Much along expected lines, the Poco X3 has been launched in India today. The phone with its starting price of Rs. 16,999 comes across as a solid option in the mid-range segment and offers a number of improvements compared to its predecessor.
Poco X3 specifications:
The Poco X3 comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ display having a 20:9 aspect ratio. However, the biggest feature of the display is its dynamic 120 Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate that puts it in the league of flagship phones of the likes of the Galaxy S20 or the OnePlus 8 Pro. With the dynamic refresh rate, the display is able to adjust itself from 50, 60, 90, and 120 Hz according to the usage scenario to save power. The display otherwise comes with a punch hole to accommodate the front selfie cam and has a layer of Gorilla Glass 5 on top.
