As we can see, with specs very similar to the Redmi Note 9, the new POCO M3 seems to be ready to take a lot of attention. Even if it equips a processor with lower performance, the fact of leaving MediaTek for a chipset developed by Qualcomm will provide you with greater advantages when installing Custom ROMs, better GCams, etc.
Although this will not be its only striking aspect, thanks to the inclusion of a huge 6,000 mAh battery, POCO M3 promises us up to two and a half days of use per charge. Also this phone will include a 22.5 W charger in the box, without any additional price.
Taking a look at the front we have an all-screen finish with a camera built into a water-drop shape notch. There is no trace of the fingerprint reader, but don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that the Poco M3 will be missing this component, it has been “hidden” in the power button, which is located on the side of the smartphone.
At the back of the smartphone, we find the classic rectangular islet placed vertically, which, in addition to housing the set of cameras, will integrate all the horizontal space with a black cover on which highlights the logo of “POCO” in a visible white. Something that we have already seen in the previous smartphones such as the Poco X3 NFC.
Xiaomi POCO M3 price and release date
Xiaomi POCO M3 will be available with a tremendously economical price, $170 for its 64GB UFS 2.1 model, a figure that will hardly increase to $200 for the model with 128GB and UFS 2.2 storage.
Therefore, from November 27 we can buy this mid-range phone on the official website of the brand and Xiaomi stores, reaching slightly later, from December 2 to other distributors such as Amazon.
