  • better than iPhone 12

    I bought the phone as soon as it came out, everything is fine, no complaints, but I would like an AMOLED screen, I used the native firmware for 3-4 years and the phone started to lag and drain quickly, I downloaded Pixel expiriens instead of the native MIUI, the phone works great, even today everything is fine with it.

  • Great phone from 2021 to 2024 than motherboard died and i lost some data

    After 2.5 years the battery was terrible. It gives around 4 hours of screen time and the heating also. But i played games many hours on this phone so i understand that.

  • Incredible power, cheap price, but an inevitable death

    This phone was awesome, for this price you could get a 120hz screen (even if it's lcd), and flagship level performances. Sadly, every single poco x3 pro will die after a while because of solder joint issue. Mine died last week, after about 2 years of moderate use

    Pros
    • Flagship performances
    • 120hz screen
    • Fingerprint sensor
    • 33w fast charging
    Cons
    • under average camera
    • WILL die

  • Best phone I had so far.

    After more than 2 years of using the phone I could say that the performance still stands up with all the mobile games. Charging is really fast and with 33 W it could charge the battery fully in less than an hour.
    Camera didn't hold up with time, but tbh it wasn't great even when I bought the phone.
    Software is sometimes buggy and I was promised an update but I didn't get it for some reason, even though some people with the same model got it. The ads integrated in the operating system are also dumb but I got used to it.
    The best thing is that I feel like the phone is indestructable, I have been dropping it everywhere not caring abou it and now only the phone case is damaged a little in the corners.
    It's kinda thick but I don't mind.
    The phone was worth the price and I feel like my next phone will probably be also from Poco.

    Edit: 3 weeks after this review my phone died, white screen quite a common problem.
    And I now feel that my next phone WON'T BE FROM POCO OR XIAOMI IN GENERAL.
    To be fair it was quite old at this point and I expected it to die at some point.

    Pros
    • Powerful chip
    • A lot of storage
    • Fast charging
    • Affordable
    Cons
    • Camera
    • Software is buggy
    • Ugly back design

Ki Cost-effective
Score

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
