    Pocax3 is excellent phone

      Just buyed poco x3 pro 256gb 8gb fully satisfied
      The only problem is speaker vibrates from back at full volume not a big problem with case applied
      No ghost touches on 256gb 8gb version pubg is 60fps. On hd extreme. Getting 5+ hours of play time
      I was going to buy 128gb but it has display issue
      You can compare both 128gb & 256gb side by side 128gb has always has black pixel around punch hole. While 256gb is completely round & fine
      I think the display issue is on 128gb version

        hollowmancr, 23 Nov 2021The X3 is fine AFAIK, the X3 pro I don't know how they... moreNo problem with 8/256gb version. As I heard it have display from another company.

          an0n, 23 Nov 2021Are they that bad? I own poco x3 nfc, so far no issue at al... moreThe X3 is fine AFAIK, the X3 pro I don't know how they sourced the display but it is a mess. I ended up refunding my phone from how bad the issue got and POCO support wouldn't resolve it. Got lead on for 4 months before I got fed up.

                  Black Week is awesome if you need a new phone. I have seen great prices on Xperia 10.3, Realme Master, Nord CE, A52s, Edge 20 etc.

                    AnonD-994853, 23 Nov 2021Nah, still 4g. And the 5G version is too expensive The prices vary a lot by region.
                    where I live I can get my hands on the Galaxy A52s for about $380 to $405 depending on the retailer which isn't a lot if you compare it to the Western and Asian market (India)

                            The X3 Pro shouldn't ever be mentioned in any top phones list. It is a broken mess that constantly suffers from Ghost touches. If POCO's QA was half-decent then this would have been a hit.

                              At this price range, i would recommend =

                              1. Oneplus Nord 2 (overall, flagship chip, 65w charging, and OIS)
                              2. Poco F3 (performance, and screen)
                              3. Redmi Note 10 Pro (if you can't afford more than $300)
                              4. Realme GT series are excellent if u are looking for performance and fast charging)
