Display

Scrolling is extremely fluid on the Poco X3, as the phone can display up to 120 frames per second. This refresh rate automatically adjusts to minimize power consumption and optimize saving so that your phone is operational at any point of your day. As such, the 120Hz refresh rate lets you operate the phone smoothly whether you are playing a demanding game or just scrolling through your social media apps. When gaming, a 240Hz ultra-high touch sampling rate reacts instantly to your finger movements with feedback speeds as quick as 4.16ms. In addition, the phone’s linear motor creates accurate 4D vibrations that turn your phone into a controller for a fully interactive experience. 

Camera

In terms of photographic capability, the creative possibilities are endless with the Poco X3’s four primary lenses: a 64MP Sony IMX 682 main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera. In addition, the 20MP AI selfie camera on the front of the phone creates detailed portraits with a built-in bokeh effect. For filmmakers and vloggers, Video Pro mode features an AE/AF Lock, Focus Peaking, Smooth Video Zoom and Exposure Verification.

Battery

Powering all of this is a large 5160mAh battery, which allows for 10 hours of gaming, 17 hours of video, and 153 hours of music on a single charge. A 0-100% charge takes about an hour with the 33W fast charger.
