Poco M3 India launch: new teaser talks about design and performance

Poco M3 India launch is on the horizon. The launch of the Poco M3 has been officially teased by the company. A new video uploaded by Poco India on Twitter talks about the design and performance of the budget phone. 

The Poco M3 in India will be the successor to the Poco M2 which is one of the popular budget phones in India from 2020. The new video starts off with two people (cameraman and host) carrying Poco M3 to a mall in Bengaluru and asking out how the phone looks. First, the Poco M3 is shown in the Black colour variant which gets a response as "Killer look". Next up they talk about performance and call it an "OP" a.k.a Over Performer. The Yellow colour variant is shown next in the video. The video also highlights the heavy task performance of the Poco M3 - it can handle audio, video, and image editing apps, all at the same time.  Apart from that, the phone is also shown in all three colour options - Yellow, Blue, and Black. 

Poco M3 Specifications

Starting off with the display, the Poco M3 sports a 6.53-inch Full HD+ dot drop display. It has a resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels with 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 90.34% screen-to-body ratio, 70% NTSC colour gamut. A layer of Gorilla Glass 5 sits on top of the display. To the rear, you get a unique dual-tone finish with a rectangular block which sports the triple camera module and Poco branding. It is available in  Poco Yellow, Cool Blue, and Power Black colourways. 

Under the hood, the Poco M3 is powered by a Qualcomm chipset. The device has the Snapdragon 662 SoC in the heart. It is an octa-core chipset built on an 11nm fabrication process which runs at a max frequency of 2.05GHz and has a third-gen AI engine. Gaming and graphics performance will be taken care of by Adreno 610 GPU. In Europe, the device is available in two variants - 4GB + 64GB and  4GB + 128GB model. There is also a dedicated microSD card slot which takes up to 512GB.  We can expect a slight upgrade here especially in the RAM department.
