Introduction
Poco spiked into popularity with the success of Poco F1 in 2018 launched as a true flagship killer against the OnePlus 6. Since then, there have been several Poco devices that may or may not have attracted the masses. But with the Poco X3 Pro, things are now different.

The sub-20k smartphone brings a lot of pros including a 120Hz display, a Snapdragon 860 processor among others. It does make some compromises here and there but to be honest, you are paying 1/3rd of what you would pay for a flagship phone so that shouldn’t be a problem.

Sub-Rs 20K price tag all while injecting a powerful processor and other specifications and it has not failed. The Snapdragon 860 SoC is unlike any in this price segment and it is powerful. Paired with UFS 3.1 storage, the device is almost unstoppable. It is well-designed although the cameras are something that I cannot call a strong suit on Poco X3 Pro because it is decent and average.
The device does get many things right but makes compromises too including a slower 33W charging, bulky at 216 grams. On the flip side, if your priorities are flagship-grade performance in a budget phone, an all-day battery life, and an awesome display, Poco X3 Pro is the way to go.
