to surprise with the design of a smartphone in 2020, it seems that all possible options have already been tried out.\u00a0But POCO M3 looks unusual!\u00a0The back cover is made of soft-touch plastic with a leather-like texture.\u00a0The material is completely non-slip and surpasses fashionable gloss in terms of tactile sensations on the head.\u00a0A highlight of the exterior is a wide glossy insert with a large brand logo.\u00a0The durability of such a combination will be estimated based on the results of two weeks of experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

watching videos.\u00a0The spoken speaker acts as the second speaker, and the sound from it is also output to the upper edge through additional holes.\u00a0The sound is loud and clear even at maximum volume, no questions asked.\u00a0Secondly, the fingerprint scanner is located in the power button and not on the back cover, as is often the case in this segment.\u00a0And finally, an IR transmitter is provided for controlling household appliances &#8211; it seems like a trifle, but it can be useful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/category\/mobile\/\">Check out our mobile section for more news and reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As befits a similar camera, the final images have a resolution of 12 megapixels, since 4 pixels are added to one for better light sensitivity.\u00a0At first impressions, coupled with a fast f \/ 1.79 optics, the camera really does not suffer from a lack of light.\u00a0Additional sensors provide access to portrait mode and macro photography.<\/p>\n<p>The 8MP f \/ 2.05 front camera supports backlit flash simulation and portrait mode with adjustable background blur.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood of the phone is the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 with two clusters, productive and economical, with 4 cores each. RAM is 4 GB, and the built-in memory can be 64 GB or 128 GB, depending on the version.\u00a0You can add microSD to the triple tray to store your media.\u00a0At first impressions, the smartphone is smart, the shell flies.<\/p>\n<p>The software is presented by MIUI 12 based on Android 10. The shell is thoughtful and very beautiful &#8211; with a flat design and animation of even small elements.\u00a0Gestures are borrowed from a clean system, a dark theme and a full set of other modern options are available.\u00a0Soon, the POCO M3 will receive the updated MIUI 12.5 &#8211; a good indicator for an inexpensive device.<\/p>\n<p>he box contains 22.5W fast charging.\u00a0Power is supplied via a symmetrical USB Type-C.\u00a0But the POCO M3 will definitely not be tied to an outlet, thanks to the built-in 6000 mAh battery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
