Source: Digitec GalaxusWith the Poco M3, Xiaomi launches an affordable entry-level model that performs well in the test. The performance and display quality are completely acceptable. The best thing, however, is the extremely long battery life. In terms of features, however, users have to make concessions...
With its offshoot Poco, Xiaomi has created the almost perfect smartphone range in the middle class from just under 200 to 350 euros. The customer can be sure that he will also get more performance and equipment with the next most expensive model. The F3 is thus the most expensive, but also the best Poco smartphone - and unrivalled in price...
The Poco M3 is a bit clunky, but has a good grip. It can still be operated reasonably in everyday life, but complex 3D games push the processor to its limits. Incomprehensible: Xiaomi has omitted the NFC chip - wireless payment is not possible. On the other hand, the manufacturer has not skimped on the powerful battery (6000 mAh), which enables enormous runtimes...
Xiaomi is really shaking up the lower price segment with the Poco M3. Here you get a lot of phone for little money. A record-breaking battery life of 15.5 hours and fast charging with 18 watts are convincing.
In everyday use, the Poco M3 can be operated reasonably, but complex games push the CPU to its limits. It is annoying that Xiaomi has omitted the NFC chip. However, no savings were made on the powerful battery. All in all, the M3 is the least powerful Poco, but no mobile phone under 150 euros has performed better in the test so far.
