Poco on Tuesday launched Poco X3 Pro, a overall performance-oriented midrange phone created to recreate some of the magic of the Xiaomi spin-off brand’s close to-cult-classic Poco F1 from 2018. “Only a Poco can beat a Poco,” Poco India director Anuj Sharma mentioned in the course of the virtual keynote occasion highlighting how the Poco X3 Pro – with its new hardware – was 40 % more quickly though matching the Poco F1’s exceptional cost-to-overall performance benchmark with a beginning cost of Rs 18,999.
The Poco F1 caught a lot of focus back in the day, being the only phone at its cost to come with a Snapdragon 845 – which was Qualcomm’s flagship SoC at that time. Poco had launched it at a cost of just Rs 20,999. No other phone has been in a position to beat that to this day, anything that Sharma also pointed out. The Poco F1, in reality, was so ahead of its time even Poco has not been in a position to replace it with a “true” successor to this day. The Poco X3 Pro, also, is no Poco F2 just to be clear.

Regardless, it is now the most effective phone in India South of Rs 20,000 with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset. The phone also comes with rapid UFS 3.1 storage, which is claimed to be 14x more quickly than UFS 2.1 noticed inside the Poco F1. There is also a new liquid cool plus technologies inside the Poco X2 Pro with a heat pipe that is mentioned to be 70 % bigger than the one inside the Poco F1 – so in theory, it should really be far better at heat management as properly.

Rest of the Poco X2 Pro is no slouch either. It has a 6.67-inch IPS LCD show with a 1080p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh price (240Hz touch sampling) – this is adaptive which indicates it is capable of automatically adjusting to 50Hz, 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz based on content. It has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection and a centrally positioned punch hole cutout housing a 20MP selfie camera.
Software inside the phone is MIUI 12 for Poco without having any advertisements. Fuelling the phone is a substantial 5,160mAh battery with 33W rapid charging help (compliant charger in the box). There is also help for USB PD charge at 26W.
For photography, the Poco X3 Pro has a 48MP principal, 8MP ultra wide-angle and two 2MP cameras, one for macro and a further for portraits.
