I literally got my Poco X3 pro repaired recently, I had to replace the main flex cable, charge type c port in my Poco X3 pro and replace the internal battery to go along with that 😁. It Allende's being nicely repaired and it's like my phone is brand new and got a fresh start to a new lease of life 📱
@@zptrk_Lol no,if this model you should reball the cpu and try to turn on the phone ,if its not fried,then it will turn on. otherwise you have to buy new cpu from amazon and put it on the board.
My poco x3 pro's battery is dying and it drains faster than before. This video helped me to change my phone's battery and now everything seems good. The battery drains much slower like when I just got this phone. Thank you so much for this brother! 🥂
Good video. Had to replace the charging port and power button after roughly over 2 years. The power button was honestly a pain in the ass, but other than that this was one of the easiest phones I've ever repaired.
Thank you for this video. My Xiaomi X3 Pro had stopped charging. I had installed a new USB-C board, but that brought no success. The problem was that I had not attached the rubbers of the old board, which were installed around the USB-C slot on the new board. That was the missing key :) its working now. 17 € for saving this gem of a smartphone.
@DANIEL CHUKWUKERE So, the over heating is caused by demanding graphics and the battery drains fast because of the heat or because of the graphics itself?.
god tier job . clean explanation and video . now i can replace battery on my own. there's a lot of problem on charging circuit too . and i have to wait a week to fix this. wow i can just do it myself in hours. you save me! thx a lot
Primer comentario en español 😜😎 Excelente video, me gustó mucho ver lo bien explicado que haces la demostración del desmontaje, bastante útil al momento de necesitar cambiar algún componente de mi POCO X3 PRO. Saludos desde Venezuela 🤗
@@Die_Alone_One yes, somewhere in that area. 2:54 if you look on the video you can see if you watch a little further the location of the processor. The area with the most thermal paste sandwich over the copper plate. 😊😊
3:22 very strange poco did not put thermal paste on the SoC that's why the heating issues and some are bricked because of that design mistake, It feel me to put a better thermal paste because that's little to me
You're right, usually there would be a thermal pad or paste between the copper tape and the processor as well, but the tape is very flush with the processor so I guess it still does the job since it has the thermal paste on top of the tape still. Not sure what the reason was for not also including one in between the processor and tape, maybe space? no clue.
hi! thank you for your great video the POCO X3 PRO has some heating issues but the NFC model does not have this problem! i can clearly see why! the PRO model does not have any thermal paste on the chipset!!! isn't that right?
You're welcome. Yes you are correct, it seems it has thermal paste on the outside but none over the chipset itself. Seems kind of odd why they would not include it. Usually some sort of thermal paste or a thermal pad is needed to properly draw heat away from the chipset to the other heat transfer materials.
@@PBKreviewsso my poco x3 pro bricked. Completely dead. How can it be repaired without losing info stored on it? I have taken it in for repairs but they are not sure what is wrong.
Hi! What kind of adhesive you use? And maybe you know for what reason this phone discharged to quickly? And why u battery li-ion but about my battery in some apps writing like li-pol?
Hi do you know if there is any way to reduce the vibration of the phone, since apparently when the sound is considerably loud the rear and bottom begins to vibrate noticeably, it can be a bit annoying.
Jerry would be proud.. an easy to repair budget upper midrange spec phone, and the best thing is that the parts that break or wear out the most are easily replaceable, like the battery, charging port, display... It's better for everyone.
@@gamewewersder4583 that's unfortunate, but I can relate as my device is shutting down randomly, but only while being used. It works for photo and video taking however, so it's not completely useless just yet. I have went back to my old phone, which after a factory reset is about as speedy as before.
@ 2:12 I can see that there are 4 lens on the camera module but when you take it off it just shows one big lens on the lower right (in my pov) so does that mean that the other 3 lenses are just for aesthetic/design purposes? Please correct me if I'm wrong and please do enlighten me on this as I'm new to your channel.
Hi, all the cameras are real and work. You can see those other 3 camera lens cables disconnected from the main board prior to taking off that assembly which holds those 3 cameras. And welcome to the channel :)
Is there any piece that holds the volume buttons? The repair guy I've sent this said the buttons were in pieces when he opened. He just made some fixes so that the buttons are tactile except the button keeps falling from the case and only the vol down is working
If you can find a replacement button, you can pull the old one out and push in the replacement. It just pops in from what I can tell on this phone. Nothing really internally holding it in place.
Can i know which part are keep our data and files? I have something important in there but i don't want send it to repair because i don't trust anybody with it
I usually try not to use different thermal paste since every type of thermal paste has a conductivity rating. Some are more conductive vs others based of the type of material they are composed of. Using something more conductive can cause your phone to short if the thermal paste gets onto other chips or between resistors making a connection between two chips and so forth.
Im not able to remove the backplate. 3 questions. 1) how safe is it to apply heat? 2) Whats the estimate time of applying heat (with a hair dryer) before im able to remove it? 3) do i need a special item to do so or is for example a guitar pick sufficient? Thank you for the video!
Hi, its safe, just use a hair dryer instead of a heat gun which is safer against damaging anything. You can gradually heat it so its hot to the touch, just move it around all areas to evenly heat it up. Then you can use a suction cup tool to help you lift up and pull up a side or corner to get your guitar pick in, then you can apply more heat as you work your way around prying it off. You can always use a metal tool like a razor blade etc to get in between the glass and frame without using a suction cup tool, but you would scratch up the frame.
It looks like no electrically conductive parts behind the back cover just insulated battery, NFC antena, and sub-board cover, right? Planned to buy custom aluminum back cover to replace the original plastic one, the seller and review say it's precise. But I still doubt if it can screw with something. Also does adding adhesive necessary or loosened post-disassbembly one is enough to hold it in place?
You would need to apply new adhesive to hold it in place, but keep in mind the aluminum will block signal on the back. There are antenna lines drawn on the top and bottom plastic covers (motherboard cover and speaker assembly cover) as well as nfc antenna.
I'm using Poco X3 Pro 😊 but I want to ask you one question: why is this phone is slightly heavy 215g... Is there any reason... Or inside the Copper Liquid cooling plate makes it weight..???
Hoi, i know i'm late to the party but i just noticed something funneh... The X3 NFC and the X3 Pro seem to have literally the same layout between them, Would you think that if i would take the logic board of the X3 Pro, will it fit the X3 NFC variant? i dunno, a ghetto upgrade, i'd say but would it be feasible? :D
Looking at the design it look like most of the heat produced by soc is dissipated to the screen by a heat pipe, i wonder if i put a thermal pad on the back of the soc so that the heat can transfer more efficiently to the back cover would work. Or a paste if a pad is too thick?
I'm not sure if it would help much but I don't see it being a bad thing. In general, replacing the thermal compound or paste on this phone to a better one should help a bit.
It's definitely possible. The thermal paste was not the best I have seen lol. Replacing it could help, also the copper heat pipe looked much cheaper than the one used in the prior X3.
These are on offer on Amazon UK right now, along with F3. £229 and £299 respectively - or close to that anyway. Edit: X3 Pro 8/256GB = £229 - F3 5G 8/256GB = £329 and £199 & £299 for the 128GB models in several colours.
Hey bro, this is a very late comment so im not sure if you will see this but if u do then please reply to this question, I have heard certain poco x3 pros do not have thermal paste on top of the SoC and which is also a good reason for death issue of poco x3 pro, alongside the 732g frame which is being used by the sd860. Are all these info true❓ And like yesterday my phone had a white screen with a blue tint in the middle, is this a sign that it will die soon and i should get it reballed + thermal pasted❓
Hi. Not sure exactly what is causing those issues if it was a bad soldering job on the board or if its the overheating etc. But yeah the thermal paste wasn't the best which was applied on these phones, so you can always replace it with better thermal paste. Just don't use anything that is highly conductive since if it leaks, it will short the phone. Also the issue you said could be both a screen issue or board issue so not sure.
Great video! Do you know if I can put the LCD screen of the Poco X3 NFC in a Poco X3 Pro? Is there will be any problem of software compatibility? Thank you in advanced
@PBKreviews, Nice Disassembly Teardown video, My phone Poco X3 pro is getting switched OFF automatically and ON automatically while using some heavy app/game. Please reply whether it is a battery problem or motherboard problem. I'm still using the phone since Oct'2021. Battery doesn't look like swollen in the back.
The wire cable you're talking about there in the side of the phone. May I know what does it do? Mine got broke, don't know where to buy replacement for that little black wire cable. Since the wire cable broke, the super fast charging stops. It is now charging at slow rate.
The coaxial cable are usually used for antenna connections but sometimes related to charging as well. It's usually hard to find a specific model replacement coaxial cable, but you can try using one from a different phone model but will be a bit of trial and error cable length wise etc. Here is a link for some for a different model phone: www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=coaxial+cable
@@PBKreviews I'm losing hope. I found a replacement for the cable but the fast charging is still not registering :(. Is there a way to charge the battery separately? Like a circuit or something?
@@johnroseortiz5836 Hi, there is no external way that I know of, but another thing you can try is to replace the charging port board/sub board itself and see if that is the part that is defective.
Bro una duda, es normal que algún componente resalte un poco por la parte de la tapa?, en mi caso se nota un bulto mínimo en la tapa casi no se nota, solo se ve en algunos ángulos
Hi, I don't have the poco x3 anymore so I can't do a side by side, however I have a video of the poxo x3 teardown as well you can watch and open the videos side by side to see.
Hello bro. I have a Poco x3 pro. There is a small dot on the camera glass. But it does not interfere with the shooting. Do you think I need to change the camera glass?🙏
It would be up to you. To replace the camera glass, you would just have to heat up the glass portion of the camera glass cover and pry that off without having to take off the entire back.
Hi, when you have loose or broken charging port/sub board. What is the usual repair or what to solder? I always have the same problem in my 3 phones and it cost alot to fix over and over. Maybe you can help me by making a video. I hope you consider this. Thank you very much god bless
Your best bet would be to order a replacement sub board or charger port board and replace that board. Soldering requires special tools and experience to be able to replace just the charger port itself.
question? my vibrator motor stopped working, so watching your video i replaced with a new one, however it doesn't work very well. I can hear it but it doesn't vibrate. What else could be the problem
Last Friday i charged it in the train and it went out and stayed so , how can i recover my pictures or make it work again, should i buy one for parts or is chip reballing out of discussion?
@@venator7889 Thanks! Right now I don't make much from RUclips so I lose money on every video purchasing the phones. Hopefully in the future it will change. :)
one question, if I remove the secondary camera module to get rid of the bulge, the phone would still work with the main camera? just wondering, I know it's a dumb question ^^'
The phone would still work, but if you open the camera app, if any of the other camera modes are selected, it would freeze the app. Say for example you try to zoom out and it switches to a wide angle lens etc. then it would freeze the camera app since it can't find the camera.
Hi I have question. I have poco x3 pro which has 48 megapixel camera .i am thinking to buy poco x3 camera that has 64 mp camera and 12 mp ultrawide . Will it be possible to change .i will buy spare part of it .pls reply
Very detailed and excellent teardown Sir. Anyway, there is an annoying and aggresive vibration from, I dunno the vibration motor or speaker from this device. If I may ask, is the vibration motor removable? Or is there a way to minimize the vibration from the X3 Pro? Thank you.
Is it possible to retrieve pics and videos in my water damaged poco? its deadbot no power, nothing. The technician here said there's a second option is to implant the chip in another phone to retrieve it. is it possible? thank you. Great video. so clean and detailed.
Hi, it would be a possibility to de solder the storage chip and solder it on a working board but would be both expensive and not guaranteed. Have you tried taking apart the phone and drying it out, brushing off corrosion on chips and connectors and putting it back together to see if it will boot?
Hello mate, I literally don't have much of an idea about this technical stuff but I do have a question. How much is it going to cost if I were to have the battery replaced? Preferrably an authentic battery and also including the price of the labor. Oh and if needed, I am from the Philippines
Thanks for the review. Poco X3 Pro is a cool smartphone. 🔥✌️😎 Everything is fine, but it’s interesting, can I lubricate something over the processor or somewhere so that the phone doesn’t get very hot?
You can change the thermal paste and add a better thermal paste which can help. Just make sure not to use a thermal paste that is highly conductive so if it leaks or spreads to areas you don't want it to be, it won't short the phone.
My Poco X3 died today. After a couple of days were the screen went "blue" with an immediate restart following that, it now remains at a black screen. No more reaction when pressing any button and/or plugging the charger in. Which of the shown components could most likely be the culprit?
Thanks. Both the top and bottom plastic covers have antenna lines drawn through the plastic. As well as antenna contacts on the sub board and motherboard which touch parts of the frame. Not sure exactly which antenna is for which though.
Does the Gaming Cooler for phone, can do its job to cool the CPU or Processor? Because the Processor is on the right side of the Camera. Please answer me. TIA
Usually those external fans are to cool off the external housing/frame heat and not internally. It will help keep the outside of the phone cooler in effect help the internal temps slightly, but nothing extreme.
Can this phone add 5G chip? Like solder it or something. Cuz I hear this one should be have 5G external chip, but they decided to not add on it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not sure about the external chip but would not really be able to solder a 5G modem onto the phone board since it would not only require expert soldering skills but also additional resistors and software modifications as well.
what could be the problem of my phone i replace the sub board already, but the mics are still not working and keeps on shutting down when i will use my mic. i can verify my speakers charging ports are working
Might be possible, but i dont have the phones anymore to try. They seem to be the same connector size and locations but not sure if there will be a software issue or not.
Hi I've got this phone. But when I hold the phone on both sides and turn it either ways, something big MOVES inside! It shifts as per gravity! I'm worried.
Bro my poco X3 pro motherboard has some minor problems and display is not switching on due motherboard problem. Should I have to replace another motherboard ., Or it can be repaired ??
I'm not sure, how do you know it's your motherboard? If its a display connector issue, some place with experience and tools to replace the connector or display chip would need to do the repair. If its something more intensive, then you might need to replace the board but usually you can only find a board from someone selling the phone online for parts (for example like a broken screen phone so you can take the board out of that).
i send my phone to repair shop and like still they cant fix it after a month now im tired to wait for it.. cuz they keep saying they dont have the sparepart yet they said they cam fix it

3 Years after vide release. My mics are not working, is it possible to repair them or have to replace boards ? TNX
Amazing your expert!!!
Thank you!
Great video! Do you know if I can put the LCD screen of the Poco X3 NFC in a Poco X3 Pro? Is there will be any problem of software compatibility? Thank you in advanced
Hi, I believe it should be the same and work fine.
@PBKreviews, Nice Disassembly Teardown video, My phone Poco X3 pro is getting switched OFF automatically and ON automatically while using some heavy app/game. Please reply whether it is a battery problem or motherboard problem. I'm still using the phone since Oct'2021. Battery doesn't look like swollen in the back.
The wire cable you're talking about there in the side of the phone. May I know what does it do? Mine got broke, don't know where to buy replacement for that little black wire cable. Since the wire cable broke, the super fast charging stops. It is now charging at slow rate.
update, it does not even charge. It shows that it's charging but stuck in the same number
The coaxial cable are usually used for antenna connections but sometimes related to charging as well. It's usually hard to find a specific model replacement coaxial cable, but you can try using one from a different phone model but will be a bit of trial and error cable length wise etc. Here is a link for some for a different model phone: www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=coaxial+cable
@@PBKreviews I'm losing hope. I found a replacement for the cable but the fast charging is still not registering :(. Is there a way to charge the battery separately? Like a circuit or something?
@@johnroseortiz5836 Hi, there is no external way that I know of, but another thing you can try is to replace the charging port board/sub board itself and see if that is the part that is defective.
Bro una duda, es normal que algún componente resalte un poco por la parte de la tapa?, en mi caso se nota un bulto mínimo en la tapa casi no se nota, solo se ve en algunos ángulos
hmm not really, shouldn't have a bulge. Might be a loose screw or maybe the battery has swollen.
Please make a side my side comparison between poco x3 and poco x3 pro.
Hi, I don't have the poco x3 anymore so I can't do a side by side, however I have a video of the poxo x3 teardown as well you can watch and open the videos side by side to see.
Hello bro. I have a Poco x3 pro. There is a small dot on the camera glass. But it does not interfere with the shooting. Do you think I need to change the camera glass?🙏
It would be up to you. To replace the camera glass, you would just have to heat up the glass portion of the camera glass cover and pry that off without having to take off the entire back.
What is the difference between your own glass after repair?
@@ahmadovelgiz What do you mean
Hi, when you have loose or broken charging port/sub board. What is the usual repair or what to solder? I always have the same problem in my 3 phones and it cost alot to fix over and over. Maybe you can help me by making a video. I hope you consider this. Thank you very much god bless
Your best bet would be to order a replacement sub board or charger port board and replace that board. Soldering requires special tools and experience to be able to replace just the charger port itself.
Brow did it have over heating issue
I'm looking for buy it please reply
I didn't use to for too long to notice any overheating.
OK brow
Can you tell the approximate time which cause over heating
1:35 Can I add graphene copper sheet there?
Not bad. Keep it up Sir ☺️ Godbless 😘
Thanks!
hi man! is poco x3 screen compatible with poco x3 pro ? i cracked my poco x3 pro screen and i cant find any replacement part
i have the same question
try it and report back here!
Yes its the same screen for both.
Hey Razvan Did you know if the screen worked for both cell phones? I'm in the same problem rigth now
@@Eliucinhovarela does it worked?
question? my vibrator motor stopped working, so watching your video i replaced with a new one, however it doesn't work very well. I can hear it but it doesn't vibrate. What else could be the problem
It could be a defective motor, or maybe something is pressing down on it to firmly not sure.
Last Friday i charged it in the train and it went out and stayed so , how can i recover my pictures or make it work again, should i buy one for parts or is chip reballing out of discussion?
It could be a defective battery, frozen phone (need to hold volume down and power button for 30 seconds), or bad screen.
@@PBKreviews I was at a service , they changed battery and charging port still just started but never booted...
Thank you for the review, it's very detail and the explanation is simple but clear.
Sir how do you get your teardown review units?
I buy them, they aren't given to me 😀
@@PBKreviews Oh, hopefully you make enough money from ad revenue to continue purchasing more teardown review units!
You make very educative content
@@venator7889 Thanks! Right now I don't make much from RUclips so I lose money on every video purchasing the phones. Hopefully in the future it will change. :)
New sub here... Nice work
Thanks!
My poco x3 stopped vibrating full stop, is almost new and im very disappointed , do u think i should to replace the vibrating motor?
Great disassembly tutorial.
Thanks!
thanks bro
it's so helpful 🎉
Welcome 😊
one question, if I remove the secondary camera module to get rid of the bulge, the phone would still work with the main camera? just wondering, I know it's a dumb question ^^'
The phone would still work, but if you open the camera app, if any of the other camera modes are selected, it would freeze the app. Say for example you try to zoom out and it switches to a wide angle lens etc. then it would freeze the camera app since it can't find the camera.
Hi I have question.
I have poco x3 pro which has 48 megapixel camera .i am thinking to buy poco x3 camera that has 64 mp camera and 12 mp ultrawide . Will it be possible to change .i will buy spare part of it .pls reply
Not sure, I haven't tried it. It might or might not. There might be software issues but not sure.
@@PBKreviews thanks
Good know that the processor and memory is at upper right, no wonder why when i play game that part will be warm
Yup :)
Where is liquid heat sink that is mentioned in the specs?
@@TS0G0 inside the copper heat sink i suppose cuz i've seen some videos of Jerryrigeverything take apart some phone that using it
Very detailed and excellent teardown Sir. Anyway, there is an annoying and aggresive vibration from, I dunno the vibration motor or speaker from this device. If I may ask, is the vibration motor removable? Or is there a way to minimize the vibration from the X3 Pro? Thank you.
Thank you. The motor is held down with adhesive and is removable. Might be a faulty vibration motor. When do you hear the noise?
Is it possible to retrieve pics and videos in my water damaged poco? its deadbot no power, nothing. The technician here said there's a second option is to implant the chip in another phone to retrieve it. is it possible? thank you. Great video. so clean and detailed.
Hi, it would be a possibility to de solder the storage chip and solder it on a working board but would be both expensive and not guaranteed. Have you tried taking apart the phone and drying it out, brushing off corrosion on chips and connectors and putting it back together to see if it will boot?
Hello mate, I literally don't have much of an idea about this technical stuff but I do have a question. How much is it going to cost if I were to have the battery replaced? Preferrably an authentic battery and also including the price of the labor. Oh and if needed, I am from the Philippines
Hi, not sure because it all depends where you buy the part or who is doing the repair for you. Costs vary from location to location etc.
Madarboard is main part .. all connections wired is joining this board .🤯💥
Hello, can you change an lcd display for an amoled? for the POCO X3 PRO??
Thanks for the review. Poco X3 Pro is a cool smartphone. 🔥✌️😎
Everything is fine, but it’s interesting, can I lubricate something over the processor or somewhere so that the phone doesn’t get very hot?
You can change the thermal paste and add a better thermal paste which can help. Just make sure not to use a thermal paste that is highly conductive so if it leaks or spreads to areas you don't want it to be, it won't short the phone.
My Poco X3 died today. After a couple of days were the screen went "blue" with an immediate restart following that, it now remains at a black screen. No more reaction when pressing any button and/or plugging the charger in. Which of the shown components could most likely be the culprit?
Very nice thabk you... But where are the 3g/4g antennas please??
Thanks. Both the top and bottom plastic covers have antenna lines drawn through the plastic. As well as antenna contacts on the sub board and motherboard which touch parts of the frame. Not sure exactly which antenna is for which though.
Does the Gaming Cooler for phone, can do its job to cool the CPU or Processor? Because the Processor is on the right side of the Camera. Please answer me. TIA
Usually those external fans are to cool off the external housing/frame heat and not internally. It will help keep the outside of the phone cooler in effect help the internal temps slightly, but nothing extreme.
@@PBKreviews Thanks
Can this phone add 5G chip? Like solder it or something. Cuz I hear this one should be have 5G external chip, but they decided to not add on it.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not sure about the external chip but would not really be able to solder a 5G modem onto the phone board since it would not only require expert soldering skills but also additional resistors and software modifications as well.
may i know the price of flex cable which connects the sub board and main board

im thinking of replacing my poco x3 pro and was wondering if the sd card is soldered into the phone or not
Thanks for detailed teardown.
You're welcome
what could be the problem of my phone i replace the sub board already, but the mics are still not working and keeps on shutting down when i will use my mic. i can verify my speakers charging ports are working
Hmm not sure what could be causing an issue like that
Is the module camera same like x3nfc.can you try to replace module back camera x3pro with x3 nfc?😅
They look to be the same connectors and locations so it may be possible to interchange them but I don't have the phones anymore to try it.
@@PBKreviews ahaha i think you still have the phone
Thank you...
Is the graphite plate usefull. How does it help
The graphite film? It helps transfer heat. Will work without the graphite film but wont transfer heat as well.
@@PBKreviews ok thanks for the information. I m using without the film 👍
@@yagaman6701 You're welcome :)
Interesting! Can you swap cameras between Poco X3 NFC to Poco X3 Pro?
Might be possible, but i dont have the phones anymore to try. They seem to be the same connector size and locations but not sure if there will be a software issue or not.
Hi I've got this phone. But when I hold the phone on both sides and turn it either ways, something big MOVES inside! It shifts as per gravity! I'm worried.
Hmm the only thing I can think that would move would be the cameras. They have some leverage and can move around a bit.
@@PBKreviews Thanks for the reply. Its not the cameras. I can feel the thud around the mid sides of the phone. Could it be the battery?
Great clear explanation. Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! :)
Bro my poco X3 pro motherboard has some minor problems and display is not switching on due motherboard problem. Should I have to replace another motherboard ., Or it can be repaired ??
Please tell me bro 😥
I don't know what to do
I'm not sure, how do you know it's your motherboard? If its a display connector issue, some place with experience and tools to replace the connector or display chip would need to do the repair. If its something more intensive, then you might need to replace the board but usually you can only find a board from someone selling the phone online for parts (for example like a broken screen phone so you can take the board out of that).
i send my phone to repair shop and like still they cant fix it after a month now im tired to wait for it.. cuz they keep saying they dont have the sparepart yet they said they cam fix it
I got my POCO X3 PRO repaired; CPU reballed, RAM extended and smth UFS error. Everything is fine but Gyro, Magnetometer and Accelerometer aren't working. What might have happened? Could you please help?
Did you lose any info from your phone when they repaired it? Mine just bricked today. Repair guy couldn't fix it.
Is the sideframe of the X3 Pro plastic or Aluminum?
The frame is an aluminum alloy frame with a layer of plastic over the boarder/sides.
Appreciate you man
👍
@@PBKreviews bro it's been a year i'm worried my poco x3 pro keeps on restarting on loop for a week at least 5times a day, lastly the mobile went white screen and didn't turn on later....
Very cool explanation, what is the solution to the sudden shutdown problem in poco x3pro
Thanks. Not sure exactly.
