I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

The phone is fully charged in 1 hour 5 minutes. Indicates that 52 hours of charge will suffice. Then everything depends on you. The presence of a case in the basic configuration from Xiaomi has become the norm for a long time, but some never had it at all. This cover has one fat plus - it is a plug for the Type C connector. Protection from dust, wool and dirt. Those who do not carry the phone in their pockets and have not seen how such a connector quickly clogs will not understand. The protective film is already pasted on the phone screen. You do not need to order it, then glue it or look for someone to do it for extra. a service that cannot be called a "divorce" in any other way. And this film, it really protects against scratches. At least from the buttons that were in her pocket she saved. Screen sensitivity remains high. Don't peel it off! The top curtain is divided into 2 parts: for notifications and the control center. For connected wireless headphones, it shows% charge. In Lenovo P2, the economy mode is accompanied by the appearance of orange curtains at the top and bottom. You can get used to it, but constantly seeing orange curtains was sometimes annoying. There is nothing like that here. As if this mode is not included at all - very cool. The ultra saving mode is a cool thing. The phone holds a charge even longer, although you are still available for communication. There is one side effect of stereo speakers, people around you can slightly hear the person you are talking to. If you choose between “hearing the interlocutor, but others can probably hear his voice” and “I can’t hear you, speak louder”, then I will choose the first option. If earlier the choice was between a camera phone (a good camera, but a weak battery + possible friezes / glitches, still a high price) or the device, on the contrary, a good percentage, long battery life, but a disgusting camera, now for me personally POCO X3 is the gold standard in ratio of price / quality, which, although it is considered a state employee in the price category, but does many devices that cost 3-5 times more! This is a breakthrough. The Chinese are great!

Pros

1. Complete set. 35 watt one-piece charging without an adapter. Hey Apple! 2. Screen. 120 Hz. Everything is smooth. Moreover, this mode can be turned on automatically. Yes, this is not amoled and most likely the white color will not be directly contrasting white. You can look at the tests, but this is not critical. The colors are still bright and vibrant. In 99% of cases, you will set the background image to be colored, not a white background. The viewing angle is not satisfactory. 3. Camera. To say that this is a top for your money is to say exactly nothing. Before buying, see the review of comparing the camera with the Iphone 11. Personally, all my doubts have disappeared. In short, in shooting at night, Poco X3 loses to Iphone 11, though not in all modes and not directly very critical, otherwise, better and clearer pictures on POCO X3. I will also add that the level of capture of the width is much cooler, HDR mode, photo in 64 mp mode, slow motion mode is a gun. As for the video. Here is a complete mess. 4K shooting. It has its own built-in stabilization + electronic stabilization is turned on (the feeling that you are not running while running, but smoothly riding a bike). Even on the Iphone 11 there is no such stabilization. Front camera - 20 MP. Very worthy. In addition, you do not need to download separate applications for photo / video editing (including for overlaying music / creating a clip) as before. Everything is already there and for free! 4. Shell MIUI Global 12. Almost completely customizable insides for themselves (double tap to unlock the screen, the ability to remove the front camera point under the black curtain, etc. ). They took the best that was and what is now. 5. Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G processor. All recent games are running at maximum speed. Didn't feel much heat. 6. Memory. 128 GB / 6 GB of RAM. 7. Sound. Stereo speakers. I just got high when in a noisy room and in transport I began to hear clearly the interlocutor. Before that, I thought that the matter was as an operator, but not a fig. The external speaker itself is good. 8. Support 2 sim cards. 9. Battery. 10. NFC. Not everyone has it. 11. Price. Took for 19450 (12/30/2022).

Cons

1. Dimensions. Still, the device is not for every hand. This phone for my palm (19 cm long and ~ 9.5 cm wide) would be ideal if it was 3-4 cm smaller in width and 2-3 cm shorter in length. 5th finger with difficulty reaches the opposite bottom edge of the phone. Who wears in the front pockets of jeans, may bulge slightly when moving on foot. If you sit with him, it will be unpleasant to rest. Of course, part of everything is decided by deep pockets or by carrying in other pockets or in a bag. 2. The side button for turning on / off with a fingerprint is not the best solution IMHO. Everything works, but that's not the point. It is better to separate such functions so that one of the two does not fail ahead of time. 3. Rather, this is not a drawback, but just a nitpick, but still. Few high-quality accessories, in particular covers. They exist, but they are all the same. Especially in comparison with accessories for iPhone. 4. Advertising in the shell itself. It is enabled almost everywhere, but you can turn it off with your fingers. Entire reviews have already been made on this topic. The issue is that not everyone wants to sit and turn it all off. 5. Memory expansion. You can buy a memory card and insert it, but keep in mind that it will take one of the SIM card slots. you can have 1 sim card and 1 memory card or 2 sim cards without a memory card. Therefore, it makes no sense to take a complete set of 64 GB because of the large weight of photos and videos. Only from 128 GB and above. 6. Camera. Medium night mode. Of course, it’s not a utopia, you can shoot, but don’t expect much. No autofocus when shooting video. More precisely, it is on a distant object, when you hover over a nearby one, it disappears. I think this will be fixed with ates. In any case, you can poke your finger on the screen to focus :) During photography, sometimes it smoothes the corners a little more than necessary. 7. The shell has its jambs. There is no limitless scrolling of desktops i. E. you scroll conditionally from 1 to 3 tables and then back 3,2,1.
