Is it Worth Buying POCO M3?
Yes, POCO M3 is worth buying because the phone has a powerful Snapdragon 662 processor, a massive 6,000 mAh battery, a unique design, fast charging support, good camera setup and it’s priced at only Rs 9,999. Overall, POCO M3 is value for money device at 10k, so just go for it, it’s worth buying.
Performance
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor is not a mid-flagship chip but it’s a good chipset to get at 10k and the POCO M3 comes with 6GB Ram which means, there won’t be any problem while scrolling through social media apps or playing some games.

Keep in mind, this is a budget-centric smartphone which means you won’t get the best gaming experience but at 10k can’t expect more than what POCO is offering. So if you want to buy a new smartphone at Rs 10,000 then POCO M3 is the best option to go with, you won’t have any problem regarding performance.
Cameras
The POCO M3 has a triple rear camera setup featuring 48MP primary sensor, 2MP depth, and 2MP macro lens from which a 48MP sensor will be useable, the other two cameras are just here to make-up numbers.

The phone does have a 48MP sensor but that’s it, this is what the phone gonna use most of the time. That’s not a big problem as a 48MP sensor takes good quality images and also, and 2MP sensors will give good images but that’s just numbers. So don’t expect much from those two sensors.
Overall, the phone has a good camera setup and I don’t think you will face any problems while taking images at night or even during the day. Considering the price tag, can’t complain much here.
Display and Build Quality
POCO M3 comes with 6.53 inches FHD+ LCD Display with 1080 x 2340 pixels resolution and 162.3 x 77.3 x 9.6 mm screen dimensions. The phone is made out of plastic but on the front side, it has Gorilla Glass 3, and the frame is made out of plastic.

The good thing is, it has an FHD+ display. Most of the phones at 10k comes with only an HD+ display and if you get an FHD+ display at 10k then that’s a plus point. Also, the display is also good, so there won’t be any problem while using this phone under sunlight.
Battery Life
This is where I feel, POCO is still the show, the phone has a massive 6,000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support, and an 18W charger is included in the box. In short, the battery will last for two days or more, in the end, it depends on daily use.
Don’t think much about battery life, this is the best you got.
Conclusion
If your budget is Rs 10,000 then don’t look for any other smartphone, POCO M3 is the best smartphone to buy at this price tag but still, if you have any doubt then let me know in the comment box below, I would love to help you out.
