Poco X3 Puns

My cousin is looking for a phone to upgrade to (he is coming from a 5 year old BLU life oneX2) would the Poco x3 Pro be a good bet for the long run? Long term users from your experience would you recommend it? It's either the X3 Pro of the Poco F3.

Just got my Poco x3 pro 8gb 256gb yesterday and I setup the game turbo and turned on some settings like optimised peformance etc and noticed that battery drains fast when im playing. The phone heats up too and kinda uncomfortable. Does using game turbo when playing is really good at all?

Trying to install Lineage on my Poxo X3 PRO. In fastboot mode, fastboot flash recovery lineage-18.1-20211231-recovery-vayu.img works with no errors. But then when I reboot into recovery mode it's still running MIUI recovery so the instructions on how to sideload the zip don't follow.

If lineage recovery hasn't replaced miui recovery does that mean the fastboot flash didn't work? Is there a way to switch from one recovery to another?

Edit: tried the same process but with twrp instead - still reboots into the miui recovery.

Edit edit: after fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img it turns out you need to do fastboot boot <recovery>.img to manually boot into the correct recovery.

I don't like miui I want to use shelter but in miui not possible, and one thing if I unlocked bootloader there is some functionality lose permanently like OIS and Dolby Atmos permanently if come back stock miui and second suggest me best stable ROM for daily driver, I want to use banking apps and click good pictures,And last thing if I'm applying to unlocking bootloader and connect device it's always says error 1004 rather then showing time left, help me.

If anyone is using poco x3 nfc for 1 year. Drop your thoughts here. I myself have the same phone.

Merhaba. Sırf yazılımından ötürü a52s alacaktım ancak internetteki yorumlarda kasa probleminin olduğunu ve ekranın amoled olmasına rağmen kötü olduğunu söylüyorlar. Sizin görüşleriniz nelerdir? Hangisini tercih etmeliyim?

I have the global variant of the X3 Pro. There's still some days until I unlock my bootloader so I was thinking about asking you.

The Android 12 PE rom is pretty fresh. Should I go for it, or stay on Android 11 for some time? Stability and battery life are quite important for me.

Also, if you have any advices in regards of custom roms feel free to tell me. It's gonna be the first time I cfw a xiaomi device, but I have done it on many Samsung phones before.

I'm looking to change my ROM because I'm kind of tired of the stock miui. I think I should be worried about warranty because I bought it on bangood, not expecting to send my phone to China lol.

I just use my phone for regular use, the most use would be the camera. Maybe I'm looking mostly for the design of the UI. I feel that the Pixel Experience would suit me the best, but i want to know what do you think it's the best :)

I'm planning to buy X3 PRO soon but in this sub, i see posts about issues on X3 PRO, makes me not wanna buy it.

Is there any tips on how to balance battery life and performance on the phone?

How to prevent these issues on the phone?

For some reason it doesn't allow images here. I have 137 GB of "unknown" in my storage manager. The space is being used. But I can't delete it. Nothing shows in Windows file manager or the Android one. How do I get my space back?

Well, since August last year (2021) I have a x3 pro 128gb. I'm very happy with it, it's powerful, the screen looks great and I like the camera. I like everything but the battery. It's hard to get past 7 hours of active screen time, and it usually gives something like 6 hours, without gaming. Playing, it can go down to 5 hours or less. Is that normal? How long does the battery last?

MIUI 12.5.4 released for X3 NFC - I received it today. It is actually Enhanced Edition of MIUI, although the changelog is vague as usual.

>Optimised system performance
>
>Improved system security and stability

This update has added Memory Extension feature in Additional Settings.

Additionally, the security patch is now November 2021.

There appears to be no other changes although the Settings app has some minor UI tweaks.

New feature: The Security app allows a new power option: Performance Mode.

New feature: The Android R Easter Egg is now accessible in Smart Home control within Control Panel.

12.5E Information: https://piunikaweb.com/2021/11/22/xiaomi-miui-12-5-enhanced-edition-update-eligibilty-release-tracker/

The generalised changelog for 12.5 Enhanced is mainly marketing and buzzwords:

>Liquid Storage (relates to storage fragmentation)
>
>Atomic Memory (changes to memory management)
>
>Focused Computing (changes to CPU management)
>
>Intelligent Balance (changes to application management)

What has your experience on the X3 NFC been with Enhanced Edition? Real improvements or the same old MIUI?

Hi, I'm planning to buy a new controller since my current controller is a bit hard on the hands (8bitdo SN30 pro w/ clip). I'm currently looking at the Gamesir X2 (2021) seeing that says that it supports phones up to 173mm in length which I think might fit, but I still wanted to know from others who have both the controller and the phone (or a similar phone in length).

Been searching here but can't find a direct yes or no and some may not be the 2021 model since the 2020 model says it supports up to 167mm.
