Is it me or is the thumbnail looking sus 😳
Honestly I might buy this phone
Two months later it's still 130$
I am watching this video on Poco M3, this device is slow but not that much that much in this video
139$ in 2021 directly from poco AliExpress store;)
Bought one of these for $143 for my dad, goddamn what a great phone, mi ui is really good, it's like the best of ios and the best of samsung in a single ui
It's actually around 100$ in India
this is so nice....thanks for this and God bless you
As of today, it's for 119€ on Amazon Spain.
NO MORE MOGUS!!!!!!!!!!!
When blue is the imposter 😳
Marques: this phone only 129 Me: I'm gonna buy this My wallet: Am I joke to you?
DON'T SAY IT DON'T SAY IT DON'T SAY IT
It is $160
I don't know about u guys... but you said it has a 18 W charger .... But I have a 22.5 W charger...
@Devies GN how's that gonna work
although the charger is 22.5W
i think what they meant was that the phone can only receive input power untill just 18 Watt

sus 😳
custom theme???
blue sus
"In case you want to protect that precious plastic." Well...
I'm glad there's company like Xiaomi who puts out great phones at low prices. You know not all country is rich like US. Most of my people here in Indonesia can only afford $100 phone. I even need to save money just to buy Poco X3.
This channel had really gone downhill. Wtf are you talking about poco replacing oneplus without any meaningful band support in the US.
Ok, something about the phone not being fast. Well not being fast is kind of taking it low. This slow fuctionality is NOT due to hardware and Xiaomi needs to see what software issue exist. Just to test this i took my old Mi Max 2 that has like 50 extra apps install in it and also has 4Gb of ram and a Snapdragon 625. This is a 2017 phone, is closing 4 years since release. In the meantime i had like a gallery app, 2 photo editing apps, a wallpaper app and a browser open on it. So i rewind this video and pushed the camera app in the same exact moment he pushed it on the Poco. Reminding again i had open apps in the background. Well my Mi Max 2(Mi Max 2 was a $220 phone) opened the camera app quite faster. You can say that maybe the camera app on the Poco is heavier and the 48mp sensor needs more time than the 12Mp of the Mi Max 2 but still tons of apps installed on the phone, open apps on the background, having being used for so much time and getting heavier and the already weaker hardware getting slower should balance such thing easily. So this phone is just badly optimized. Is not slow for any specific reason or because it is lower budget. There is a problem with software and hardware cooperation here. How can a guy with so much experience reviewing devices not get that? Maybe because he doesn't review reasonably priced devices often.
So this is..." *leatherstic* " !
I wouldn't take xiaomi even if someone gave it for free
Why?
Watching this in Februari, I can still get it shipped to my door (EU, Netherlands) for 110 Euro, which is 133 USD. The price stayed constant!
Is it faster than a Moto e6?
Does this phones cell connection work in the US??
Great phone for my grandma heh.
The name really is a turn off.
I mean $129 is still a lot for people from third world countries lol.
Galaxy M51says hi in hindi

When the phone is sus! 😳
yah mine's a 6k mah battery too (samsung's), upon good usage all day (yt, music, online classss etc) it lasts 1.5 days with a 90% - full charge. battery №1 ppl ! 😂

NO WAY!!!?!?!??! AMOGUS PHONE?1?!?1?1?!1/!!?1?!?!?1?!
American products: We have good quality, which is why we are expensive. 😎 European products: We also have good quality and high price. 😎 Chinese products: Amateurs, see all my products are sold very cheap all over the world, high specifications and good quality. 😂 America and Europe: Crying. 😭 Note: China is very brave enough to sell at very low prices with high specifications and good quality throughout the world. It will never be found in American and European products. At a very high price you can buy a lot of Chinese products on a par with American and European products. Never imagine American and European products being sold at low prices with high specifications and good quality. Because it's impossible ... 😂
Thumbnail is so fucking clever
I just realised how long your thumb is (not being mean) bcus I love ur vids

I get what you're saying about the early bird pricing, but if you really want decent prices, wait 6 months. The early bird price for the X3 NFC was €200, 6 months after launch I got mine for €180. Not only that, but most of the annoying ads had been disabled on my phone as well. Now all I have to do is deal with the bloatware...
Set the animations to 0.5x or turn em off altogether and on version 12.0.4 it's faster than other SD 665/662, helio p70 and kirin 710 phones.
its not 129 ...went up on amazon.
It will go up and down. Just wait for it when it goes down.
to those out there planning to get this phone but are worried about the UI stuttering and lag such as - waiting for the home screen to load - waiting for apps to load all these are fixed and optimized with a new firmware update for the phone it sure is very frustrating to wait for stuffs to load when the internal hardware is similar to my parents 2017 oppo r11s snapdragon 662 vs snapdragon 660 4gb ram on both but i just dont understand why the oppo r11s dont have such issues while the poco m3 does thankfully the new firmware update addresses this UI stuttering issues
What would happen if you cover the depth sensor? Would the image change?
Talks about the price of the phone for the entire video but nothing about the phone itself.
Its only like 99$ in my country and its too expensive for my parents '-'
What country is that?
F for Flagship X for Middle level M for Entry level damn thats a complete family right there
Poco m3 is kinda sus...
*THE SUS PHONE ??!?!?!??!!*
the poco x3 which cost 20$ more has cameras that goes toe to toe with iphone 11 and even better with gcam
dude samsung sells it's cheapest smartphone for $68 in India and yes people are buying it
Where can I buy this phone?
Amoug us
You're a tech reviewer yet you don't know that the animation can be speed up
And he doesn't even recognize there is some issue ether with early units or early software. He just thought is was slow because low budget. Just to test this i took my old Mi Max 2 that has like 50 extra apps install in it and also has 4Gb of ram and a Snapdragon 625. This is a 2017 phone, is closing 4 years since release. In the meantime i had like a gallery app, 2 photo editing apps, a wallpaper app and a browser open on it. So i rewind this video and pushed the camera app in the same exact moment he pushed it on the Poco. Reminding again i had open apps in the background. Well my Mi Max 2(Mi Max 2 was a $220 phone) opened the camera app quite faster. You can say that maybe the camera app on the Poco is heavier and the 48mp sensor needs more time than the 12Mp of the Mi Max 2 but still tons of apps installed on my phone, open apps on the background, having being used for so much time and getting heavier and the already weaker hardware getting slower should balance such thing easily. i am assuming the 625 should be quite slower than the CPU in this. Even in 2017 it was a lower model Snapdragon. So this phone is just badly optimized. Is not slow for any specific reason or because it is lower budget. The question is, is this like that in the final product? And if yes can it be fixed with updates?
Ohayo Poco
You are right, no way anyone can get this on hand for 150, let alone 129. Not even asian countries.
What are you talking about? In Europe right now you can find this for 127 euro on Amazon Germany. That is around $150.
You should try Micromax in note and compair to poco m3 they both are come with same price 😏
Micromax in note 1 is better option than poco
Actually, "This pricetag is sus" was a much better title😒
I've Poco F1 and it's still a rocker!
It has a 6/128gb varient also.
Poco M3?
Decent phone for the money, but only one thing missing... NFC!
NFC isn't really important to a majority of normal people buying a cheap phone
Nothing is free man in this world.. nothing.. even the Air you are breathing you are paying cost for it your life🤪🤪🤪
Will replace my mom’s old phone. She only needs Whatsapp, LTclub and long battery life.
Nice thumbnail
The thing is, the triple array of cameras look more flagship like so normies want to look as futuristic look so one camera isn't worth it
Poco M3 is sus Click here to vote him out ↓
Not to mention....for all we know Uygur forced labor was used to get this so cheap...
That "waiting" is over , after the update and 129$ is very common in southasian region 10000₹ is a fare price
Mkbhd can I ask a question is it worth it for online class normal gaming basics use?
Of course
The back of the phone is ugly.
I am going to buy this phone
You sold me! Just ordered one for my dad
It Has 6 Gb Ram , Not 4 Gb
While looking at this review... A good review indeed- A thought came to mind... " This dude probably has well over 1000 phones under his bed..."
I bought this phone today from aliexpress for 129 so the offer is still around in February 2021.
U should review the Samsung Galaxy A12,the price is somewhat similar and it seems interesting,also has an ultrawide
Sure, it’s impressive for the price, but I’d say save up a little more money and get the Poco X3. It’s a much better phone and an amazing bang for your buck, and once you put a case on it you won’t even notice the plastic back and it’ll feel like an Aluminum and Glass Flagship.
the phone is SUS
hai Bro
In Mexico this sells for about 185 to 200 bucks depending on storage
Me watching this on Poco m2
poco phone m3 was an imposter
Seems you aren't aware about Redmi 9 prime. 😑
2:48 yet adds 2 more *useless camera sensors.
I bought this phone because of mkbhd
*Realme Narzo 20 pro* almost same price Much better performance.
just turn off the animations in Developer Option. I've tested one and it did feel snappier. for the price with 1080p display and 6000mAh battery vs other brand that only has 720p display and lower battery capacity even having slower chipset than that of SD 662, POCO M3 is still the best option at its price range.
the M3 is perfect for Mobile Hotspot and Powerbank function.
At least here in Germany it's almost always available for the early bird price or even cheaper. Went down to 80€ for a short time.
Aww that's nice of the phone,
Tang ina mo

Sad won't work on tmobile in the states
You know you can get a 68 dollar phone which is the samsung m01 core which is only available in india
I guess mkbhd haven't heard of TECNO or INFINIX 😂
Better to buy the realme Narzo 20.
I think poco m2 better than pocom3
I hope that the big brands next year will start seeing 6000mah because to most important feature is battery because last year Samsung made 5000mah battery on their flagship phone and I know that last year they made a cheap Samsung phone that has 6000mah especially they making big camera bump on the phones just look at iphone 12 and Samsung s21 because it's better to have a flat surface back of the Phone
Nice smartphone especially the 6000mah battery are becoming slimmer and better
