POCO X3 Pro is making more talk of itself than OnePlus 9. We could not expect anything less from a company based in India, where thehype for high-end products it is at stellar levels. Of him up to poco ago we knew well poco, just the processor, but nothing confirmed. But today from Vietnam come the complete specifications with lots of prices, which confirm the hypotheses we have been making for days. However, there is something that we cannot digest and it concerns precisely the processor. We tell you everything below, but be careful.
Full specifications and prices of POCO X3 Pro are now known a few days after launch, but there is something that does not add up to us. How about?
A well-known Twitter leaker revealed that the official Xiaomi store in Vietnam has already put the POCO X3 Pro, which is the next flagship device (maybe the only one, but maybe not) of the brand. All in all the specifications that are made known are in line with all the information we had available, even if the design disappoints us a little. It is a X3 NFC with slightly more powerful processor and with improved cameras. But no more chatting, let's see it.
The specifications in brief are below:
- processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 860
- cRAM / ROM configuration: 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB (UFS 3.1 type memory)
- : 6.67 ″ IPS with FHD + resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate
- rear cameras:
- main: 48 megapixels
- secondary: 8 megapixels
- macro: 2 megapixels
- depth: 2 megapixels
- OS: Android 10, probably Android 11 will arrive with the first updates
- Battery and recharge: 5160 mAh with maximum 33W charging
- price: Approximately € 250
So far so good, but now we expose the doubt we have. Going to look at the features on the Qualcomm official website, we noticed an oddity. Looking for the processor in question, namely the Snapdragon 860, we noticed that this is found in the same frame as Snapdragon 855+.
This only means one thing: it Snapdragon 855+ is the same as the Snapdragon 860. Different names but same substance, same architecture and same everything. So for what reason POCO X3 Pro Does it come with this SoC and not the "previous" one? Perhaps the rib company of Xiaomi wanted an exclusive and for this moment he demanded that his name be changed? It may be a guess, but tell us yours in the comments section.
It could be the right phone to retire the mi9T in May, whose battery is starting to drop. I would have preferred a bigger screen, but you don't see any on the horizon anyway. If it is around € 300, good thing, we'll see.
But what "pretended", "exclusive" etc. is a processor that has been talked about for months and will also be mounted by Realme and many others.
By exclusive I mean the launch, as it was for the Snapdragon 888 on Xiaomi Mi 11. Probably not the most appropriate term, perhaps absolute preview would be better.
