Xiaomi equips the Poco X3 Pro with Android 11 and its in-house user interface MIUI 12. The Android security patches were at the level of April 2021 at the time of testing (end of May) and consequently still pretty up to date. Xiaomi offers the Poco X3 Pro in blue, metal bronze, and black.
POCO X3 Pro has a length of 165.3mm, a width of 76.8mm, a thickness of 9.4mm and a weight of 215 grams. The new POCO X4 Pro has a length of 164.2mm, a width of 76.1mm, a thickness of 8.12mm and a weight of 202 grams. Compared to the previous generation POCO X3 Pro in terms of design, the new generation POCO X4 Pro is a device that is thinner, less heavy and has a better design stock firmware. When we evaluate the devices in terms of design, our winner is the POCO X4 Pro. They generally prefer thin, light and beautiful devices. A heavy, rough device will both hurt your hand and make your device look bad.
I own devices running various OSes but my personal preference is Android as far as smartphones are concerned. My background is in engineering, statistics and supply chain. My love of computers goes back to my early teenage years. IBM, ZX Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore and BBC Micro are some of the computers that I wrote code for. Data speeds on the X3 Pro are comparable to my spare Pixel 4a. But the main issue here is that there is no support for VoLTE.
- And yes, that reminded me about the haptics on this phone.
- As of 5G connectivity, POCO X3 Pro does not support 5G bands.
- They also have the same display size too, there’s not much to tell them apart if you look at them from the front side.
However, a higher refresh rate can also put more strain on the phone’s battery life. Affordable Price – The Poco X3 Pro offers excellent value for money, as it provides high-end features at a mid-range price point. Decent Processing Capabilities – One of the main highlights of the Poco M4 Pro is the ability to process tasks like a piece of cake. It’s loaded with a Dimensity 810 5G processor and runs on an ad-free version of MIUI which is pretty decent in my opinion. The UI of the shell and apps is smooth, and the increased frequency works in some games.
