LITTLE X3LITTLE X3

The truth is that in recent times top-of-the-line mobile phones have risen in price to levels that are not achievable by many users. Terminals like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 or Huawei P40 are at prices that could hardly be reached by all kinds of people. But now comes the LITTLE X3, a terminal that offers many interesting features and that adjusts its price a lot.

East LITTLE X3 It is a phone for all those consumers who cannot reach the prices of Apple or Samsung, but want to have a capable phone in every way, so as not to feel that they have to limit themselves in its operation.

So that you have no doubt, we are going to tell you the 5 keys that make this special LITTLE X3.

In this way you will know why this terminal has caused so much expectation and why it will be the “lifeline” of many users with a limited budget, but who want a powerful and capable phone.

Design and display

As we have told you, it is a telephone with an adjusted price, which we will talk about later, in which we have features that are incorporated in terminals with much higher prices.

Its dimensions are 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4 mm with a weight of 215 grams. Its frame is made of aluminum, with a plastic rear end with a finish that makes this rear part not have the feeling of being made of this material, that is, it seems that we are facing a more noble material.

The screen is a panel 6.67 inch IPS LCD, with a screen-to-body ratio of 84.6%, resolution 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, 20: 9 ratio, 395 pixels per inch density, Gorilla Glass 5 as protection and HDR10 compatibility.

But the great novelty, something strange to see in the range in which the LITTLE X3It is the fact of incorporating a screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, standing at the height of terminals such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra or the Oppo Find X2 Pro.

These 120 Hz give the screen a vividness of movements and transitions that we do not see in the classic screens with 60 Hz, so we can say without fear of being wrong that the screen of the new LITTLE X3 It is situated in a privileged position within the range in which this phone is.

It is clear that this LCD panel does not give us the quality that we can have in OLED panels, but it does offer us a good level of color, contrast and sharpness, clearly aimed at people who, despite not being extremely demanding, do not want to give up a quality screen.

POCO X3: what we have inside

To move the whole set, the brand has considered that the Snapdragon 730G, along with 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage expandable via microSD card, that would be sufficient.

And it really is, since the performance is really good. Not in vain we are facing a processor that has not been given as much “hype” as the 865, but that is not far from its performance.

This processor is really good, with a surprising speed of response for not being the highest range of Qualcomm, which shows that the North American company has given a lot of importance to its “mid-range” processors.

The only but that we can put to the set that moves the entire terminal is that the 6 GB of RAM memory can remain somewhat fair for the future, although today they are more than enough.

The software that comes in the LITTLE X3 it is MIUI 12 based on Android 10. As we have already mentioned many times, MIUI is an interface that practically completely hides what is pure Android, although in return it offers us infinite possibilities for customization and security.

Cameras

In the photographic section we have sensors that, a priori, should give many joys to the future owners of this terminal.

Main, wide angle: 64 MP (Sony IMX682), f / 1.9, 1 / 1.73 “, 0.8 µm, PDAF.

Ultra wide angle: 13 MP, f / 2.2, 119˚, 1.0 µm.

Macro: 2 MP, f / 2.4.

Depth: 2 MP, f / 2.4.

This terminal is capable of recording video in 4K at 30 fps, 1,080p at 30/120 fps or 720p at 960 fps.

The photos in general are of good quality with really good photography results both in sharpness and in contrast and color, although the shutter speed is clearly improvable.

In night photos, the light capture is limited if we do not use the “night mode”, but when using it, the brightness of the photos is greatly amplified, achieving greater clarity in the photographs, although you do not expect them to be the best in their range, since noise is not exactly limited.

The front camera is 20 MP with 2.2 focal aperture and 1,080p video recording at 30 fps. A sufficient camera to shoot our selfies, as long as there is good lighting.

POCO X3: Autonomy

The LITTLE X3 ride a huge battery of 5,160 mAh with system 33W fast charge With which it is possible to have more than 60% of the battery charges in just 30 minutes.

Between the processor, a screen that does not consume too much and the good optimization of the software, we can talk about a terminal with which many users could reach up to two 2 days of autonomy.

Breakthrough price

From POCO (Xiaomi sub-brand) they knew perfectly that everything we have told you would not be viable if the price “got out of hand” so they decided to adjust it completely and it is more than clear that they got it.

POCO X3 (6GB + 64GB): 229 euros (199 euros on reservation).

POCO X3 (6GB + 64GB): 269 ​​euros (249 euros on reservation).

East LITTLE X3 can be booked from September 8, 2020Those who reserve the 6 GB + 128 GB version will get a gift. Specifically, a Black Shark FunCooler, a fan to cool the smartphone.

It is clear that this LITTLE X3 It is an extremely interesting option for all those who do not have a high budget, but need a capable terminal.
