07 Sep 2021: POCO X3 Pro allegedly blasts; company says 'customer induced damage'

A couple of days back, Twitter user Aman Bhardwaj had shared images of his two-month-old POCO X3 Pro which had allegedly blasted five minutes after it was removed from charging. Now, POCO (via 91mobiles) has concluded its investigation, noting that it is a case of "customer induced damage" as there was application of external force. Here are more details.

Fact: 'The device appeared bent and the LCM was crushed'

"Basis our technical investigation, the device (POCO X3 Pro) appeared bent and the LCM (liquid crystal module) was in a crushed condition which indicates the application of external force. This is thus classified under 'customer induced damage,'" a POCO India spokesperson said in a statement.

As far as its specifications are concerned, the POCO X3 Pro features a punch-hole design with slim bezels, an IP53-rated build for dust and splash resistance, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Fact: It sports a 48MP main camera

The POCO X3 Pro is equipped with a quad rear camera setup comprising a 48MP (f/1.8) primary sensor, an 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide lens, a 2MP (f/2.4) macro snapper, and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor. Up front, it has a 20MP (f/2.2) selfie camera.

Internals: It boots MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11
