According to speculation, the Poco X3 Pro will debut with the unannounced Snapdragon 860 chipset. This SoC is expected as a middle ground between the SD 855 and SD 865 SoC's of years past with all leaks pointing it to be a 4G-only platform.

In addition we're expecting the Poco X3 Pro to boast 6/128 GB and 8/256 GB memory configurations, a 120 Hz display and a 5,200 mAh battery with fast charging. Pricing in India is rumored to start at INR 21,000 or just under $290.
