Hey everybody hopes you guys are all doing safe. So this is the Poco x3 pro. If you watch my videos regularly, you may remember that last year I reviewed the Poco x3 NFC and I called it the best value smartphone of 2020. Well, this Poco x3 pro is an update of that, so the phone looks quite similar on the outside, but on the inside it's gotten some major spec pump. So the chip inside now is a snapdragon 860. So this is a seven nanometer chipset, it's basically a turbocharged version of the snapdragon 855 plus the type of memory being used in this phone has also been bumped up.
It is now UFS, 3.1 storage, so it's much faster than the UFS 2.1 that was used in the Poco x3 NFC and, of course, you still have a very large vibrant, 120 hertz display and a really large battery of 5 160 William hour. In fact, for this video I wanted to highlight the Poco x3 pro's battery endurance, because I've been using this phone as my daily driver for the past three days, and I'm just blown away by the battery endurance of this phone, like I would finish entire days with over 50 battery life left. So that means this phone is almost a two-day phone for me. So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna. Do a series of battery tests pitting the Poco x3 pro against the Realme a pro, because this is also one of the more recent releases from real me, and they're priced around the same price.
I'm also going to throw in the galaxy s21 ultra, because this phone has a 5 000 million battery, which is really close to the five thousand one hundred sixty million battery in here. Okay, so I have the app load on all three phones, as you can see right now, all three phones battery are at one hundred percent. All three phones have maximum screened brightness connected to the same Wi-Fi with Bluetooth on, so I'm just going to hit the start button on all three of these. So now this has just begun: I'm going to start the timer right now, so we have the Poco x3 pro here, room a pro here and a galaxy s21 ultra-right here. Okay, one hour is almost up.
So let's take a look at all three of these phones' battery life. Let's just stop the test right now and then make the screen a little more visible. Okay, so the Poco x3 pro after one hour of this test has 79 battery life and the battery temperature is at 42 degrees. The Realme April, 72 battery life and the temperatures are 42.4 degrees Celsius. Now the galaxy s21 ultra 74 battery life and battery temperatures are 42.4 upgrades.3 pro has the lowest temperature 41 degrees, so that's over one and a half degrees uh cooler than the s21 ultra in the Realme a pro. So you can chalk up this wind to the poker, x3 pro's bigger battery, but also the multi-layer graphite cooling system, with a heat pipe buried underneath that snapdragon 860 soc, okay.
So, moving on to the second part of the test, what I'm going to do is I'm going to play an hour, long YouTube video with the volume at max the highest volume level and screen brightness at the highest screen brightness. All three of these phones are at 100 max brightness right now, and the volume are at the highest possible volume, and this is an hour long, video of the California coast. So this is a continuation of the first test, so the battery has not been recharged back up. So that means the poker x3 000 start with 76 percent battery life. The Realme April has 71 percent and the galaxy s21 ultra has 73 percent on the stock timer.
Okay, let's lower the volume I've been sitting here for an hour with this blasting, my ears are hurting okay, so the Poco x3 pro has 68 battery left, that's pretty good! It was at 77. I believe, when I play one hour of video at max volume and max brightness, the real me. A pro is a 62 battery life and the galaxy s21 ultra is at 61. So this is where the Poco x3 pro's battery life is starting to pull away from the galaxy s21 ultra. You have 68 right here versus 61.
Both of these are very similar sized batteries. Okay, it is like 5.27 am right now, but we're going to run one more test so right now, all three of these phones are at eighty percent battery or either 80 or 81. So close enough they're, all around 80 we're going to run this PC mark battery 2.0 test. So what this test will do? Is it's going to push the phone very heavily doing all sorts of intensive tasks? So you see right now it's going to do web browsing and after that, it's going to work, the GPU, the CPU and all this time it's gonna blast the screen brightness on and off on and off like that too, and to keep doing all this until the phone gets to 20 battery life, at which point the test will stop, and it will show you how long the phone lasted under the 80 to 20 drain okay. So surprisingly, the galaxy s21 finished last in this PC mark battery 2.0 test. So the galaxy s4 ultra only lasted 9 hours and 20 minutes, which is a good but not great score.
The Realme a pro, as you can see, just bowed out a couple of minutes ago, and it lasted 13 hours and one minute now, the poker x3 pro is still going right now, but we know for sure it beat the Realme a pro. These two phones costs around the same price and the galaxy s 21 ultra. These two phones have almost the exact same battery size. Now. One thing to keep in mind is that the galaxy s21 ultra costs like five times or four times as much as the Poco x3 pro.
So, if you're on the market for a good value entry level mid to your phone, the poker x3 pro is probably the best that you're going to get right now. We know that this is a battery beast. It has a much faster screen, 120 hertz panel, compared to the 60 hertz panel or the Realme a pro, and it has a more powerful chipset, a snapdragon 860 compared to the snapdragon 720 g and the poker x, 3 pros main camera does a perfect job during the day and at night, as long as you turn on night mode, you're going to get a very vibrant shot too. So there are not a lot of shortcomings when it comes to poker, x3 pro if you're looking at it from just a pure battery endurance point of view. We know that this is the battery beast of 2021, at least so far.
So anyway, that's about it for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Please subscribe to my channel if you liked it I'll be back for more content. Thanks for watching.
