POCO X3 Arrives In India: Snapdragon 732G, 6,000mAh Battery, Affordable Price

Xiaomi sub-brand POCO announced the POCO X3 NFC early this month in Europe and now, the brand finally brings the phone to India without NFC and an even beefier battery.

As you may recall, the device was announced with a 5,160 mAh battery, but the Indian version’s battery capacity is even higher 6,000mAh. However, both versions charge with 33W fast charging technology. Other than this difference, the two versions have the same set of specs and design.

POCO X3: Price & Availability

While the POCO X3 NFC launched in Europe is only available with 6GB RAM, the POCO X3 in India will be up for sale in three configurations, one of which has 8GB RAM.

• 6GB RAM + 64GB storage: Rs. 16,999
• 6GB RAM + 128GB storage: Rs. 16,499
• 8GB RAM + 128GB storage: Rs. 18,499

The device is available in Cobalt Blue and Shadow Gray and users can get one via Flipkart from September 29th.
