Poco X3 NFC review

15 September 2020


Sort by:

And I forgot to add:
Software workaround solutions can't ever appear for ghosting because that's slow pixel response time of some LCD panel and it's hardware limitation that can't be fixed with software. So please don't write something that's not true.

    Poco x3 was 5g phone

I know that cheap phones must have compromises but I would rather have little bit worse CPU or little bit worse camera than ghosting display which I have to look at every day and it would drive me crazy.

          MichaelD, 16 Sep 2020If you ordered Poco X3 only because of refresh rate then de... moreGhosting issue is minor. Doesn't take away from user experience.
          Software workaround solutions will appear.

          VERDICT :

          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.

            Anonymous, 15 Sep 2020lol, why? the review is very good on this phoneBecause the screen has so many problems, it's one of the lowest quality screens used making those 120Hz almost useless plus the software is trash and full of ads everywhere. No thanks. I don't want to waste money on junk. I prefer to add a bit more and buy something better.

              AlexRivas, 16 Sep 2020Sorry guys for the question, I really don't know haha ... moreUnfortunately it can't. It's pixel response time and it's something that can't be altered at all with software.

                Yogart, 16 Sep 2020I am in the same boat as you , I have ordered on the 9th fr... moreIf you ordered Poco X3 only because of refresh rate then definitely cancel the order because you won't be happy with Poco X3 high refresh rate because of great amount of ghosting.

                  if im poorr i would choose this phone.

                  but for better upgrade i go for long term for poco f2 pro.

                  incase poco f3 pro out next year or any year in future i wont upgrade.

                  i will use it for 9 years until the phone reach the death point. it serve me well.

                    Starfkrost, 16 Sep 2020Impressive camera? Oh, really? Unimpressively sweet review.... moreComment not fair. It's been judged for this price range, nothing complicated. And Mi 9T is june 2019 that's more like 1 year actually.

                      Sorry guys for the question, I really don't know haha
                      the ghosting can't be fixed by a software update?

                        s-pen pusher, 16 Sep 2020it has been a week now and my order has not been delivered.... moreI am in the same boat as you , I have ordered on the 9th from Spain AliExpress but not even shipped yet , some people who have ordered on the 10th have got there's .

                        I have a mi 9t pro , so only wanted to get this phone because of the refresh rate but now having second thoughts.

                          it has been a week now and my order has not been delivered. pre-ordered it 08/09/2020 (it became available the following day 09/09/2020) from their global page and already paid for. there is progress in shipping, but each day as more and more reviews become available i am more inclined to cancelling the order instead. i have the legendary pocophone f1 and the poco x2 and i have been satisfied with them so far. i skipped the f2 pro because i was thinking they were just keep rebranding redmi devices, so what really compelled me to order this x3 is the fact that it is not a rebranded redmi. i was worried when i first saw from mrwhosetheboss regarding ads, as both f1 and x2 had ads turned off by default; then this ghosting mentioned by gsmarena. i also have read about some games optimized for 120Hz refresh rate not allowing the phone to utilize it. i ordered the 6GB/128GB variant for about USD237 (PHP11,000.00) cobalt blue. can i ask for your suggestions if should proceed with the order or should i cancel it instead while still undelivered.

                            Impressive camera? Oh, really? Unimpressively sweet review. How can a phone with 1.5 useful cameras be called great in 2020? Same goes for other vendors smartphones - Realme etc. Wide, ultrawide, tele camera - that`s what can be called good setup. Even Xiaomi Mi 9T had that two years ago.

                              I've used many xperia flagships in the past and all have backlightlight issues. It is LCD problem. No LCD can have perfectly even backlight around cutout.
