Poco X3 NFC- Profile
The Review
The POCO X3 NFC device which I have received for review is the Shadow Gray color.
With the 84.6% screen-to-body ratio display, it has a thin bezel with a thin black metal frame around the phone display. The only thing you will notice is in the top area where it houses the sleek earpiece speaker and single-lens camera embedded in the display in the shape of a small circle (POCO calls it Dot Display).
This is a mid-range smartphone and generally, consumers are interested to buy a smartphone with a good camera and features like making calls and being connected on Social Media and work-related Apps.
Cameras
Selfie Camera
The front camera is a single 20 MP, f/2.2, (wide), 1/3.4″ and photo resolution is 3880 x 5184 at 72dpi and has a sensor for face detection.
Some of the additional features of the front camera under photo mode, in the setting, is the gesture, so when you hold your open palm in front of the front camera, it gives you a 3-sec count and clicks a selfie. You can record videos in 720p and 1080 at 30fps. You can add a Movie frame to shoot a selfie which gives you cinematic looks. The other features include HDR and AI. The smartphone doesn’t have a front LED light for flash but it uses the display screen full brightness as a flash or fill light in selfie mode. It has Ai scene recognition support too. For Selfie, the front camera has additional functions like skin smoothing, face slandering, Big eyes. You can shoot in 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, and full display ratio format. Also, you have timer setup option: – 3s, 5s, and 10s and Timed burst which clicks from 10 to 600 images in 1sec to 60secs.

Main Camera
The back panel of the POCO X3 NFC houses the Quad cameras with LED. The back-panel camera module design stands out differently from other brands with the unique circle design on the panel and protruding curved rectangle horizontal placed Quad camera with LED flash. The Quad cameras consist of 64 MP, f/1.9, (wide), 1/1.73″ + 13 MP, f/2.2, 119˚ (ultrawide) + 2 MP, f/2.4, (macro) + 2 MP, f/2.4, (depth). It supports autofocus (laser focus, phase focus, contrast focus), supports EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization). The camera module is little protruding from the back panel, so it better to use the translucent phone casing to protect the cameras.
