Poco X3 Pro vs X3 GT, Differences and Which Is Better

The Poco X3 Pro is a mobile that has been on the market for several months, being one of the terminals with the best value for money at the moment. And it is that this device, with the Snapdragon 860 inside, has high-end hardware, although not the newest, yes, since said processor chipset is from 2019. Despite this, it offers the excellent and decent performance of a high range, which is comparable to that of the Poco X3 GT, another newer mobile that was recently launched and bets on a piece of Mediatek, the Dimensity 1100. Based on several similarities and differences at the level of characteristics and technical specifications, now we compare both mobiles with each other, in order to determine which one is better and why.

The prices indicated in the article could vary over time, so, from tuexperto.com, we limit ourselves to analyzing the differences at the date of publication.

DIFFERENT FORMULAS AT THE DESIGN LEVEL

The first thing that strikes you when comparing these devices to each other is how little resemblance they have. More than that, they are very different mobiles, aesthetically speaking, although this only applies if we refer to the backs of each one, which is where they have several differences, but not on their faces since both have similar screens with light frames and a hole for the selfie camera at the top center. Mind you, the Poco X3 GT has a slightly more pronounced chin on the front than the Poco X3 Pro.

On the other hand, the X3 Pro features a rather interesting circular camera module on the upper back, while the Poco X3 GT has a camera system with a different design on the upper left corner. Likewise, neither has a rear fingerprint reader; instead, they have it on the right side.

From the rest, they have slight differences in terms of dimensions, with the Poco X3 Pro being larger, although where they differ the most is in weight. In question, the first weighs 215 grams and the second about 193 grams , which results in about 23 grams less in favor of the Poco X3 GT, which is why it is more comfortable in the hand.

SAME 120HZ SCREENS, BUT DIFFERENT SIZES

Both the Poco X3 Pro and the Poco X3 GT have IPS LCD technology screens, FullHD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels (20:9) and a refresh rate of 120 Hz for very smooth and fluid transitions and animations that offer a user experience much higher than average, more than anything when it comes to playing.

They are also compatible with HDR10, which means that both panels have a high dynamic range to show images with difficult color interpretation, even more so when whites are strong. However, the dimensions of both screens are different, being 6.67 inches diagonal in the Poco X3 Pro and 6.6 inches in the Poco X3 GT.

In addition, they have different crystals for protection: Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for the first and Gorilla Glass Victus for the second. On this last point, it is worth noting that the Victus is more resistant to falls, scratches and bumps.

TWO VERY DIFFERENT PROCESSORS THAT OFFER QUITE DECENT PERFORMANCE

Qualcomm and Mediatek face each other again with these two phones. The Snapdragon 860 at 2.96 GHz max. of clock frequency and 7nm lives inside the Poco X3 Pro, while the Dimensity 1100 at 2.6 GHz max. and 6 nm is in charge of the performance of the Poco X3 GT.

Both processor chipsets are very good, but the Dimensity 1100 is the one that offers the best performance, also because of its GPU, which is the Mali-G77 and surpasses the Adreno 640 of the Snapdragon 860. In turn, it is the one that best manages the consumption energy it provides, being of a smaller node size.

On the other hand, the X3 Pro comes with 6 and 8 GB of RAM, and 128 and 256 GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage space, respectively. The X3 GT has 8 GB RAM and 128 or 256 GB UFS 3.1 internal memory.

FOUR REAR CAMERAS FOR THE POCO X3 PRO AND THREE FOR THE POCO X3 GT

In the photographic section, there are several differences to take into account. And it is that the Poco X3 Pro comes with a rear quad camera system consisting of a 48 MP main sensor, a secondary 8 MP wide-angle sensor, a 2 MP lens for macro photos, and another 2 MP shooter for photos. bokeh.

On the Poco X3 GT side we have a triple module, but with a higher resolution main sensor that is 64 MP. There is also an 8 MP wide-angle camera and a 2 MP camera for macro photos.

Regarding the front cameras, the first comes with a 20 MP sensor with f / 2.2 aperture and the second with a 16 MP sensor with f / 2.5 aperture. Here the Poco X3 Pro wins. However, the rear camera system of the Poco X3 GT is superior, since its main sensor is better, although a point in favor of the X3 Pro is that it can use the GCam to obtain better photos since it has a Snapdragon chipset.

OTHER FEATURES

Both the Poco X3 Pro and X3 GT come with Android 11 under MIUI 12.5 for Poco, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and USB-C input. However, the former lacks 5G connectivity, something the X3 GT boasts about. Of course, only the X3 Pro comes with a microSD card slot for expanding the internal memory and a 3.5 mm jack input for headphones; the Poco X3 GT lacks it.

As for the batteries, the Poco X3 Pro has a 5,160 mAh with 33 W fast charge, while the X3 GT has a 5,000 mAh with 67 W fast charge.

PRICES, CONCLUSIONS, AND OPINION: WHICH IS BETTER IN 2021, THE POCO X3 PRO OR X3 GT?

It is clear that both mobiles have high technical characteristics and specifications. However, although they have the same screens, in different sizes, the fact that the Poco X3 GT has 5G connectivity, a battery with a much faster fast charge, a better rear camera module, a more powerful processor and with Better performance, stronger glass, more advanced Wi-Fi and Bluetooth versions, and considerably lighter weight make it a better buy in 2021.

Of course, we must bear in mind that the price of this mobile starts at 260 or 270 euros, while that of the Poco X3 Pro starts at about 200 euros. Also, as a point in favor of the latter, it has support for internal memory expansion through a microSD, 3.5 mm jack input for headphones, and a higher resolution front camera.
