Poco X3

 Hello guys, back with me, I'm so enthusiasic this time cause the Poco brand is back with it's newest phone It's a smartphone priced around 3 million rupiahs but with awesome specs One more thing, this is not a rebranded phone from another brand (Xiaomi), so it should be pretty good Curious how awesome it's gonna be? Let's get straight to the content! Yes! The Poco X3 NFC! I bought this phone from Shopee Singapore for 299 SGD and this is the early bird price, the normal price will be 329 SGD the price is for the 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage varian. Or equivalent to around 3,3 million rupiahs The phone also comes in another varian which is the 6GB/128GB storage The box is similar with the Poco F2 Pro in black and yellow On the right and left side there is "Poco X3 NFC" and "with easy access, so on" written on it. I bought the phone in Cobalt Blue color and it also comes in the color Shadow Grey. Once we open the box, we will be welcomed by a yellow envelope with the sim ejector, guide book, warranty card and clear case inside.

         The case itself is quite elastic Below, we get the USB type A to type C charging cable and the charging adaptor with 33 watts fast charging. Moving on to the phone itself, as usual, there are informations about the chipset, battery, camera, etc. We will talk about this in detail later. Let's just open the plastic now. First Impression My first impression when I hold this phone is that it's quite thick and bulky. the thickness is about 9,4 mm Quite natural considering the large battery. and if we take a look, I'm not quite used to the big Poco logo at the back side, I think it's a bit tacky, but give it some time and I might get used to it but I quite like the rainbow hologram effect when I move the phone around, it's pretty cool. The phone comes with a 6,67 inches LCD screen, full HD plus, dot display. The screen is coated with Gorilla Glass 5 and the back side in made from plastic. The frame is made from aluminium. and it comes with a pre-installed screen protector On the right side of the phone, there's a power button cum finger print censor, above it is the volume button. And on the left side is the sim card slot, which is a dual sim card hybrid. This means you can choose to have a second sim or a micro SD card On the top side is an IR blaster, mic, and what appears to be a speaker. On the bottom side is the 3.5mm headphone pack, USB-C port, mic, and stereo speaker. We will test the sound quality later. As you can see here, the camera bump is quite thich, maybe around 2mm. One more thing, the phone is already IP53 certified, protected against dust and water spray. Specification Next, let's move on to this phone's specifications. 

        This phone is equipted with the latest Snapdragon chipset: the 732G Poco X3 is the first phone equipted with this chipset. The battery capacity is 5160 mAh with 33 watts fast charger. Poco claims the phone can be charged to 62% in 30 minutes and fully charged in 65 minutes. Wow, quite fast! the RAM is 6GB LPDDR4x 64GB and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage It's also equipted with Liquidcool Tech 1.0 Plus and as the name suggest, it also equipted with NFC. Once I turn on the phone, I'm greeted by the MIUI 12, and the occupied storage is 19.7 GB. The interesting part is, the 120 Hz refresh rate is already activated by default. and the scrolling experience is so smooth using the 120Hz refresh rate. I have a similar experience as when I'm using the Mi10 Ultra. The AnTuTu benchmark score is 280,287 and the Geekbench score is 571 for single core and 1,770 for multi core A pretty good score for a phone in this price range. For Gcam lovers, I've checked the Camera 2 API is level 3. I have a favourite feature in this phone, which is the LED notification. What make it nice? As you can see here, they place the LED light among the speaker. So cool! It's a bit small but I really like it since it's so unique. The stereo speaker is pretty nice. It's not the best one out there, but compared to mono speaker, the sound quality is already nice to listen to. The fingerprint scanner is pretty standard, not the fastest, have a look here. I've tried playing PUBG with this phone for the gaming test. The highest graphic setting can be set to HD You can set the frame rate to ultra if you set the graphic setting to smooth or balanced. For the smooth - ultra settings, I didn't encounter any problem during gameplay I played for 15 minutes, so far so good. So the Snapdragon 732G chipset is quite a good one and you should consider it.

         Camera Specification Next is the camera For the camera spesification, it has a 64MP main camera with Sony IMX682 lens, it's also equipted with 13MP, 119 degrees, Ultrawide lens, 2MP macro lens, 2MP depth lens, and 20MP front camera Unfortunatelly, this phone does not have an OIS in its cameras. Camera App What are the features in the camera app? It has a Pro mode and the Pro mode is not only for taking a photo, but also for video, nice! The video settings can be set to maximum of 4K 30 FPS. and for the front camera, the highest video setting is 1080P 30 FPS. the video also comes with a macro mode. For the Photo mode, it has AI, HDR, filter/beauty, Google Lens and Macro mode. It also have portrait and more There's a lot of features in the More option. Such as Front and Back, Clone, SlowMo and Timelapse. The phone also has a Night Mode! Cool! Photo and Video Samples Yo guys, this is the video taken with rear main camera. I think it's quite stable, the resolution is 1080P 30 FPS. This is the result of the front camera video. I think the shakiness is not too bad, only a little bit. and I think the mic quality is also pretty good.

         I'm surprised that all the photos came out pretty nice. I will save the night mode result for the next video. Conclusion Overall, I think the phone is pretty comprehensive. It's equipted with 120 Hz refresh rate, big battery capacity, wide screen and the newest Snapdragon 832G chipset it also comes with NFC sensor, so it's really comprehensive. But one that's lacking for me is there's no Optical Image Stabilization in this phone. Since I personally like to take videos using smartphone, without OIS, the video is rather shaky. But if I look at the price tag, I'll just close my eyes (ignoring this flaw). The next question is, will it be released in Indonesia? I dare to say, it will be released in Indonesia, but when? I don't have the answer. You can try to DM Alvin Tse's Instagram Don't DM the Geeky Youtuber, remember, it's a different person, different fate, only look alike, heehee... That's all for the video. Please let me know if there's anything else you want to know, I'm going to talk about it in the review video.
