Today finding the best mid-range and flagship models can be very hard, especially for Xiaomi brand fans, where the manufacturer keeps releasing many models at once. The Redmi 10 pro and the note Note 10 are some of the models that fall within the same price category as the Poco X3.

Poco x3 pro: The design
The manufacturer of the poco x3 is on its level in terms of design. The model weighs only 220 grams and 9.5 mm thick. However, an exciting feature that will capture your attention is its two vertical strips of brushed glass on the sides and a shiny strip in the center near the Logo. There are also charming reflections of the hull to the light: the text becomes multicolored depending on the angles. We also appreciate that this rear hood is not prone to fingerprints.
The photo module protrudes at the height of several millimeters but doesn’t interfere with the steadiness of the phone once placed at the back.
The smartphone’s dial is made of plastic, while the ear hood is made of hardened glass. On the side, we find volume buttons and also a controller integrated with a fingerprint sensor which is quite flashy designs.
On the lower part, there is a jack port and also a USB Type-C port. The speaker has been fitted perfectly to the right of the USB-c port.
A MEDIUM LCD SCREEN
The Poco X3 Pro features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD slab of 1080 by 2400 pixels. The poco x3 pro brings you with a refresh rate f up to 120 Hz to attain maximum comfort. However, it is 60hz at default, and the phone user should achieve the changes in the settings.

For KSh36,499 price range= powerful processor
Here we find Snapdragon 860 Qualcomm processor. However, the processor is only 4G as it lacks 5G support. For this price range, it is quite a comfort.
This processor works very well with games that require a very high rate of frames per second. for example, Fortnite. By disabling the FPS limit, you are guaranteed a better gaming experience but be warned that your phone will suffer from emitting a lot of heat.
