People often want to buy the best devices with a high price/performance ratio, so they compare the features of the devices and try to get the best device for the budget they have.
Brands are promoting a lot of devices for each segment. You may witness a mobile phone being introduced every day. Considering that many devices are introduced in a year, we think that it becomes difficult for people to decide which device to buy. Sometimes, people think about the differences between the new series and the previous series, and whether it is necessary to switch to a higher model. However, new generation devices generally do not have significant differences compared to previous generation devices. You’ll see a more advanced camera, a better screen, and more. Do you think you really need a new generation device that is a bit more advanced? Will it provide you with an important innovation when you buy it? We see that such questions are not often asked by users.
POCO introduced the POCO X3 NFC model last year. POCO X3 NFC had 120Hz screen, 64MP quad camera and other features have attracted the attention of users, but the fact that this device cannot satisfy users in terms of performance left question marks in mind.
After that, POCO introduced the POCO X3 Pro. POCO X3 Pro comes with the flagship chipset Snapdragon 860 compared to the previous POCO X3 NFC, which significantly increased the performance. Users stated that there were no shortcomings with the POCO X3 Pro model. This time, POCO has announced that the next generation X series device, the POCO X4 Pro 5G, will be introduced soon. We saw that a review of this model was written with its images before the introduction. So what are the differences with the previous generation POCO X3 Pro, what innovations does it provide? In this article, we will compare the POCO X3 Pro and POCO X4 Pro for you. You can read our POCO X3 Pro review here
