Poco to unveil Poco X3 Pro and Poco F3 on March 22: All details here
Poco’s new smartphones will be launched in India on March 30 and will carry competitive price tags.
Chinese smartphone maker Poco is all set to unveil two new devices on March 22, 2021. Posting a teaser on Twitter, the company has confirmed the global unveil. This will be almost a week ahead of the India launch, which is slated for March 30, 2021.
While an official confirmation is awaited, the Xiaomi-owned brand is expected to showcase two devices — Poco X3 Pro and Poco F3.
Positioned as budget flagship phones, the devices will be unveiled virtually with live streams on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube at 8 pm GMT (5:30 pm IST).
What we know so far
The Poco F3 is expected to be a rebadged Redmi K40 that was unveiled in China last month. The latter is powered by a 7nm Snapdragon 870 chipset. Optics include a 48MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 5MP macro lens. The front camera is a 20MP lens.
The phone does not carry a headphone jack but has stereo speakers. The phone includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass sensors.
Just like the Redmi K40, the Poco F3 is expected to carry forward the same 4,250 mAh battery, which supports 33-watt fast charging.
In comparison, the upcoming Poco X3 Pro is expected to house a Snapdragon 860 processor, and not the flagship Snapdragon 888. The former is set to be a 4G-only chipset to keep costs under check.
The camera setup is expected to be the same as that of the Poco F3, but rumour mills also suggest the use of a Sony-sourced 64MP shooter.
The Poco X3 Pro is expected to get a 120Hz display, while its battery is rumoured to be a 5,200 mAh unit.
Poco claims that it will break “the price-performance (P:P) benchmark,” with the new phones. It expects the devices to be priced competitively, possibly undercutting the rivals.
