Reviews for the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC
With the Poco X3, Xiaomi showers us with specs: a 120-Hz display, a Snapdragon 732G, up to 128 GB of UFS storage, a huge battery, and all that for less than 230 Euros (~$272). So why spend more?!

The Poco X3 NFC is gaming-oriented mid-range device from the Xiaomi-owned brand. As the name suggests, it comes with a NFC (near field communication) module that allows contactless payments and similar applications, but the X3 NFC has a lot more to offer, especially when considering its aggressive price point. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 732G chipset and features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate as well as a massive 5160 mAh battery with fast-charging capabilities. In the camera department, a 64 MP primary camera is coupled with a 13 MP ultra-wide. A 2 MP macro cam and a depth sensor for bokeh simulation complete the camera array. Let’s see how the combo performs in our DXOMARK Camera tests.

The Poco X3 is a much friendlier and nicer to use phone day in, day out, than that one was. It's also faster and smoother, so comparatively the only thing it loses at is the rear end - both the way it looks, and the fact that it's plastic. We're comparing to that Redmi because we consider the new Redmi Note 10 Pro with its 108 MP main camera and high refresh rate OLED screen to be playing in a different league (including price-wise), although if we will decide to long-term review that one, we're interested to see how the Snapdragon 732G will feel in a Redmi compared to this Poco, if at all different.

Six months later, POCO X3 NFC remains a competitive phone and a recommended buy in 2021, especially for the top model with 6/128GB. However, it's now facing competition from its siblings, particularly POCO X3 Pro with better processing power and Redmi Note 10 Pro with a better camera and display. It may be a no-brainer pick when it launched, but the arrival of newer phones finally gives buyers other options.

It may not be much of a looker, but the Poco X3 NFC sure is an over-achiever. Offering class-leading performance, great stamina, and a silky 120Hz display for a scarcely believable price, it’s one of the smartphone bargains of the year.

Overall, the user experience is great, it has a nice premium touch and we get an immersive gaming experience with ease. 120Hz is pleasing to the eye. It has tons of camera features and the camera quality surpassed some phones within the price range and even higher midrange. It’s just a bit heavier and bulkier but I guess at the end of the day, that is why we have flagship phones to feel the overall feeling of having a premium smartphone. We can say that this phone is the best Midrange King but 2020 isn’t over yet. Right now the Poco X3 NFC has the title of a Budget Midrange King.

The device’s score as a recording device, while average, still lifts it above several more expensive models. Its timbre performance was average but consistent across the use cases. The Poco X3 NFC did a good job of recording loudness when using the memo app. It also produced fairly clean recordings, with few artifacts. On the negative side, the SNR was below average — background was overly present and unnatural-sounding because it was so midrange-focused. The dynamics performance was also slightly sub-par, with below-average envelope and spatial scores.

In fact, I think for the price of RM899 for the base model and RM1099 for the top spec, this phone gets As across the board. Even the issues I had with it, I don’t think are deal-breaking, and I think they stand out mostly because of how good everything else was.

Barring the bulky design, it is really very hard to find faults in the Poco X3. However, the chunky design in itself is a very big negative that could end up giving a lot of consumers a buyer's remorse. The bold rear design could also deter a lot of consumers from the device especially if they want a phone with a sleek and understated design.

POCO's first phone, the POCOPhone F1, was once crowned as the new flagship killer. The POCO F2 Pro continued the title run, and now with the POCO X3 NFC, we have the latest mid-range killer in the smartphone market. Going for as low as RM899 with those kinds of tech specs and features? It's an instant kill for other similar devices.

The Poco X3 packs in strong specs, an excellent camera, a beautiful display, and absolutely fantastic battery life. Getting all of that for just £199 makes the Poco X3 a shoo-in for the best budget phone of 2020.

When reviewing a smartphone, I’m always looking for unique features that set one device apart from another. That’s typically hard to find when looking at budget devices, but for the Poco X3 NFC that main selling point is that you’re getting a fantastic mid-range device for half the price.

The Poco X3 is a completely perfect smartphone with no flaws. Of course, you can say that a smartphone would be better because of the AMOLED screen, glass body, and better water resistance. But then the price tag would over $ 500. Therefore, as for the middle class, the X3 smartphone is one of the best modern, productive smartphones that I definitely recommend buying. On the positive side, I can attribute it to a high-quality screen with 120 Hz, good performance, a 64-megapixel camera, high battery life with support for fast charging, and much more.

For €229, the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC does a lot to help it stand out from the competition. Its weighty feeling in the hand and garish branding won’t be for everyone, though users will enjoy the excellent battery life and great screen. The in-OS ads aren't ideal but are reasonable given the price of the Poco X3 NFC. Overall, this is one of the best budget smartphones you can buy right now.

The Poco X3 NFC is an outstanding smartphone with a great specs sheet on a bargain price. It has the screen, power, camera, and battery to impress. There is no doubt it will sell well, and we see no reason why it shouldn't make it in your shopping shortlist.

POCO offers their fans a strong mid-range option in the sub-$300 price range, with some features that are even better than their flagship POCO F2 Pro, like the high refresh rate display, longer battery life and stereo loudspeakers. I would recommend the POCO X3 NFC as an excellent mid-range device for very little money.

The Poco X3 NFC is definitely not aiming for any flagship model position. However, given its specs, it's a great mid-range contender once we look from a price-to-performance perspective.

Where the Poco really appeals is with its asking price. In the UK, where we've got hold of this handset, the X3 NFC will retail for just £199 (€220/$260) from 17 September (on Amazon and Mi.com). Considering there's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor and 6GB RAM under the hood, that's a really low price point.

POCO’s new phone is a grand return to form for the brand, offering a fully-decked out mid-range smartphone with flagship features at an insane price that other brands can only dream of. Unless POCO does something weird with its optimizations or if the cameras really disappoint, the POCO X3 NFC looks to become THE mid-range champ for 2020.

The 128GB variant we reviewed here will set you back RM1099, but you can easily save some money and just get the 64GB variant which is offered at RM899, and throw in a microSD card if you think you will be using the camera extensively.
