Final thoughts
Who would have taught the Poco M3 will look this beautiful. We probably didn’t see this coming, we were taken by surprise and that’s one interesting thing about this particular phone.
The features kind of fit in with the price. Poco even when ahead of the competition in some kind of ways especially when you settle for the USB-C reversible connector at some point. That’s a game changers!
