The other notable features of Poco X3 Pro include 4GLTE, VoLTE, Stereo speakers, USB-C port and VoWi-Fi. Sadly, it lacks 5G support. Built on MIUI 12, this carries the Poco interface built on Android 11.

Considering the incredible value of the Snapdragon 860 chipset, the Poco X3 Pro is a good buy. This is to be noted that this early bird price is till April 1. Clad in Phantom Black, Frost Blue and Metal Bronze colour options, the Poco X3 Pro is definitely a good buy.
Moreover, the company has even announced that there would be screen replacement for free of charge within 6 months.
As the Indian pricing is not revealed yet, Poco lovers need to wait until they get the official information. Though the camera seems to be degraded (from 64MP to 48MP), one can surely bet on its performance due to the Snapdragon 8 series.
