Poco X3 NFC review

[@grapy83]

Oh thanks god, finally a sensible review. Usually the reviewers start comparing features with very expensive high end phones or start highlighting only the lacking features. It's so annoying. There is a reason budget phones are made. Because most people including myself can't even dream of having a premium phone let alone expect to have perfect cameras, perfect haptics, perfect screen etc etc etc. I don't know what is happening to so many reviewers these days.

Watching this on my Poco X3 NFC! Just got it earlier. This phone is such a steal for the price

[@hal9xxx321]

@NOMAN KHAN I found this bug when you pull down the notification toggle. It went missing until you close and open it again. But now I'm not able to recreate it again so imma let this pass🤷. As for the auto switching from 120Hz to 60Hz it's not that noticeable to me. The typical MIUI stutters do present here and there but it's not that bad. Edit: Updated to MIUI 12.0.2, and now the ultrawide cam crashes when in video mode. Any of y'all experience this? Edit 2.0: anotha bug👉 Poco x3 battery indicator bug imgur.com/gallery/qRPwRYz

[@suryaa109]

how's the camera performance?

[@jaystanheiser]

@Mifdhal Akif was right. It's a bit noticeable but tolerable though. Its doesn't always happen. I guess this iscoz of the SD 732G itself. Since it's a new chip. I know Poco/Mi will make future software updates to rectify this. But overall, this is a beast. I mean for the price versus the specs and the value you get out of this phone, you just can't deny that this is the best midrange phone you can buy. (Not sponsor)

[@hal9xxx321]

@@suryaa109 Prior to this I was a mi 8 user. Comparing stock mi 8 to X3 I'd say the mi 8 still takes better photos on daylight. But mi 8 works like a charm with gcam (san!ty v9.5) due to having the same sensor and soc as the pixel 2. So if I'm comparing mi 8 with optimized gcam against stock X3 it's a night and day difference. Even tho my 2 year old mi 8 have (technically) a much inferior ISP and main camera sensor (IMX363 vs IMX682). I was hoping that San!ty guy will buy one and create a mod for it Edit: let's just say that the camera was "eh, it's good enough" based on my testing with it. Techtablets made a great video about it

Watching on my Poco X3 NFC, I am so SO happy I bought this phone. It performs excellently, the volume is fantastic on speakers. The response rate is also great. Gaming is great, I haven't noticed any lag when playing my mobile games. As far as weight, it's not as heavy as I thought it would be. I got used to it that touching a smaller phone feels weird due to how light it feels now. A common complaint I've seen reviewers talk about was the logo so I was expecting it to be awful but I don't even notice it. Seriously, it's smooth to the touch and you'll be putting a cover over it too anyways. So much whining for something that you won't even notice! The camera is fun to play with as well. Buy it!!

Hello GSMArena. I´m looking at something like the x3 NFC or H. p30. Where I live they are virtually the same price. For the money, which is better and why? If they are similar values, what are the biggest differences?

[@HampterCEOalt]

Camera would be better on the p30 and for performance it is slightly better but you do miss out on the 120hz refresh rate but the display is still really good on the p30. The battery life won't be as good as the X3 but the p30 was already great they are not as good now after the degredation I would say you'll be better with the x3 and the Huawei doesn't have GMS.

[@barrychung11]

X3 uses a variable refresh rate base on what you doing, like watching YT or movies I think it can drop down to 30hz or when you do nothing on the home screen it drops down too. That is also why some people complain about the stutter, cause it has a delay to crank back up to 120hz from lower hz. Is a compromise for longer battery life, so could either be a pro or a con depend on your preference.

You can't play call of duty mobile game in this phone properly. Every time you play codm after 5 or 6 min your screen get black. The game is still run. But you cant see anything. Only thing you can do is exit from the game and reconnect. Apparently the same issue is happening PUBG also.
