I've been using this device for a long, long time. It's been heated, dropped, and crushed mercilessly. I also recently smashed it in a fit of rage and bought a 16 pro. But 3 months have passed and I'm starting to miss my precious phone, so I gave it a new display, frame, and case. We're together again.

      My daily driver for 2 years. So far, excellent. I am a heavy chatter, video and content consumer. No gaming. Excellent battery. Paid 170 euros. That's an amazing price to performance.

        after abusing it for 3 years, playing lots of games with emulation and high temperature, flashing lots of custom ROMs and kernels, the phone finally died while i was dwelling in social media app, the battery was surprisingly in well condition, but i had weird blue pixels around selfie camera, this phone was a beast for it's price, it would be perfect if it wasn't for motherboard problem, i bought a new x6pro but I'm not happy with it, i miss my old x3pro.

            I was using this phone since several months.
            I di not know , how i succed to it so long.

            You press to stop a video and it does not stop.
            You want to pause something, to switch something but the screen is not accepting any commands.
            Just stick to premium producer

              I'm finally going to upgrade to the S24 Ultra but for the price I paid for the Poco X3 Pro almost 2 and a half years ago and the way it had endured my ruthless kind of phone usage in this timeframe, I can't complain. probably would have kept using it as the main phone for a longer time had it not stopped getting software updates from almost a year ago and had I not encountered screen issues lately.

                Still working after 2,5 years, had a few rebooting issues, but,all in all, for that price, can't ask for more.
                One thing is interesting: I can't update MIUI or Android through OTA nor via USB, currently having SJUEUXM package.

                      Motherboard problem, Poco died after 2,5 years. It's a great phone if not for the motherboard problems.

                              Amazing phone, I've had it since april 2021, with the calculation i would have to get a new phone after two years. At first it had some ghosting issues and wasnt very reliable, but after a few patches this was all solved, and the last two years the phone has been outstanding. Still very quick and the battery can easily get me through the day. For sure the best phone i had. I'm still not looking to change my phone, and guess I'll wait untill this random crash everyone is talking about happens to my device :)

                                  Bought it on October 2021. Used it mainly for games. Sadly, it started glitching (gray screen), stuck on reboot, and I can’t use it anymore.

Since majority of us have nice working X3 pro after 2 years, that is still very low percentage.

                                      And BTW, warranty from the manufacturer is 2 years, why aren't people with defective motherboards doing RTMs? Oh, because they bought them from aliexpress from 4th party reseller and they don't have warranty. Just to save 20-30$....

                                        It worked until this morning, there is a (i do not know how to say) factory defect with CPU and motherboard. Just make data backup from time to time just im case. I learned this hard way.
