Poco X3 Pro Price in Pakistan: Specs & Review
Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
Introduction
The Poco X3 Pro, announced in March 2021, is the phone that took the X3 formula and aimed it squarely at gamers: it kept the 6.67-inch 120Hz display and 5160mAh battery of the X3 NFC but replaced the mid-range Snapdragon 732G with the flagship-tier Snapdragon 860 and faster UFS 3.1 storage. At launch it was the cheapest way to get near-flagship performance anywhere.
In Pakistan the X3 Pro was never officially launched, but it became a cult favourite on the used market among PUBG Mobile players. This guide covers its full specifications, its Pakistan price situation, and how it differs from the X3, X3 NFC and X3 GT — three very different phones that share the X3 name.

Design and Build Quality
The X3 Pro shares the X3 family's chunky 215-gram, 9.4-mm body and big circular camera module, but upgrades the front glass to Gorilla Glass 6 and adds a matte dual-texture finish on the back to resist fingerprints. Phantom Black, Frost Blue and Metal Bronze were the launch colours.
IP53 splash protection, a side-mounted fingerprint reader and dual stereo speakers complete a practical design. It is not a slim phone, but the build feels solid and the cooling hardware inside justifies the thickness.
Display Features
The 6.67-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD runs at 120Hz with HDR10, 450-nit brightness, 240Hz touch sampling and DynamicSwitch refresh-rate adjustment. Gorilla Glass 6 is a step up from the X3 NFC's Glass 5.
For gaming the high refresh rate matters more than panel technology, and here the X3 Pro delivers: 120Hz gameplay with a responsive touch layer. It cannot match AMOLED contrast, but as a gaming screen it was excellent value.
Processor and Performance
The Snapdragon 860 is essentially a higher-binned Snapdragon 855+ — a true 2019 flagship chip — with Kryo 485 cores up to 2.96 GHz and the Adreno 640 GPU. Poco advertised an AnTuTu score around 491,000, roughly 50% above the Snapdragon 765G phones of the time. With UFS 3.1 storage and LiquidCool 1.0 Plus, this was genuine flagship-tier speed at a mid-range price.
Even today the 860 handles PUBG Mobile, Free Fire and everyday multitasking well, though it runs warmer and less efficiently than modern 4nm chips. Note the trade-off Poco made: flagship chip, but no 5G modem and a weaker camera than the X3 NFC.
RAM and Storage
The X3 Pro came as 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB with fast UFS 3.1 storage — a major upgrade over the X3 NFC's UFS 2.1 — plus a hybrid microSD slot supporting up to 1TB. The 8GB+256GB variant is the one gamers hunt for on the used market.
UFS 3.1 keeps game loading times and app installs noticeably snappier than the X3 NFC, and the difference is felt every day.
Camera Features
Poco cut costs on the camera to fund the chip: the main sensor drops to a 48MP Sony IMX582 (f/1.79) with PDAF, joined by an 8MP ultra-wide (119°), a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. Video reaches 4K at 30 fps and the 20MP front camera handles selfies.
Daylight photos are decent but a step behind the X3 NFC's 64MP setup, and the ultra-wide is the weakest link in the X3 family. If photography matters more than gaming, the X3 NFC or a newer model is the better pick.
Battery and Charging
The 5,160mAh battery with 33W fast charging was advertised to reach 100% in about 59 minutes, with the charger included in the box. Poco quoted up to 11 hours of gaming or 18 hours of video playback when new.
The Snapdragon 860 is thirstier than the 732G, so real-world endurance is good rather than exceptional. Used units will show degradation — check battery health and confirm the 33W charger is included.
Software and Updates
The X3 Pro launched on Android 11 with MIUI 12 for POCO and received updates through its support window. Official software support has now ended, so the phone will not receive new Android versions or security patches.
Game Turbo and the POCO Launcher remain useful, but verify that your banking and essential apps still support the installed Android version on any used unit you consider.
Connectivity and Additional Features
Despite the flagship chip, the X3 Pro is 4G-only — the Snapdragon 860 lacks an integrated 5G modem, a deliberate cost decision. You get dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, an IR blaster, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers with Hi-Res certification and a Z-axis linear motor for haptics.
NFC is market/region dependent, so verify it on the specific unit if you need contactless payments.
Variants, Colours and Availability
The X3 Pro sold globally as 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB in Phantom Black, Frost Blue and Metal Bronze. It was never officially launched in Pakistan, so local units are imports — mostly used now — with condition and IMEI status varying per piece.
Its popularity with gamers means used stock turns over quickly; clean 8GB+256GB units command a premium.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
WhatMobile Pakistan lists the Poco X3 Pro at Rs. 49,999 for the 6GB variant and Rs. 57,999 for the 8GB variant (official-warranty pricing, updated 10 October 2026), but used units trade below those figures depending on condition. Please confirm the latest price with Zohaan Mobile Gallery for the exact variant and condition you want.
Because the X3 Pro was never officially launched in Pakistan, PTA status is per-device. Always verify the IMEI of the exact handset — see what PTA approval means and how to verify PTA status before paying.
