As you’d hope, then, Android runs perfectly on the Poco X3 Pro too. However, the truly notable performance improvement over less powerful phones like the Poco X3 NFC is in high-end games such as Fortnite and ARK: Survival Evolved. Yes, they are old, 2019 phones. But the older 8-series Snapdragon chipsets are still more powerful than today’s 7-series ones.

However, the Poco X3 Pro’s main camera performs noticeably worse than some of the alternatives, including Xiaomi's own Poco X3 NFC and Redmi Note 10 Pro. The camera triggers HDR only when it detected Sun in the image frame. So, we had to toggle HDR manually.The powerful chipset is further paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. If you are looking for an affordable phone for gaming, the Poco X3 Pro should be your best bet.

Fifth is the slim case for the Xiaomi Poco X3. The case is processed to ensure a delicate and soft touch with a non-slip design. With a unique camera-slide cover which protects the camera lens from scratching and sharp objects by lifting the camera 0.2mm above the surface. With tactile buttons for easy and solid use. Day-to-day usage was mostly smooth and the phone can handle 120Hz smoothness well for the most part. We didn’t face any issues with calling or connectivity either. The phone supports dual 4G VoLTE, VoWi-Fi, and carrier aggregation.

The selfie camera is pretty decent, though. It uses a 20MP sensor, just like the more camera-focused X3 NFC.

IP53 rating indicates the device is protected from small splashes and typical dirt and dust, but not from full immersion or severe dust, sand, or other particles. The Poco X3 Pro's screen looks sharp, color is bold, and the fairly large size instantly gives you the sense it’s made for games, video, and other stuff the enthusiast Poco crowd would enjoy. Poco phones seem to be popular among people who like to get a lot of tech for their cash. We haven’t minded too much, choosing for once to live like a rebel and not use a silicone case. But with a case attached, the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro may be a struggle for some hands.Seventh on this list is the mirror case by FanTings for the Xiaomi Poco X3. The case has a built-in stand for easy hands-free viewing whenever you want, where ever you want. The phone case also protects the phone from dust, dirt, scratches and fingerprint smudges. The clear mirror flip has the function of viewing the time, date and weather on the cover just like your phone’s screen. It comes in many attractive colors to enhance your style.
