Poco M3: Design
The Poco M3 is the latest mid-range smartphone from Xiaomi's spin-off brand Poco. The device comes with a colorful back panel, which is made using plastic. Due to the properties of plastic, the Poco M3 comes out as a smudge-free fingerprint-free smartphone. However, it is susceptible to scratches if not used properly. The smartphone has a 6.53-inch display with FHD+ resolution. This is an IPS LCD panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, and the display is protected by 2.5D curved tempered glass. From the unique camera module to the colorful back panel, the Poco M3 is definitely a unique looking mid-range smartphone.
Poco M3: Hardware Performance
The Poco M3 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 octa-core SoC based on 11nm fabrication. The device comes with 6GB RAM and 64/128GB internal storage with a microSD card slot for additional storage expansion. The device can handle normal day-to-day tasks without any issue, and it should also be able to handle games like COD: Mobile or FAU-G without any issue.
Poco M3: Camera Performance
The Poco M3 offers a triple camera setup at the back with a 48MP primary camera, 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. At the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera.

The primary sensor can shoot bright photos in day-light situations and captures 12MP images using pixel binning technology.

The Poco M3 costs Rs. 9,999 for the base model (for a limited time), and it is a well-priced device for the features, and the specs sheet the Poco M3 offers.

How do we rate a Device?
Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Camera
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Battery
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
Display
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
Value for Money
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
Performance
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
