Poco F1 Vs Poco X3 Pro: Key Differences

Now, comparing the Poco F1 and Poco X3 Pro is kind of unfair as the Pro X3 Pro was unveiled recently in India. On the other hand, Poco F1 released earlier in 2018, over two years ago. So, the difference between the devices is pretty extensive.

For starters, Poco X3 Pro comes with a display that supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The Poco F1’s display, on the contrary, only supports a 60Hz screen refresh rate and a 60Hz touch sampling rate. The X3 Pro does not have IR Face Unlock though.

There is also a bigger 5,000mAh battery inside the X3 Pro compared to the 4,000mAh one in the F1. Moreover, the X3 Pro also comes with support for 33W fast charging, faster than 18W fast charging on the F1.

On the camera front, the difference is significant as the X3 Pro comes with two more camera sensors than the Poco F1. The F1 includes a dual-camera setup with a 12MP primary lens and a 5MP secondary sensor. The X3 Pro, on the other hand, packs a quad-camera setup including a massive 48MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens with 119-degree FOV, and a pair of 2MP for macro shots and depth info.

Not to mention, the performance of the X3 Pro will be on par with the latest devices with the Snapdragon 860 chipset inside. Although the Snapdragon 860 SoC is a rebranded Snapdragon 855+, it is still much faster than the over-3-years-old Snapdragon 845 chipset that powers the Poco F1. So, will you upgrade to Poco X3 Pro?
