Poco M3: Specifications and Features

Design and Display

Starting with the design, the look seems to be inspired by OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition. There is a large rectangular section on the topside where we get to see the triple rear camera and Poco branding. There is a faux leather anti-fingerprint finish to add more comfortability and grip as the company claims. The Poco M3 features a 6.53-inch FHD+ LCD screen with 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 90.34 SBR* and standard 60Hz refresh rate. Besides, we also get Corning Gorilla Glass for protection and a tiny notch on the top which accommodates the 8MP selfie camera.

Camera

There is a triple rear camera setup which includes a 48MP primary camera, 2MP depth sensor and another 2MP macro lens. It is disappointing that the company has skipped the wide-angle lens rather than a macro lens. Moreover, we get features like Portrait, Night Mode, Pro Mode, Sky replacement and more.

Internal Configurations

The Poco M3 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 chipset along with 4GB LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128GB UFS 2.2 storage.
