I loved the Poco X3 Pro, it offered incredible value for money. However, if you can stretch your budget further, the Poco F3 offers a significant upgrade to both the display and the chipset. Switching from a 120Hz IPS LCD display to a 120Hz AMOLED. Then swapping out the Snapdragon 860, which is the same as the 2-year-old SD855+, with the SD870, which is a slightly higher clocked version of last year’s Snapdragon 865+.

For £299/£329 you are getting a phone with superior performance than the flagship devices of last year. That’s a mind-bogglingly good deal.
The downside is that the camera is a middling at best, but you have to make some sacrifices for this price.
