POCO X3 NFC Price Review of Key Features

Performance

The CPU of POCO X3 NFC is built with an octa-core processor that is composed of dual Kryo gold cores with 2.3 GHz of utmost clock speed and six numbers of Kryo silver cores with 1.8 GHz of maximum clock speed. In this phone, POCO has provided the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor SM7150-AC 732G (8 nm). The 732G chipset is an upgraded version of the widely known 730G SoC. The graphic unit of X3 bears Adreno 618 GPU. 

POCO claims that you will get 5% faster CPU performance and 15% superior GPU performance in the latest 732G chipset. This chipset would also deliver better power-efficiency and higher gaming performance. However, in real life, the performance of SD 732G is quite similar to its ancestor 720G chipset. Overall, POCO X3 delivers smooth performance in regular multitasking, apps opening, internet browsing, media playing, etc.

This phone is officially available in two variants: 6GB by 64GB and 6GB by 128GB. The staggering LPDDR4X 6GB RAM capacity can open the heavy apps and software efficiently. It also offers added swiftness while running the latest multiplayer gaming software. The storage capacity of both basic and top variants is large enough for preserving diverse apps, large video files, like movies, web series, and gaming software. If you need more space, POCO X3 allows you to install an external memory card. POCO X3 NFC has storage type UFS 2.1 technology that provides a far better user experience than the conventional eMMC.

POCO X3 NFC runs on the MIUI 12.0.1.0 UI on top of Android 10. Here you will enjoy the latest features of MIUI 12 like a floating window, dark mode 2.0, upgraded notification panel, sensory visual design, etc. However, you may experience some stuttering or frame drops in the transition steps like screen lock/unlock, opening Google feed, App closing, etc. It would have been better if POCO could provide an optimized version of MIUI 12 on this phone. However, the update of MIUI 12.0.2.0 somewhat eases these issues. Another drawback is that POCO’s UI is flooded with diverse advertisements which would certainly irritate the users.

The gaming experience in POCO X3 NFC is fascinating. In this mobile, you can play advanced multiplayer games like PUBG, Asphalt 9, COD, Free Fire, and other Multiplayer BattleRoyale games quite smoothly at around 60fps  without much frame drops. The LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus features a 3D heat dissipation mechanism that prevents this phone from catching much heat. 

Though Xiaomi boasts about the dual stereo speaker of POCO X3, its sound quality and loudness is not so overwhelming. But still, the combined effect of its powerful RAM, dual stereo speaker, and 120Hz refresh rate would make your gaming and movie-watching experience more enjoyable.

POCO X3 has been equipped with fully controlled NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Utilizing this feature you can make payments and connect your Smartphone with other gadgets.

Design

The critics say that POCO phones usually inherit the old design of Xiaomi phones. But POCO X3 NFC breaks this tradition with a brand new design. Who knows we may see this design in any of the upcoming Xiaomi phones. This phone is built with a plastic frame and plastic back. But, it has electroplating on its back panel which gives it an attractive aluminum-like finish. 

With 9.4mm thickness, POCO X3 NFC weighs about 215g. The weight distribution is good, but still, the phone feels big and heavy when used with the cover. The rear-sided camera bump of POCO X3 comes in a bigger shape than its ancestor X2 version. Moreover, while you type something on the keyboard of X3, its flat camera bump shows a less wobbling nature that makes this phone user-friendly.

Its NFC mechanism is hidden under the camera bump; so each time you have to touch the NFC tag with the camera housing. This practice may create scratches on the camera glass that is very unfortunate! On the front side, X3 NFC has a single punch-hole selfie sensor. The bezel area of this phone is narrow which makes this phone look trendy.

In this phone, the fingerprint sensor mounted power button and the volume rocker are placed on the right side at a considerable distance. It will facilitate you to unlock the phone quickly. On the left side, this phone has a triple-slot tray for inserting a dual SIM card and an external memory card. The bottom edge carries a speaker grill, microphone, USB Type-C port, and headphone jack. And, the upper edge is packed with an IR blaster, secondary microphone, and a sound extracting hole.

On the front side, X3 has a 20MP selfie sensor with an f/2.2 aperture.

Though its prime rear camera features 64MP resolution, it takes 16MP pictures by default which is a common feature of the SONY IMX682 sensor. The picture quality is satisfactory and the overall color accuracy is close to natural in daylight situations. Activating the night mode, you can take standard quality images. However, in some cases, the images may come with some smoothening effect. The system may delay for some moments while using the HDR effect and night mode.
