The Poco X3 Pro has officially launched in India, just days after its global unveiling. It brings powerful gaming-oriented specifications at a competitive price of Rs 18,999.
Earlier in the year, Poco India’s Anuj Sharma confirmed that the company will be working on a new mid-range smartphone which will be the spiritual successor of the Poco F1 at a similar price point. While a separate Poco F3 also exists, it’s unclear if it will be widely available. Till then, the Poco X3 Pro is the company’s most premium offering in the country.
The Poco X3 is available in two configurations: the 6GB + 128GB variant is priced at Rs 18,999 and the 8GB + 128GB model at Rs 20,999. Colour options include Graphite Black, Steel Blue, and Golden Bronze. It will go on sale on Flipkart starting April 6. During the initial sale, you can get Rs 1,000 instant discount with ICICI debit and credit cards.

Poco X3 Pro was launched in India on Tuesday just a week after its global debut. The new Poco phone comes as an upgrade to the standard Poco X3 that debuted in the country September last year. The Poco X3 Pro is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC that was launched earlier this month as a slightly tweaked version of last year's Snapdragon 855. In addition to the latest Snapdragon chipset, the Poco X3 Pro carries quad rear cameras as well as a 120Hz display. The Poco phone also comes with up to 256GB of onboard storage. The Poco X3 Pro competes against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy F62, Realme X7, and the Vivo V20 2021.
Poco X3 Pro price in India, launch offer
Poco X3 Pro price in India has been set at Rs. 18,999 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, while the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model carries a price tag of Rs. 20,999. The phone comes in Golden Bronze, Graphite Black, and Steel Blue colour options and will be available for purchase through Flipkart from 12pm (noon), April 6.
Launch offer on the Poco X3 Pro comprises a 10 percent instance discount of worth up to Rs. 1,000 for customers making its purchase via an ICICI Bank credit card or EMI transactions.
The Poco X3 Pro was launched globally last week with a starting price EUR 249 (roughly Rs. 21,300). It arrived alongside the Poco F3, though there's no official word on the arrival of the latter in the Indian market.
With the launch of the Poco X3 Pro, Poco India has dropped the initial pricing of the Poco X3 to Rs. 14,999 from the existing Rs. 16,999. The new price will come into effect from April 1.
Poco X3 Pro specifications
The dual-SIM (Nano) Poco X3 Pro runs on Android 11 with MIUI 12 on top and features a 6.67-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,400 pixels) DotDisplay (company speak for hole-punch display) with 20:9 aspect ratio and 120Hz dynamic refresh rate. The display also carries 240Hz touch sampling rate and is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 6. The Poco X3 Pro is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC, coupled with Adreno 640 GPU and up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM.
For photos and videos, the Poco X3 Pro carries the quad rear camera setup that has a 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.79 lens, 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, 2-megapixel macro shooter, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The smartphone also has a 20-megapixel selfie camera sensor, with an f/2.2 lens.
The Poco X3 Pro has 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage option as standard that supports expansion (up to 1TB) through a dedicated slot. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, USB Type-C, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone also comes with dual speakers that feature HiRes Audio certification. There is also an IP53-certified build that brings splash resistance.
Sensors on the Poco X3 Pro include an accelerometer, ambient light, gyroscope, infrared (IR), and a proximity sensor. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
The Poco X3 Pro packs a 5,160mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging (compatible charger is bundled). Besides, it measures 165.3x76.8x9.4mm and weighs 215 grams.
The key talking point of the Poco X3 Pro is its performance. It is the first device to be powered by the Snapdragon 860 chipset, which is a slightly upgraded version of the Snapdragon 855 from 2019, with up to 15% higher graphics rendering and performance. Though, it’s unclear how it is better than the Snapdragon 855 Plus. It is an octa-core platform built on the 7nm process with a peak frequency of 2.96GHz. It uses UFS 3.1 storage and LPDDR4X RAM to keep things speedy.
Other specifications are not too different from the Poco X3 from last September, with the Poco X3 Pro having a 6.67-inch LCD screen that has a refresh rate of 120Hz and touch sampling rate of 240Hz. This is a smart display that can vary the refresh rate as per the content to preserve battery life. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 6 for scratch-resistance.
For photography, the Poco X3 Pro has four cameras on the back. There’s a 48MP f/1.79 primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front is a 20MP selfie camera. Using the Spectra 380 ISP, it is capable of features such as portrait mode, dual video, clones, sky replacement, selective colour and more.
The Poco X3 Pro houses a 5,160mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Other features include dual stereo speakers, HDR10 display, an infrared blaster, Android 11, etc.
