Xiaomi Poco X3 Smartphone, NFC, Dual SIM, 6GB RAM, 128GB, Global Version - Cobalt Blue

Performance: 8/10Handles most games pretty well.Aesthetics: 8/10Reflective back looks amazing, even if it's plastic, most people use cases anyway (a TPU case comes with one) and cover their "oh so wonderful glass" back. Being heavy makes it look like it is a premium phone.Call quality: 2/10Earpiece is very bad and probably the most disappointing thing in this phone.Battery life: 10/10Consumed 50% in 5 hours with light-medium usage, browsing Facebook and YouTube mainlySoftware: 5/10Little annoying things here that ruin the whole experience.Price: 10/10I'd consider buying this phone only when on a tight budget but still want to have decent performance.Weight: 6/10A little too heavy for me switching from a 170 g phone to this 215 g phone, especially while laying down.Pros:Cheap with above average performance.120 Hz screen can be pleasing you use sometimes.Stereo speakers are very loud (still has problems).Feels premium even though it has a plastic back (aluminum frame).Capable processor for most games and tasks.Amazing battery life.Fast charging, but heats up a little.Extremely fast and consistent side-mounted fingerprint reader, probably better than the flashy optical/ultrasonic sensors that I hate so much.Cons (outweigh the pros):Software is buggy, notifications don't always show up on the lock screen (were 100% enabled on the lock screen). This might be a software issue that might be or might not be fixed later on.Notifications show up only once on the lock screen. I used to pause timers from the lock screen while cooking, can't do that anymore because they vanish after doing it once. Again, a software issue that might get fixed.The earpiece is the worst I have ever used since the Nexus 5 (after 2 years of usage and degrading badly) during calls. It is badly designed, possibly because it functions as a second speaker as well?It disperses the sound, if you turn down the volume, you won't hear clearly, if you turn up the volume, anyone within 2-3 meters from you can hear just as clearly. This was the biggest bummer with this phone, I think good call quality is the most basic aspect in a phone. If you don't care about privacy while making calls, or you don't usually make calls in noisy environments, or you use headphones most of the time, then this won't really matter.The phone vibrates a lot (like really A LOT) while playing an audio file even at normal sound levels, some might enjoy the experience, I did at first, but found it to be a little irritating after a while of media consumption.Comes with a 2 pin charger (type C) so you need a socket to plug it into the type G outlets in the UAE. You could also use a power strip, most houses have at least one of those.IPS display is not as pleasing to use as an OLED display, dark mode is not as satisfying to use.Most apps are locked at 60 Hz, so the 120 Hz display isn't much of a use most of the time.

Pros1.fast charging2.Great battery life3. Great Performance very responsiveCons1.The display straining the eye compare to AMOLED2.Out dated Android Security Patch3. No Android 11 update yet4. Shot picture on move picture is shakey5. There is side aurora in one of the lenses I don't know of this can be fixed with software update.6. 4G+ doing great in speed test but in browsing experience and hotapot it's little slow7. The mobile shipped europe plug and it's not compatible with UAE UK Plug.

Poco x3 nfc is Very Good for this inexpensive price. Plastic body, didn't try to mimic glass. SD732 is a good midranger chip, no lags or stuttering (better than SD730 in galaxy A71). Dual speakers at this price is amazing. Good LCD screen, bright enough. If you want to buy one, my advice is to go to POCO x3- pro even if you will pay little more (same specs but SD 860).

Good Product. But next time please put the box in bubble wrap in case for the delivery protection. Thank you

I'am a pocco X3 NFC user. decent phone, but honestly now I started hating the phone. After the last update I'm facing ghost touch issue. My touch screen response is uncontrolled at many occasions. I can't even put my phone in loudspeaker during calls. I can't tolerate this more. I checked with some other pocco users review, they are also facing the same issue.Please solve such software bugs for existing users.

This is literally the best budget phone you'll ever find. It has one of the best software ever, it is easy to use. It boosts your performance. If you're a gamer, this phone is decent for you. To remind you, it costs only about 700-800AED. It gives you 120Hz refresh rate which is smooth and also provide high-tech camera with decent megabytes and it comes with a huge battery life and a ridiculous 33W type C charger that charges your phone in just minutes. Should you get it? Absolutely.

i have purchased this from amazon in august 2021 and taken this to india as a gift .But after using ,they informed me ,its hangs a loot and very slow.6GB RAM and 128GB memory is there .I dont know to whom i need to contact .After contacting customer care they will surely ask to send the phone for repairing ,all my data's i need to format and need a standby mobile .Its really complicated .Used only 1-2 weeks ,still the phone is very slow .

Writing this on my Poco X3 and I can say that it is hands down the best budget phone. Don't doubt buying it!

Buen rendimiento.El móvil funciona perfecto, y pienso que Am-az-on debería tributar en los países en los que opera.La cámara es una pasada. También creo que debería dejar de cometer fraude con los falsos-autonomos.La batería dura mucho, a ver si el gobierno se pone serio y cruje a multas a Am-az-on

220 UK quids this phone cost me..If you are tired of replacing expensive high end phones every couple of years and you aren't hard wired into the iPhone matrix then this device is a no brainer. There is so much here for so little dosh, there are umpteen review videos on YouTube that extoll the x3 nfc's many virtues....but first up.. the built in ads? They aren't obtrusive..if they have contributed to a lower unit cost price then that's awesome by me👍 I've not even bothered turning them off!If you are stepping down from a super duper amoled screen to this fhd+ LCD then you will no doubt squirm in your seat a tad when first switching it on..super high def this is not. But if like me you can banish the memory of that eye popping panel on your old flag ship blower and focus on the cost saving you have just made by buying the Pocco, then you will indeed begin to feel a wee warm fussy glow of contentment inside..you still have all you need in a smart phone and that bank balance still looks healthy! Where do we start? Good camera, battery life, screen size and refresh rate, gaming performance, slick user interface, connectivity..(feeling emotional here).. praise be to the mobile phone gods!! we have a head phone socket!!! The other manufacturers may be wondering how this phone slipped in under the radar..for the time being it commands a unique place in the budget phone market in terms of price and spec, I'm more than happy hence a bright sparkling constellation of 5 stars!

You get a lot of phone for a price that makes you wonder how Xiaomi can make a profit. The screen is decent, the fingerprint scanner is fast. Stereo speakers are good and loud and it comes with a headphone jack!Can't comment on the cameras because I take about 3 photos a year. I also see lots of comments about ads, yes they do exist but after some research, you can turn them off which takes about 10 minutes. I got my Poco running Ad-free.I also took out the insurance offered by Amazon. £3 a month for accidental damage is a no brainer, seeing as I had to replace my 6 month old MotoG8 plus due to dropping it.

Most fun phone I've had and I'm used to owning much more expensive handsets. If they're producing smartphones like the Poco X3 NFC at this price, I'll be sticking to this price tier from now on.Things I personally like:Has industry-abandoned features like IR Blaster, Radio & earphone jackStrong stereo speakersSolid buildMIUI customisationApps such as Android Auto working flawlesslyIn my time of using the phone for a few weeks, the phone has gone through a few drops outside and yet no damage. I deliberately avoided buying more glass phones because this has resulted in the ruin of my past purchases. This phone is strong for a device that isn't 100% metal.Although the stereo sound is great, this is accompanied by a certain vibrating of the back of the phone. Not a big problem; I feel it actually provides an added sense of power to the audio, only becoming a severe problem if taught to think of it as one. Nevertheless, Xiaomi saw fit to address this in Miui12 with a, uhm, workaround. More on that later.120Hz screen refresh mode makes the phone feel more responsive to the touch and there's a noticeable improvement in scrolling smoothness but also a noticeable increase in battery consumption.Things i'm not too fond of:MIUI's bloat apps and adsUnbalanced stereoAlthough the phone does feature ads throughout the system, they can be avoided and disabled. Also it's more than likely that the ads contribute to the low price of the phone.Updating to the latest MIUI v12.0.4 (from whatever version I was on before) ruined the quality audio of this device. Stereo is unbalanced with the bottom speaker being louder than the top and the entire audio quality is weaker. This was to remedy the vibration problem mentioned earlier. For this reason, and only this reason, I switched to using a custom ROM to restore the audio quality my X3 shipped with.And with that being the case, I'm more intrigued by this phone than any I've owned before.Oh. And by the way, the phone features NFC too. Works well.Update 21st Jan: MIUI 12.0.7 restores audio balance.

Love this phone from a spec Vs budget angle. Moved on from a 3 year old Redmi Note 5 plus. Size wise, this is big. Comfortable but noticeable in hand. A fan of big phones so ok for me. Not an OLED screen that everyone is screaming about but frankly, I'm not playing games 24/7 either. Battery, enormous! But it does add to the weight, obviously. Camera (the reason for the upgrade) is a treat. 64MP is above some of the flagships out there for at least 2.5 X the price. Good 20MP front camera as well for selfies and portrait mode on both generates an excellent bokeh. MIUI 12 is great and runs smoothly. The ONLY time you see an ad is when you download / install an app and you only see it ONCE. There's even a way to disable it if you YouTube. The one thing I'd suggest is an alternative cover. The one in the box is alright but has virtually no protection for the large camera lenses and annoyingly, to plug in the charging cable you have to open a 'door' at the bottom of the cover to access the USB C port. Try that in the dark and not wake the better half.
