In this way, not only MIUI or Android version, but also your applications will always be up to date. Open the app, choose your device, choose the stable ROM, and then choose the region you want to download. All Xiaomi phones come with MIUI’s built-in updater app and with this app we can either wait for the updates to arrive to our phone or we can manually apply updates.
In front, of course, the smartphone is nothing special – a classic. The top indent is slightly thicker than the side ones, the bottom, traditionally, is even thicker. The X3 Pro has a 3.5mm jack, IR blaster, stereo sound, and IP53 dust and water resistance. Xiaomi hasn’t missed out on any of the essentials here, and that makes the phone a great overall package. The phone has Wi-Fi ac connectivity, and like the regular X3, the X3 Pro misses out on NFC in India.
- The POCO X3 Pro misses out on very little when compared to mid-range smartphones that are near twice its price, and I’m excited to see what POCO comes out with next.
- There’s also a LED notification light, surely a rarity these days.
- POCO X4 Pro can reach a very high brightness value of 1200 nits and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
- Things can sometimes look deeper gray rather than black.
- We have shared the official PocoPhone X3 Pro Stock ROM Firmware (Flash File) on this page.
That and the 240Hz touch sampling rate ensures a rather fluid gaming experience. There really isn’t much to write home about when it comes to the camera setup on the Poco X3 Pro. It looks identical to the odd-shaped bump at the back of the Poco X3 NFC, but there are some minor tweaks here and there. It doesn’t get as bright as many of its contemporaries, but you shouldn’t have any major legibility issues in bright sunlight. There is a very minor color cast at lower brightness levels, but it’s hard to notice unless you’re in a very dark room. Light bleed in the corners is visible when viewing deep colored Stock Firmware images or UI portions, which is noticeable and could be a major pain point for you.
In fact, Poco X3 doesn’t have the option for regular call recording either but that can be added with an OTA update. Post the Android 9 Pie update, third-party apps are utterly useless in this regard. The fingerprint reader is on the side and it’s as snappy and reliable as we’d want it to be. The volume rocker above it isn’t as easily accessible, but we can still reach it out with fair ease. The display has a centrally-aligned notch and the bezels surrounding it are quite slim.
- If you need a lot of grunt in your daily use, the POCO X3 Pro is perhaps the best option in the category.
- With dimensions of 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4 millimeters, it is even larger than the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and, at 215 grams, similarly heavy despite the plastic back.
- For selfie photos, the Poco M5 makes use of a modest 5-megapixel sensor with an f/2.2 aperture.
- Like the standard X3, the X3 Pro lacks 4K video at 60fps, with the option limited to 1080p.
The frequency itself is dynamic and can vary depending on the task. The smartphone can automatically set 50, 60, 90 or 120 Hz depending on the running apps and user interaction. Specifications like these imply that we have a pretty good screen. The brightness is almost always enough, but the auto brightness does not work quite correctly and often you have to move the slider manually. Viewing angles are typical for IPS, and the picture doesn’t not get distorted.
