There's definitely something with the thermal management of the processor, as evidenced by the difference in Antutu scores hot vs cold where I see 30% difference, low 70000 versus > 100000 - and by "hot" I mean after 10 minutes of browsing, not playing intense games.
That said, compared to a similar spec phone like Elephone S8 the Redmi Pro looks pretty good. With a similar battery rating and X25 if I leave both idle the Redmi Pro still has 35% charge when the Elephone S8 hits zero. Yes the Elephone has a larger screen, but by idle I mean mostly just sitting there with the screen off.
Can't comment on the Moto X Play but if the Snapdragon 615 is anything like the 625 in, say, the Redmi Note 4X then battery life will blow it out of the water and performance will remain pretty much constant (it never gets "hot hot"). But... so here's the thing, in Antutu the performance never reaches the heights of the X25 at it's hottest/worst.
Hi,
I have Poco X2 and been using it for more than a month. I notice more temperatures even when not gaming and I saw some people got temperature warnings while using camera for more time. Realme X2 and Poco X2 have same chipsets but i see realme phone doesnt gets heat even while gaming and this poco also has LIQUID COOLING(whats the point of it). Is this software or hardware issue?. Can I believe that this issue be fixed after good software update?
It's one or two cases my phone never heats up, i play pubg on hdr settings (taking advantage of hdr display) and its warm to touch but never reached uncomfortable levels.

yes it does heat up quite often. i feel it heats up more than other phones with same config. if i play a little or watch youtube while chagring it gets approx 40 degrees or even more. Dont know how they implemented the cooling system but its definetly doesnt work
hi all, i just used cc9 pro. I am in miui 11.1.2 global. I only use facebook, youtube and chrome. My device has a screen on time of just over 6.5 hours. I'm quite disappointed about the 5260 mAh battery of cc9 pro, with the same usage, my mate 20 (4000mah) can be onscreen more than 7 hours.
Is there a better rom for my device or my device is failing?
Thanks all.
Very strange. All reviews I have seen on this (and the "regular" Mi Note 10 - in principle the same phone), says the battery runtime/SOT should be better than what you experience.
GSMarena: 95h endurance rating, 3G talk time 33:34h, web browsing 12:32h, video playback 22:20h
Notebookcheck: idle 35:34h, wifi web browsing 18:47h, video 1080p: 23:43h, load (maximum brightness): 6:27h

Hi, I am thinking to buy x3 Pro, but at first i want to know if all problems are already fixed.
I read a lot of comments about problems, but most of these comments are 3+ months old, so...
1) under load it gets very hot. Throttling...
Just by running Antutu benchmark few times, you see how score drops over 100K.
2) Touch issues
3) lags in games, Laggy UI, delay when scrolling
4) fast battery drain
5) network Issues, unstable data connection
6) unexpected shutdowns, screen freezes
7) back panel vibration when audio is playing
There are more, but these are most common.
I hope most of these problems come from their "amazing" MiUI, and can be fixed.
I can only confirm point 7 but it's not so noticable unless you are banging music at high volume.
No heat issues but then i'm not running Antutu over and over. No touch issues here but some people mentioned it. Laggy UI? First time hearing this lmao. It's butter smooth even on MIUI. I get 3 days of battery life with 10h SoT on average with 120Hz, i dont think it's bad.. plus i'm using navigation (GPS) and camera quite abit, you can probably get more than that easily. Never had any network or random shutdown issues (almost 20 days uptime, since last update of ArrowOS) probably some people with magisk / mods reported it.

I would agree, although I'm not going so good SoT (but since I'm a light user I still get very good battery life).
Never forget that people report issues, not good experiences. If you look at each indvividual grievance, you'll never buy any phone anyway
"i'm not running Antutu over and over"
It's just one of ways to put your phone under load and immediately see/compare results.
Many smartphone reviewers do this test to see if phone will throttle.
Check this video:
I found video where we can see x3 pro from inside.
On the left is x3 NFC and on the right x3 Pro.
Very interesting decision for x3 pro.
There is copper tape, instead of metallic plate.
Plus, you see that thermal paste is only on memory (3x pro).
If they don't use paste and there is not enough pressure then heat will not be dissipated by pipe.
And here you can see how much they use thermal paste between tape and pipe.
3 small lines on CPU and a bit for memory.
Just look how much more contact surface is on x3 NFC.
Now i understand why x3 pro is so hot.
If your x3 pro is not hot, then you are lucky (there is enough pressure/paste).
If you are not lucky, then idk. It's faulty phone.
1. Yes, the phone gets really hot, but that is only while gaming, especially when on mobile data. I just bought a cheap cooler and everything is fine
2. I had problems on AncientOS only, now on Crdroid i dont have it
3. Games dont lag, ofc u cant play Genshin Impact maxed out, but overall the gaming experience is smooth. On Crdroid i have no problems with scrolling, but i also use Samsung Browser and Relay for Reddit, Chrome and Reddit app were laggy even on custom roms
4. Battery drain is a problem of MIUI, on custom roms i get 8-10h of screen time from 100-20%, but i feel like i should get more than 2-3h of gaming
5. & 6. No problems
7. Yes, the back of the phone vibrates while listening at max volume, which is to be expected with how loud the speakers are and i dont see how this is a problem. Did the people who complain about this ever hold a speaker? Even overhead headphones vibrate while listening at high volume.

wait, only 2-3 hours of gaming and battery is empty?
"Yes, the phone gets really hot, but that is only while gaming"
I think we all will agree that it shouldn't be like this. Either Chipset is hotter than they expected and cooling solution used in older models can't handle it. In this case they had to slightly undervolt/downclock. Or they have huge % of faulty phones (cooling problem) and they simply close eyes on it.
But maybe it all goes by the plan. They know that chip will be hot, but it's fast and it's enough to get good sales.
Yes, its around that, but i mostly play CoD mobile and Wild Rift maxed out, so that might play into that.
I also agree that the cooling solution isn't that good to use this phone to the max and no update will ever fix it without a performance drop. Honestly this device would have been better suited with a SD855, the SD860 is too hot for the device, or at least the body of the phone didnt allow for a better cooling solution. But i guess they didnt want to have a 2 years old chip in a new phone, even if overall that would allow the phone to work faster for a longer period of time.

It's not normal. It's defect, same as cooling system.
Here you can see comparison with Redmi Note 10 Pro at max volume.
Being honest i really dont mind it, actually i enjoy it, the speakers feel powerful.
I feel many of the bugs described on first post and I find it a real shame what POCCO has done with this phone. Cheap phone? Yes! Powerfull? Yes! and... It works as expected? No!
On the other side, there are more than 10 different ROMs available for this phone and most of them are the same. Same bugs and same problems but with different skin.
I loved this phone but after see how it evolves, i feel like i did a bad investiment. Next time i will go for Realme.

I had some of the these issues when I was on miui and before unlocking BL. Phone gets warm during gaming which is perfectly normal and on par with other phones.
I sold my galaxy note 10+ for poco x3 pro, it was the best decision I made this year. Gaming got better with no throttling on custom rom, more fluid, better battery life, native google ui.

how many hours you can play games, or watch videos?
For example, on Realme 8 you can play pubg 6-7 hours (14%/h). On poco x3 pro, around 4 hours (23%/h) But can you squeeze 6+ gameplay hours from x3 pro on lower settings?

I haven't tested that long prolonged gameplays. My comment was against my previous phones - galaxy note 10+ and black shark 2 and it easily lasts for 2 days for my usage. But 4 hrs in 23%/h is still a good life, isn't it? don't get killed yourself playing for so long

Pointless comparison, Realme 8 SoC is about twice slower. It's like comparing if Ferrari or Volkswagen Golf will empty their fuel tanks first. Ofcourse Ferrari will but there is a reason for that. Not to mention 120 vs 60 Hz screen.

Dude turn off this "protective" mode. I am not comparing, i am asking question.
I understand, you own this phone and it's most amazing thing you ever had.
"It's like comparing if Ferrari or Volkswagen Golf"
Reality is that there are more powerful phones on smaller batteries and they live way longer then poco x3 pro. For example poco F3 with 4520 mAh. Even if x3 pro has 5160 mAh, it's battery is empty at point where F3 has more then 20%. And both phones has 120Hz screens. Only difference is that F3 has amoled display.
k3lcior, i am asking question (it's not comparison): why F3 with smaller battery lives way longer? Is it because of amoled display? Is it because of chip which is hot as hell? or?
if we compare processors:
Snapdragon 870 vs Snapdragon 860: tests and benchmarks
We put Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 against Snapdragon 860 to find out which SoC is better. See performance comparison in benchmarks and games.
nanoreview.net
we see that "Efficiency of battery consumption" is the same, so problem shouldn't be in cpu.
so, amoled display does all magic?
I'm not defensive and no it's not most amazing thing i ever had. And yes you are not comparing, but you are asking to compare no?

It does save battery when there are blacks on the screen because they are not 'powered' on AMOLED screens on that large screen it can make large difference. There are also more small details which also can make some difference for example SD card slot, Poco F3 doesn't have one and Poco X3 Pro has one which has to be powered at all times.
Not to mention GSM signal, small signal difference can easily make several % battery life difference which can be easily manipulated hence why these comparisons are idiotic.
And btw. here is less than 40 min. difference in battery life from what i see.
Edit: Also UFS 3.1 in Poco F3 is more power efficient compared to UFS 3.0 in X3 Pro.
Question was, if on poco x3 pro you can squeeze out 6+ hours of pubg gameplay (even on low quality).
Everything else was just additional info.
Why i am asking? Many poco x3 pro owners wrote that battery life is bad. I am trying to understand if problem is software based, or hardware. If software, it can be fixed, if hardware, then you have powerful phone with bad battery life. If F3 and X3 Pro are both on the same soft, then seems that problem is hardware based (IPS screen).
I saw this test and F3 has 24% of battery when x3 pro dies:

hi people i am curious about undervolting and underclocking. is there a possibility that i can make my phone more enerrgy saver?? i don't need too much performance, i am just playing pubg at lowest settings 60fps and thee phone gives more than i need (i think). So... i need enough performance and longer battery life. what can i do
The biggest power consumer in the device is probably the display and not the CPU/GPU. Even if you undervolt, it's only a few millivolts anyway and that would hardly do anything. Setting the display as dark as possible would probably be the most efficient, although this won't work miracles either.

Of course, the CPU/GPU of the X3 NFC (5W TDP) consumes significantly less power compared to the X3 Pro (10W TDP), which means that the Screen On Time is higher compared to the X3 Pro. A computer with a Core i3 CPU and a GTX 1650 Super also consumes less power than a Core i7 with a RTX 3060 Ti. You can of course undervolt the CPU/GPU of the X3 Pro, but you will probably never get the power consumption close to the X3 NFC. The cores architecture, clock rates, the internal memory and the memory bus + RAM speed used in both devices are also different, so that you can't really compare them.
The SD860 is about twice as fast as the SD732G (at least in synthetic gaming benchmarks), so it should be clear that this additional performance has to be bought with additional consumption somehow.

They are very similar but not identical. Nevertheless, the guide for the 9T Pro should probably serve as a good reference. In any case, make a backup beforehand, every chip reacts differently. I wish you the best of luck and let us know how it turned out.

Underclocking is not worth it.
I did a full-time test on NoGravity Kernel with PC Mark. Way worse performance and a ridiculous 30minutes gain (minimum screen brightness)
Left is normal balanced Profile. Right is battery saver with reduced maximum frequency.

Approximately half of the CPU cores would have to be deactivated completely and even then the 720g would probably still have the edge in terms of power consumption, because the GPU of the SD860 also has three times as many shader units as that of the 720g and accordingly it consumes more power.
Years ago I played around a lot with UC/UV on smartphones, but in the end it wasn't really worth it. And it seems that it's still not worth the effort, as Haldi4803 has shown with his post.

Battery saver preset already reduces big cores to 1400mhz or something like that.
You see performance from 12'000 to 8'500 which is about 30% performance drop. But there is no 30% Battery life increase, but only 3%.
Might be different for GPU underclocking. But I haven't really taken a lookt at that,as I don't play games on my phone.

No. Both started properly at 100%. The app just fails.
You can see the 2nd screenshot go down to 20% at Pass 80 but then still going over pass 120.

Thank you
i got two simple solutions.
1) set framerate in pubg to smooth and low at the beginning of the game. when you go for fights just increase it to extreme. also set low framerate in lobby. this will definitely keep device cool and save a lot of battery.
2) use venella os and freeze all the apps with icebox app. leave only few apps this will also makes device cooler while playing games personally i have noticed calyx os keeps this device very cool.
