Specifications of the Poco X3

Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor, Poco X3 is in fact the first smartphone in the world to come packed with the said processor, claims POCO. The company claims that the SD 732G is much better than SD 730G and 720G. 

The phone features a 6.67-inch full-HD+ (1,080×2,340 pixels) display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is impressive for a mid-range price bracket. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and powered by a 6000 mAh battery, compared to Poco X2’s 4500 mAh. 

However, Poco X3 has kept hold of the Adreno 618 GPU chip from its previous version. 

Coming to the camera specifications, the smartphone boasts of a quad rear camera setup with a 

64 MP Sony IMX 682 sensor, which has a huge sensor size and 1.6 microns 4-in-1 Super Pixel. There is a 119-degree ultra-wide-angle 13MP camera alongside a 2 MP Telemacro camera and a 2MP depth sensor.   

The Poco X3 is geared with a 20MP in-screen selfie camera with AI portrait mode.  

The on-board storage is expandable via microSD card (up to 256GB). Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, GPS/ A-GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port for charging.
