Is Poco M3 worth buying?

The consumer should not be the only reason for you to consider this budget smartphone from Poco. There is no doubt that the phone comes with several impressive features including a really cool design at an aggressive price point. However, you need to decide what exactly you are seeking from it. The Poco M3 features a high-resolution display and a big 6000 mAh battery which make it a capable daily driver.

However, it sticks to an average Snapdragon 662 processor and a 60Hz display which aren't ideal for gamers. The camera performance is pretty decent too. So, if you are seeking value for money, then the Poco M3 makes sense.
