Apart from that, we note in particular that the panel offers an LCD display with a diagonal of 6.67 inches at a 20:9 ratio and for a definition of 2400 x 1080 pixels. You should also know that Xiaomi is inaugurating the new mid-range chip from Qualcomm: the Snapdragon 732G which, as indicated by the letter after the three digits, is optimized for video games. The SoC is here associated with 6 GB of LPPDR4X RAM and UFS 2.1 storage space varying from 64 to 128 GB depending on the version chosen.

For the photo part, here’s what to remember about the quadruple sensor at the rear:

  • 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera, 119 degrees, (f/2.2).
  • 2 megapixel depth sensor (f/2.4).
  • sensor with 2 megapixel macro lens (f/2.4).

Up front, the Poco X3 relies on a 20-megapixel (f/2.2) photo sensor to take care of selfies. The phone has a huge 5,160 mAh battery that will have the heavy task of not running out too quickly against the 120 Hz mode. Accordingly, be prepared for a heavy weight of 215 grams for dimensions of 163.3 x 76.8 x 9.4 mm. In addition, a 33W charger comes in the box of the smartphone which is powered by the MIUI 11 interface running Android 10.
