This custom ROM is new in its category but has gained quite a level of popularity. It is based on AOSP ROM, which includes Google Apps, and you don’t have to Install Gapps Separately. As you may have guessed, this custom ROM brings a real Android Pie experience to rooted devices. You’ll also get all the Google Pixel wallpapers on your device. Also, the launcher that comes with this ROM is Google Pixel’s launcher.

However, gamers shouldn’t buy it if gaming is not their primary concern. It’s possible to play up to an hour per day without worrying about how long it will last. The battery lost several percent more overnight, and it needed to be recharged by noon on the second day. The Poco X3 Pro will last for two days if it’s used less frequently. Geekbench 5 scores the phone 2,530 more points than Snapdragon 765G smartphones like the OnePlus Nord, which averages 1,800.

The price converts to roughly AU$320, but it’s not currently available in Australia. Both the Poco X3 Pro and X3 GT come with Android 11 under MIUI 12.5 for Poco, a side-mounted fingerprint reader and USB-C input.

Poco pairs the Snapdragon 860 with the choice between 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage – though there’s also a microSD slot to expand that further. The frame is still built out of aluminium, with a plastic back – and this is one of the phones where it really does feel plasticky. Camera quality is a top priority The Poco X3 Pro’s camera hardware has been diminished in order to accommodate the fast processor. Its images are significantly softer, with less fine detail and texture detail information, than the Poco X3 NFC’s. This is a 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen with a 1080 x 2400 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. As those prices show, this is just slightly more expensive than the Poco X3 NFC.

• 15 minutes was enough to top the phone up by 28%, with half an hour netting me 58% – easily enough for a full day’s use based on my habits at least.
• This makes the width of this phone comparable to some of the largest phones.
• If these things matter to you, the Redmi Note 10 Pro (AKA the Note 10 Pro Max in India), the Moto G60, or the Realme 8 Pro may be far more suitable for you.
• Xiaomi’s other phone lines – that look an awful lot slicker.

It is so much better compared to the Snapdragon 732G found on the non-pro model. The Snapdragon 860 is not a brand-new processor, it is a higher binned Snapdragon 855+. This allows it to clock higher making it faster than the Snapdragon 855+. Poco X3 Pro and Poco X4 Pro are two smartphones from Xiaomi’s Poco brand that have generated considerable interest among tech enthusiasts.
