The Poco X3 NFC comes out next week as the first phone Equipped with the latest Snapdragon 732G chipset from Qualcomm. We've seen a number of teasers for the phone over the past week, and the company has now announced that it will roll out globally on September 7th.

Poco will also be hosting a live stream for the Poco X3's NFC launch, but has not yet revealed any details about the virtual event. Check out the brand's tweet below.

Pocos India General Manager, C Manmohan, also has tweeted about the upcoming announcement of the Poco X3 NFC. "I hope all Indian POCO fans enjoy what's in the pipeline," he wrote in his tweet, indicating that the Poco X3 will soon be launched in the country as well.

Poco X3 NFC: what can you expect?

The Poco X3 NFC will be the first smartphone to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 732G chipset. The new platform is a small upgrade to the Snapdragon 730G, which powers devices like the Google Pixel 4a, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Poco X2.

Elsewhere, it confirms that the Poco X3 NFC sports a fresh design that doesn't mimic an existing Redmi or Xiaomi phone. The phone has been confirmed to have a 64-megapixel quad camera. Leaked specs also indicate a display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a battery of 5,160 mAh and a selfie shooter of 20 MP.

The price of the Poco X3 NFC is not yet known, but the X2 sold in India for the equivalent of under $ 300. The X3 could also be available in the same price range, although there is no guarantee that it will.

Poco positions the X3 NFC as a direct competitor to the OnePlus Nord, which has a more powerful processor and 5G connectivity. However, a good smartphone experience doesn't just depend on the hardware. Take the Pixel 4a for example. The Snapdragon 730G on the Google phone feels just as fluid and is on par with the Nord (if not sometimes better than this) with its superior Snapdragon 765G chip.

With that in mind, we'll be putting the Poco X3 NFC through its paces when we receive the phone for testing. Let's see if we can beat the OnePlus and Google Mid-Rangers in our comprehensive comparisons.
