Poco M3 launches with 48MP cam, FHD display, 6000mAh battery

The Poco M3 is now official. As expected, the handset brings an eye catching design along with quality specs at pocket friendly price tags.

Interestingly, the launch of the smartphone is also the debut of the brand’s new M-series. The new product line fills the entry level slot, joining the F-series for flagships and the X-series for mid-range phones.

Right out the gate, the Poco M3 comes with a monstrous 6,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging and wired reverse charging. Up front, it has a 6.3-inch full HD+ Dot Drop display with Corning Gorilla Glass and an 8MP selfie camera tucked in a water drop notch.

Inside is a Qualcom Snapdragon 662 with eight cores with a max clock speed of 2GHz. It is paired with an Adreno 610 GPU, 4GB LPDDR4x RAM, and 64GB or 128GB storage.

At the back, you have a triple camera setup with a 48MP main backed by two 2MP sensors for macro and depth.

Rounding out the specs, the phone also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, a USB-C port, L1 Widevine Certification, and MIUI 12 based on Android 10.
