Six months after the launch of the POCO M3 model, POCO has launched an upgraded version, the M3 Pro. The M3 standard version is doing relatively well among many 4G entry-level phones, so can the M3 Pro do well among entry-level 5G phones? 

The POCO M3 Pro 5G is currently available on Aliexpress for just $169. Use coupon code 10M3PRO to get another $10 off!

We got the phone in advance to check out the brand’s latest entry-level 5G phone.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Design

The M3 Pro’s appearance differs from that of the M3, and clearly, changes have been made once again. The lens module is still a vertical triple camera setup, but the large black rectangular design has been removed. The M3 Pro has a new back cover design, with two rounded rectangles near the lens and the POCO logo inside.

The leather-like material on the back cover has been replaced with a mirror-reflective coating,  which is a fingerprint magnet. Although this back cover pattern design is pretty unique, and beautiful, I still prefer the M3’s standard design because it leaves a deeper impression. The fingerprint sensor is still on the side of the body. And the M3 Pro is not only equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR blaster, but it even features NFC, which is not present on the standard version of the M3. However, we still found some minor drawbacks, such as the omission of the dual speakers found on the standard version.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Display 

However, the M3 Pro brings much-needed screen upgrades. Although it is still an LCD 1080P screen, the refresh rate is increased to 90Hz, and the water drop screen has also been replaced with a hole-punch screen. The hole size is larger, but the surrounding shadows are better controlled. The screen looks rather average, but considering it is only a 5G entry phone, to have a 90Hz screen is already ahead of many other phones in the same price range.

So our evaluation of this screen is: it basically meets the needs of a customer in this price segment

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Hardware & Gaming

The POCO M3 Pro uses MTK’s Dimensity 700 SOC, which is one of the entry-level 5G chips available, so it makes sense to use it. The phone scores 329087 on AnTuTu, while in Geekbench 5 single-core test it scores 558, and in the multi-core test around 1734.

This score is a little better than the M3’s Snapdragon 662, but not by much. Because it is an entry-level chip, the gaming performance is not very good. PUBG has no way to turn on HDR Graphics and Extreme frame rate, and in HD Graphics you can’t turn on Ultra frame rate, which means if you want to play PUBG at 40fps, you have to turn on Balanced Graphics or Smooth Graphics. The good news is that it still plays smoothly with Balanced Graphics. 

Genshin Impact and Brightridge turned out to be too much for this chip, and even with Genshin Impact on Medium Graphics and Motion Blur off, the frame rate is not high. And even though the temperature is only 42 degrees Celsius, there is still a decrease in the CPU frequency in the later stages. Brightridge is only 12fps on average with the highest special effects. While it is not recommended to play these games on an entry-level phone, it’s still possible to play some games that don’t require high performance such as PUBG.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Camera Performance

Main Camera

The lens is still configured with a 48MP main camera plus a depth of field lens and a macro lens. There is no ultra-wide lens. The imaging style is relatively realistic, with moderate HDR intensity, but the colors of the flowers tend to spill over when AI is turned on. The same situation of AI spoiling the images also occurs in the evening. The control of highlights with AI on is not as good as with AI off. Perhaps POCO feels that brighter lights are more pleasing to the eye. But the best performance at night is still with the night mode, the highlight control is better than with AI off, but probably it’s because of the limited ability of CMOS, the detail part of the picture is not much improved.

Portrait Mode

One of the more pleasant surprises is the portrait mode. Because of the assistance of the depth-of-field lens, keying errors are rare. Even if the subject is not a person, the depth of field information can be correctly identified.

As for Video, the M3 Pro only supports 1080P and 720P 30fps recording, but there is Image stabilization. So daily recording won’t be a problem.

POCO M3 Pro 5G Review: Battery Life 

Coming to the battery, the POCO M3 Pro is the same as the M3, it only supports 18W charging power, but the box is equipped with a 22.5w charger. 18w charging power is still slow to fill the 5000mAh battery. Half an hour charges to 35%, and one hour to charge to 67%. It takes 116 minutes to fully charge to 100%. Weak SOC performance also means more power saving. Half an hour of Tik Tok consumes 7%, half an hour of online video uses up 6%. 23 minutes of PUBG drains 5%, and half an hour of Genshin Impact only around 10%. This level of battery life is good for an entire day.

So the M3 Pro is POCO’s first entry-level 5G mobile phone this year.

What do you think? Has the phone met your expectations?

Compared to the M3, the main upgrade point of the M3 Pro is the support for 5G and a high refresh rate of 90Hz. Although 5G may be of little use now to some users, if you plan to use the phone for two or three years, then 5G support can be a differentiating factor.

The POCO M3 Pro 5G is currently available on Aliexpress for just $169. Use code 10M3PRO to get another 10$ off!

When it comes to purchasing phones this year, there will be a new factor for buyers to consider – 4G or 5G. The sales of 5G smartphones are expected to increase this year even though most parts of the world, including key markets such as India, are yet to have 5G networks. However, there will still be lots of 4G smartphones too released alongside 5G models.

For example, Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series comes in both 4G and 5G variants. In some markets, only the former is available, while in others, both versions are available. iQOO has also confirmed that its iQOO 3 will also have a 4G version and will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro launched in China doesn’t have a “non-5G” model. However, that might change when it gets a global launch especially in markets that are yet to have 5G networks. Xiaomi may even decide to announce a different 4G flagship for these markets.

So for this week’s poll, we want to know if you will be picking up a 5G phone this year. Will you get a 5G device because there is 5G where you live or will you pick up one even though 5G service is yet to roll out where you reside? Do take the poll and also share your opinions in the comment section.

A new research report by Strategy Analytics has forecasted a surge in the number of 5G smartphones by 2020. The report also projects that 5G phone sales by 2025 could surpass 1billion units globally as more affordable 5G phones get launched.

There is no argument that the entire tech industry is heading into the ear of 5G and soon, we may start seeing affordable 5G phones. Presently, 5G phones account for just 1% of the market but the research firm predicts that will rise to 10% by 2020 as more consumers migrate to 5G phones.

According to a statement by Ville-Petteri Ukonaho, senior analyst at Strategy Analytics, “All major smartphone vendors including Apple are developing 5G handsets and will many more devices will launch in 2020.” Presently, Samsung is the market leader in 5G smartphones with strong sales in the U.S. and its home country of South Korea, where 1 million people signed up for service in the first 70 days of the rollout. But SA thinks China will be a key growth market for 5G smartphone sales as the country prioritizes rapid development of the high-speed 5G mobile networks. “The ability of the industry to deliver lower-cost 5G smartphones will be critical to allow China to reach this goal next year,” Ken Hyers, director of emerging device strategies at Strategy Analytics, said in a statement.

The next-generation 5G technology is expected to revolutionize the tech industry, facilitating the development and deployment of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) experiences for e-commerce, Internet of Things (IoT) appliances that automatically order products for home delivery and faster downloads of video ads that eat up bandwidth.

Both Huawei and Qualcomm have developed new-age 5G modems for the smartphone market. However, Huawei’s 7nm Balong 5000 modem has an edge over Qualcomm’s existing 10nm X50 modem as it supports both NSA (Non-standalone) and SA (Standalone) networks. And it looks like a new Chinese company will join the party later this year as ZTE’s executive confirms that its self-developed 5G chip will be available in the second half of the year.

ZTE’s CEO, Xu Ziyang, had revealed late last month that the company was working on a 7nm based 5G chipset. But recently, ZTE’s Senior VP and Chief Strategy Officer, Wang Xiang confirmed that the 7nm based 5G chipset will be available later this year. Unfortunately, we don’t have any details about its specifications.

Editor’s Pick: Qualcomm and Tencent are teaming up for 5G and Gaming Smartphone

He further added that 5G smartphones are costlier than 4G counterparts because it uses 50% more antennas. Another reason is that the 5G chips haven’t been mass-produced, so their costs are still pretty high. But he believes that the price of 5G smartphones will come close to 4G ones by the second half of next year.

ZTE relies on Qualcomm chipsets for its smartphones. It isn’t a big enough player in the smartphone industry to justify a self-developed 5G chipset for smartphones. So, it’s likely that the new 5G chip is targeted at CPE and IoT products.
