Do these 3 things before closing this tab:
1Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitches2Clear out junk files and repair common Windows errors3Scan for outdated or missing drivers - takes under a minuteMuch like the Poco flagships, the Poco F1 and F2, their mid-range phones are also proving to be value for money. We have covered the Poco X2 and the Poco M2 Pro in the past and today we bring a useful post to tweak your POCO X3 as well. Unlike the Poco X2 which had its hardware inspiration taken from the Redmi k30 series, the Poco X3 is a ground-up build product. For starters it is the very first phone to feature a new Qualcomm chip, has a distinctive design language, and manages to keep all the important features that made the previous gen X2 a success.
Like our previous guides, in this one too we would guide you through the steps to install a custom recovery on your Poco X3 followed by getting Root access using the Magisk module.
Before we get into the flashing guide, let’s explore the device. The Poco X3 has an all-new design with a center punch-hole on the front and a circular camera module on the back. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G which is an overclocked Snapdragon 730G. The phone is sold in two color choices and three memory configurations. There is a quad-rear camera setup with the main sensor being 64MP similar to what we say on Poco X2.
Apart from this, we get the MIUI 12 based on Android 10. A 6,000mAh battery to juice the phone and its massive FHD+ display upfront that has a 120Hz refresh rate We get support for fast charging which is a plus considering the massive battery this phone comes with.

What is TWRP recovery?
TWRP stands for TeamWin Recovery Project. It is an open-source and entirely GUI-based custom recovery for Android devices. The reason why it’s so popular is because of the fact that it allows Android users to enjoy fully touch-based UI and flash custom ROMs, MODs, Magisk, SuperSu, etc. There are further features like Full System backup that come in handy during these customization sessions.
EverythingXiaomi.com is not responsible for any kind of damage to data or devices while performing this task. Flashing a custom recovery voids the device’s warranty and might result in full data loss. You are proceeding at your own risk.
