POCO Global today launched the Real Beast POCO F3 and the new and soon-to-be-coveted POCO X3 Pro

This is good news to all POCO fans as POCO Global today launched two flagship smartphones - The Real Beast POCO F3 and the new and soon-to-be-coveted POCO X3 Pro. 


Sporting the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G Mobile Platform, POCO F3 immediately grabs attention as the brand's most commanding device to date. POCO F3 is also equipped with a 6.67" E4 AMOLED DotDisplay with 120Hz refresh rate, as well as the Dolby Atmos audio technology. Powerful yet slim and light, POCO F3 is comfortably in the league with high-end flagships.

POCO X3 Pro maintains the top-notch features that made its predecessor a prime choice for hardcore gamers and techies, but boasts an even better performance with one of the most powerful 4G mobile platforms currently on the market: the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 860 Mobile Platform. With upgraded speed, storage capacity, and RAM option, POCO X3 Pro takes gaming experience to a level unparalleled at this price point. 





"As of Feb 28th, 2021, POCO has shipped a total of 13 million smartphones since the initial launch of POCO F1 in 2018. 

And specifically global shipments of POCO X3 NFC alone have surpassed 4 million units within 7 months," said Kevin Qiu, Head of POCO Global. "This time, we will continue POCO’s success by bringing exactly what you need, and MORE."

“We are excited to support POCO in launching two amazing new products, POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro, featuring the Snapdragon 870 and 860 respectively. These platforms are designed to deliver powerful connectivity experiences, elevated game-play, and brilliant camera capabilities to support premium mobile experiences for users around the world,” said Kedar Kondap, Vice President of Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. 

POCO F3 - The Real Beast

Beast performance: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 5G Mobile Platform 

POCO F3 plays in the big leagues with the brand’s most powerful device yet, powered by the Snapdragon 870 5G Mobile Platform. The device features an upgraded Qualcomm® Kryo™ 585 CPU prime core clock speed of up to 3.2 GHz, which is an industry-leading prime core clock speed. Along with the ultra-fast Qualcomm® Adreno™ 650 GPU, POCO F3 delivers superb game-play experience. Paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, the flagship setup guarantees faster read-write speeds for multitasking. The boosted performance is embodied in its high efficiency 7nm processor as well as the LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus which allows the device to deliver sustained peak performance.

POCO F3 meets all the latest benchmarks in connectivity, sporting a Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System for the lightning fast 5G connectivity* with support for the majority of global network bands. The device also supports Wi-Fi 6, putting it comfortably in league with high-end smartphones.

Beast 6.67" AMOLED display & premium design 

POCO F3's 120Hz high refresh rate provides unprecedented smoothness when gaming on the large 6.67" AMOLED display. This beast also features one of the tiniest dots in the industry at just 2.76mm.  Additionally, the 360Hz touch sampling rate and the fine-tuned touch algorithm allows the phone to respond extremely fast to the touch of a fingertip. The MEMC technology, adding up to 60fps, further enhances the smoothness of video content.

The HDR10+ certified display, along with the True Display and True Color features, provides a truly eye-pleasing viewing experience with vibrant, highly accurate color.  More than that, the upgraded E4 material brings the screen’s peak brightness to 1300 nits, and helps reduce power consumption by 15% compared to the last-generation E3 material. 

Crafted from a non-slippery material and measuring only 7.8mm thin and 196g in weight, the device feels comfortable and secure in the hand. At the same time, the Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 on both front and back gives the phone sturdy protection. 

Beast entertainment with Dolby Atmos®, AI triple camera setup and more

Rocking a dual speaker setup with a bottom main speaker and a secondary speaker at the top, POCO F3 produces superior, high-definition sound. POCO F3 is the brand’s first device to feature Dolby Atmos® sound technology**, leveling up the sound quality for a thoroughly immersive experience for gaming, videos and music, no matter if you are listening through headphones or built-in speakers. 

"We, at Dolby, are looking forward to the launch of the POCO F3 series, because not only are we thrilled to extend the extraordinary Dolby Atmos experience to smartphones from POCO, but we are also proud of the spectacular work done by POCO in enabling a world-class entertainment experience on the POCO F3," said Mahesh Balakrishnan, Vice President of Audio Business, Consumer Entertainment Group at Dolby Laboratories. 

POCO F3's AI triple camera setup and myriad of crafty, innovative camera features help unleash photography skills. The rear cameras consist of a 48MP main camera with 1.6μm 4-in-1 large pixel, an 119° ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP telemacro camera that supports 3cm - 7cm autofocus. This finely tuned combo allows for stunning high-resolution and detailed images in lightning time, greatly improving the camera's versatility. The 20MP front camera also supports Night Mode selfie.

Unlike most of the dual-mic smartphones, POCO F3 has a triple-microphone setup and comes with Audio Zoom feature. When shooting a video, the dedicated third microphone on the rear allows the device to "zoom in" on the sound along with the image, capturing clear audio of far-away scenes and considerably improving sound reception during filming. Meanwhile, the X-axis linear haptic motor provides short, crisp vibrations to complete the flagship-level entertainment experience. 

POCO F3 gets its power from no ordinary battery. The 4,520mAh (typ) battery can be powered up at lightning speed thanks to the Middle Middle Tab (MMT) technology, which routes electric current into the device more efficiently. With the 33W in-box fast charger, the device can be charged to 100% in just 52 minutes***.

POCO F3 comes in three colors, Arctic White, Night Black and Deep Ocean Blue, with two storage variants - 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. The 6GB+128GB will retail at PHP 17,990, while the 8GB+258GB version is priced at PHP 20,990 exclusively on Lazada. Consumers who will avail on March 27 will enjoy an early bird offer of PHP 15,990 and PHP 18,990 for the 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB respectively.

Along with enhanced UFS 3.1, the device offers snappy read and write speeds, so you don't have to wait long to load files, games and apps.
