Key specs
Critic consensus
“The Poco X3 NFC offers excellent equipment, particularly when considering the low price, since the smartphone is usually available starting from 230 Euros (~$272) and on sale even sometimes below 200 Euros (~$236). Despite its low price, the Xiaomi smartphone presents itself very complete and even offers modern equipment characteristics such as a 120-Hz display and brand new SoC. The camera equipment is also exemplary in this price class but does receive its share of complaints in this test.”
“It has a large and high refresh rate screen, powerful and gaming-friendly hardware, a good camera package, a phenomenal battery, and lovely MIUI 12. What's not to like? Well, it's not the perfect smartphone either - the speakers could have been tuned better, the nighttime photos need some improvement, and we aren't such fans of the slower pixel response time which cases smearing or ghosting when scrolling. However, the attractive launch price positions the Poxo X3 quite favorably so we are more than willing to dismiss its shortcomings as non-essential.”
“The Poco X3 NFC itself comes with promising specs, particularly considering its super aggressive price. It starts from just €230 and at first glance offers more than its competitors in this price range. Arguably more importantly it's globally available, making it particularly exciting.”
“There are better phones than the Poco X3 out there on the market, much better ones too - it's just that none of them are as cheap. So, for its price point, the Poco X3 has very good performance, unexpectedly good smoothness, a decent set of cameras, and great but not amazing battery life in 120 Hz mode.”
