Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco struck gold a last year with the Pocophone F1, which became a major cult hit thanks to the inclusion of unbelievable specs for the price. The X3 Pro is its attempt to recreate that magic, by pulling the exact same trick.
With a Snapdragon 860 chipset, 120Hz display refresh rate, and a 5160mAh battery — all for less than Rs. 20,000 — it certainly looks promising.
Design :
- Bold look
- Very practical design, with 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage
Screen :
- Large 6.67-inch screen
- The Full HD+ LCD screen is decent enough, but not flagship standard
- 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate are standout specs
Battery Life :
- Massive 5160mAh battery capacity
- However with 120Hz refresh rate switched on, you won’t get marathon endurance
Performance :
- Packs a powerful processor for the price (Snapdragon 860)
- Everyday tasks and mobile games are done with ease
- The MIUI software might take some getting used to
Camera :
- The X3 Pro has a four-sensor camera module
- However images were mostly disappointing, lacking vibrancy
- Night Mode performs pretty well
Conclusion
The combination of price and specs will turn heads just as much as its gaudy design, and no wonder: for a base price under Rs. 20,000, it’s surprising to see both a high-powered processor and a super smooth screen enhanced to the tune of 120Hz. It’s powerful enough to handle pretty much whatever you need, and the large and responsive display is particularly adept when it comes to mobile gaming.
Some of the specs do somewhat flatter to deceive; the camera, in particular, is not quite as brilliant as it may seem on paper, and I didn’t find the battery to be quite as long-lasting as its 5160mAh capacity would have led me to believe. Yet this is still a very strong overall package for the price.
