870 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.

On the other hand, the POCO X3 Pro is expected to feature a 120Hz FHD+ display and will be powered by an unreleased Snapdragon 860 chipset. The phone will also pack a mammoth 5,200mAh battery.

The post POCO seems to be planning a dual launch for the POCO F3 and X3 Pro on March 22 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.

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 is all set to launch the POCO X3 Pro smartphone in India on March 30. It will be an enhanced version of the POCO X3 handset from last year. DealnTech came across a European retailer listing of the POCO X3 Pro. The listing revealed the pricing of its two variants along with its color options.

The POCO X3 Pro may arrive in variants such as 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. These variants could be priced at 269 euros (~$321) and 319 euros (~$380), respectively. It may arrive in color editions such as Phantom Black, Frost Blue, and Metal Bronze.

The POCO X3 Pro is expected to arrive with a 120Hz refresh supporting FHD+ display. It is unclear whether the device has an AMOLED or LCD screen. A couple of leaks have claimed that the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 860. Interestingly, the chipset has not gone official yet.

The X3 Pro could be backed by a 5,200mAh battery. Like the POCO X3 handset, the Pro model may carry support for 33W fast charging. For photography, it may feature a 48-megapixel quad-camera system. It will come with other features like 4G VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, and Android 11 OS. The other details of the POCO X3 Pro are yet to be revealed.

In related news, POCO will be holding a global launch event on March 22. While the company has not confirmed the name of the phone that will go official through the global event, it is speculated to unleash the Snapdragon 870 powered POCO F3.  Rumors have it that it is a rebadged version of the Redmi K40 that went official in February in China.

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.

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.

The post POCO India wants to break the price-performance benchmark on March 30 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.

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.

Just a few days ago, the same smartphone had received certificates from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in India and the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM), the regulatory body of Malaysia.

Recently, the phone with model number M2102J20SG was approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Russia, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, as well as the TUV Rheinland authorities.

It is a chipset family that belongs to Snapdragon 855 and Snapdragon 855+. But there are also rumors that the Snapdragon 860 will also be launched under the same family.

The device is expected to come with a quad-camera setup on the back. It could be featuring a 48-megapixel primary camera sensor with a wide-angle lens, and the other three sensors could be an ultrawide lens, a macro shooter, and a depth sensor. We expect more details about the POCO X3 Pro to surface online in the coming days.

Fresh information reveals that the phone has approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) authority of India (via) and the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) regulatory body of Malaysia.

A POCO smartphone with model number M2102J20SG was recently approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Russia, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore, and TUV Rheinland authorities. The letter ‘G’ at the end of the model number indicates that it is a global edition.

The M2102J20SG model has also passed SIRIM certification. The FCC certification revealed that the phone will come with MIUI 12, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, and NFC.

The sm8150 chip belongs to the Snapdragon 855 family, which includes Snapdragon 855, Snapdragon 855+, and the rumored Snapdragon 860. Nothing else is known about the specifications of the POCO X3 Pro.

Xiaomi is expected to launch the Redmi Note 10 series in the coming days. Similarly, POCO may also release POCO X3 Pro. Ahead of their official announcement, these smartphones are being certified by multiple organizations. Hence, they have now received SIRIM certification as well.

For those unaware, SIRIM stands for Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia. The certification issued by this institution is a must for companies to import and sell their products in the country.

Hence, the upcoming Redmi Note 10 (M2101K7AG), Redmi Note 10 Pro (M2101K6AG), and POCO X3 Pro (M2102J20SG) from the house of Xiaomi may launch in Malaysia. Anyway, the exact release date of these handsets is a mystery just like their specs.

As of now, we are aware of the storage configurations and color variants of the Redmi Note 10 series for India. The vanilla Redmi Note 10 is reported to come in 4G + 64GB and 6GB + 64GB variants, whereas the Redmi Note 10 Pro is said to be available in 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB versions.

Further, customers will be able to pick up the non-pro model in either White, Green, or Grey color options, while the Pro model will be sold in Bronze, Blue, and Grey color variants.

On the other hand, POCO X3 Pro is a complete mystery. We are yet to learn anything about this smartphone. But we are certain that these three phones will run MIUI 12.

In February 2020, POCO launched POCO X2 as its first product after becoming an independent brand. Its successors POCO X3 NFC and POCO X3 were later unveiled in September. Now, four months later, a new device called POCO X3 Pro has been certified by FCC.

Though this is the first time we are hearing about POCO X3 Pro, we think the Indian head of POCO had already teased this phone a few days back. 

In a recent AMA session with Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), Anuj Sharma, the Country Director of POCO India confirmed that the POCO F2 will not have a Snapdragon 732G chipset. At the same time, he also revealed that there will be another model bridging the gap between POCO X and POCO F series.

We think this smartphone could be the upcoming POCO X3 Pro. Interestingly, this handset had already cleared other certifications like IMDA, EEC, and TÜV Rheinland with model number M2102J20SG. But we have learned about its branding only now, thanks to FCC.

According to these certifications, the forthcoming POCO device will come with 4G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and will run MIUI 12 operating system. Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this phone.

Anyway, we expect to learn more about the POCO X3 Pro before its official announcement in the coming days. As of now, we can only assume it to debut with an aggressive price like any other POCO-branded smartphones that have launched so far.

POCO has recently confirmed that it will be launching the POCO X3 NFC on Sept. 7. The phone will be announced globally through an online launch event. Malaysia is one of the markets where the POCO X3 NFC will be launching on the same date. Yesterday, POCO started a promotional campaign for the POCO X3 NFC. The poster that revealed the details of the campaign carried POCO X3 Pro moniker. Hence, it appears that there could be a POCO X3 series variant dubbed as POCO X3 Pro.

Chinese publication ITHome has shared a screenshot of the promo image, which has been taken down. The image states that those who participate in the campaign will stand a chance to win the POCO X3 Pro smartphone. The company did not share any details on the specs of the POCO X3 Pro.

The promo image has been replaced by a new one that mentions that the winner will win a POCO X3 NFC phone. It is unclear whether the POCO X3 Pro phone really exists, or it was the moniker was mentioned erroneously.
