My Pro 3 crashed and is not recoverable, and after reading the reviews I'm not sure if the PRO 4 will make me happy.

X3 Pro definitely a better phone than the X4 Pro, it's a bit of a shame because I was really looking at getting the X4 Pro but decided not to after the chipset doesn't allow it to record video in 4K.
