After waxing intense anticipation for the past couple of days, Poco has finally launched its long advertised Poco X3 Pro today. Poco X3 Pro is an addition to Poco X3 Lineup and is the premium variant amongst the brothers.

Did we get a budget flagship? Oh, maybe. Let’s look into the details about what the new Poco X3 Pro has to offer.
