Next up, the POCO X3 / POCO X3 NFC has received the third Alpha build of Paranoid Android. The latest build fixes bugs, adds features like per-app refresh rate support, screen-off gestures, Quick-tap Columbus gestures, and bumps the security patch level to February 2022. If you're running Sapphire Alpha 2 build, you can simply sideload the new OTA in recovery. First-time users or those on Alpha 1 build, however, will need to do a fresh install by wiping user data.
