Poco M3 Full Review - 2 Weeks Later By TechWiser

So this is the Poco m3, as per Xiaomi, the phone sold over two and a half lakh units in just 10 days. That's crazy! To give you a perspective. Poco f1 sold 22 lakh units in two years. The m3 is already 10 of that. Also, the phone comes with a snapdragon 662 6000 my battery ad free experience and stereo speakers all for 11 000 rupees. So the question that has to be asked is: should you buy the Poco m3 or is the Poco m3 the best budget phone to buy, considering real mean r030a or motor g9 power? Well, the short answer to that is: yes, it's Xiaomi.

Of course, they always have good pricing, but there are some dark shades. You need to know about the focal m3, and on that note this is from techwiser. com, and I use the pokem3 for about 10 days now and here's the entire video about it, but before we get to that, we upload tech videos thrice a week. So if you want to stay wiser, make sure you subscribe to tech wiser and hit the bell icon as well. Let's go now.

This video is going to be my 10 days. Experience with the Poco m3 you'll get a glimpse of how the phone might work when you buy and use it, and we'll talk about the things I like, and I don't like, but before that, let's quickly get the specs out of the way the Poco m3 is powered by snapdragon 662, which is a year-old chipset. It is outscore and build on the 11 nanometer Samsung process. There are four high parkour at 2, gigahertz and 4 low power cores at 1.8 gigahertz. Our unit has 6gb ram with 64 GB internal storage.

You also get a 6 128 GB variant. I would get the 664, because this has an expandable storage. You can always put in a micro SD card in terms of sensor. Everything is there Wi-Fi five gigahertz Bluetooth, 5.0, dual 4g, VO Wi-Fi, volt and carrier aggregation. It also has an IR blaster, which is very useful.

We had an old Sony TV and I used the pokem3 to control that even the ac. Now, if the specs look familiar, it's exactly the same as Redmi nine power we'll get to the Poco Redmi similarities at the end of the video. But first, let's talk about what I liked on this device, the overall build and in-hand feel of the pokem3. It's good. This phone surely looks fancy, and it looks different from your normal phone.

It has a plastic back, but it's designed in a way to make it feel like leather, and it does feel like leather there's, a good grip on the phone. The back is textured. It feels good. The phone does come with a phone cover and scratch guard, but I use the phone without it these 10 days and, as you can see, there are no scratches on it, which, in my opinion, is good. The only thing to not like about the design is this huge Poco branding, but you will get used to it, or you can just do this fixed.

It also has a side mounted fingerprint sensor, which is not the fastest but good in this range. However, you need to change the fingerprint recognition method to touch so that it works when you touch the fingerprint sensor, and you don't have to press it every time now enough of the back. Let me quickly move to the front of the device, I'm quite happy with Redmi uh Poco I mean polo. They have included a 1080p full HD display it's a 6.53 inch 1080p into 2430p. It does get corning gorilla, glass, 3, and it's a huge display, not something that you would use one handed now.

The display is ok, it gets bright around 400 nits, not the best, but I didn't have much problem using the display outdoors under direct sunlight. However, here are two things about the display that I personally noticed first in the evening when I'm on my bed about to watch some YouTube videos. At the end of the day, I have a small LED bulb on top. The auto brightness gets too dim, so I always have to manually adjust the brightness and lots of time. The auto brightness sensor doesn't work or reacts quickly, so I'm always adjusting the brightness slider second, at times, while watching a series, I just keep my device on the table because I'm tired of holding it but from the sides the display looks really dim and reflective at times, I'm not even able to see what's going on the screen, so I had used micromax in note 1, which had a similar 1080p lcd and that didn't have these problems.

So I guess the LCD is not that good. But again it's a budget smartphone priced at 11 000. These two small things can be given a pass and back to watching series. I've started using headphones or earphones less with the Poco m3, because it has stereo speakers and that's the third thing I liked about the device stereo speakers see whenever I am at home comfort, my own place. I use the speakers to watch YouTube, videos, movies, everything and even in the shower.

Furthermore, I listen to music on the phone and speakers are in the best stereo speakers out there, but for sure they are loud. There's also a slight difference in loudness and audio quality between the bottom and the top speaker hold on. Let me show you so you can see. The bottom speaker is a bit loud and different, but I love Poco for offering stereo speakers and I think every budget phone should do that. It doesn't cost that much and yes, no matter how much video and audio you play, the battery never dies and that's the fourth thing I loved about the device, the battery life, the battery life just never dies.

It has a 6000 my battery and with me, UI killing. Every third. Fourth app will get to me UI in a moment, but the battery, as I said, never dies at times. I really want to charge this phone, but I still have 30 to 40 battery. By the end of the day.

To give you a perspective, I usually get around six to seven hours of screen on time. I watch a lot of videos 15 to 20 minutes of chess or Call of Duty every day and are of Spotify or audible, and this one day I thought of pushing the battery to the maximum, and I got nine hours of screen on time with still 20 battery left, so it will easily last two days on a light usage and even one and a half days on heavy usage, you do get an 18 watt, fast charger with the device it takes around 3r to charge from 0 to 100 because of the huge battery inside it and by the way I told you about mini killing apps well here let me show you a quick demo, see I'll just open the gate app and, as you can see, notification popped right up all this time. The app was killed in the background, and it can't send notification. It does this with every app, and then you go and disable it in the settings and pretty much not mini. Every android screen does this from oxygen OS to one UI everyone! Please stop that it's annoying to not have notifications from the app you use daily and that app killing brings me to the things I don't like about.

The Poco m3 brings me to the things I don't like about the Poco m3 to top the list. It has to be the camera or the cameras, so it has a main 48, megapixel main camera, a 2 megapixel macro camera and a 2 megapixel depth camera on the front. You get an 8, megapixel, selfie camera straight up. The macro camera is bad, even in good lighting conditions, the photo turn out, grainy noisy and the contrast is too much at times on the main 48 megapixel sensor. It never gets the white balance right like at times it's too yellow and at times it's too cool.

If you zoom into the pictures, they are all noisy and grainy. Soft. The same is with the selfie camera. The photos turn out to be soft and white balance. Color is way off, so I thought maybe just maybe the mini camera is bad.

The sensor may be good, so, let's try it out with g cam Guam did fix the color white balance, sharpness issue, as you can see side by side so yeah. Maybe you should use g cam with the Poco m3. The mini camera is just bad talking about videos. You can do 1080p 30fps with both the front and the rear camera. All in all, the camera is a bit disappointing and mostly due to me UI- and that brings me to the next disappointing point.

Meanwhile, mini has a lot of bugs this phone got updated to me, UI 12 and oh, my god. First, you use a TWS. You can see the battery charge percentage like this cropped. If your TWS has Google fast pair, the pop-up never appears unless you open the Bluetooth menu. Here's one more when you call someone and try to record the audio, the audio recording doesn't stop you keep on tapping and after multiple tabs it somehow decides to stop, and even the regular use of the device is finicky.

Whenever you switch to recent apps there's a slight glitch or just absolute non-responsiveness, I mean you know, the bug list goes on and on, but you get it. The letdown part of the whole device is me UI 12. , even the snapdragon 662. Isn't that bad, but mini throttles it. I have the micromax in note 1, with MediaTek g85 and in this render test.

Micromax beats the Poco m3 by miles, which shouldn't be the case. The 662 is not a bad chip and even the phone performs good while gaming and day-to-day tasks, but seems held back because of mini 12 and of course, when the phone launched Xiaomi promised that there would be no ads with Poco m3. As of now, there aren't any and that's the third disappointing point with the device Pogo m3 is supposed to not have ads, but it has recommendations. Now you ask what's an ad and what's the recommendation well on a philosophical level. Recommendation is something where you aren't getting paid for its ad is something where you get paid for it, but let's leave money and value outside.

In this example, recommendations to me shouldn't be personalized and while setting up the phone, this is what I noticed personalized ads wow. Now what has changed with this Poco m3 phone? You don't see an ad while installing an app or in the file manager or the weather, app or just regular, mini apps. But when you go and type something on the Poco launcher or even just randomly click on search whoops, there you go now you can disable it from the settings, but shouldn't have been there in the first place, and this is such a good phone. The only let down part is mini, and that brings me to why Poco f1 was so popular and what made the Poco brand. It was definitely the best budget, flagship killer and specked-out device you can get, but it had a Poco UI, which was not me, UI, cleaner, stalker, less annoying, ads, etc.

, and that led to the whole Poco brand. And now, if you see these, are the homophones launched, there's a big table so from this list, apart from Poco f1 and Poco x3, all of them are rebranded with not even their own. Skin, none of the devices are game changer, which Poco f1 was, so I would request Poco to just maybe hold back a little rebrand devices. That's not the problem. Take time and separate yourself from me, UI, that's where the real Poco lies, the real polo, which could have been what OnePlus was supposed to be, but sadly it's what Redmi can't be and, of course, to end this there's a lot of custom ROMs.

You can go ahead and in the future be able to install on Poco m3, but custom ROMs are always good to have as an option, not the default. And finally, should you buy it? Should you buy the Poco m3? Well, Xiaomi definitely knows one thing: they'll, always price the product below the competition, so in terms of raw specs and performance get if it's a good-looking phone 6gb or ram UFS, 2.1 storage, it's good value for what it offers get it even over the Redmi 9 power. Only the mini and the OT updates are disappointing and in case, if you want- or if you don't like me, UI, then the Realme Naruto, 30a or Motorola g9 power. Also makes sense much cleaner and better. On that note, like the video, if you have watch still here, this is Pradeep signing off, see you soon.
