We’ve already hinted that the Poco X3 NFC might be well suited to gamers on a budget, and that’s a point driven home by the handset’s excellent performance. In the Geekbench 5 CPU benchmark, the Poco scored 570 in the single-core test and 1,798 in multi-core processing. By comparison, our current budget favourite, the MediaTek Helio G85-powered Redmi Note 9, is roughly 40% slower in the same benchmark, and it’s a similar story with the Moto G9 Play and Samsung Galaxy M31.

Nor is there an eye-catching finish to the phone’s plastic rear, of the type you get with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 or the Oppo Reno4 Z. Instead, there’s a fairly ugly band of diagonal lines into which a huge Poco logo is etched out. Xiaomi has managed to include a Snapdragon 732G CPU here, which is considerably more capable than the silicon employed by rival devices. The Redmi Note 9 (from another Xiaomi sub-brand) uses the insipid MediaTek Helio G85 CPU, while the Motorola G8 runs on the lesser Snapdragon 665. Talking of the big G, its apps are sequestered away inside a separate folder. You also get a folder with half a dozen or so third-party apps, ranging from the obvious (Facebook and Netflix) to the somewhat niche (WPS Office and LinkedIn).

Customer Service

Utilitarian design aside, the Poco X3 NFC has some stand-out features for its price. It isn’t too unusual to see a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and this one isn’t the speediest you’ll encounter. But how many phones these days have an IR blaster? This phone does, allowing you to use it to control your TV and hi-fi. Typically, I don’t give bundled-in cases more than a cursory glance, but you might want to consider using the clear silicon example that comes with the Poco X3 NFC. The phone sports a hugely prominent camera module, which the case mitigates with a large circular lip. Subtle it isn’t, but it should prove effective at warding off those inevitable dings. There’s really not all that much to say about the latter two, other than the fact that they’re fairly inconsequential. However, the main two sensors are quite a bit sharper than you normally get for the money. Say what you will about MIUI’s slightly artless look, but it’s thoroughly customisable. You can resize and rejig the icons, adjust the layout, choose from lots of custom themes, and more. Credit to Xiaomi for not adding an ugly custom widget screen to the left of the home screen, too. It’s Google Feed all the way, just how I like it. MyTrendyPhone’s assortment of Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC cases has a variety of practical, protective models in our customers’ favourite colours and materials.

Performance is great, too. The first phone we’ve reviewed with the powerful mid-range Qualcomm 732G processor – which was announced only a month ago – the Poco X3 NFC’s speeds are unmatched.

MIUI is also nice and fluid, except on the odd occasion where the hardware can’t quite keep up with that 120Hz display. It’s nothing drastic, and likely nothing that the software would be able to help much with, but you can tell you’re not dealing with a true flagship here. Poco X3 NFC battery life – Ample stamina and super-fast charging PUBG Mobile defaults to High Frame Rate and HD graphics, which is impressive for a phone at this end of the market. And it follows through on those settings with a smooth, sharp Battle Royale experience. Poco X3 NFC camera – Comfortably competent snaps

We would also like to recommend that you always read the product specifications before you decide to buy it. These short descriptions can help you discover some extra features you might not have expected from a phone case or could point out some features of your device that you didn’t know about. High-quality Products Make Your Smartphone Last Longer The device has been tested in a controlled laboratory conditions which meets requirements of Classification IP53 as described by the International Standard IEC 60529. I had high hopes for the Poco X3 NFC’s gigantic 5,160mAh capacity battery but unfortunately, it failed to make it into our top 20 list of the longest-lasting smartphones. Running for 18hrs 4mins on a single charge while playing a looped video, the Poco X3 NFC is still a solid performer, though, and it should last you an entire day’s worth of heavy use without needing to top it up throughout the day. Besides the original features of a case, you should pay attention to the difference between device-specific and universal models too. As the device-specific phone cases have precise cut-outs which match your smartphone perfectly, the universal ones can be used with various models of smartphones. A better comparison would be the Realme 7 5G, which has a similar combination of low-end processor, 5000mAh battery and 120Hz display; it also loses around 11% in this test. The Oppo Reno4 Z, which pairs a 120Hz display with a much smaller 4000mAh battery, loses a whopping 15-16%. So the Poco isn’t doing all that badly within this subsection of affordable 120Hz phones.And to top off this list of the 10 best cases for Xiaomi Poco X3, we have the rugged case for the Xiaomi Poco X3. Constructed from high-grade TPU and hard PC material, it provides maximum protection to your phone in case of impacts and scratches. It features a metal patch that can easily be attached to a magnetic holder in a car for easy GPS navigation or hands-free watching. The reinforced edge cushioning and raised edges provides full protection of the four corners from drops and sudden jerks.
