Poco M3 review

Forget iPhones, Galaxies, Redmis, and whatnot. Meet the hottest phone of the season - the Poco M3. Everyone's talking about this model by the...

Large 6.53" screen with 1080p resolution, great contrast

No NFC

The Poco M3 is a great all-rounder. The constant competition between Realme and Xiaomi (and by extension Poco) has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the entry-level segment. We now have a few great, no-compromise phones between €100 and...

Poco M3 review: The best budget phone of the year (so far)

How can a budget phone be this good? That's what we keep scratching our heads over. It used to be that the Motorola G series reigned king as the best budget phones under $199, but Poco M3 review: we can't get over how good this budget phone is! The...

Great bang for your buck ; Large display ; Solid build + unique design with fun color options ; Exceptional battery life ; Good photo quality ; Powerful stereo speakers ; Audio Jack + microSD card slot

Occasional UI lags ; No waterproofing ; Middling macro and selfie camera ; So-so video quality ; No NFC

We can’t get over how good this sub $150 phone is

POCO M3 Review

POCO M3 is the latest smartphone from POCO and the successor of last year's POCO M2. Unlike POCO M2 that was powered by Helio G80 SoC, this one is powered by Snapdragon 662 SoC. It also comes with an improved 48MP main camera and a 6000mAh battery. Is...

Large Full HD+ display ; Smooth performance ; Stereo speakers ; Good battery life

Average camera performance ; Ultra-wide camera from POCO M2 is missing

At a starting price of Rs. 10,999, the POCO M3 is decent budget smartphone that comes with a large 6.53-inch FHD+ screen, 6GB of RAM and a 6000mAh battery, compared to most phones in the price range only offer HD+ screen and 4GB of RAM. The build...

Poco M3 review: Bright, beautiful, and brilliant

In our Poco M3 review we see if a stellar design, and excellent battery is enough to make it one of the best in the entry-level segment.

Stellar design and build quality ; Massive battery and great endurance ; Excellent stereo speakers

Cameras don't impress ; A few frame drops in animation heavy pages ; Takes a while to charge

The Poco M3 is a big step forward for the Poco brand. The build quality and design easily bests its competition, and the phone impresses overall with battery life, general performance. The cameras could be a bit better, but that's a problem that...

Poco M3 review: The smartphone to beat this year under Rs 12,000

Launched last week, the Poco M3 is going to be the smartphone to beat this year in sub-Rs 12,000 category. It has almost everything to rule the budget segment in coming months - cool looks, good display, great battery and decent camera setup.

Good Looks ; Big Battery ; Affordable price tag

Average performance ; No wide angle lens

The Poco M3 is not a game-changer. They don’t come at a price tag of Rs 10,999. It makes some smart choices and offers users what they really want. The smartphone sacrifices the ultra-wide camera, sticks to a 60Hz panel and uses an average processor...

Poco M3 review: Less than the sum of its parts

An affordable device with great specification all considered, but just how well does the budget Poco M3 handle in the real world? Here's our review.

Very affordable for such a well-rounded specification ; Large screen with Full HD+ resolution ; Quicker Wi-Fi than some low-price rivals ; Massive battery - so lasts for an age

Screen has poor touch response ; Often sluggish around user interface ; Cameras an oversell (macro and depth not needed) ; Xiaomi's MIUI 12 software irks ; Poor vibration/haptics sensation

If all you want is an affordable outright purchase for calls and emails then the Poco M3 will last an age and could serve you well. But the quality of even lesser-specified devices out there - which run better overall - means it's not one to recommend.
