As xperia 10 ii, some good design specs phone spoiled by a lousy processor. I hope mid range phone will ditch snapdragon and use a dimensity processor.

I want to try this one just because of GSMArena's positive impression of the stereo speakers of this phone. I am not an audiophile but I am tired of my phone's mediocre mono speaker that every time I watch a video I needed to cup my palm on the bottom of my phone so that the sound will project towards me. So tired that I even ordered a brand new HTC U11, even though it's a 2017 phone, because I needed an affordable media phone that has good stereo speakers.

I don’t know about y’all but the camera takes ages to launch. I’ve missed a couple of moments because of this. It’s kind of a deal breaker, together with earpiece quality not good enough to hold a long conversation without asking the other party to repeat himself sometimes.

Oh my God, people are still complaining.. Have you seen the price? Looks like only kids are commenting these days. You know, the majority of people are not gamers but casual users who does messaging, social networks and some light photos, which anyway end up being uploaded on Instagram and Facebook. For day to day tasks this phone is absolutely fine! I don't know why GsmArena didin't mention it but this phone also supports Hi-Res Audio for a good audio quality through headphones, and with a big battery it's almost a perfect multimedia device. Not everyone needs super powerfull processor and tens of gigas of RAM.

Swordman, 15 Dec 2020Redmi Note 9S cost like $100 more. Poco X3 is a btr option tho. Costs 100 more? Where are you seeing those prices?
In amazon.de like the article shows the price is around 180, redmi note 9s is about 180 too...
If you compare in Aliexpress from China, Poco M3 is about 130 and Note 9S is about 150 so close enough. Note 9S is a MUCH better deal.
If you can import from China Poco X3 is even better for around 190. Much superior phone.
This M3 is suitable for kids as the first phone for example, nothing more than that.

Anonymous, 14 Dec 2020Kinda sad the M3 is not really worth it, I mean sure it is ... moreSame case like the Mi 10T, the Poco M3 is much cheaper in SEA. It starts from €121 for 4/64, and can get even cheaper (€102) during sales.

123pi, 15 Dec 2020Oh! Have you tried it? Is it that bad? I ordered as a gift,... moreFor normal use, it's fine. And firmware updates already improving the app switching lag. Besides, it is decent for gaming with the stereo speakers.

Alex 94, 14 Dec 2020Realme is much better deal. Dont be folish with this batter... moreI suggest you use a Realme before commenting. For example the Realme 6's 90Hz display has ghosting problem, dim brightness and RealmeUI still buggy after updates. Price-wise Realme only cheap in India but price increase in other countries. Realme 7i is MYR999 while Poco M3 is MYR699 in Malaysia. That is MYR300 ($74) difference for a phone using same processor.

Markuss, 15 Dec 2020maybe you got that price in resellers, that's too much... moreNot resellers, just regular stores.
Same stores that sell the X3 for €219 (because except the cery first week, it's price was never €199)

I'm really surprised on how it looks on hand. It looks and feel so bulky. Kinda weird coz the official photos doesn't look like it.

Finally a review that actually mentions that the audio is recorded in mono with a 96Kbps bitrate which is frankly terrible even for a budget device.
Perhaps GSM Arena could start including this information as standard on all their reviews. You delve tooth and nail into video and photo resolution but frequently fail to talk about the audio quality.
What's the point in reviewing all these fancy phones but then not mention the audio quality? Great video with shabby audio is a major miss for me.
