OPPO Reno12 F 5G Coming Soon

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.
