Hello Fellow Gamers, are you looking for a new android phone for gaming but short on a budget? I know game these days requires a lot of stuff like an Ultra-high refresh rate, a powerful processor, a cooling system, a high amount of RAM, an Ultra-High touch sample rate, a Good Display, a High-quality sound, and a large battery, that kind of specs are usually found on more expensive device/ a Flagship.
But what if there is a smartphone with all that specs for only $200, should it be your next phone for gaming?
The Android phone that ill be talking about is the new one released by Xiaomi, the POCO X3, a follow-up model of Poco X2, but this time it has more than a punch and almost flagship specs with a price of budget, what can we get from a $200 smartphone from Xiaomi the Poco X3 ?? let find out.
Processor
Let us start with the processor, since the processor is the brain of the smartphone it is very crucial to choose a phone with a better processor especially when your priority is gaming.
The new Poco X3 sports with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G, which is an upgrade of the Snapdragon 730, it is also been said that the Snapdragon 732G has 15% improvements in graphic rendering vs the 730.
The new Snapdragon 732G is an Octa-core processor, which is useful for a high-intensity game, in terms of clock speed the 732G reach 2.3GHz and can handle every game you throw at it.
RAM/ROM
In terms of the RAM capacity, the Poco X3 has a whopping 6GB of LPDDR4X which can usually be found on a flagship smartphone, but remember that the Poco X3 is only a $200 smartphone which is a big save.
For the Storage, it has 64GB/128GB of UFS 2.1 of internal storage that has also microSD support if the 64GB is not enough for you.
Liquid Cooling technology
We all know that when gaming, the phone processor heat-ups, and when it comes you will notice some frame drops caused by thermal throttling, when your device can’t handle the heat, it throttled down the performance of the device to dissipate the heat.
Fortunately, the Poco X3 has its liquid cooling system which claims 20% improvements in dissipating heat and less worry about thermal throttling.
120Hz Refresh-Rate
Other features that you can just find in a flagship are now in Poco X3, which offers a 120Hz refresh rate allowing its user to experience smoothness and a fluid performance when scrolling and gaming with this phone.
This kind of feature is usually found on a more expensive device like the Oneplus 8 pro and another expensive gaming phone, but keep in mind that Oneplus is far more expensive than Poco X3.
240Hz touch sampling rate
Poco X3 also sports a 240Hz touch sampling rate making the device fast, smooth, and responsive and together with a 120Hz refresh rate was pretty rare for a phone in that price range, Xiaomi did pretty well with this one, for giving its customer a flagship-like experience with lesser price remember that this phone just cost $200 and giving a 240Hz touch sampling rate is impressive.
A Larger battery
Well the features of Poco X3 were impressive, especially for gaming, Xiaomi put a bigger battery on it so it can stand on more power-hungry games for hours.
The Poco X3 is equipped with 5160mAh battery that they claim up to 10 hours of gaming, and what more impressive is that they even include the 33W fast charger in the box.
Conclusion
In my conclusion, the New Poco X3 is a real deal for a budget gamer, the specs that it has, and an affordable price tag. it completely crashes all of its competitors.
Honestly, for now, it is really hard to find a smartphone that can compete with Poco X3, sure it is not a flagship and it has some drawbacks like the plastic body but considering the price and the performance you can get, this is the best value smartphone for gaming.
