Poco M3 Pro 5G

Poco has launched a new phone, adding to the list of its already growing number of devices available in the market. The phone has finally been launched in India after first being unveiled globally. This new phone from Poco is called the Poco M3 Pro 5G. The phone flaunts an interesting spec sheet and an even more interesting design. The phone offers quite a few things to like, with its highlights being a 6.5-inch FHD+ 90Hz DynamicSwitch DotDisplay and a fast Dimensity 700 chipset under the hood. The phone also comes with a 48-megapixel main camera set-up at the back of the device. 

Poco M3 Pro 5G: Design and display

The Poco M3 Pro flaunts a design that appears to draw inspiration from the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. It has a similar looking camera bump at the back, making the device look quite premium. The Poco M3 Pro 5G comes with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ display that can refresh up to 90Hz refresh rate. 

This display also supports DynamicSwitch feature and 1,500:1 contrast ratio. While this is not the best display in the market in terms of specifications, it still appears to have most of the features that users demand. 

Poco M3 Pro 5G: What’s under the hood?

Under the hood, we have decent hardware for the price. The Poco M3 Pro 5G as such comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC which has been paired with up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. The MediaTek Dimensity 700 SoC sits just below the Dimensity 720 which was launched back in July 2020 and has been fabricated on a 7nm process.

The MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor brings 5G UltraSave power-saving features that improve the phone’s battery life. The processor is paired with an octa-core CPU that consists of two big Cortex-A76 cores running up to 2.2GHz followed by six small Cortex-A55 cores running at up to 2.0GHz. This is complemented by the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at up to 950MHz with the chip. 

Apart from this, the Poco M3 Pro comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and AI Face Unlock. Lights on the Poco M3 Pro 5G are kept on by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.
