Xiaomi Poco M3 Pro 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Poco M3 Pro 5G - almost a hit

The Chinese company Xiaomi releases smartphones at an enviable frequency, and most of them are commercially successful. However, not many are able to achieve the title of true bestsellers, which will be talked about by millions of people. The hero of today's review could well be such a phone, but a number of small flaws still leave it beyond the boundaries of super successful devices.

The appearance of the novelty tries to be relevant for the middle price segment, however, it is possible and even necessary to criticize it. The bezels of the screen are far from minimal, the plastic of the case is inexpensive, which affects the tactile perception of the gadget. On the positive side, we note a stylish triple camera, a convenient side fingerprint scanner, an 8-megapixel selfie camera installed at the top of the display. The quality of the 6.5-inch OGS panel is decent. The developer did not save on the resolution of the IPS-screen ( 2400x1080 pixels), the brightness and contrast indicators are also good. It fades slightly at the corners of the image, losing visibility in direct sunlight. In this regard, AMOLED displays are much more interesting.

Technical characteristics have become an excellent combination of performance, manufacturability and energy efficiency. So, the Mediatek Dimensity 700 processor supports 5G networks, and together with 4GB / 6GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video chip, it also offers smooth functioning of even such resource-intensive games as Genshin Impact. True, the graphics settings will be low-medium or even lower. At the same time, the chipset helps to get about a dozen hours of active screen time from a 5000mAh battery. You won't have to think about charging for a couple of days. The volume of internal storage is 64 / 128GB of ROM , the microSD card slot is also in place.

Getting a detailed daytime snapshot with the main 48- and 2-megapixel cameras is not difficult, such shots are difficult to confuse with other photos of flagship gadgets. However, the modules are much worse at night shooting, which manifests itself in an excess of noise, frequent smears. The ads in the software, the lack of stereo sound, are also disappointing. But Android 11 , an infrared port for controlling household appliances and NFC contactless payments will definitely add to the list of advantages of the device. As a result, we got a balanced Android smartphone that easily competes with many opponents, but the disadvantages close to critical will not allow it to reveal its full potential.
