Ronnie, 08 Feb 2023I think the same. POCO X3 Pro is better it is a great phone... moreYes, but it's a gambling.
X3 pro have a sandwich ram and SoC, the ram is in between the SoC and motherboard, if you lucky enough it won't dead, but if you aren't lucky enough, you need to re-ball the ram and SoC cause of overheating

    Today only realised that it has only Wi-Fi 5, max speed is 433mbps. Wasted for my internet packages of 1Gbps.

            Is this good for gaming? Pls answer.

              Can it install armv8a apps? Till now I purchased smartphone which I could find at a good price, whenever I needed to install an apk file which required armv8a os (yes not only CPU, but also OS has this architecture thing, I have a capable processor, but the OS only lets me install 32bit apps), the file never got installed.. I wanna purchase NEXT phone now, will it be able to fulfill my need?

              I pathetically need it because Instander stopped supporting armv7a devices completely 😭😭 please help me, I want to know if this phone is worth or not!

                What about software...Is it still good after updates???

                  Poco x5 doesn't have stereo speakers but the specs on GsmArena say otherwise. Same with Redmi Note 12s.
                  An update will be much appreciated

                    So far good phone. The 695 is a little improvement over my broken POCO X3 NFC. I missed so much using an OLED panel and was looking to upgrade to a 5G phone. I'm a little concerned about the virtual proximity sensor, haven't testest it yet.

POCO X3 Pro is better it is a great phone with better microprocessor. Was sell a lot but now you can't find it. I can't understand that behavior from POCO. And now the are selling that phone, X5 Pro. ????

                                  Poco had the selling point of a flagship processor in a plastic shell but now it doesn't have that selling point. My X3 Pro with a Snapdragon 860 is probabaly better than that processor in this model. They should have used a 888 or Gen 1 processor to really make it stand out.

                                    Can't see any reason for this phone when the X4 Pro with the same chipset has a better main camera and GG5. Also, with the X4 Pro being last year's model, you can get one at a discounted price.
