Comparing Xiaomi's Poco X3 GT vs the Poco X3 Pro, to see which budget smartphone of 2021 is best for you. Here's a side-by-side review of the camera tech, gaming performance, battery life and MiUI 12 features. Check out my Poco X3 GT unboxing for a full tour, and my review of the Pro and the Poco F3!

Both of these affordable phones offer strong specs for the price, including a punchy 120Hz IPS screen with 120Hz refresh. Speed isn't a problem either, for gamers wanting to play PubG, CODM or Gensin Impact. The Pro packs a 7nm Snapdragon 860 chipset, while the 6nm Mediatek Dimensity 1100 powers the Poco X3 GT. This also delivers 5G support, on top of WiFi 6 connectivity.

For battery life, both of these budget blowers are brilliant. But only the GT can charge in around 40 minutes with the 67W fast charging support. As for the camera, well, the Poco X3 GT is best for everyday shots with its 64MP primary sensor. However, the Pro performs better in low light and has the best selfie camera.
