Poco M3 review: Less than the sum of its parts

An affordable device with great specification all considered, but just how well does the budget Poco M3 handle in the real world? Here's our review.

Very affordable for such a well-rounded specification ; Large screen with Full HD+ resolution ; Quicker Wi-Fi than some low-price rivals ; Massive battery - so lasts for an age

Screen has poor touch response ; Often sluggish around user interface ; Cameras an oversell (macro and depth not needed) ; Xiaomi's MIUI 12 software irks ; Poor vibration/haptics sensation

If all you want is an affordable outright purchase for calls and emails then the Poco M3 will last an age and could serve you well. But the quality of even lesser-specified devices out there - which run better overall - means it's not one to recommend.

POCO M3 smartphone

On offer is a lower midrange smartphone which performs amicably with what's contained under the hood.

Decent battery, dual-SIM plus MicroSD card slot, sound good, fingerprint scanner works well, finger-print free body, decent price

Already a year old so specs showing its age, no 5G, no wide-angle lens, screen brightness could have been better

Large 6.53" screen with 1080p resolution, great contrast

No NFC

The Poco M3 is a great all-rounder. The constant competition between Realme and Xiaomi (and by extension Poco) has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the entry-level segment. We now have a few great, no-compromise phones between €100 and...

Poco M3 review: The best budget phone of the year (so far)

How can a budget phone be this good? That's what we keep scratching our heads over. It used to be that the Motorola G series reigned king as the best budget phones under $199, but Poco M3 review: we can't get over how good this budget phone is! The...

Great bang for your buck ; Large display ; Solid build + unique design with fun color options ; Exceptional battery life ; Good photo quality ; Powerful stereo speakers ; Audio Jack + microSD card slot

Occasional UI lags ; No waterproofing ; Middling macro and selfie camera ; So-so video quality ; No NFC

We can’t get over how good this sub $150 phone is
