Short Review
- The Xiaomi Poco M3 features a sturdy design with a glass front protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and a plastic back and frame, weighing 198g.
- Its 6.53-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, providing a decent viewing experience at 400 nits brightness, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset, paired with options of 4GB or 6GB RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and app usage.
- The camera system includes a 48 MP main sensor, complemented by 2 MP macro and depth sensors, capable of recording video at 1080p.
- The 8 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- A significant highlight is the 6000 mAh battery, which supports 18W charging, providing extended usage without frequent recharging.
- The device runs on Android 10 with MIUI 12, offering a user-friendly interface.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, but it does not support 5G.
- The absence of wireless charging and stereo speakers is notable, yet it retains a headphone jack for wired audio.
- Available in Cool Blue, Poco Yellow, and Power Black, the Poco M3 combines functionality with a modern aesthetic.
