Xiaomi Poco M3 Cool Blue, 64 GB

Poco (Xiaomi sub-brand) has launched a new product on the global market - Xiaomi Poco M3 smartphone, which immediately won the love of customers.

The branded yellow packaging immediately informs about the main feature of this device - a powerful 6000 mAh battery. It charges 100% in 3 hours, and you can recharge the battery by 50% in just 1 hour.

The Poco M3 package includes: phone; USB Type-C power cable; 22.5W power adapter; silicone cover; paper clip for removing the SIM card; documentation. The screen of the Xiaomi Poco M3 smartphone comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection right out of the box. The body is made entirely of plastic, which does not leave scratches, but it is pleasing to the eye. The phone sits securely in your hand and will not slip out. Whether or not you need a case is up to you, but we can tell you that the phone feels great without one.

The Poco M3 also has a 3.5 mm audio jack and a fingerprint scanner on the side that works in a second.

There are speakers on the top and bottom that produce a pleasant stereo sound, although if we compare this model with the Poco X3, the latter sounds brighter.

The Poco M3 smartphone has a screen diagonal of 6.53 inches, a Full HD+ resolution (2340x1080 pixels) and a refresh rate of 60Hz. It runs on Android 10 OS with its own MIUI 12 skin. A few words about the processor. It is an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, which first appeared in the Xiaomi Poco M3. In terms of speed, the phone can be compared to the Redmi Note 8 or 8T, but there is hope that future updates will speed up the system. There is 4GB of RAM and two internal storage options - 64GB and 128GB. The triple 48MP camera is sharper in good light than the same Poco X3, but at night the comparison will not be in favour of the newcomer we are considering. On the other hand, for a budget phone, the camera delivers the expected results.

The front-facing camera is also fairly basic - 8 MP, although it will be more than enough for video communication in Messenger. Video recording is in maximum Full HD resolution, with no stabilisation. To sum up. The Xiaomi Poco M3 is a good option for little money. The smartphone will suit users who need a powerful battery and are not so keen on NFC, which is not present here.
