POCO M3 Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

4.0/5

Kshitij Pujari
by  Kshitij Pujari , 09 Feb 2021

Verdict

The M3 has done justice to the POCO brand name. The handset ships with a huge 6,000mAh battery and supports 18W fast charging too. What s more, the design of the handset is extremely unique to the segment and it is undoubtedly going to grab eyeballs whenever you pull it out in public. The company could have utilised a more powerful chipset and offered better optics, but the POCO M3 is still tops my recommendation list in the budget segment.

    Pros

  • One-of-a-kind design
  • Capable stereo speakers
  • Excellent battery life

    Cons

  • Cameras could have been better
  • Gaming performance isn't a strong suite
