I have the Poco X3 NFC and it is a good phone, but my problem now is that my Cricket Wireless provider with the changes for 2022 has already informed me that my phone is no longer compatible according to the IMEI of my Poco. I will have to sell it to buy another Cricket Wireless compatible unit

      "the security patch level of the phone will probably always be older than you might be comfortable with"

      Got April security patch about a 1-2 weeks back with miui 12.0.10.0

        " If you don't mind getting nighttime shots that aren't the best in this price class, and are mainly happy to shoot during the day"

        Gcam makes a huge difference in night time photos.
        Stable gcam available with most of the functions working.
        For example gcam gives wider FOV in Ultrawide angle images compared to stock cam.

        Also, the battery life may not be good in 120hz on the NFC variant which is 5000mAh as opposed to 6000mAh on Indian Variant.

                      I have it since his launch in early September 2020.
                      Still working like a charm. Snapdragon 732G is performant, camera has his flaws, weight is a negative aspect, same goes for rear design.
                      I like his fast charging, 120hz is good, multi-tasking also. I just regret that it hasn’t usb type c 3.0 because i cannot connect to TV or monitor via usb-c/hdmi port.

                                  And now since February it's flash light doesn't work

                                    The Poco X3 NFC is called Poco X3 NFC even though it should probably have been named Poco X3 120Hz. - agreed. Xiaomi seems to be behind when it comes to marketing, Oppo and Vivo are very good with their marketing.

                                        I have the NFC and I am very impressed with it for the price. Any phone has a fault if you look for it. The screen is awesome and the battery lasts forever.

                                        Great buy if you actually just need a phone. Need a the best camera, you will need to pay for the best, if you need a gaming machine you will pay for the best gaming machine. This is what it is at the price point.

                                        I am not disappointed and getting a lot more than I expected.
