It may be uncomfortable for many people to hold the X3 Pro with one hand. Except for the front glass, the device is built with plastic material (or Glasstic). It has IP53 certified dust and splash protection feature. On the right side, POCO X3 Pro has the volume rocker and a side-mounted power button. The power button also serves as a fingerprint scanner. On the left side, there is a SIM card tray with a Hybrid slot for a Micro SD card. So, you either use two SIMs or insert one SIM and a memory card at a time. The upper edge holds a secondary noise-cancellation microphone, IR bluster, and speaker grill. The bottom edge is packed with the main speaker, primary microphone, USB Type-C port, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Its bezels are thin. On the top center of the display, it bears a punch-holed selfie camera. POCO X3 Pro has several color options like Phantom Black, Metal Bronze, and Frost Blue.

It offers a Full HD display featuring 1080 by 2400 pixels resolution, 20:9 ratio with ~395 ppi density. The front screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6. It offers HDR 10 support. The color reproduction is satisfactory but still, it lags behind the vibrant colors offered by the AMOLED screens. It is somewhat disappointing, as several low-priced competitors (like Redmi Note 10) are offering AMOLED screens in this price range. Like the ancestor POCO X3, the Pro version sports a 120Hz refresh rate. It also offers a 240Hz touch sampling rate! You can enjoy a butter-smooth navigating experience by virtue of its high refresh rate option. Its touch response is awesome. In this phone, POCO provides 450 nits typical and 534 nits peak brightness. It maintains standards allowing you to work outdoor conveniently. But we have seen similar specs in X3. An updated brightness level could make X3 Pro a better deal! In the Pro version, people will definitely expect some advanced features. Compared with its ancestor X3 NFC, the X3 Pro doesn’t offer major up-gradations in the display section. But still, the large display can be helpful for watching media or participating in virtual class/meetings.

Certainly, it is a downgrade from POCO X3’s 64MP wide and 13MP ultra-wide sensors. On the front side of X3 Pro, there is a 20MP selfie shooter. The main rear camera features a 48MP IMX 582 sensor with an aperture of f/1.8. In ample daylight condition, you can capture mind-blowing photos with enough details, close-to-natural color, and a nice dynamic range. Its low-light images also maintain a standard quality. In the shadow areas of the image, the objects may lose some details and color-contrast may increase. But still, the photos look attractive. Its 8MP ultra-wide camera offers 119 degrees of field-of-view with an aperture of f/2.2. This sensor can take pretty photos maintaining dynamic range, details, and astonishing color vibration. However, in low light conditions, the image quality is comparatively poor. The rest two cameras both feature a 2MP sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. These sensors deliver average performance.

However, the provision of shooting options at 60fps could make this gadget more useful. In this phone, the GYRO EIS stabilization feature works effectively. X3 Pro offers a dual video mode option that means you can shoot videos with both front and back cameras at a time. Besides this, it has a Time Lapse video option which can be helpful for Vloggers. The front camera features a 20MP sensor with an aperture of f/2.2. This camera is built with Samsung ISOCELL plus S5K3T2 sensor. In presence of proper lights, this sensor can capture good photos with proper edge detection and color punches. The color tones are close to natural. You can also apply beauty mode to smoothen the skin tones. However, the quality of images may reduce a bit in low-light situations. Still, the images are social media-ready and eye-catching. With the front camera, you can capture 1080pfootage at 30fps.  Read OPPO F19 Pro Review with Price in Bangladesh Performance: Software and Hardware POCO X3 Pro has been globally launched in three variants; those are 6/128 GB, 8/128 GB, and 8/256GB.
