According to rumors, the Poco X3 Pro will feature the unannounced Snapdragon 860 SoC, which is reportedly the middle ground between the SD855 and SD865 in terms of performance. Past leaks have said that it will be a 4G only platform, meaning it should get better battery life as well.
Other than that, we also expect to see 6/128 GB and 8/256 GB memory configurations, a 120Hz display, and a 5,200 mAh battery with fast charging.
The Poco X3 Pro is rumored to cost just under $290 at launch.
