Releasing the new Snapdragon 732G

Despite not being a 5G mobile, the POCO X3 is the first mobile to release the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G. It is a mid-range processor with few changes compared to the 730G, although with improvements in performance according to Qualcomm. Specifically, with the same Adreno 618, we can obtain up to 15% more performance.

The POCO X3 has a huge battery of more than 5,000mAh with fast charging of 33W

This processor is accompanied by a base configuration of 6 + 64 GB of internal memory, being able to go up to 6 + 128 GB in the case of the most ambitious version. The battery is 5,160mAh with 33W fast charge, a fairly high figure for a mid-range. This POCO does not renounce the NFC, the infrared sensor and a fingerprint reader located on the right side of the terminal.

The 120 Hz screens arrive for the new Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple: an important leap that the industry had not decided to take

If we talk about the screen, we find a 6.67-inch LCD panel with FullHD + resolution and 120Hz refresh rate adaptive. This rate can range from 50, 60, 90, and 120Hz depending on the situation, which helps the battery not drain as quickly. This panel is coated with Gorilla Glass 5, one of the latest versions of the popular American brand. The POCO X3 thus becomes one of the mid-range mobiles with the highest refresh rate on the market.

Four cameras in one huge module and MIUI 12 on board

At the design level, the large rear module that the POCO X3 has is striking. This module houses four cameras, with a 64-megapixel main sensor and f / 1.79 aperture. The rest of the sensors are configured with an 8 megapixel ultra-wide angle and two secondary sensors: a 5 megapixel macro and a 2 megapixel depth sensor. The front camera is 20 megapixels and allows taking pictures with portrait mode.

At the software level we have Android 10, MIUI 12 and POCO Launcher 2.0, the company’s custom launcher for POCOs. Small improvements that run on top of MIUI 12 are thus promised, mainly focused on performance.
