Xiaomi Poco M3: All information and pictures for the budget smartphone
Yesterday the Xiaomi Poco M3 was finally officially unveiled by the manufacturer. This is a very cheap budget smartphone for 149 euros, which has a lot to offer on paper. We have summarized all information in the following lines.
In terms of design, the cheap smartphone stands out noticeably from the competition. The back is particularly noticeable in the color POCO Yellow with the huge, black camera layout. If you like it a little more subtle, you should probably choose the blue or black model. In addition, thanks to a specially structured surface, fingerprints on the back should hardly be visible. If you turn the smartphone around, you immediately notice the small notch in which the front camera is located. The display bezels are pleasantly thin.
Xiaomi Poco M3 Specs
The front is dominated by the large 6,53 inch LC display, which has a sharp resolution of 2.340 x 1.080 pixels and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. A smooth refresh rate of 90 or even 120 Hertz is of course not supported. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 works inside the entry-level smartphone, paired with 4 GB of RAM and either 64 GB or 128 GB of flash memory. This can be expanded up to 512 GB via a micro SD card. MIUI version 12, based on Android 10, is used as software.
For many, the highlight is likely to be the impressive 6.000 mAh battery capacity. This can be charged quickly with the supplied 22,5W power adapter. In addition, the manufacturer has installed a 3,5 mm headphone jack and even stereo speakers, which for 149 euros is anything but self-evident.
Finally, of course, we have to take a closer look at the cameras. Xiaomi installs a triple camera on the back, which is set up as follows: 48 megapixel (f / 1.79) main camera, 2 megapixel (f / 2.4) macro camera and a 2 megapixel (f / 2.4) sensor for depth effects. A night mode is of course included and slow motion videos are possible with up to 120 FPS. The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels (f / 2.05) and, as already mentioned, sits in the small notch on the front.
