POCO Global has launched two flagship smartphones — the F3 and the X3 Pro.
Sporting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G Mobile Platform, the POCO F3 immediately grabs attention as the brand’s most commanding device to date. It is equipped with a 6.67″ E4 AMOLED DotDisplay with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as the Dolby Atmos audio technology. Powerful yet slim and light, it is comfortably in the league with high-end flagships.
The POCO X3 Pro, meanwhile, maintains the top-notch features that made its predecessor a prime choice for hardcore gamers and techies. Now, it boasts an even better performance with one of the most powerful 4G mobile platforms available, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 Mobile Platform. With upgraded speed, storage capacity, and RAM option, it takes the gaming experience to a level unparalleled at this price point.
POCO F3 – The Real Beast
Beast performance: Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G mobile platform
The POCO F3 plays in the big leagues with the brand’s most powerful device yet, powered by the Snapdragon 870 5G mobile platform. The device features an upgraded Qualcomm Kryo 585 CPU prime core clock speed of up to 3.2GHz, which is an industry-leading prime core clock speed. Along with the ultra-fast Qualcomm Adreno 650 GPU, it delivers a superb game-play experience. Paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, the flagship setup guarantees faster read-write speeds for multitasking. The boosted performance is embodied in its high efficiency 7nm processor as well as the LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus which allows the device to deliver sustained peak performance.
POCO F3 meets all the latest benchmarks in connectivity, sporting a Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System for the lightning-fast 5G connectivity with support for the majority of global network bands. The device also supports WiFi 5, putting it comfortably in league with high-end smartphones.
Beast 6.67″ AMOLED display & premium design
The POCO F3’s 120Hz high refresh rate provides unprecedented smoothness when gaming on the large 6.67″ AMOLED display. This beast also features one of the tiniest dots in the industry at just 2.76mm. Additionally, the 360Hz touch sampling rate and the fine-tuned touch algorithm allows the phone to respond extremely fast to the touch of a fingertip. The MEMC technology, adding up to 60fps, further enhances the smoothness of video content.
The HDR10+ certified display, along with the True Display and True Color features, provides a truly eye-pleasing viewing experience with vibrant, highly accurate colors. More than that, the upgraded E4 material brings the screen’s peak brightness to 1300 nits and helps reduce power consumption by 15% compared to the last-generation E3 material.
Crafted from a non-slippery material and measuring only 7.8mm thin and 196g in weight, the device feels comfortable and secure in the hand. Simultaneously, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both front and back gives the phone sturdy protection.
Beast entertainment with Dolby Atmos, AI triple camera setup and more
Rocking a dual speaker setup with a bottom main speaker and a secondary speaker at the top, the POCO F3 produces superior, high-definition sound. It is the brand’s first device to feature Dolby Atmos sound technology, leveling up the sound quality for a thoroughly immersive experience for gaming, videos, and music, whether you are listening through headphones or built-in speakers.
The POCO F3’s AI triple camera setup and a myriad of crafty, innovative camera features help unleash photography skills. The rear cameras consist of a 48MP main camera with 1.6μm 4-in-1 large pixel, a 119° ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP telemacro camera that supports 3cm – 7cm autofocus. This finely tuned combo allows for stunning high-resolution and detailed images in lightning time, greatly improving the camera’s versatility. The 20MP front camera also supports Night Mode selfie.
Unlike most dual-mic smartphones, the POCO F3 has a triple-microphone setup and comes with an Audio Zoom feature. When shooting a video, the dedicated third microphone on the rear allows the device to “zoom in” on the sound along with the image, capturing clear audio of far-away scenes and considerably improving sound reception during filming. Meanwhile, the X-axis linear haptic motor provides short, crisp vibrations to complete the flagship-level entertainment experience.
The POCO F3 gets its power from no ordinary battery. The 4,520mAh (typ) battery can be powered up at lightning speed thanks to Middle Middle Tab (MMT) technology, which routes electric current into the device more efficiently. With the 33W in-box fast charger, the device can be charged to 100% in just 52 minutes.
The POCO F3 comes in three colors: arctic white, night black, and deep ocean blue, with two storage variants: 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. The 6GB+128GB retails at PHP 17,990, while the 8GB+258GB version is priced at PHP 20,990 exclusively on Lazada.
