The Poco X3 NFC is here, and for the first time since the original Pocophone, the X3 NFC is not based on any previously available Xiaomi smartphone. The Poco division has finally come up with an original smartphone complete with a unique design and handpicked feature set.
The Poco X3 NFC is an obvious successor to the Poco X2, which was a rebranded Redmi K30. It has a 6.67" IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, just like the X2, but has a much smaller punch hole by dropping the unnecessary 2MP selfie depth sensor. The X3 employs an updated version of the X2 Snapdragon 730G chipset - the X3 runs on the newer Snapdragon 732G with a more powerful processor and graphics.
The Poco X3 has a promising quad-camera on the back that's very similar to the X2's - a 64MP primary, a 13MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth shooter. The Poco X2 had the same quartet, but the ultrawide shooter used an 8MP sensor instead of 13MP.
So, in addition to the smaller notch, newer chip and better ultrawide snapper over the X2, the X3 also brings stereo speakers, a larger 5,160mAh battery, and faster charging capabilities. Oh, and NFC, too, if the name hasn't spoiled that for you.
The Poco X3 NFC is shaping up like an excellent mid-ranger, but we've left its standout detail for last - the bargain price. Poco X3 NFC is officially priced at €229, which makes it hard to resist.
The Poco X3 NFC is IP53-certified for dust and splash protection. You also find some other fan-favorite features such as an IR blaster, 3.5mm jack, microSD slot, FM radio, among others. And finally, the X3 ships with the latest MIUI12 based on Android 10, and it's already shaping as one of the better UIs this year.
Well, the Poco X3 NFC certainly sounds promising on paper. Let's find out if that's true.
Unboxing the Poco X3 NFC
The Poco X3 NFC is packed with a rather thick paper box that contains everything you may ever need with this phone but headphones. The bundle offers a 33W power brick, a 3A-rated USB-C cable, and a see-through (antibacterial) case.
That's not all. Inside the box, you will also find a lot of Poco stickers for your car, notebooks, laptops, etc. Some paperwork and the SIM-ejection pin complete the retail box contents.
If you are in Nigeria as of today, you will understand that the most important topic of discussion at the moment is the #End Sars protest currently going on in about 4 states of the federation.
For years, the SARS department of the police force has been accused of extrajudicial killings and human rights abuses of very damaging proportions.
Nigerians have dragged popular journalist, Dele Momodu to filth for not joining the ongoing #Endsars protest.
They dragged the journalist for not engaging in a very serious campaign against Sars, with the same energy he used in campaigning for some ex BBNaija housemates.
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra's New Patch Improves Camera Performance
~1.3 mins read
Some unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G units in the US are now receiving an update that brings a handful of under-the-hood improvements and bumps up the security patch to September 2020.
The update has been spotted outside of the US as well but the changelog didn't include any of the camera and stability changes except the September security patch, so the US users are the first ones to receive the full update. The company will likely push the improvements with the next security patch in October.
Anyway, the changelog isn't very descriptive, as usual. It mentions that there are performance improvements to the camera, stability improvements for Clipboard and Samsung's own Internet browser. Stability tweaks to the overall software are also baked in.
The patch itself weighs 359MB and will likely hit carrier Note20 Ultra 5G units in the following weeks.
