I'm using since January 2021. Not facing any kind of issue. No lag no overheating, no major bugs, decent cameras, battery life and charging speed is very good. Everything is working fine. Keep the price in mind. Some people complain about LCD panel, but they are not looking the price how much can you get in 250 USD. And the LCD of poco x3 is not bad, it is one of best in low midrange segment. I played games 3-5 hours daily mostly PUBG COD and A9. Not facing overheating. So plz stop complaining, better buy flagship models of samsung and apple if you are expecting flagship performance. In that price you can buy poco x3 for whole family... Stop misleading others.

    There are in fact people, that need NFC much more than they need 120hz display.
    120Hz display is a kinda of a gimmick, honestly, while NFC is an actually useful, even necessary feature.
    If every phone had NFC, just like every phone has Bluetooth - one wouldn't need to mention it. But unfortunately, it isn't the case.

      Why don't you drop your phone sideways to realize that the frame is made out of aluminum and not plastic as the reviewer mentioned in his review? It is aluminum and only morons can't distinguish aluminum from plastic.

          I have this phon for 3 months, there is some bugs in camera when you want change to ultrawide in pro setting

            Bought this phone to use as a cheap backup for the gym/work. Seemed a decent phone, smooth software, good cameras and great battery but I simply could not stand the ghosting. Most of my use is scrolling through text and while in motion all text just bleeds into an unreadable blur. Swapped it for a Moto 5g and much prefer the screen and more stock android software.

              How is this long-term review, not any different from day one review.🙄 Though you mentioned the X3 pro and F3, which came out later, are the only contenders to the X3 despite the price difference. Quite difficult to choose among the three if budget can be stretched to the F3. The X3 Pro is better for gaming but might not matter?

                you got to assign a better reviewer for a phone that is a sales monster in this price range.
                1. Introduction - good point on the 120Hz at this price but there's more than that like huge battery,etc.
                2. Design - Glass is the worst material for back of a smartphone! It has the bad properties of other materials combined into one. It scratches as bad, slippery, smudges, poor thermal, worst durability, always needs a case which adds cost and dumbest idea.
                The free case has a flap because you cannot charge the phone when the port is wet even if its water resistant. With a large battery, most would be charging this every two days. Besides, the case is only useful for people who wants a perfect back after years of use.

                  Anonymous, 09 May 2021I think you should just remove "well" in you sent... moreLmao if its not working, gsmarena will tell you, they aready using phone with more than 120hz refresh rate and they cant tell?

                    I'm also using Poco X3 NFC, I'm quite sure it's reception is weaker than Samsung galaxy mobiles. There is no 120 Hz screen. Sound quality is better.

                              GSMArena, you mention that the PCOC X3 NFC has a plastic frame in this long term review, but I'm pretty sure it's aluminum. It's the POCO X3 (Indian version) that has the plastic frame. At least that's what you say on your website, so I find this confusing.

                                Irfan, 07 May 2021But actually, 120hz don't work well with SD732g proces... moreI think you should just remove "well" in you sentence cuz it's really not working. Theres no 120hz. Just a setting, but nothing actually happened when you change it. The funny thing is, most people think they got 120fps cuz they saw "120fps" written on the top-left of their phone's screen. But when you scroll, you can actually count the frame using your finger lmfao

                                    Honestly I think the gsmarena team forgot about the pixel 4a when they made this review

                                        Cr4pple Sux0rs, 08 May 2021Does Gcam add OIS on the camera? Nope. Good luck holding it... moreGcam footage is actually more stable because of better EIS implementation.
                                        Last time I checked, There was an option for super smooth mode inside the app.
