After launching a myriad of rebranded Redmi phones over the past six months, Poco has taken the wraps off its first original smartphone today. The Poco X3 arrives as a successor to the Poco X2, which debuted as a Redmi K30 4G rebrand in India earlier this year. Poco X3 is the world’s first phone to be powered by the Snapdragon 732G chipset. It includes a 120Hz display, 64MP quad-camera array, and a massive battery with fast-charging to cap off the feature set.
Poco X3 has been priced at 229 euros (~Rs. 19,900) for the 6GB+64GB variant but you can get it for 199 euros (~Rs. 17,290) during the early bird period. The higher-end 6GB+128GB variant has been priced at 269 euros (~Rs. 23,350) and will be sold for 249 euros (~Rs. 21,600) during the early bird period.
Starting off with the design, the Poco X3 features a central racing track-inspired stripe that runs along the massive DSLR-inspired camera module as well. The company has adopted a new camera design and plastered a humongous, iridescent Poco logo at the bottom to make the device stand out. You also have a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which doubles as the power button.
Poco X3 includes a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch response rate. It also supports a ‘dynamic switch feature’ to cycle between 60Hz, 120Hz, and 50Hz (while viewing photos) automatically – as and when required to conserve battery. The display also boasts a 20:9 aspect ratio, 2400 x 1800 resolution, and a punch-hole cutout with a 20MP selfie snapper at the top.
