[@bensgadgetreviews]

Official pricing: 199 euro for the 6GB/64GB and 249 euro for 6GB/128GB. WRITTEN review with more photos here: www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2020/09/07/poco-x3-nfc-review-xiaomis-answer-to-the-budget-conscious/#fbe12c02a6b4

9:17 i think why there's not a sort of dynamic wallpaper for Poco X3 NFC because it have the IPS- LCD screen i think.

[@immazid]

Just checked your review on Forbes. Its perfect, you covered everything so well be it build quality battery camera performance and even the m reason for rise in price of flagship devices. Keep it up Ben. 👍

[@RickCortez23]

Based on that price, great deal right?

[@aym3n835]

Do a review for the k30 ultra plz and thx

[@rickaustin3077]

It's not the ram making it load slow or its certainly not the fact that it's got 6gb ram it may be because it's got ddr4 but 6gb ram isn't being fully used just loading a app so it's 100% not the fact that it has 6gb ram it will be a few factors only having ufs 2.1 plus midrange chip and the fact it has ddr4 are all contrabuting to the slownes loading apps

[@AkoToMarjon]

The price is 12,990 Philippine peso or around 268 usd including taxes for 6/128 the entry level is much cheaper

[@revelking6727]

Actually it is less 1k today with freebie.

Always love your reviews Ben 👍 Appreciate your knowledgeable insight like how you mentioned Qualcomm increased the price of the SD865, Makes sense now why many brands start using SD765g & other 700 series SOC's to keep the overall price down. Have a great week my friend.

Good tech and business insights Ben! The POCOX3 NFC would be great in a flagship Mi Store in Canada. A solid pocket smartphone camera in our new normal where every penny counts.

[@gauravkalia6009]

Excellent and superfast review Ben. But only sad part is, Xiaomi continued their heavy weight (200+ gm phones) way. Wish they start launching lighter phones like Oppo recently and stop these 2 mp camera gimmicks.

[@RandomPerson-tz7wk]

If you think +200g is heavy. You really need to exercise your body muscle. muscle atrophy is real...

[@gauravkalia6009]

@@RandomPerson-tz7wk bro, im a regular gym goer, so don't even think of going in that direction. I prefer Dumbbells in gym and not to carry them all along with me through out the day. The point is, useless gimmicks like quad camera etc add unnecessary weight to the mobile. Rest is ur understanding, I can't help. Have a nice day.

[@RandomPerson-tz7wk]

@@gauravkalia6009 they can't keep thier weight down less than 200g less as they keep increase the screen and battery size. Camera is minor weight factor but a unfortunate marketing factor since it's a hard sell for to the public for having less features than thier competitors. You would be better off with a smaller screen like iphone se/pixal 4a. I don't think xiaomi have any other products for -200g. Or consider realme 7 pro 180g.

1:45 and that's the reason, why I stopped using my automated adb input script (on MIUI). It simply does NOT reflect real-life usage, since (for whatever reason) MIUI does NOT handle this sort of input very well, which results in janky animations - that are not present when using the device manually.

[@mannoesgehtnix]

You talk about slow loading times. I think this is more due to the processor and the UFS 2.1 storage. Unless you have 20 apps open the RAM doesnt matter that much

[@bensgadgetreviews]

Good point. My bad I should have realized the UFS 2.1 storage is an issue too

You can install the live wallpaper and activate it with google wallpapers. I've used it on my redmi note 5 pro, and that has an lcd display. It works just fine. I think Xiaomi just wants to leave it for their flagships

Bty charge you quote really takes about 1& half hours. Super speakers, stereo at 6in apart & sometimes feels surround sound. Volume level is too low at full on amount, a problem on most phones. Why? Anyway use the Goodev Volume Booster. It's simple & works great. Playing tennis 🎾 when they hit the ball it reverberates inside the phone. Great phone.

[@davidariyan7915]

I think to enable the super wallpaper you need to install the apk for it just like the Poco x2.It's not depending on the screen. Either is LCD or AMOLED. As long as is Xiaomi phone and the SOC is capable to runs it well. Or, just wait for an update.

I think the Xiaomi dynamic wallpaper is not available in this Poco X3 because the CPU is too weak that Xiaomi does not allow to use. Not about LCD panel, I believe K30 pro (and other higher end modules) with SD865 and LCD panel allow to have dynamic wallpaper

[@nelsonkwarko-darboh543]

Please compare it with infinix zero 8 and Camon 16 premier

[@katarzyna579]

[@mikeshinoda_98]

Can we compare x3 camera & videos with OnePlus 7t? Which phone would win

[@Moledmc]

Great review dude. Thinking of Pixel 4a, but damn this is £150 cheaper and a 20MP selfie cam! 4a is only 8MP. What would u recommend?

[@bensgadgetreviews]

I would pick this over 4a. I care about screen refresh rate and overall speed alot. The pixel's camera is excellent but it's not like this main camera is bad. It's a fine camera. But if you want to use your phone to take alot of portrait shots of people or even product shots then the 4a can get some stunningly natural looking depth of field

[@Dorrrr1111]

[@Wolfkan]

trying to decide to go for this poco x3 or spend more and go for poco f2 pro amoled screen but 60hz?

[@Wolfkan]

@kakro k30 ultra only has 1 4g band supported in my region so it would be my last choice, poco f2 pro has more band support and there is always realme x7 pro witch is kind of like the k30 ultra but with plastic frame and slighty smaller screen and a punch hole. but i am defiantly going amoled.

[@Wolfkan]

@kakro probably i will go with x7 pro, especially that 65w charger is very tempting.

[@jeromefraser7322]

UK price for the X3 128Gb model is £229, exactly the same price as the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Which is better??

Do you think poco will release. Poco x3 pro version?

How you explained why prices raised i saw that you don't understand why customers complains about prices, to keep it simple not all countries have 5G network and customers don't need to pay for modem that they don't use.

To me Samsung sux at implementing the Android. No matter how high the specs, the android running on Samsung is still slow. I own a Note 20 Ultra right now.

[@creamyfoam9007]

then samsung killed A71 with M51 A71 is cruel trap...

[@markuslc1888]

opening speed of apps has nothing to do with RAM, RAM keeps processes in the background, the ssd is responsible for opening speed together with the processor, so ofc a snd 865 with ufs 3.0/1 will always be faster. 6gb RAM are atm enough, especially for the target group, if you are a heavy user u don't buy a cheap phone.
