poco m3 pros and cons is this phone is for you
hi guys this is ranjit and in this video let's do the unboxing and have a first look at this poco m3 and guys after a long time i'm actually happy to unbox and look at a budget mid-range android smartphone because lately from last year onwards in this price man of about 10 to about 14 000 uh we had a lot of smartphones but nothing was that exciting either the specs were not that good or they had other compromises but the spoko m3 is very different and i'm actually unboxing this after the event so we know the pricing uh it actually
is available in two
variants this is the storage is
different
one comes with uh six gigabytes of ram
and 64gb of storage that's what's
eleven thousand other is 6 gb of ram
and 128 gigabytes of storage that's for
12 000
but this one also has
stereo speakers and this is something
that we haven't seen
in this price range in fact even other
aspects like the ram
is lpddr4 and even the storage is ufs
2.1 and 2.2 so again
pretty excited about this one after a
long long time i think so we are getting
a good smartphone at a very good price
which is a rare idea these days and
according to poco
uh who's that anuj sharmas i was
watching the launch event he says that
this one does not have ads
so let's have a closer look at the same
now so here it is the poco m3 back if
you look at it
it gives us the basic idea it has that
big battery 6000 milliamp hour
and a 48 megapixel raid facing camera
it's
having the qualcomm snapdragon 662 and
we are having a full hd plus ips led
screen not that
720p stuff so let's open it up and this
we get and
here i think so uh we'll get some sim
ejector tool
uh we do get a case so finally uh and
some paperwork
so we are getting any something to box
unbox
this time flagships we don't get
anything so you're getting this
so you're getting the phone itself
obviously
uh they sent us this blue
color one
this pack is very different guys this is
plastic no doubt it's polycarbonate but
gives that very good
feel it said and i don't know about this
you guys let me know what do you feel
about this big poco logo over here if it
would have been just black
it would have looked more classier but
again i won't complain i will come back
to the phone later
i'll just keep this thing to the side
and uh
what else do we get these days in boxes
we are not getting anything
uh you get a usb type-c cable that's
nice usb type-a to type-c
and this is supposed to be a 18-watt
fast charger i'm glad
they are not skimping on this thing like
some other big
ompanies are doing these
days
first impressions guys first impressions
they say this is having a six thousand
milliamp hour battery
it should actually feel a lot more
heavier than it is
uh the weight balance is excellent
it just does not feel heavy many of the
phones that hover around that 6000
milliamp
feel heavy they have done a great job in
terms of weight
management weight balance it means very
balanced
uh on the top uh oh i like that it is
having an ir blaster
even at this price point uh we have uh
what do you say
headphone uh 3.5 mm headphone jack uh
this is the speaker sorry guys because
it has that dual
speaker stereo speaker here is the ir
blaster and i like the build quality yes
it's polycarbonate kind of but it does
not feel
cheap guys uh so here we have this is
the volume rocker
and this is the fingerprint scanner come
power on a button i like it
it's actually pretty convenient i would
say and bottom will be the speaker type
c port this will be the main microphone
and this will be your sim fortunately
yes it's a triple slot
they had sense so two uh what do you say
nano sims and i believe uh
this also supports uh what do you call
that uh voice over wi-fi
and even uh dual band uh wi-fi that is
2.4
as well as five gigahertz so that's
actually nice so i'm liking what i'm
seeing here guys
back main camera is 48 then again that
two two megapixel
uh front is supposed to be eight let's
just power this on guys
i hope it has a charge yes and guys by
the time it actually boots up and i
set it up here is a configuration
overview the spoko m3 is having a 6.53
inch full hd plus ips lcd screen
it is provided by gorilla glass 3. it's
part with the snapdragon 662 soc
which has the arduino 610 gpu it comes
in six gigabytes of ram
and 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage it
has a triple rear facing camera main
camera is 48 megapixel then we have a 2
megapixel macro and 2 megapixel depth
front facing camera is a 8 megapixel it
also has stereo speakers
and a 6 000 milliamp hour battery i'm
almost
done setting up the phone guys but i
have noticed that you're getting
all this so user experience certain
diagnostic personalized ads
turn off didn't even glance for me so
these things
were there so i'm disabling it um
location
i'm just leaving because some apps might
require it
but hopefully
we don't see ads let's see
what happens i'm just going to use this
so guys i've set up the device so let's
have a closer look at the same now
and guys i had updated this device it
got one software update so i had applied
that
and uh this is uh still miui 12
but we have that poco launcher on this
one but if you notice there's quite a
bit of bloatware that is pre-installed i
didn't install anything as you can see
some junk games etc get apps all those
things
are still there so quite a few apps
let's see if we can uninstall this
facebook app so yeah you can uninstall
so
luckily you can uninstall a lot of junk
not all
but as you can see the style funnel
whatever you can uninstall some of the
junk
that is installed and i feel that is
important because
what we have is the base variant 64
gigabytes and
let me actually show you the storage if
i go over here
how much do we get and if you go about
the phone as you can see
it's running on the miui version 12
which is still android 10 guys it's not
android 11
and roughly uh about 18 gigabytes was
sort of used
so out of that
64 gigabytes 18 gigabytes
is sort of used
but again it has the dedicated micro sd
card slot but again if you're sort of a
heavy user
install a lot of apps and games then i
feel that the 128 gigabyte variant
would be a better option it's available
just for about 1000 rupees more which is
a fair pricing i would say
and if i go over here if you can see all
the specs
all variants come with that six
gigabytes of ram and this is that
snapdragon 662 soc
while setting up the phone initially i
saw some minor jitters but again it
might be because it was updating in the
background
uh but it should handle this phone fine
for the most part i would say and this
is typical me ui guys
and good thing is wi-fi it's connecting
on both the 2.4 and 5 gigahertz band
that's what i like
and this is typical uh me ui as i've
told you guys
and we also have the me remote app
because
it has that
ir blaster as you can see that me remote
up but again a lot of
me apps are also pre-installed so you
have to agree to the terms and
conditions
so be careful about it because while i
was just setting up the phone i didn't
invoke anything
i got this mojo or something just popped
up like that so be careful about it
what permissions do you give to apps and
stuff let's see it's too early to judge
if i will see ads or not on this uh poco
claims that this
will not get ads but we have to see that
uh
we
have this get apps still install i
hate that app
because it keeps prompting us for a lot
of third party apps so
this is there let's look at the
fingerprint scanner it's over here
and if you press it it's even the power
button so if you press it
it unlocks and fairly fast it's not the
fastest
i would say but fairly fast and i will
simply
not complain considering the pricing of
this smartphone as you can see i'm not
even seeing
and it's unlocking so it's pretty
reliable but not the fastest i would say
now let's also look at the camera on
this one
i'm not expecting that much but again
the good thing is that the primary
camera is a 48 megapixel then we have
that 2 2 megapixel for depth and macro
and front facing is just 8 megapixel uh
so
uh let me do one thing let me actually
take some sample shots with this one
and again as i saw that it's slightly on
the slower side
i'm just going to allow it and sell
it okay so again
xiaomi app and the shutter is fairly
fast
it's not the fastest quarter of a second
delay but
i like the screen quality on this one
though it's a
sort of a budget oriented phone i'm
liking the screen quality what they have
done it's a full hd plus not that
typical hd plus so and the viewing
angles are
fine on this one so we even have the
portrait mode
and yes in real time we can see that and
this is the front facing
camera we have the beauty mode and all
those things as you can see beautify
filters and all this thing
just disable it uh so let me do one
thing let me actually take some sample
shots around my office
these are shot with the rear facing
camera and artificial lighting
and i would say it does okay job but
again the contrast levels are
not that good so you got to be careful
while taking
snaps and indoor lighting condition as
you can see
the contrast is not that
good this is the portrait mode but when
the lighting is good you can get some
decent
shots but this is my other part of the
office again as you can see
these shots simply did not come that
great in fact the pictures are
very soft i was expecting a lot better
going to the front-facing camera the
color accuracy is not that great and
it's a pretty average camera
so guys uh that's it for now for the
unboxing and
first look at this poco m3 so what do
you guys think about this
poco m3 do let me know in the comments
section certainly
a pretty good
smartphone
for the price point of about 10 or 11
000 i would say but what do you guys
