BGR Rating : 4.0/5
Poco F1, the company’s former flagship phone managed to outvie some of the leading brands’ premium devices back in 2018. Two years forward, the Xiaomi sub-brand made two back-to-back announcements (with a few months gap) showcasing the Poco X2 and Poco X3 smartphones.

Poco took off in 2018 with the launch of Poco F1, a smartphone that brought powerful performance at a tight budget, without compromising on other specifications. It is known for that smartphone even after two years. While there are very few devices that become as popular as the Poco F1, the smartphone maker would like to add more achievements to its CV. The recently launched Poco X3 Pro is an attempt in that direction. Poco promised that the X3 Pro will be a successor to the cult Poco F1.
The phone starts at a price of Rs 18,999.
The Poco X3 Pro has scored 540329 points on AnTuTu.
Poco s been really busy in the smartphone market this year. The phone maker has launched a number of new phones, with the latest on the list the Poco X3 Pro. This is a more powerful variant of the Poco X3 which was launched earlier last year. While very much like the Poco X3, the all-new Poco X3 Pro is a strange beast. Launched at a starting price of Rs 18,999 it comes fighting against popular offering from both Realme and Xiaomi. To be specific, we re talking about the Realme 8 Pro and Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. Both of these are phones that are in the same price bracket as the new Poco phone. This price point also puts it within touching distance of the powerful Mi 10i at the higher and Narzo 30 Pro at the lower end of the price spectrum.

Fans have been demanding a Poco F1 successor for over two years now. They have finally got one, but with a different name.
