You are going to be hearing a lot about POCO for the next couple of weeks as the company is all set to launch the POCO X3 series. The global event on March 22nd is expected to see the launch of both POCO X3 as well as the Pro variant. In India, however, it looks like we'll only be getting the POCO X3 Pro.

We already know quite a bit about both phones but the standard POCO X3 variant has popped up online. Yes, we have our very first look at what appears to be the official renders of the POCO X3. Before we talk about the render and the phone's design, here's what it looks like -

Ishan Agarwal's tweet gives us our first look at the phone in three colour variants - White, Black, and Blue. We don't know what these colours will be officially called just yet. If you have seen the Redmi K40, then there's nothing new here. It looks exactly like the Redmi K40, barring a few obvious changes.

The blue colour variant of the phone seems to have a unique pattern at the back but both the white as well as the black ones are plain and simple. There's a triple-camera setup at the back along with a POCO 5G branding. On the front, we see a punch-hole cut out on the display and a relatively large bottom bezel.

We don't have any info on the specs just yet but it's expected to be a rebranded Redmi K40. The Redmi K40 is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 870G chip and comes with up 12GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The triple-camera setup at the back is expected to include a 48MP sensor. It will also have a 120Hz Super AMOLED panel on the front.

POCO X3 Release Date

POCO is expected to debut both the X3 as well as the X3 Pro tomorrow for the global market. In India, as mentioned earlier, it looks like we are only getting the Pro variant of the phone on March 30 and it is also said to be packed with powerful internals.
