POCO X3 NFC Camera Specifications

The phone packs a quad rear camera with a circular design, and the first camera comes with a 64-Megapixel camera with an f/1.9 lens slot, with a Sony IMX682 sensor with a size of 1/3.4, which is the same sensor as the Realme 7 and Realme 7 Pro.

This camera is used for basic photography, while the second camera is used for wide-angle photography with an angle of up to 119 degrees, which is 13 Megapixels and f/2.2 lens slot.

The third and fourth camera, both with 2 Megapixels and f/2.4 aperture, use one for macro photography and the other to help in isolation or portrait mode.

The rear camera provides the ability to shoot 4K @ 30fps videos and 1080p slow-motion with 120 frames per second or 720p and 960 frames per second, and also supports HDR, panorama mode, and zoom via software up to 10 times and attached to a single LED flash.

The Poco X3 NFC mobile comes with an excellent camera for selfies, as the front camera works with a 20-Megapixel resolution and f/2.2 lens slot and supports panorama and HDR and the ability to shoot 1080p@30fps videos.

The camera app for Poco X3 is the same app used in the same price bracket for Xiaomi / Redmi / Poco phones, which means that it is mostly intuitive and easy to use.

Only one thing that constantly bothered us was the tiny 0.6x/1x/2x button sizes that let you switch between zoom, widescreen, and virtual images. This means that if you don't hit them quite accurately, you could get the wrong results.

Aside from this minor annoyance, our experience using the Poco X3's camera app was problem-free. It always delivers a quick trial with great results. You can set the phone to quickly go to the camera app when you double press the volume down button or when you double press the power button (although the settings are in different parts of the user interface, you can look them up in the settings for faster access). There is a great deal of flexibility in the number search options, and we love it.

Conclusion (a brief review of the mobile):

Looking at the specifications of the phone on paper, we find that it really offers everything the user needs from a powerful processor and a giant battery with a screen that keeps pace with the current development in addition to cameras that provide acceptable performance and a large number of additions such as the IR sensor, NFC technology and stereo sound, but! In my opinion, the success of the phone and its ability to compete with the Realme 7 depends on two factors.

The first factor is to avoid manufacturing defects and poor network, which has long been famous for Xiaomi phones, whether medium or even high-end, and the second is that the price of the phone does not differ from global pricing. You can also see the new mobiles offered by Poco in the same series, namely: Xiaomi Poco X4 Standard model and phone Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro The most expensive version.

The acceptable price in the Egyptian market is 4600 pounds for the 6/64 GB version and 5200 pounds for the larger 6/128 version.
