Video quality

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I've had the Poco X3 for about 1 week now.
Let's talk a bit about the video quality!

Your "1x" lens/setting will be the best overall video quality. The 0.6x (wide) also works fairly well, but even at the same resolution and frame rate, it is noticeably worse.

720p 30 fps: skip
1080p 30 fps: There seems to be some stuttering here and there. Auto focus works quite well and responds fairly quickly.
1080p 60 fps: Surprisingly good! It looks very smooth especially with the stabilization on (gimbal like). The auto focus doesn't respond well. Sometimes works, sometimes needs manual tapping. I don't know what's wrong with it.
4k 30 fps: Similar to 1080p but also some shakiness perhaps due to frame rate. Auto focus is available and works decently.

There are some other features such as fast object tracking, macro, steady cam. Those are nothing to write home about, but are there.

I upgraded to Poco X3 from a Redmi 6, so it was a pretty huge upgrade. Having never used more expensive phones, I'm pretty satisfied with the camera. Though, the other sensors like macro and wide are pretty much a joke compared to the primary sensor, I don't think I'll find much use of them.
With videos at 1080p and 60fps, there's definitely an auto focus problem, but hopefully some software updates would fix it and improve the overall quality.

On 12.0.3 EU Rom the Slow-Motion Videoo woth stock-camera doesn't work. In 720p mode there is no slow-motion when playing the video, in 1080p there is big stuttering. On previous 12.0.2 slow-motion worked fine.

Still works for me without any issues on 12.0.3.
First seconds are normal speed, but after a sec low and behold slomo

I have found my mistake. I had uninstalled VI video. Because of this, e.g. Google Photos could not play slow motion. Now I have installed VI video again. Slowmotion is running again.

the auto focus on X3 is wayyyyyy too aggressive.. it keeps auto focusing every 5s.. its very very irritating..

Don't really have much to say other than that I'm very happy with the electronic image stabilization on this device. It's actually pretty great especially considering it's not OIS. Most midrangers have pretty awful image stabilization, but this phone handles it quite well. I'm also fairly pleased to have 4K video & 1080p 60fps; in 2020 those should be pretty standard at this point, but you don't always see those options on budget phones. Beyond that I haven't really messed with the video or the front-facing camera to really find any major negatives.

Between the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC and the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro which has the best final camera, the measurements show the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC. But in the many times I have seen on the internet sometimes it looks like the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC is good and other times the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro. What is the truth after all?
