After its global launch earlier last week, the much-anticipated Poco X3 Pro has made its India debut today. It is being referred to as the spiritual successor of the Poco F1, which was a flagship killer, and brought a Snapdragon 800-series chipset to the sub-Rs. 25,000 segment back in 2018. We have since seen many competitors, including Realme, try to emulate this success but in vain. And now, the Poco X3 Pro has today launched in India to repeat history.
- Design & Display
Starting off with the design, the Poco X3 Pro features a plastic back panel with the same race track strip design as the Poco X3. The back panel includes two matte strips at the edges and a glossy track, with the reflective Poco logo, in the middle.

Battery Life & Charging
The smartphone comes with a massive 5,160mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support using the USB Type-C port at the bottom. It will easily last you two whole days with light to medium usage, claims the Chinese giant. The Poco X3 Pro also comes with Liquidcool 1.0+ technology for improved thermal performance. There’s a 3.5mm audio jack, IR blaster, Bluetooth 5.0, and Wi-Fi 5 support in terms of connectivity options.
Price and Availability
The Poco X3 Pro has been priced starting at Rs. 18,999 for the 6GB+128GB base variant in India. The higher-end 8GB+128GB will set you back Rs. 20,999, which is an exceptional price tag for a Snapdragon 800-series smartphone. Poco F1 users will get special discount offers, which will be announced on 1st April, so stay tuned for more information.
