The young and gamers have another option to consider following the launch of the Poco X3 NFC. Priced from S$329, the mid-range smartphone combines sleekness with power. And it gets better for those in Singapore — the country will be among the first to get this new model from September 9.

Under the hood is Qualcomm’s recently-announced Snapdragon 732G processor, which is designed to deliver immersive gameplay and accelerated performance powered by an upgraded GPU and CPU.

With gaming in mind, LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus and an enlarged copper heat pipe with multiple layers of graphite work together to reduce the heat of the processor by up to six degrees. The Game Turbo 3.0 utility tunes the phone to leverage the powerful hardware for optimal gaming. Providing the juice is a 5,160mAh battery that can last up to two days on a single charge.

Poco X3 NFC features an edge-to-edge 6.67-inch FHD+ DotDisplay with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. Its DynamicSwitch function allows the phone to toggle among 50, 60, 90 and 120Hz according to usage requirements.

Quad-camera system

The device packs a top-notch rear quad-camera system consisting of a 64MP main camera, 13MP ultra-wide angle camera, 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Helping the young stand out with their shots are six kaleidoscope options, gold vibes mode, Cyberpunk mode, numerous new photo filters, and AI Skyscaping 3.0.

Poco X3 NFC will be available in two colours — Shadow Gray and Cobalt Blue — and two variants — the 6GB+64GB for S$329 and 6GB+128GB for S$399.

As part of the launch, the 6GB+64GB variant will be available exclusively on Shopee from September 9 to 12 at an early bird price of S$299, a drop from SGD 329. Customers will also receive a complimentary Poco mousepad and a BlackShark Fun Cooler. The 6GB+128GB variant will be available in an early bird deal at S$349 and come with a free Poco digital pouch and a BlackShark Fun Cooler Pro.
