Our Take
Fir of all there is no major difference between the NFC and the Indian variant of Poco X3. Here the company has upgraded the Indian version with a bigger 6,000mAh battery and another higher 8GB of RAM with 128GB of storage. While all the specification remains the same on both the devices. But in terms of pricing, we think Poco X2 could be a better buy as the processor is the same with almost similar rear camera details. Though it has a smaller battery, but also supports a 33W fast charging and it also features a similar display with a dual punch hole to house two selfie cameras that are not provided on both the models of X3. So at lesser pricing, you get all the features that a good gaming phone should have if you go for Poco X2.
