Suggested Replacement for Poco X3 NFC

Hi all,

After some suggestions for a replacement for my Poco X3 NFC. There's actually nothing wrong with my current phone (running LineageOS 20 like a champ) but my partner needs a replacement phone so she will get the NFC and I'll upgrade.

My main needs from a new phone are:

  • Good camera
  • 5G support (using Aldi mobile / Telstra)
  • Good aftermarket rom support

Nice to have are:

  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Good screen for daylight viewing
  • Prefer local warranty if possible

Budget ideally is around $400, but can stretch a little more if needed

Have started looking at things like the Poco X5 (ticks all the boxes other than the camera I think), but keen for your suggestions.

Thanks

    pixel 6a was under $500 during past festive sale.

    it lacks 3.5mm jack, but you get a top notch camera and local warranty.

      Good point. 6A would probably meet most of my needs, probably the only area that would be a slight downgrade would be the battery life I guess

        the battery is like 4400mah

          Yes, so smaller than my current Poco, and smaller than most of the newer Poco phones

            @mr626: the pixels would probably last longer in usage though.

              @frondono: depends….he is a custom rom user if you mean updates….in terms of reliability both pocos and pixels have had hardware failures posted on the net…..so….?!?

    Following I've got the x3 pro and was having the finger print/power button play up a few weeks ago doing a bootloop. Was thinking I'd need a replacement straight away but that hasn't been the case yet.

      mmm, is it an indian model? custom rom? kernal version?
