I received my Poco M3 today (delivered by Ekart in 2 days). These are my first impressions. Design and build: Fits well in hand and it's side mounted finger print scanners ls also placed in an optimal location. A simple plastic back with curved edges. Feels little heavy. Display: Looks stunning with great colours and balanced and adaptive brightness. It's Full HD+ display is Ideal for watching videos. 60Hz refresh rate is good considering the budget but as I shifted from high end one plus, I felt it little slow. Battery: It seems to be decent (I have used it for 3 hours heavily and it is down by 25%). Charging takes little longer time, maybe because of high capacity battery. Camera: It is an average camera (satisfied for price range but don't fall for the numbers or pixels). Performs well under bright light and average under low light. Front camera is below average. So there might be phones clicking better photos in this price range. Speaker: This is where Poco M3 beats all it's competitors, thanks to it's dual stereo speakers which steals the show. Undoubtedly best in the segment. (If you don't compare with high end phones) Performance: 6gb ram ans Snapdragon 662 sounds fine for this budget section and it performs decently. Cannot expect a heavy performance from a budget smartphone. Storage: Comes with so many pre installed apps and games, but fortunately they can be uninstalled so 64gb varient is handy and 128gb is anyways a better varient with a higher speed. UI : It is typical MIUI, so if you have used MI phones it won't be confusing but the ones switching from other company phones might take a little time for getting used to it. Many Mi apps are also installed. It doesn't seem to be ads free though. Overal Verdict: The phone is well balanced in all areas. If you want to use it mainly for watching videos or movies then go for it without a thought. Battery is good and performance is decent. If you are a camera enthusiast, then better find other alternatives. That's all for few hours of usage. Hope you find it helpful!
Awesome pictures quality😎😎😎😘😘😘
Iam really happy with my Poco m3, Got yellow colour,looks amazing, screen resolution really good, even though 6GB RAM feel sluggish in performance, battery last for 2 days with normal task and internet surfing, don't know why people are complaining about camera quality, pictures are vibrant with good contrast......should definitely go people looking for sub-15k budget phone
Best phone for this range.
Used it for one year and 4 months n then it just turned off randomly and hasn't turned back on ever since
