X3 NFC while it doesn't look particularly good, it's built strong.
The only issue was that I f***ked up the phone while trying to replace the battery myself.

This is the best phone I’ve ever had in my life since the Samsung Galaxy S6 in 2015. It’s curious how I became a Xiaomi fan, and here’s my story:
After using the Galaxy S6 from 2015 to 2017, the phone just wasn’t the same anymore. Update after update, and after trying to ‘overclock’ it, I really messed it up. It became buggy, slow, and started overheating. I had to send it to a repair shop, and even after that, it was barely usable. I remember one of the last days I used the S6 was during a vacation in Santa Marta, Colombia, over a long weekend because of the local Carnivals, from Saturday to Tuesday. Every time I see something about actor Bill Paxton, I’m reminded of that trip and my odyssey with the Galaxy S6. He was one of my favorite actors, and on that Saturday, my family and I found out about his passing on Twitter in 2017. That day was a very nostalgic moment for me.
That same weekend, my phone was being repaired, and I was upset because I couldn’t take the S6 with me to take pictures. It wasn’t ready in time. By the end of that week, I decided to sell it.
I then bought the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium because of its 4K screen, since I’ve always been a huge fan of high-definition and high-resolution displays. I was absolutely stunned by the 4K quality, especially when watching nature, sports, and movie videos. But then, about three weeks after getting the phone (not even a full month!), I was at my store when an independent delivery guy (a very close one) who had seen my phone earlier and was just as impressed, asked me to see it again. As I pulled the phone from my pocket, it slipped from my hand, I tried to catch it in the air, but ended up hitting it and making the fall even worse. It hit the counter hard and broke part of the glass, so unlucyky lol, we both tried to catch it but missed. When he picked it up, it was off, but looked fine externally. Everything seemed okay until I got home. While using it, it suddenly turned off, I turned it back on and continued using it in bed that afternoon, then fell asleep because I was a bit tired from work. When I woke up about two hours later, I found the phone under my elbow, and there it was: a thick crack running across the 4K screen, it looked like the phone was about to split in two. I felt so sad that I couldn’t even sleep that night. So, I had to buy a replacement screen, something I hated doing because it’s hard to find original parts and some of the original parts are not the same. Even though the phone was fixed, it never felt the same. I couldn’t enjoy it with the same energy or excitement, so I started looking for a new phone. That’s when I discovered Xiaomi. I read great reviews in every social media and websites, so I decided to get my first Xiaomi phone, the Redmi Note 5, released in 2018, the same year I bought it. I instantly fell in love with the brand, like love at first sight.
My Redmi Note 5 lasted from 2018 to 2021. It started lagging after the last update, and one of the speakers stopped working, so I upgraded to the POCO X3 in April 2021, right in the middle of the pandemic. I was so excited. From the moment I started using it, I noticed it was about 1000 times faster than my previous phones and more modern in every way. 4 years later, I’m still using the same beautiful phone, and it’s still the best phone I’ve ever had. The screen resolution and size still amaze me, it feels almost like a mini laptop every time I use it.
Fun fact: I still have my Sony Z5 Premium, and once I compared the screens using high-resolution videos. Surprisingly, the POCO X3 has better color accuracy and looks more lifelike, which is crazy.
Once again, this is truly the best phone I’ve ever had in my life!

Mindaugas, 18 Apr 2025Using this phone for 5 years now battery looks like pregnan... moreSo it wasn't just myself huh, but I was wondering is it supposed to happen or is Xiaomi using cheap battery?
Mine also got itself pregnant after a couple of years (2 or 3).
Still if you can find the battery online, you can replace it by yourself cheap.

The best long term smartphone i've had. I can't believe this phone could last this long, i bought this when it was released and i was expecting this phone to turn into a laggy mess after 3 years ( i was using a samsung galaxy A7 2017 before changing to this and that phone lagged when i tried to open whatsapp after the first year). The battery is now a bit bloated and the back plastic cover is full of scuffs and scratches but the essentials still works. I could play PUBG no problem though i mostly only got like 45 fps, the camera is still pretty good with a Gcam app, and the most important thing is that it never failed on me (unlike that samsung. Yes i genuinely hate samsung with their exynos chipset). Sure it has some "personality" but the phone just works. Last week the proximity sensor just died (literally can't get a read on it. Like it physically died or malfunctioned) and the auto brightness has also stopped working so im going to change to a Poco X7 Pro. Im just hoping that the new phone could surprise me just like how this Poco X3 NFC did.

I have been using it since December 2020, almost 4.5 years, have rarely seen such a robust mobile phone (maybe Nokia earlier).
Battery still very ok, only bugs have increased over the years, and it no longer receives updates.
But would like to switch from Xiaomi, wanted to give Xiaomi a chance with the Poco X3 NFC, that's enough, is too buggy for me on the road.
I'm looking at the Realme Neo 7 SE aka GT7T when it comes to Europe, the specs read very well for the price.

I am using It since 2020 and Its been about 5 years now, battery still very good but only in cold weather It drains faster. I use the 60Hz Display Always so the battery Last longer.
Basically from the Hardware Its very good for instance the Screen, battery, durability, speaker . I am totally satisfied for 250$. But Software after 5 years still have Bugs Like every other Xiaomi Phones or Tablets.

nfc, 26 Jan 2025Battery fails from using fast charge. I never used fast cha... moreCome on, the fast charger comes with the package and who doesn't use it once they are used of using it?
I doubt if it's caused by the fast charger, because I also had swollen battery back in days without using fast charger.

Anonymous, 28 Sep 2024Been using this device since 2020, and just noticed battery... moreBattery fails from using fast charge. I never used fast charger on my poco x3 nfc. Usually charging over night with regular 1 amp charger. Phone about 4 years old and still has no issues with battery (maybe a little capacity drop, which I think it's normal wear). Do not liked chinese bloatware with tons of ads preloaded, so I turned off any service from there.Overall poco is very good phone for it's price (180 € in 2021)

It was a good phone but battery got swollen after fewer than 3 yrs of usage.
Then I f*cked the device up while trying to replace battery on my own.

Been using it for 3 years. It's better than new phones in same price in my country.
I do factory reset after every update to avoid bugs and turn off unneeded features from settings to maximise battery & performance.
It's very durable as well. No screen cracks, fall damage, charging port issue, etc.
