Hardware specs
The Poco M3 features a 6.53 ″ Full HD + screen and is powered by a Snapdragon 662 processor. The device only comes with 4GB of RAM with a choice of 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage. If you need more, you can insert a microSD card through its dedicated expansion slot.
For taking photos, you have a basic triple camera setup with a 48MP camera and two 2MP shooters for macro and depth effects. Up front, the small notch on the screen houses an 8MP selfie shooter.
Keeping the lights on is a massive 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging via USB-C. A 3.5mm headphone jack is also preserved and it also comes with an infrared blaster. Despite being a budget phone, the M3 still has a pair of stereo speakers similar to its more expensive Poco X3 NFC.
In terms of connectivity, this is a dual-SIM 4G LTE device and it supports 5GHz WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0. Interestingly, the M3 ships with a 22.5W charger, but it only supports fast charging up to 18W. Out of the box, it runs on Android 10 with MIUI 12 for the Poco skin on top.
