We are fresh after the premiere of the newest child of the Xiaomi sub-brand, the POCO M3 model. Although the price of the device suggests it belongs to the budget shelf, the features of the smartphone put it much above the competition. Well, I’ll risk a statement and say that the M3 can be called unrivaled in its category. We get here a quite solid set, in which there is an audio jack 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo speakers and a powerful battery with a capacity 6000 mAh. With all this, the POCO M3 is an exceptionally beautiful piece of equipment. The creators used an interesting design here, which is additionally useful. All this for the amount below 700 for the basic variant.

The newly presented POCO M3 smartphone is a potential Christmas sales hit. The budget man can boast of solutions such as the battery 6000 mAh or stereo speakers. What else?

Let’s be clear. Budgeters rarely evoke great emotions. However, it is different with the POCO M3. Visually, this model looks great and the use of this word is not an exaggeration. On the front we find 6, 53 – inch screen with resolution 2340 x 1080 pixels covered with a layer of chemically toughened Corning Gorilla Glass. At the top there is a teardrop-shaped indentation in which the 8 Mpix selfie camera z f / 2 is embedded. 05. The frames are one of the smaller ones in this price segment, but the magic only happens on the backs.

Tested Redmi Note 9, Note 9S and Note 9 Pro. Which smartphone to choose?

The back of the phone is mostly filled with a plastic housing that looks and feels like leather. This means a firm grip and less susceptibility to so-called “fingering”. The camera module takes up about a quarter of the POCO M3 backs, but interestingly, it only protrudes about 1 mm above the structure. As it is a symmetrical module, the smartphone will not sway on the desk. The real usability is also increased by the fingerprint scanner, which is located directly in the power button on the side of the smartphone. But that’s not all – the manufacturer has included stereo speakers in the POCO M3, which are unique in this price class.

Qualcomm Snapdragon is responsible for the performance of POCO M3 662, Adreno graphics 610, 4 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 memory. Standard 64 GB or 128 GB can be expanded with a microSD memory card to 512 GB. Battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh, which we charge with power 18 In, allow even for two and a half days of standard use. In the subject of photography, we will be able to rely on a triple photo module consisting of 48 Mpix of the main unit and auxiliary sensors for macro photos and depth of field detection. The presence of macro, portrait and night modes is also important here. POCO M3 version 4 / 64 GB costs only 649 PLN. Option with 128 GB of data memory is an expense of 749 PLN. The device will be available in the regular Polish sales network, i.e. in electromarkets.
