The Poco X3 NFC was the phone that turned Poco into a household name for value in the UK, and it is easy to see why people still look it up. Poco put a 120Hz 6.67-inch screen, a 5,160mAh battery and stereo speakers into a phone aimed squarely at buyers who did not want to spend flagship money, then added the things budget phones usually drop first: a headphone jack, microSD expansion and NFC for contactless payments. The Snapdragon 732G is a mid-range chip rather than a fast one, but paired with that big battery it delivers the sort of two-day endurance most flagships never manage. The compromises show up elsewhere. It is a genuinely chunky phone at 215g and 9.4mm thick, the display is LCD rather than OLED so blacks look grey next to an AMOLED rival, and the 48MP main camera is fine in daylight but soft after dark. Software support has ended, which matters most if you want ongoing security patches. As a cheap, long-lasting media and gaming phone, though, it is still coherent.

Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
