Earlier this month, Xiaomi’s offshoot, Poco, announced the Poco X3 NFC device, and yesterday, the company unveiled the Poco X3 device without NFC to the Indian market.
Comparing both devices (X3 & X3 NFC), you can see the improvement in the battery size as the X3 NFC packs a 5160 mAh battery while the X3 smartphone has a bigger 6000 mAh battery as both devices can be fast-charged over USB-C at 33W.
Other than this difference, all specs of the Poco X3 device are the same as that of the Poco X3 NFC. Meaning that you would get a Snapdragon 732G SoC, 6.67″ FullHD+ 120Hz LCD, side-mounted fingerprint reader, dual stereo speakers, quad-camera setup at the back, boots Android 10-based MIUI 12, and a USB-C port.
It also comes in the same color options as the X3 NFC device, which is Cobalt Blue, and Shadow Gray; however, it is available in three variants – 6GB/64GB, 6GB/128GB, and 8GB/128GB, priced at $230/€195, $250/€215, and $270/€230, respectively.
