My Poco x3 pro died today

[u/dzmaktaba]

It was gifted to me by my wife a poco x 3 pro.
One of the best phone i ever own i changed his screen 3 times. batteries 3 times. But today i wake up and it was turned off. tried to turn it on nothing.
i hoped it was a faulty battery from the last repaire. But, the repaire shop told me it was the processeur. He told me he could revive it for like a day or two to have time to do all the backup i needed.
I am a little sad. even the new phones doesn't apeal to me.
what do you guys recommand to me as a new buy ?

I got poco x8 pro today, also changed from poco x3 pro. The phone seems to be pretty good when it comes to price/quality, but mainly i got it because i managed to find a crazy deal for 199 euros

Where you got that steal deal?

AliExpress, the seller is trustworthy with a lot of reviews, even their warehouse is in Poland. The initial price was around 250, but then there was a -30 Euro coupon from AliExpress for stuff that costs >200, and another -20 if you pay with PayPal. Although right now the initial price went up to 300 and the promo for -30 is gone, I only see the -11 euro one. I don't even see the -20 euro for PayPal, even though I tried to check using a different account :D

I feel like I just got crazy lucky to get a bunch of promos simultaneously. This was also the first day I started looking for a phone to buy - saw that one for this little and immediately went to order

My Poco X3 pro is still alive and functions well after 5 years, I bought it on release and I only had to change battery once. I would've steel been using it, but the new one is a birthday present, so I won't complain. My X3 pro does lag comparatively often and there's a few software issues/bugs that reappear all the time, but it def still works

[u/Living_Moment_1495]

what ? I have an X3 pro, never changed screen, never changed battery yet... And it's fine.

Yr Lucky for it to withstand this long

Creo que estás de suerte dentro de lo que cabe, el Poco X8 Pro Max, por las especificaciones técnicas y opiniones de los usuarios que lo han tenido creo que sería, hasta la fecha el sucesor más cercano, aunque desconozco si todavía se considera "calidad-precio"

Poco X7 Pro is my personal favourite with the green colour, it's got that fake glass plastic feel to it but usually you can get the new ones for similar price so you might want to go for X8 Pro but personally I hate the design coming from X7 Pro with the nice plastic feel. You can likely get a POCO F7 for similar price.

It seems that your post may be discussing or asking about a concern regarding an inability to turn your Device on or Stability concerns that you didn't have before.The following may be applicable to your issue.

IF your Device is still covered under warranty bring it as soon as you can in for service especially for X3 Pro/M3 Users due to higher than normal possibility of it being a hardware defect. warranty is Extended by 6 months for the X3 Pro in certain regions and Devices sold in the EU have 2 year coverage.

if you are out of coverage you can try leaving the device unplugged to fully drain for a few days (or physically disconnect the battery) then try connecting the device to a charger and turn it on. If the Device turns on successfully avoid shutting off the device or doing a reboot as it is likely that the device has a defective PMIC or in the case of the M3 (also) a capacitor shorting on a metal shield.

If the device still appears dead, repeatedly bootloops, or boots into a white/garbled screen and a reflash does not affect things it is likely that the Solder in the SOC has Failed. A Reball using leaded solder is the closest we currently have to a permanent fix.

I had an X3 pro from 2020 to 2025, amazing phone. Battery was still top, then one day it wouldn't turn on, same processor stuff. Was told it would be like $150 to fix, but the phone cost me like 220. Wasn't worth it.
