why are people crying about the microsd card slot when it has 256gb lmao, unless you take pictures of everything you see (in that case you're dumb and you should just buy a camera) or download every game in the app store, you dont need more than 256 gigs of storage

Lots of vendors are seizing on this opportunity to scam people and price things based on a 1:1 exchange rate but now that the EUR is back to close to 1.1 USD, they're basically charging 10% more. A lot of people are getting rich during this inflation period and people get told lies about why things are expensive.

I also would have preferred to have SD card but midrange is about compromises, and SD card is one of those features that can be compromised, at least for me, especially if the trade off is a superb chipset.

Anuj, 09 May 2023Absolutely correct: A lot of POCO X3 & POCO X3 Pro Phon... moreIn addition, Poco does not honor their warranty if the phone died due to software update, if the phone has scratches or even a tiny dent.
Here in the Philippines, there were also a lot of dead motherboards in the Poco X3 models. The Poco M3 (and its twin model Redmi 9T) had a lot of dead boot issues (won’t turn on after phone is shut down or restarted). Most of these issues manifested after the 1 year warranty expired, and before the phones even reached 2 years old.
The Poco X5 is very tempting, but I’ll need at least 2 years warranty from Poco to risk that much money.

All the reviews I've seen are praising it. It isn't perfect, of course, but even in its weakest points it is decent (camera, plastic build). And its stronger points are absolutely awesome (performance, efficiency, screen).
I feel this will have a lot of demand once the word spreads and it will be quite difficult to get in a few months. It also might see price increases to the level of the F5 Pro.

spindeln, 10 May 2023only 10 seconds AOD? is it true?Yes it is true. Additionally, the touch sampling rate is 240 Hz, down from the 360 Hz of the Poco F4/F3. Seems like a downgrade in screen / panel tech.

Anonymous, 11 May 2023is this still worthy without the sd card slot? i'm afr... moreI still would love the SD card, but I can personally do without with a CHEAP 1tb model of a phone. That is literally the only way. I mean, go on Amazon and look up the price of M.2 1TB ssds. Not too expensive, right? Even if this doesn't compare with the price of making storage chips in phones, consumers like me would rather just have something like 256gb-512gb depending on value for internal storage in a phone ALONG with the option to add an SD card for media files like music and photos + video. The argument of loss of files due to a damaged phone can be mostly (depends if you make daily backups) solved if you make backups. I also however, can't argue that file management through USB on Android phones is SLOW and taking out the Micro SD and just backing up files straight from that to your computer is MUCH faster. However, I can personally wait that long if I am just copying a few files each time I make backups since I am not copying everything over at once every time. I cannot argue that SD file management is much faster though, and that is a fair argument that people can make.
However, this phone ONLY has 256gb as the MAX storage you can put IN this phone, period. This is why I am not interested in this phone at all and do not deem it 'worthy'.
